Hmm, yeah, perhaps I should. Might increase the pressure to actually get it done. It's on the todo
Does it have to be played in CS? Try it in standard HL (if you have it), and if it still goes all translucent, it's a very strange bug... if it doesn't, it's either a CS client bug (unlikely) or... err... there's something fishy going on.
BTW, Geocities prob. checks the referer header on a request to make sure the link was either on a Geocities site or not a link at all... useless in browsers like the one Bllwnkle is using, which doesn't send the referer header.

Yeah, I fixed them just now. The script uses a little trick: only look for smilies if there's a colon in the text. But the winking one doesn't have a colon. So now it looks for a colon or semi-colon. Ta-da!
Okay, if it saves lives.
lol JB, well that's one real benefit of being at the top of the results page
and you're helping to keep us there!

Okey-doke. It's on the Official TWHL TODO
ministeve: that too. I'll probably just steal the JS from phpBB. snicker

Okay I'll see what it's like...
It's always a good idea to Google for a site if you know its name. Google secret number one: page titles count more than anything!
Plenty of people get here by googling for 'twhl' That might have something to do with the less-than-friendly url...

That might have something to do with the less-than-friendly url...The counter's as basic as it gets. I did it a while ago because I needed something to put in there. More to come, of course.

Space isn't really a problem. Not yet, anyway. A 'misc' vault?
lol, what should that do? Get rid of the colon?
I could do that one in 5 minutes now that the mod stuff is sorted, but I like to keep you all waiting.
Good idea, but fitting a waypoint section into the vault would need a little work, so I'll do it if there's enough interest.
Interest, anyone?

Lol... thanks!
I think PHP tuts would look a bit funny near 'how to make trees' and so on, but I have another site which has an open-source scripts section -> http://cariad.co.za/bluebox/?sec=scriptbox
It's still kind-of under development, so there's not much there yet.
I prob. won't release TWHL source code soon, partly because lots of it is a real mess. If I rewrite TWHL at some stage, I might release the old code, but you'll probably have learnt PHP by then
Of course, you're welcome to e-mail me with PHP questions, because I like answering them.

Seventh: When I mod it, it's through the database itself.
Since the topic of this was originally the shoutbox - well, could I mod that too?Heh, sure, when I write mod functions for it
When I mod it, it's through the database itself.It ignores URLs that aren't zips. It should have told you that the link was invalid...
I've changed the code so that it now accepts any URL, so if you view your map and click [edit], you should be able to re-link it.

Yep, everyone gets an [edit]. I'm still busy with the profile page and journal system though. Got some little tweaks to do... plan to put a 'latest journal entries' thing on the front page as well.
Anything I've missed?

Lol, yes sir!
How about being able to turn avatars off (or set to view small avatars only) in your profile, eh? Hmm, think I'll add that...
scary stuff... i'd prefer more shorter holidays.
we get a 3-week winter holiday too, btw.

And now forum searching itself is here! Check the drop-down list at the top of the page. NinjaGrinch: nice idea, but it sounds like something from microsoft.com.
BTW, I did something just now that works around that... ahem... bug in Opera with the shoutbox. It must have been the cause of the old echo problem.
You have to meet the following criteria:
- Joined TWHL >200 days ago
- Log-in at least 6 times a day
- Read every single forum post, and reply to >10 a day
- Be at least 6 feet tall
- Pass TWHL boot camp (6 months of intensive training in the art of forum moderation)
- Be able to survive 12 days and nights without food, water or sleep.
I've changed that to "popup" so it's a little more obvious.
Yep, it will be! So will the member search thing. I needed to do that just now, actually. Amazing coincidence, eh?
Cool ideas guys. I like the two-phase thing - it would give me a chance to answer my warning e-mails
To the OP: I really don't know why it's taking me so long to do the little mod icons. Might have something to do with having both my arms amputated and having to learn how to use a PC all over again. Life's a bitch sometimes.

Hey guys! This is news to me.
Are posts actually moving, or just getting put earlier than they should? If it's the latter, then it's probably the whole server-out-of-sync issue that caused (-es?) the onliner times to go into negatives.
If it's the former, it must be solar flares or goblins.
Either way, not much I can do

server's fault points finger and wags it sternly.
When you upload, the file gets stored temporarily until it's done, then it's moved. I reckon the server deletes the temp files pretty frequently, and it sometimes just happens to delete one you're busy uploading.
You'd think it would keep recent files (and sessions, for that matter - you've probably noticed how it logs you out randomly), but it doesn't, which is dumb, but perhaps necessary, since the host has about a million other sites to deal with.
try it again. persevere!

hello!
if it's for everything but maps, will it fit in?

okay, you got me! It is a conspiracy, I haven't written one, it is complicated, I have been arrested, and I have been transported through time to the Victorian era... so I'm writing this on a typewriter.
That last bit best explains why there's no edit feature.

ah, thanks. fixed

what browser?

btw, no point in making more ppl mods just yet, because there's nothing for them to do. there's no admin thing... hmmm...
editing your own posts... well okay then. sometime...
taking a break, y'see.

Yeah, it just can't take uploads more than 2MB, so you have to e-mail those to me. Or, preferably, upload them to your own webspace and send me the address.
off-topic posts will be deleted... ah, well, we'll have to wait till I've done an admin thing for the forums!
it's those damn smilies! oops.
oops.How about a Mods 'n Maps forum?
sounds like a good plan seventh. once you can do mysql, there's not much left (except regex, snigger!)
hmm. interesting.
you need them hosted somewhere (so it's not like the avatars).
if you have some free webspace somewhere, put them up, then just link to them with [img].

yep, it has to be preceeded by space or newline. even better than phpbb
they reset the counters, so we're at 0. vote!
da-dumm!
fixed bbcode, the <br> thing in links, and the C: thing, added more smilies, and wrote bbcode documentation, all in one day.

doh. cheap bbcode parser! will fix it...
btw, kol, what do you mean you have to edit everything?

when they reset their counters tomorrow, we'll hit first easily... so i hope everyone'll be ready to click at 00:01 tomorrow
creative use of the chatterbox! never thought of that...
never thought of that...i like withnail and i
hmm. you could use the 'stuff' forum. you know how to display images, right?
[ img ]http://url.to/image.jpg[ /img ] (without spaces)
Must get round to documenting the bbcode...
yeah, mod icons are on the agenda.
