Title: HLP Forum Re-kajiggering - Phase 1
Post by: Axem on April 04, 2017, 08:23:06 pm
Hello!

In case you haven't noticed, things have... changed a bit. Just a bit.

Let's go over them real quick so you know exactly what to complain about look for. :)

1. Boards moved and shuffled
There's some new boards, like the trio of release related boards. I'd heavily encourage anyone releasing something (a campaign, a ship, a script) to post it in the appropriate forum. The Missions & Campaigns Release board is the old Missions & Campaigns board right now, and the non-release threads will slowly get moved over to the "new" FRED Workshop board (its just the old FRED forum). And similarly the releases from the Modding and Scripting forums will slowly migrate over to their respective release boards.

Also all hosted projects are in more consolidated categories. Either Standalone, FS2 Required or Non-FreeSpace. The Fan Art forum got renamed Arts & Talents and moved down to Off Topic, and a few other smaller boards (Interviews and Voice Acting) got placed as a child to a related parent forum.


2. Expanded user profiles
There's now 3 new fields you can fill in on your user profile. They are there so you can list the campaigns, assets, scripts or anything else you want to keep around. They are fully bbcode enabled, so you can throw in images, p3ds, or auto-playing soviet anthems (actually maybe don't do that last one...). You can check out my profile to see how it looks. (Currently work in progress!)


3. Avatars (and some other tweaks)
Yes, they're finally here. You are free to upload and display an avatar of your choosing. But just to make things interesting, the graphical size limit is 150x60. The forum will resize it down if its larger than that. The only rules we'll have for avatars are no animation and must be in good taste (that is nothing X-rated or deliberately insulting/offensive). I think everyone on HLP is mature enough so we won't have any issues with that though.

Okay, one additional rule:
Badges that are normally given out by project leads or staff meant to show meaningful contribution to a project or to HLP itself, are not allowed in the avatar without permission. Even if you have totally good intentions, it can create confusion among those that may not be familiar that you are not actually part of the project or staff position.

If you don't like avatars or the prospect of a facist neo-libertarian communist with a cute cat girl avatar yelling at charming you, you can disable seeing avatars in the Look and Layout section of your user profile.

Also the user section of a post has been slightly rearranged. Badges are now under avatars, personal text is now above avatars, and post counts are hidden (though you can still see your post count on your forum profile!)

So let us know how you like the changes, what we could do to make them better, or what thing that needs to get changed back NOW.

And keep in mind this is just phase 1. We've got forum tags and image thumbnails coming up... hopefully soon (as soon as Goober figures out why they're not quite working now), and hopefully more fun stuff in the future (like the new site!)

I just want to say Goober was supportive of the idea after all the points and posts were made in the end. I recognize that it can be hard to see long standing traditions change, so let's not drag anyone in the mud because of it.

Weird not to see the admin avatars anymore, but I'm sure I'll get used to it quickly enough.

I'm far more interested in seeing how/if the new forums get used, in particular the releases forum. For my part, I'm probably going to want to continue to put Frontlines ship releases into the Frontlines forum, since nobody seemed keen on the idea of merging project forums, but a double post link to the release thread is probably a good call. Will there be any drawing in of recent release threads to populate the new forum?
Title: Re: HLP Forum Re-kajiggering - Phase 1
Post by: Axem on April 04, 2017, 09:34:29 pm
Yes, a double link in the forum will be fine. Or even just a thread that's just a link to your original release thread is fine too. Tomorrow I'll post the guidelines for using those forums.

But I will be organizing a sort of push to move as many release threads to the right forums. If anyone is interested in helping, post here or PM me! (This is sort of a first try at the HLP aide thing too). Hopefully we'll be able to get a good number of them so the forums are useful to people.

All I'm saying is that it's nice to see progress, change and improvement happening on hlp after years of (enforced) stagnation.

Now I can be the smug anime girl of my dreams on HLP. Or something like that.

You're all so beautiful...

Phantom Hoover: I give you credit for your little gag there. :P You had me fooled there for a second as well. But now I'm going to have to be an evil tyrant and create a new rule for avatars.

"Badges that are normally given out by project leads or staff meant to show meaningful contribution to a project or to HLP itself, are not allowed in the avatar without permission. Even if you have totally good intentions, it can create confusion among those that may not be familiar that you are not actually part of the project or staff position."

So I'm going to have to ask you to change it in the next 24 hours or so.

Also just generally to add to the rule, if you want to make up a badge for something you're involved with that isn't hosted on HLP and throw it in your avatar, that should be acceptable.

I don't think so, since a number of other people have inserted it into their avatars, but just the HLP logo alone is so plain! Jazz it up!

Anyway, I want to thank Spoon and -Joshua- very much for helping move topics around to and from the new releases boards. Missions and Campaigns is totally moved, and Modding is moved up to around 2009. We might continue to move modding threads past 2009 just for posterity, but the link rot gets super heavy by then.

You two are mega-amazingly-super-awesome. :yes: (Have some gold stars)

You. I like you.

Now we just need a Purple Sathanas that shoots Mysterious Light Beams.

of course, they find their own targeting solutions

I used to have a pink Sathanas lying around.

Who says this wasn't just the result of my 10 years of planning contingencies for the contingencies for when we finally got avatars?

Oh it's all becoming clear now. This was Axem's master plan all along.

Shame you still don't. It'd be awesome to have a pink/purple Sath. Perhaps he can be used as Mr Cuddles.

I don't think so, since a number of other people have inserted it into their avatars, but just the HLP logo alone is so plain! Jazz it up!

Eh... an artist I am not.  :(  Maybe I'll try merging one of my preferred FS fighters with it or something.

Time for the hard hitting questions: How many neps can a nepnep nep if a nepnep could nep neps?
Google Skynet is at it again. Still maybe this video that just appeared in my recommended list will give you the answer you're looking for...

Don't blame me, I've literally been using this thing for something like 16 years.  Though it doesn't really fit with my nom de plume.

You know what? I honestly didn't even think of this. Brilliant. I'll be sure to note this down for future purposes.

Not many. Don't worry though, we only start harvesting souls at phase 4.

Has the recent re-kajiggering anything to do with the error 502?
I get this error now quite regularly since the forum changes.

There's actually a thread just for that (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=93445.0), because the answer to that question is still up in the air.

Something really weird just happened.
The reply and new topic button both disappeared on me just minutes ago. Loading a page took a long time. It's gone now but I'm not sure if it will return later on.
Does the re-kajiggering maybe have caused this?

It's definitely not moving forums which caused this problem. But there are other things that are going on which might have done. Check the thread linked above for details.

It's been fixed now, hopefully won't re-occur.
