yup

That is correct. I decided that a color for each TYPE of rules-based game would be too much - if you see a red dot, you know it's a rules-based game. That's enough.

However, I think that there's enough of a difference in recruitment threads, Q&As, and general chitchat to warrant differing colors for them, even though they are all in the same overall forum.

Nice

Nice finishing touches Olan.

Now I have a request. Can you develop a tool to search for keywords within a single thread. Some games go into many pages and if I want to find out what a character did a few months ago, it gets annoying scrolling through pages.

Aother function would be a "print" thread function that produces a thread (from start to finish) in an easy to read/easy to print format.

oooooh!

Oh, as a reply to Alacrity's keyword thing: is it possible to make a pop-up thingy (like we have now on the shortened title in the latest five topics meny), where DMs can make a quick summary of what happened on those pages? That might be easier than keywords, right? Or perhaps an addition. Or perhaps completely useless

search engine

To do this properly, you need a listing of every word in your forms, and which page they occur on.

Now, I have removed most common words (a, and, the, we, etc) - but that is still an astonishing number of words to index.


Takes a long time to run.

If

If google can do it, I am sure that you can manage to make it work Olan.

an update...

All of the major indexing is done. A few posts won't get indexed this time through; I did a baseline index and am implementing the features to index posts as they are made.

At some point in the future, I will schedule the site to dump the existing indexes and auto-reindex in the wee hours of the morning. To keep it fresh, I ought to have it do so on a regular basis (to remove references to deleted posts, etc).

But that being said, we'll have 1000% more search capability than we once did.

fine.

I'm close to having site searching 100% functional, and about as cool as you will find anywhere on the web.

You have to dumb it down for those of us with a grade 4 education.

regarding dragonchat

I think a lot of the reason it is staying empty is because of the manner in which it needs to be left open. Might I suggest switching to an IRC room? I have a D&D IRC room and a bot to roll the dice (including an auto-stats feature) that seems to work quite well. Additionally, since you never have concerns with accidentally closing IRC, it's easy to have people stay on for long periods of time.

What do you think?

BAZAAM!

Whenever I try to edit a topic on a thread I posted I get booted from the page and a "not logged in" notice. Any ideas what that is? W00tah!
