Site improvement

[pav]

I have finished first step of integrating Forums with the rest of the site. From now on, you can use your Forum login to post comments, upload dumps on Ladder, post screenshots and movies. This is a convenient way of cloaking your email address, as this Forum is set up the way your email address is never shown to public.

you're awesome

Very nice idea!

Active threads on forum

When You click on a thread in the "Active threads on forum" section of the front page of the site it would be nice if it took you to that post rather than the first post in the thread.

Good idea - implemented.

i've posted more than one character to the ladder, and in the emotional moments following their demise, lost my sense of pride forgot to dump. i'm probably not the only one. i think it would be a great idea to provide a way for a logged in user to flag one of his dumps dead.

Good idea. I'm a patient player so I never had the need for it.

Implemented. It's in the comment column just below the Related characters.

excellent response time, and good work

How about being able to post to r.g.r.a if you're logged in on the forums? (with appropriate warning about email being displayed)

Would it be possible to have a log out button at the top of the site? As at the minute if I forget to log out of the forum and then go elsewhere on the site I have to come back to the forum to log out.

If you go that route, the ability to read RGRN would be nice, too. I don't particularly like Google Groups.

I considered this, but haven't had time to implement it yet. It's on the to-do.

In every place where forum login is used on the site, there's always Log out link nearby, so I don't see the need for this. I don't want to force the impression this is a log-in site on casual visitors.

I have added rec.games.roguelike.nethack to the site - adding another newsgroup is pretty easy. You must excuse the lack of proper threadage, because my news server carries only like 14 days worth of articles. It will get better over time.

No problem, getting used to it now.
