Wall Update

Postby lackattack on Wed Dec 07, 2011 3:12 pm

The Wall

We updated wall on player profiles. This new version sports the following additions:

  • Show user avatars
  • Allow bb-codes and smilies
  • Delete all wall comments link

A big thanks to Dako and the Tech Team for contributing this update !!! =D>


Comcast Fix

In other news we got Comcast to remove a block on Conquer Club emails. If you have a Comcast email address you will again receive notifications and anything else you're subscribed to. As always, you can manage your notifications under Game Settings and also the Control Panel.


Updating Bug Reports Procedures

The Tech Team has also updated the Bug Reports Procedures, which you can read about here: viewtopic.php?f=506&t=159291

it's not about hate. i find no use for the wall and i'd like an option to disable it.
i'm actually glad to see that lack updates the site even if it's with a feature i don't use, it shows promise for the future.

Do you find a need to go to your profile page a lot for reasons other than the wall?

Yeah, I would like to be able to turn off the avatars.

Very much.

The wall was practical, you could see the whole page (five comments) on one screen. Now you can only see two-and-a-half comments and have to scroll down for the rest. It's just more inconvenience; not a huge inconvenience, but every little bit adds up.

Just like I've posted in the foundry about their stupid supersize maps, I didn't come here to play scroll-up-and-down.

I find it hilarious how people manage to complain about every single update.

lack could update the site by putting a 1 squared pixel dot on the bottom right of every page where you literally have to scroll all the way down to see it on the very bottom right corner, and people would complain: "Can I get a 'turn off black dot' switch?"

You can turn them off in the forum settings, together with forum avatars.

Nice update.

Where else do you see your score, win rate, etc. ?

I'd like to disable the wall as well. I hate wall posts, I'd much rather people just pm me than post on my wall. It's so facebook-y.

Can I have a way to disable the avatars that show up? I think that makes it clunky and wastes space.

I didn't say there was a problem. There isn't a problem. I was just trying to understand why you find the wall to be such a burden that you would hope that lackattack would spend time to make it optional. I guess I should have asked directly, "Why do you go to your profile if not to look at your wall?" It is really the only reason I do it. It was not my intention to irk you, although that seems to have been the result.

Natty seems to have read my mind better than I can and answered my question.

From my perspective, at those times when I do think about my score or my win rate, the single data point on the profile is not enough for me. I like the history that Map Rank gives me.
And I am too much of an inbox packrat, so I usually have to decide which PM has to be deleted before I can bring in a new one. I like the wall for quick reminders to check the chat in a team game, and this will only be better with BBCode enabled, since now a game link can be posted, rather than just a number that I have to track down myself.

This is okay, but it turns off avatars on all the forums as well. It might be nice to separate the two features, or even to implement a phpBB mod that I think is out there which puts tiny avatars on the wall. Best of all possible worlds would be a choice of wall avatars: Large, small, off.

Don't we get a medal if the thing we suggested is implemented? I don't care if you give the credit to Dako since he is the one that coded it, but can I at least have a medal since that is all i care about?
