Nah, Nao's the French duplicate. ;)
I am not a clone! I am a free man!™

Note to self: tech support brings donations. Actual coding brings blank stares and general confusion :lol:

Smart kids are all-powerful behind their keyboard. They can spell hypochondriasis!

Or at least they don't admit they looked it up on Wikipedia. Because they're smart. See?

I've had my share of bullying when I was a kid (wiz kid -- small village -- you do the math), but never went through a wedgie myself. First time I saw one was probably on the Simpsons. Took many more years to learn of the name. So yeah, it never occurred to me... Probably because it's not even pronounced the same way at all :whistle:

Yeah, other mods we can't do much about but modders can certainly make importers for their own work... :)

I like this idea.  So it would be showing the most extremely positively and/or negatively rated posts?
I think only the positive posts would make sense... Unless people want to have fun at themselves :P

Odds are I'd be the only person to use it on my site anyway as it doesn't have much activity outside of AeMe and the calendar.
That's the problem with Footnotes. Nobody knows about this mod because even if it's installed, only the smart ones use it. :niark:

But I'm now using it (wedge sig line) on a few other forums that I frequent.
"Hey it works", or "one simple machine to rule them all"?
The second one is mine, so you should ask me :P

(Well, of course feel free to reuse it anywhere you like. Or just any of the random silly slogans I came up with in the top-left corner of the site.)

BTW, I added a couple extra slogans and removed a few others that I felt were too boring.

99% sure.
BTW, in your sig: use [bareimg align=left] to eliminate the shadow frame. Custom tag ;)

...I can already feel the amount of tech support requests we're gonna get... :lol:

I may be the first to reach 4k posts, maybe even 5k posts, but once we're out, I'll barely reach 6k posts when Pete will hit the 100k mark :eheh:

willemjan, I didn't even know you were part of the DP team.

Solomon, AFAIK the only person here who insulted someone else was JaZz. Criticizing someone or a project doesn't amount to insulting.

I really meant a differnt topic.  However to elaborate when they stopped working on DNF and had to let go most of their employees those employees continued working on the game at home in their free time and created the company (Triptych Games, LLC) thats working on finishing it up with Gearbox.  This is the next game I'm buying
I don't know if I'll play it -- maybe for old times' sake, since I had a lot of fun with DN3D's shareware episode, in the city. But it's not my kind of game. Pete can confirm -- I'm more into RPGs and puzzle games :P

like the thumbs up/thumbs down system on youtube except its +1/-1 (like +1 Cool or -1 Lame), but on a per user level you see an overall level based on all of their individual posts.
I think it's smarter, not to show an average of the user's karma points, but a "top 10" of the user's most insightful posts, based on their rating.

I'm so downloading the footnotes mod.  :eheh:
It's still a bit buggy -- mind you, it took me months before I stumbled upon a new bug, but I left it aside now because it can't be fixed without making the processing part slower. (It's related to having foonotes inside a quote and having several quoted parts in a single message. It's rare because it implies you're power-user-material enough to use both multiquoting and footnotes...)

* Wuthering is back to being a root subfolder. Saves 700 bytes off the gzipped CSS file, and is slightly simpler. (Wuthering/*)

The only difference between the two?

We're SURE that DNF is coming out at this point. :P

There are no plans to directly import from SMF 1.1.x at this stage, so you'd tend to upgrade to SMF 2 first.
If one can.
I know I never managed to upgrade one of my boards... (Always generated errors.)

New guys yes, but some of the same people too.  It was mostly finished when 3D Realms had to stop work on it, but this is a discussion for other places.
Actually, Wedge.org is a very open forum... At least until it becomes overcrowded, there are no rules on off-topic contents, double-posting and the likes ;) (I'll just delete spamming... And signatures linking to sm.org, to Pete's request :niark:)

If SMF 2.0 came out 3 and a half years ago maybe it would be something to be proud of since IE7 was still fairly new at the time, but now the only versions that truly make sense to support are 8 and 9.
And I *just* spent half an hour fixing bugs in IE6 and IE7... :lol:
One of them was pretty curious -- this won't work: (I'm abstracting the code, of course.)

<span style="clear: both; float: left; width: 100px"></span><span style="float: right; width: 100px"></span>

If you add several in a row, the right-floated divs will be clearly off (which is slightly annoying when you really need to have a proper series of value pairs.) It works in IE8 and any decent browser really. I had to fix it by, ahem... Removing the float: right. Thankfully, it doesn't have any effects on the actual resulting layout...

My favorite forum software isn't publically available as it was written specifically for the site its used on as far as I know.  See www.roosterteeth.com.
I don't find anything special in it...? Except maybe for profiles?
