Something I've noticed recently - when you make a post and tag someone in it, then go back to correct a typo in the tag or add a new tag, you get a database error telling you the value doesn't exist. However! It will work through the use of {MEMBER=X}UserName{/MEMBER} tags, so I can only assume it's something to do with the auto-tagging feature using the @ symbol

Additonally you can get the X for the member number from the URL on their member page; for example my URL is http://wintreath.com/index.php?part=profile&id=1247 so my ID is 1247,
thus if you wanted to tag me you could type

Code: [Select]

[member=1247]HannahB[/member]

Is there any way to fix that scrolling glitch we've always had?

I mean that glitch to where if it's sentences upon sentences, the post automatically adjust itself...whereas if it's one giant continuous word, it pulls the page out to where you'd have to scroll to see the entire thing.

While I certainly don't know the entire logistics, I think it would be theoretically possible. HOWEVER it would require splitting words at a certain point. The reason why it does that is because, from what I can tell, the software checks for spaces when determining alignment, as such if there is no space it can not determine how to split it, so it simply doesn't. This leads to the page being stretched out, and also leads to the alignment for spaced-words being screwed up because it has a bit more space for them now...

Ultimately I'm not sure how doable it would be though.

How am I able to fix the time difference because of daylight savings? Everything is an hour behind on here.

I only recently figured out how to change the time and date settings for my profile.

You go to Old User CP -> Modify Profile -> Look and Layout. You'll see an option called Time Offset. Just adjust that by however many hours you need to to get it set to your local time.

I'll just mention you as well. @Gerrick.

Ah great thanks.

No problem. Took me forever to figure out where it was.

@Wintermoot why is the Old User CP called the Old User CP if it has so many important features?

  Just because something's old doesn't mean it's not important, tau!

(I'm only joking, I had the same question, too!! )

I mean, "Advanced CP" might make sense, but "OLD" (especially since it's in all caps) seems to imply that it's obsolete...

It's a holdover from when the new profile layout came online. Instead of just deleting it, Mootles pretty much left it so that if people preferred they could use the old one, with more features but slightly longer to navigate, or the new, that had all the main features on one page but lacked some customisation options

Or he never got round to removing it haha

I think he can't really remove it, since there are actually important features in the Old User CP that aren't anywhere else (for example, date/time settings).

I think he didn't get around to coding them into the new CP, so that would make sense yeah.
