ClansAreForGays Post #1

It's something really small, but would be enormously helpful. You know how when a topic's name is to long (like this one's) the end of it is cut off and replaced with '...'(in the forum index) well, I think a really minor upgrade like having one of those plain tan text boxes pop up when the topic name is too long to be read would be awesome. Many times I only open those just to read the topic's full name.

If you're going to do this then also make it display a certain amount of the first post as well.

None.

No. I've seen that before somewhere else and I hated it.

No, it's good. If IP is going to code at tooltip for showing the title he might as well include part of the post as well.

None.

I'd rather it simply be the topic title. It obscures the screen too much your way. I can read the first post when I click on it.

You can read the title too when you click on it. The same reason you want to see the title without clicking the topic is the same reason why I want to see part of the first post without clicking the topic.

None.

Well the why not have the whole topic display with the rest of it while you're at it! I'd rather have no feature than have both.

Displaying the whole topic would be dumb. You have to draw the line somewhere and it should be at the first post.

None.

I like Clan's idea better.

DT_Battlekruser Post #16

The topic name in a tooltip should require editing one line of code.

If I remember, the other got disabled because it was raping the queries. Although I don't really see why it would..

None.

Ultraviolet Post #17

I like CAFG's idea better. But then again, you could always just set both as options and let the user decide.

InsolubleFluff Post #18

Display title for sure.
What about OP's name, date created, timestamp and number of replies?

None.

Finally got around to doing this. Only the full topic title for now.

Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I suppose there's something to that

[2024-5-06. : 5:02 am]

Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless

[2024-5-06. : 5:02 am]

Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value

[2024-5-06. : 5:01 am]

Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

[2024-5-06. : 3:04 am]

Ultraviolet -- Vrael

Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff

With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort

[2024-5-06. : 12:51 am]

Oh_Man -- definitely EUD

[2024-5-05. : 9:35 pm]

Vrael -- I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff

[2024-5-05. : 9:35 pm]

Vrael -- that is insane

[2024-5-05. : 9:35 pm]

Vrael -- damn is that all EUD effects?

[2024-5-04. : 10:53 pm]

Oh_Man -- https://youtu.be/MHOZptE-_-c are yall seeing this map? it's insane
