Little irritating bit
22.01.2007 at 00:18:53

Freddy, I have a suggestion for you:

There is a bit that's slightly irritating, an 'omission' if you will.
Whenever you make a change to the "list of completed mansions" (like adding the latest UD of Catacombs earlier today), you probably just edit/modify the original list (post).

BUT that creates a small problem: I usually look at the date of each thread to determine if there is a new post or a reply etc., which our forum-software always indicates.

However, I just now almost missed the Catacombs UD, because when you look at the date indicator of the thread "List of completed mansions" it looks like nothing has been added there since Dec. 23rd or so.
I guess the reason is, that you simply modify the original list, and apparently the software doesn't register that.

So to the casual observer (of which there are lots I assume), it seems as if there are no new mansions to download.

Of course, for those who read all new posts etc., they usually find it announced there somewhere... but I'm sure we have a lot of visitors who drop by only to download new mansions.

Maybe you could find a way to change the date, whenever you make a change to the "Master list of completed mansions".

Just an idea....

Thx for your post. I see what we can do about it.

This forum software has still a lot of secrets for me, so maybe there is a tool somewhere to solve this problem. Or otherwise I have to ... think. Roll Eyes

Oh oh.

EDIT:
At the 2 most obvious places (the right forum and the right topic) I announced the date of the last changes. Do you think it helps enough?

It IS possible that there are bugs in the forum software. I made a topic about that somewhere under Announcements. Since I found a bug myself about PMs.

But since I don't understand what you exactly did and did not, it may be interesting to know that when you log out, it takes exactly 3 minutes to be really logged out. So if you return to the site within those 3 minutes you are still logged in.

Today I finally completed the changes of the appendixes of all custom mansions. For that reason I was able to remove all the text-lines about those appendixes in the post with the downloadslist.

When you arrive NOW at the downloadslist, it is immediately clear that since the start of these boards, only 6 mansions are new or got updated.

I hope you will like this improvement as well.
