Mercs Forum Update Details

[Mandalore the Uniter]

The youtube links is a seperate mod we have to add.

And you should now see the youtube tag button. =)

Aha! There it is. I only asked because I was looking at a thread that had a youtube link but it didn't register the imbed video.

Cool...one less thing to worry about.

This is from my iPhone (no computer it crashed)

Try hitting the 'login' button on the main menu. There is a longer form for logging in on that page which includes the option. Also, make sure you have cookies turned on for your phone. Sometimes phones don't allow cookies by default, but you'll need them to use the 'keep me logged in' feature.

For some reason, when trying to reply to this thread, it is kicking us directly to youtube. It lands on the reply page for a sec then goes strait to youtube.

That problem occurs when you include the '&feature=youtu.be" at the end of the URL. Make sure you don't post with that '&feature' stuff at the end of the link. Cut off the URL right before the ampersand (&).

So links like this:

www.youtube.com/39852101845&feature=youtu.be

cut off to be like this:

www.youtube.com/39852101845

Highly recommend Aeva Lite for auto video embedding... it's slick!

[Mandalore the Uniter]

I was looking at this earlier today.  We may add it, we'll see if it's something that will work for us.

That wasn't the issue. The issue is it is automatically adding it to it when you try to click reply for that thread, and then in return sending us to youtube.

Seems to be working now though so happy dance!

^^ This!  Thanks for your continued effort, ner'vode! 


I know you have tons of things to do and plenty to work on but perhaps once you have the bugs squashed and take some time for yourselves, might you possibly consider a mod like this one to add a checkbox by topics to mark as read.  I usually load the forums directly through the "Show unread posts since last visit" page there are a lot of times when I only have time to get through one or two pages and the current "mark all as read" button means missing out on some threads.  I know it's a little thing, but I'm surely not the only one who would find it useful if you could maybe tack it on to the bottom of your list.


Thanks again for all your work, the new site looks great.  Just enough of the old site left over with the new polished look.  Very nice.

First off, I love the new look and having the bookmarks tab back is AWESOMENESS!

Would it be possible to add arrow buttons to go forward and back a page at a time through the forums? I highly doubt i'm the only person who checks in here using a mobile platform (i.e. smartphone/tablet) and touchscreen clicking the tiny numbers to jump between pages isn't exactly easy to do, even with a 10" tablet screen.

Thanks again for all your hard work and dedication!

I'll look into doing just that.
