Some questions about when functions will return

[jmucchiello]

Did anyone use them? I'm a frequent PbP player and I didn't even know the old place had them.

Making SBLOCK work again would say me a lot of hand editing.

Add to this OP list:

MENTION = USER

Getting POST to work would be useful too. But probably harder as it seems Xenforo doesn't have a post URL. Instead it uses the thread URL and uses the # anchor to get to the post.

Yeah, I never used SAY or THINK, because I didn't even know they existed. I mainly used GM, OOC, and SBLOCK. But I agree with JMucchiello, fixing SBLOCK would save me a TON of editing, lol.

Bumping this thread again, not for the SBLOCK thing, but simply for the other two features that were really simple and super useful:

1. What priority is making GM posts yellow again?

2. What priority is allowing GMs to edit their players' posts in gaming threads?

Thanks!

I still don’t understand the GM posts issue. The GM post tag I posted above made GM posts blue, not yellow.

I don’t think the latter is possible in this software.

I think he means, the entire post by the GM being yellow. Not just

GM: GM Text

Presumably, if the software can't allow the thread creator to have edit rights, it can't figure out to make their posts yellow either.

I'm talking about GMs having mod powers in their own games. i.e., this post:

GMs now have MOD powers over their own games (aka "Why are all my posts yellow?")

In this forum (Playing the Game) GMs now have more control over the PbP games they run. GMs - defined as thread starters in this forum - are distinguished from players with a yellow background to their posts. This enables players to easily pick out GM posts, instructions, information, etc...

I was only referring to the "yellow" post part. And again, since that ability seems not to exist in the software, that feature will not be returning.

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Rats. That was a TREMENDOUSLY useful feature. I'm really going to miss that sigh

Again, if I may, please stop asking for SBLOCK. It does not work for app users, and ENWorld doesn't control the app. It was unfortunate that it was supported on desktop (or to be specific, the unfortunate part was that SPOILER didn't work), but that's in the past.

Instead take this opportunity to standardize all your posts on the SPOILER tag, which now works everywhere.

I stopped talking about SBLOCK several replies ago, we're on to GM moderator capabilities now, please keep up. teasing
