Author Topic: why is this forum so broken  (Read 1022 times)

You guys are still not getting it.

If you post twice within 20 seconds, it will stop you.

If you try to post that failed post 19 seconds later, you'll have to wait yet another 20 seconds.

Same applies to PMs and 20 seconds after logging in. You can't post for 20 seconds after sending a PM or logging in.

How do you even need to post twice in under 20 seconds?
Take a look at the forum statistics, and find Night Fox. Then you will understand.

He means that when you login, you can't post for 20 seconds.
no, it happens for other things
logging in, posting, and sending private messages
there might be more, but if there is I haven't heard of them
Search is great, you have to actually understand the filter for it to work.
no
for example, it only shows you one result per thread, and I don't know why
searching "picture" posted by night fox, only in off-topic only shows one result for the RL pictures thread, while I know damn well I've said that multiple times in that thread
this can be problematic, because I'm pretty sure it only shows the most recent instance, and most likely that's not the one you're looking for

It's also like this for reporting. It's bothersome.
However, I think the time reset thing should be fixed, however waiting 20 seconds to post again is fine.

if you think the search is bad, go try looking for something on the minecraft forum. this search system is at least a more efficient means of finding what you're looking for than backing out to go use google.

it seems that every block/building game forum is broken

ex: roblox's is totally forgeted up, especially with the search

search is a difficult thing, especially when it searches for things in posts.

I hate this when I post on a thread in general, see an offtopic thread that is cool, and try to post, god damn not 20 seconds yet. 10 seconds later [must'v finished by now] /me posts 20 moar seconds d00d
loving
stuff

When I get that 20 second wait thing, I'll wait the time, and then go to post and it'll say "You may have already hit submit blah blah blah you probably already posted this"

And I also get logged out in the middle of typing a post, so when I hit post it clears the whole field like "you gotta be logged in for this" and all...I guess that's avoidable, though.

I'd like to hear from Badspot on how up-to-date this forum is, because as far as I know, things have always been like this.

okay, seriously, it's the most aesthetically pleasing forum
The forums needs a slight redesign (HINT HINT BADSPOT TALK TO KINGDARO HINT HINT)

Kingdaro's Blockland Light (1) + Kingdaro's Blockland Light 2s background is pure love.

With a slight redesign of the inner "Content" box, Transparent buttons (Backgrounds), and the buttons moved up to the top bar it would be wonderful.

search feature works perfectly fine, I dont get what the problem is

Hey I didn't even notice he complained about the search.

The search works perfectly there is nothing wrong with it. If you are looking for something really weird and the search can't find it pump what you are searching for into Google with "Blockland" or "Blockland Forums" after it.

the box surrounding the window doesn't match anything, the top bar following you down is actually very annoying, and the white background looks better than light blue
the only thing he needs to change is the catbg image and the home/search/etc. images
