Thanks for posting that Blasty

Some more BB codes would be nice. I see he mentions the rebuild . All posts I've seen indicate that's a long way off.

It may not be a bad thing if it is a long way off. If recent changes and additions are indicative of what's to come, then the future doesn't look promising.

Hmmm, I'm feeling particularly negative about the forums today (been working on linkify most of day, and that doesn't help). So with my (temporary) bad attitude, it's best I keep things brief.

It's not just the code and the lack of features, there is also the mindset behind these forums that stifles healthy communication and expression. Big changes are needed on a number of levels before these forums can really improve.

Indy take a break and look at things later. I hate that they give vague or brief information about things that could change how Linkify functions without so much as dropping a line here..

@ Ryan%A0M,

Soundcloud is a good idea, and thank you very much for the pastebin. I'll definitely include that very soon

I'm not sure about the video URL. I assume if [Show in a thread] from profile, points to a post containing a video (youtube and/or twitch?) the URL in the post is getting messed up. I'll try to reproduce this and get something sorted out.

­­Edit:
I tried to find a name with spaces that has posted a vid and use the show in thread from their profile to view their post. Here's one I tried...

forums.ws?259,260,626,65488667,&showuser=The%A0Junesong

This seemed to work correctly, not sure what I'm missing :/­­

I don't recognise that quote/lyrics, but that was a nice touch to add to the end of your post

It's not so much that, all of Linkify's life has existed a knife edge and a number of forum updates have broken it without warning (oddly every time that happens no improvements have been made to the forums). I'm okay with that, that comes with the territory.

I expect the people who work on the forums don't know linkify exists, and that's okay with me too (I prefer a low profile anyway).

I don't like to rant, this thread is meant to be positive. I'd rather find things to praise Jagex about. It's just that sometimes (yesterday for me) they make that very hard to do.

Anyway, it's all good now
