You can't edit your posts if someone posted after you, sadly @Micro. They said it's because some people abuse this to edit old posts like "NOTHING HERE" or ".", which I have seen, yes.

Yeah, but i guess it's just used in "servers to play on" forums because when their "Community" or "server" gets closed they just edit their posts and write those things. Still EDITING of posts must be allowed because there are many "communities" and "Servers" who want to update their topics and they are not dead/going to die.

It was stated that if you want to change your topic you must PM a moderator/administrator with the changes you want to apply and they will do it.

Great job everybody in there

Nice look, Bad backend

[peppinoita]

I'm very happy about this!

 

good job

[GTX]

Cool! Good job!

[EstrategiaGTA]

I found the mobile version very cool and easy to use. It lacks some features (Code, Wiki page, Spoiler, Colored Divbox...) but it's indeed very easy to use and well done.

 

Good job!

I'm having a weird issue in which the "remember me" does not work, after about 1hr or so I get automatically logged out of the forum. Any idea how to fix this?

Yes, this is true, and we thought about it as well. Unfortunately, it's not as easy to do in IPS as it sounds as you can not just enable post edits per a subforum. You can enable that only globally in all forums per user/group. We will look into the possibility of improving that functionality, but we can not promise that it will ever get done.

Worst case scenario, you can ask a moderator to edit your post. Or you can copy your first post, reply to your topic by pasting your post and editing whatever you want to change, then ask a moderator to copy/paste your post to the first post and delete the post you have just made.

Please keep in mind that these forums were re-opened less than three days ago. Since IPS (the forum software we are using now) is something most of us have never worked with before, it is a whole new experience for us moderators too, so we want to fine tune things based on your feedback to suit both you guys and us moderators the best. If something concerns you, do not be afraid to speak up. No rule or setting is set in stone, so just wait and see and we all will hopefully work things out.

Thanks for the feedback. We already know about that issue, please check the announcements at the top of the forums. Edit: Thanks @EstrategiaGTA.

Any chances on a bit darker theme?;

 

Other then that and ability to edit server posts ourselves I haven't any complaints.

[jhxp]

Maybe.

I have some good news regarding the post editing though. Darkdreamingdan has done some magic again and added a custom feature to the forum software. It is now possible to edit first posts in topics posted in sections where such edits are desired. You can find more details about this feature here:

Good job MTA Team , 

[Ahmed Ly]

Good job

[jhxp]

Another update: All login issues should be fixed now, thanks to darkdreamingdan and Jusonex Please delete your MTA Forums cookies in order to take full advantage of these fixes, or else you might run into login issue no. 4 (inability to sign out from forums).

Also, darkdreamingdan has added more themes to forums, including a darker theme and variants with larger default fonts for Arabic users.

 

That should be the majority of changes you guys wanted us to make. If you think that there are other things that need tweaking, please post your suggestions in the Site/Forum/IRC/Mantis/Wiki related subforum, or PM me if it's a security problem.

 

Thanks for all of your feedback and kind words.

This looks kinda weird, but it looks awesome. Just that I'm not used to it.

Great job! (I never expected MTA:SA to use IPS, :$)

Can you describe the exact problem you're experiencing? i just tested this and  it works fine for me.

[AleksCore]

@darkdreamingdan I got this:

Sorry, there is a problem

You are not permitted to register a user account with this site.

Error code: 2S129/1

@darkdreamingdan I think we are both banned on the every forum with IPB engine. Just a guess, can't be sure of course.

Update: friend said he registered. And I have an account so I won't try

Thank you!

Oh wait, he said he used mobile internet.

Found a few problems/bugs, for example you cannot edit own OLD posts or topics, I cannot find any edit button. Only new posts/topics have the Edit button present. Integration problem?

Also older posts with [.code] tags, or (not sure) even new ones, have bugged out and display in awkward, inconvenient way the code contained, such as for example this topic:

https://forum.multitheftauto.com/topic/88558-debug-tool-vehicle-origins-scenario-code/ (lost its layout and all stretched horizontally)

@jhxp

As discussed previously, you can now edit your own posts and topics in specific topics.

Thanks for the feedback regarding bugs with old [ code ] tags.  This is basically if non-standard code tags were used, such as  [ code=text ] or [ code=xml ].  This should now be fixed for all posts.

Finally, syntax highlighting has returned to it's old format.  You can find more information about this here:

Could you guys make darker the forum theme? Cuz when I'm coming from Notepad++, I'm torturing my eyes to see the forum.
