Turns out imgur doesn't allow its use to host avatars.  You'll need to find another image host.

Max avatar size is 120x120px.  The one you're trying is 1024x768 so is 1) far too large, and 2) not a square.

Now that I´m here, how do I find the forum thread number? The url doesn't show it anymore.

Top left of each thread, there's a button with a # symbol.  This'll give you the old-school link, like https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=58575.new#new for this one.

I wanted to try my hand at offering up some art for the website.
Here's my take on Number 4 and Number 3 respectively for the Nominee and Winners of the AGS award:





I have the SVG files these came from and would gladly pass them along to be edited/resized if there's any interest in them.

Looks good, thanks!  https://new-site.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/game-details.php?user=signed-out&vote=no&comment=no&theme=light (light theme) and https://new-site.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/game-details.php?user=signed-out&vote=no&comment=no&theme=dark (dark theme).  It would be useful to have the SVG, yes, please.

Is it normal that the tables do not have any borders on the new forum?

Example:
https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/modules-plugins-tools/attn-plugin-authors-gathering-plugin-sources/msg636479467/#msg636479467

This is how it is in the theme, yes.  Not a deliberate choice, just something we missed.  We'll try to get around to tweaking it at some point!

PHP was configured to the default timeout on the server, I've tried increasing it to see if that makes any difference...

Here's code that fixes these broken links:

Code: javascript

  document.querySelectorAll("a.bbc_link").forEach(a =>  {
    const parts = a.href.split(/\/\/\//);
    if (parts.length > 1) a.href="//" + parts[1];
  });

Yet more @Khris magic!  I've implemented this, thanks.

Facebook.co.uk (facebook.co.uk)

https://www.facebook.co.uk

Works fine if you type an actual URL, so do that!

There is a whole new version of the site in the works, which will address a lot of useability issues like that.  Watch this space!  (Possibly for a long time, I do have a day job too!)

A usual culprit for this is people trying to include a YouTube link with the full "https://youtube.com/" address, rather than just the video ID as specified on the page.  Did you do that?

Yeah, sorry, the MediaWiki plugin we use to understand forums logins was previously bugged.  Luckily it was patched not long ago.

I think it's fixed now?

Let's try to organise it more like we have in the past next year.  Like longlisting destinations late 2023, garnering interest early 2024, booking spring 2024.  I'll stick some reminders in my calendar.

Here's an optimized version:

Code: JavaScript

window.addEventListener("load", function() {
  document.querySelectorAll('a[href^="https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/profile/"]')
  .forEach(a => a.href = a.href.replace(/%20/g, "+"));
});

Thanks, that's implemented!

Unfortunately this is a known bug in the SMF forums software.  All I can suggest is you try to rephrase your text to avoid using apostrophes for the time being.  "I am" instead of "I'm" sort of thing.

Thanks!  I've added this to both themes' JS files, so no need for a local GreaseMonkey script.  It's not quite perfect, as there are other places profile links appear, but this is a great starting point I can use to add other classes as I find them.

Thanks, @Khris, I've adjusted it to the following, which is a bit more heavy handed, but should coves all eventualities.  Let's see if it slows things down at all!

Code: JavaScript

window.addEventListener("load", function () {
    document.querySelectorAll('a').forEach(a => {
        if (a.href.includes('https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/')) {
            a.href = a.href.replace(/%20/g, "+");
        }
    });
});

Here's a GreaseMonkey script that will fix this:

Code: JavaScript

// ==UserScript==
// @name     AGS profile link fix
// @version  1
// @grant    none
// @match https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/*
// ==/UserScript==

window.addEventListener("load", function () {
  document.querySelectorAll(".poster h4 a, .postby a, .moderators a").forEach(a => {
    a.href = a.href.replace(/%20/g, "+");
  });
});

(In case you don't want to use GreaseMonkey, simply replace the spaces in the username with + symbols)

This is a known issue with the rewrite plugin.  All the pages are still accessible via user ID rather than the rewritten name, like https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/pm/?sa=send;u=39 to send me a PM.

It's a bit longwinded, but if you go to https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/mlist/?sa=search and search for the username, the link in the Status column on the results page will include the user ID.  Then plug that into the address format from above, and you'll be able to do what you need.

We don't have any control over search, it's core SMF functionality.

However, in this particular case you could do "ports -reports" and it would exclude any results matching reports.

On the second point, there's a bug in this version of SMF where profile custom text cannot include certain punctuation marks.  Apostrophes at very least.
