10,000 characters is too few??? What kind of post are you making?
We have a forum game subforum prefix, a writing topic that may or may not become useful one day etc.

Also, 10 000 characters? I'd feel a bit restricted with 10 000 words.

Can't it be, like, a million characters or something?

If you need more than 10,000 characters then double-post.

Hopefully forum members and staff will recogise it for what it is and not sanction the post as a bump within their silly 48 hour window.

That's not possible unless it's the latest post. What if I want to add something to the OP?

Isn't it that any code that you put into your post counts towards the total number of characters in the post as well as just any general text you are entering? If it is, then I could see that as a problem for people who want to show complex scripts/code they have a problem with. Not sure if this is the case, but pretty sure that I saw someone say that when it was pointed out that they had missed a couple of closing } in their code. Turns out they had been trimming down the code so that it would fit into the 10,000 character limit and had accidentally removed those } by mistake.

It's a pretty rare event where one has a post approaching but is less slightly less than 10,000 characters
It's even rarer that on the off chance it happens, you need to add content to go over the 10,000 characters
It's even rarer that should the above two conditions be met, nobody has posted.

Your asking for accommodations that is so rare it's really not worth addressing.

EDIT

Just adding a 10,000ish character text to get a feel for the size 10,000 characters is;

OK, Maybe 10,000 characters isn't a much as I pictured, and is a little limiting.

Nope It aint much. The FMOD Topic in GMC it about 19000. How to make a DLL is about 30000... and I posted bigger

Okay, so I've upped the limit to 20,000 for now, as that seems more than reasonable... if you need to post huge blocks of code (for example) there are places like PasteBin which you can use too, so I think this should be high enough. I've also made a few other changes:

Banners for staff, etc... should be fixed graphically (they were missing a border in the css)
You can now edit PM's at any time after being sent (previously they were "locked" to editing after 5 minutes passed)
I've enabled the lightbox for images, so all images embedded in a post should show up together and can be skipped between

:)

I used the indent -> button within two code tags for my code, when I posted the message it didn't indent instead just showing an Indent tag where the indentation was suppose to be.

Indent works..
Code:
[INDENT] Indent within code

Probably been mentioned on Nocturne's profile, but members can't change their birthdate currently. It says:

Once your birthday has been entered, it cannot be changed. Please contact an administrator if it is incorrect.

Forum lag - it's the elephant in the room, but I'll say it.

Since yesterday there is a bunch of forum lag. Someone is either DDOSing the forums or this forum uses the same software as Facebook. In Facebook it takes 5 minutes to load and type a message. It's not my computer, i restarted it and still no dice, other websites load just fine.

Has worked fine over here since day one. Loads up quickly and perfect both on a newer Android device and a nearly ten year old PC running Chrome.

Contacting an administrator for that is not pointess. Not allowing members to change it themselves is.
Ah, yes, now I understand what you mean.
But I am sure they have a reason -let's call it a point- as to why they do it this way.

We require a birthdate at sign up as officially this forum is for those over 13 years of age only. So, when you sign up that birthdate is registered and immutable. I imagine it's a legal thing (but don't quote me, this is just my personal opinion) so that if someone then tries to cause us problems because they are 7 and saw some gore in a game (or whatever), we can then point to the ToS and say "you said you were over 13, not our fault". So, this isn't going to change, although if you make a mistake I'll be happy to look into changing it for you.

Is there not a View Topics I Contributed to.Like on the old forum?
Hover over your username in the upper right corner until the dropdown menu appears. Select the "Your Content" option. Does this accomplish your goal, or did I misunderstand something? (Also, I'm at a loss on your alerts problem. It seems to work fine for me, but I suppose I could've not noticed it skipping an alert or something, and day one or so, I ticked the option to auto-watch threads to which I reply...)

Still got lag no matter what browser I use.
Only difference is, the only difference is that my posts go thru after the lag, on firefox I have to click them over and over.

The irony is, back in the day the lag was with Game maker not the GMC, now Game maker ain't got no lag but the GMC has lag.

Maybe have the "follow" button on the "pop-up" member card thingy? Now when you click on a member then you have click once more to go to it's profile page for a simple follow button.

*Nvm I see it now. Although I still think it should be in colour (green) maybe instead of gray. Looks like it's dimmed like a non-available state.

But ofcourse not a big deal. Unless following members becomes a big deal.

Spoilers are buggy. When writing a post with spoilers I've noticed that if you click 'more options' they get permanently and apparently irreversibly messed up a bunch. If you go into bbcode and edit around *there* to try to fix it, it just reverses itself.

@Nocturne Would it be possible to list the issues mentioned in this topic in the OP and if they were solved/unsolved, so it's easier to tell if somebody else already posted the same issue?

Anyways, it's a minor gripe, but I always expect the Comment button on people's profiles to be under said comment, and keep nearly hitting Report by accident. It'd be nice if the Report and Comment buttons were switched around.

That sounds more like a forum software issue and not something I can solve... I'll search the xenforo support forums and see what I can find.

I'm not going to do that, sorry. All the moderation tools are inserted beside the report button and ir would mean moving them, which is a bigger task than I want to undertake for something that you'll get used to anyway with time - Warn and Ban are right beside report, and I don't think I want a sudden rash of banned users because of mod mistakes! :p

You'll just have to get used to it... sorry.

Hehe

what about the location of the edit. can't that be placed with the other related post action?

I also find the "insert quotes..." button location somewhat annoying. I think it belongs to the right, like in the more options screen. with maybe a little gap between the reply button and the rest.

And also move the insert quote in the more options screen.

like so

Paste Failed Numerous times see next post

And I am going to-re-complain about the tiny edit screen in the more options. Feels like I'm tweeting on twitter

Y'know looking at some of the posts people are creating, maybe you should lower it back down to 10,000.

Maybe even 5,000.

Despite everything, I'd rather have it kept at 20000. The Jam season is coming, and long posts may be necessary to contain the Jam rules, prizes lists etc. (doubleposting is technically an option, but better avoided when possible). Plus, I think voters who would like to write more than 140 characters about each Jam entry will like such an option, too.

(not you, @nvrogers, last time your reviews devoured the subsequent post even with the whooping character limit of over 60k and only 40 entries to review; guess in such case making reviews external is necessary ^^')

I use to be able to search about a problem with GML coding I was having on google.com and results would show from the old forum, but when I do it now no results come from this forum or the old one. Do you know why? It was a really easy way to find answers to problems I was having.

Nope that is utterly broken as I stated numerous times (my posts deleted before the new forum went live). You can't google search the old forum anymore. which ultimately made the whole process of achieving the site useless. the only result you get are from content in user profiles.

Google indexes IPB forums through a programmatic login.

I'm guessing now that [most] logins are disabled on the old GMC, the Google member can't login and therefore can't properly index the old GMC forums.

I'm not sure how the GMC admin's limited the logins, but if they want the old GMC to be searchable, they need to investigate re-enabling the search engine member accounts ability to login.

Can I just say, just for the record, I didn't want to be one of those people but I am. The log in process is ridiculous. Thank the holy lords of Google for their autofill. I've never used a special character in my password in my life.

My password isn't this strong for Paypal, eBay, Steam, Hotmail or Skype, all of which I value considerably higher than my account on the GMC since their hijacking can have serious repercussions on my actual person. Now I understand that YoYoGames has no intention of budging in this regard but I felt it necessary to mention that this is an obscure internet forum in which no real hacker is going to pay any real attention to, it holds no information about my bank, my finances or any of my many nudes. The old GMC got hacked a few times and what they managed to get was passwords to an obscure internet forum that expired as soon as the members were alerted. Whoop-whoop, my old password to the GMC was ZachBraffLaugh254 and you can have that for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I don't understand the extreme paranoia being played here unless YoYoGames is planning to link the forums with the actual purchasing information for Game Maker Studio 2. I know that nobody is planning to loosen this, all I'm asking for is for somebody to explain to me what is on this forum that needs a higher grade of protection than any of my other accounts on any of the other sites I have much looser security on.

Perhaps it has something to do with the extreme level of vitriolic hatred and ridicule, and even threats of legal action, flung at YoYoGames after the GMC was hacked.

Just a guess...

Welcome to the anonymous public. Everybody deals with it. Most people don't deal with it by enforcing it's members to use the DaVinci code to encrypt their files though, you know, since the old GMC was hacked from the system side and not some guy visiting Mystic Meg and just guessing thousands of weak passwords.

It seems like it would make more sense to make the site more secure rather than force people to use "stronger" passwords, but that's just my opinion...

I'm with you on this... some of the more pressing concerns were about the forum firmware, or even things having to do with the server machine itself; enforcing stricter passwords just wouldn't help with that.

Can we stop with the crap about passwords? This has been explained and won't change. Playtech made it a condition for having the forums open. You want less restrictions? Then fine, but you won't have a GMC then... It's not going to change no matter how much one or two users dislike it.

No. I scanned the topic for a reason before I posted and all you've done is shut down these complaints twice without revealing any kind of reason behind it. As you can see from the replies below my post, even one of your own moderators seemed confused about who actually pulled that decision through. Your only response I could find so far is "this isn't negotiable" which is about as helpful as you just ignoring the concerns entirely.

I agree that this is crap, but if you want us to swallow crap you've got to tell us why we're swallowing crap. I'm not asking you to change this feature, you've made it clear that you have no intention to change this feature, I want to know why the feature was changed in the first place. My biggest concern here is that plans are in motion to merge our accounts on the forum with our purchasing information or keys for Studio 2. You've told us this was a condition from Playtech but is there anything else you can tell us about this decision? Did they give any reason behind this condition that you can elaborate for us?

Again, my biggest concern here is that this doesn't seem like the kind of user end security I'd expect to see on a site with no real information on it from the user side. So if there is any other information you can give us here then I would greatly appreciate that. If you tell me that this entire decision is just because the CEO of Playtech is a security nutcase warding off aliens with his tinfoil hat then I will accept that but this is a legitimate customer concern and as a customer I would appreciate it if that concern got a legitimate response that wasn't a "shut up".

Problem is Nocturne has too much inside info and a large global spread on the discussion and some of it, in the case of the security reasons behind the password, it has been mentioned on the forum a few times. The reason is PlayTech security people making the decision and so the forum admins can't override that decision. So you can call people zelots all you want, the decision is made and not over-turnable.

When you upload a gif to imgur, it actually turns into a gifv, which can't be played here as an image. Could we possibly have imgur gifvs be embedded as normal gifs instead of
? I don't know if this is an issue so much as a request, since again, gifvs aren't technically images.

I quoted your post, clicked your image, and clicked the "Image" button, hit Backspace once, and submitted. Presto, it works. I ..... don't see the problem?
