I think that's actually happened to me before, if I refresh the page but haven't traveled anywhere in ten minutes or more.

You probably weren't subscribed to the forum or topic you were quoted in. You only get reply notifications where you are subscribed.

Did you know?
Monthly topics are scheduled to come out at the beginning of that month, as opposed to the end of the previous month

Um, it's November now...

I've been automatically subscribed to a topic once I replied on the thread.

It's coming in a few hours. It's not even 7 AM in your timezone (which makes me wonder how you even could make a post at 10:35 CET when you're in EST). Don't bug about something that's not even due already.

The episode and Gfx pack for this month weren't added to their respective pages...

As with last month, it takes time for these things to happen. Updating the site is not as easy as you think, and the sysadmin isn't paid to do this.

Couldn't we just have the Worlds/GFX pages update automatically? I don't know if the site software allows this (I have almost no experience in coding, so this is just an idea), but I'd imagine it being pretty simple, like having it take the images and text featured in the month of thread and make a new entry in the Worlds/GFX page.

I'm pretty sure the three admins can manage the pages through the ACP.

I'm pretty sure there are four admins here. You have a point though.

I highly doubt that the whole site runs on phpbb. It could be, but it's much more likely that only the forum is phpbb, and the rest of the site is either custom or written in another framework that only shadow yoshi has access to manage.

If it weren't and the other admins did have access, though, then adding a new section may still be harder than you think. I doubt that they're added solely with UI, they probably have to work with raw HTML to get the task done.

It's not a huge ordeal, but something that you wouldn't be able to do right after writing the announcement thread.

Something that should be fairly easy is to remove the site wiki link in the header. It can't be that hard to do. And as far as I'm concerned there is no intention of working on it anymore.

The Worlds, Graphics pages etc. cannot be managed by us admins, as they aren't part of the forums. Only Joey can manage them by means of managing the website itself.

Anyone else having problems with the browser return buttons being really laggy, or is it just me?

I think it might be you... I don't know, the return button works without lag for me..

Could be you? your browser might not be storig page content in its cache, if you mean the previous page button.

Snessy the duck · Postby **Snessy the duck** » Sun Nov 05, 2017 9:36 am

I tried clearing the cache, hopefully that fixes the problem. Also, I did mean the previous page button.

Edit: Nope, it's still kinda wonky. It's weird though, it's never been like this before, and it only seems to be happening on this site, and I have no idea what's causing it. I'm also using Google Chrome on Windows 10, if that's important.

Zha Hong Lang · Postby **Zha Hong Lang** » Sun Nov 05, 2017 1:30 pm

Well, clearing your cache and whether or not websites are stored in your cache in the first place are two different things. But perhaps it's a different problem, try seeing if it happens in another browser.

This is probably a phpBB thing. What is wrong with private messages being notifications? If you want a notification upon replying to your topic then subscribe to your topic or tick the Notify me when a reply is posted.
