Now they just use shoutbox for it most of the time and keep forums clean. You can edit your homepage or links to direct you into forums without looking at front page. If you are that sensitive.

Couldn't say better than this. :clap:

Pls y u always making me cry????? Why?? :sniff:

Is it possible to make it so that putting someone on your forum ignore list (foe) makes him invisible to you in the shoutbox? Reading that shit is cancer. Would still be exposed without first logging in however.

Maybe an option to hide the shoutbox (even as a guest)?

Whom is forcing who to read everything everywhere ? I agree elementsfury was annoying since he spammed shoutbox AND forums with his below_child level stuff. Like Somnus does now. So he had some timeout. Other than that shoutbox is ok to ignore.

Shoutbox is much wow. Plees no changie. Although a complete ignore option would be nice, but also complicated to implement I assume.

Stick insect is on time out in a jar.

I don't want to hear the news either but it's almost impossible to avoid them unless you live self-sufficiently in a secluded forest with no internet.

In the old forums stupid shitposting was neatly contained in the off-topic section that you could easily ignore. On these new forums ignoring shoutbox means bookmarking the index, which means you lose the rather nifty last posts feature of the portal.

I will look into adding ignore feature to the shoutbox. Probably more features are needed also, initially shoutbox was made super simple just to see how well could the site support it.

In the meantime you can download Greasemonkey or a similar JavaScript tool and use the following code:

Code: Select all

$("#page-body div.portal div.midcol div[class='forumbg module module-shoutbox']").remove ();

I didnt knew where to put this because it's an overall suggestion idea that can help improve MedianXL and not just a forum suggestion.
So, what is it? I've read questions like ''how to host a server'' (even if they have to pay for it), ''who wants to team up'' (like we did in ''The Swarm'') etc. So, people obviously wants to help improve MedianXL in many ways, but they dont really know how to help.

I've been wondering if it's possible to make a ''Help improve MedianXL'' tab so people for example can know how to help.
Are you mad, right? Just think about it, what if someone with knowledge in ''X'' modding thing or ''programming language'' wants to help for free? or what if someone wants to host a server for people in their country? That ''help improve median'' button (something like the donation button) would be a good option.

Maybe I'm just wrong, but maybe not.
