After reading through the feedback provided for the new commenting system I have released an update to the system that should hopefully satisfy the worries expressed with the new system while still providing a mini-forum ability to those uploaders who are looking for some better and more organised feedback on their files.
I have brought back the old "Comments" tab on files while adding a new tab to the file pages called "Discussions". All simple comments and feedback can be directed to the "Comments" tab as before while the mini-forum discussion area can be used for more precise and topical discussion should it be necessary.
The discussion area can be disabled in your file attributes without affecting the commenting in the "Comments" thread. The aim was to please those authors who wanted a consolidated location for all posts as well as those authors who liked to split discussion in to different threads.
The file management page has been updated to accommodate this change. The total number of comments in the "Comments" tab makes a return, as well as a new attribute that shows how many discussion topics there are for each file.
Also worth a mention, posts made by the uploader of the file will now be highlighted by a gold border so users can easily pick out their posts.
i know i sound like an idiot but how do i use the attributes? Before this update i had over 100 pages (i dont know the exactly number) with more or less adult content (from sexy bikini to sex mods) and now when i klick on "adult files only" get 40 pages. What happend to the other pages??
And whats the difference between "Only adult files", "Nudity" and "Skimpy or "sexy content??
Sorry, but I think the "Comments"-tab should be integrated into the Discussions-tab. Its just not helpful when peeps use the comments tab for questions and help-requests. Some mods have over hundreds of entries in the comments-tab... what a mess! =)
I'm wondering why more people haven't figure out how to import mods from TES Oblivion yet...I mean, they really can't all be that different. I lack the capabilities to do so, but I am able to fool around with the meshes in NIFScope and have tried to export them as playable meshes, but with no success. I'm not really an animator, but I have a pretty good idea as to how it works, and it shouldn't be too big of trouble to do some minor changes to and from each game...
It's funny you mention that, I downloaded Firefox and No-Script soon after posting. Thanks for the good advice nonetheless.
I'd like to note that anyone who picks up a nasty virus on here and CAN'T use Malwarebytes merely has to rename the Malwarebytes executable (mbam.exe) to something else BEFORE the virus deletes the exe. Install Malwarebytes while keeping explorer open (in the proper directory), and as soon as you see the exe pop up immediately rename it to something (anything else). If you can do it before the virus deletes it (10 or 15 second window) you'll have circumvented the program which deletes the exe and thus prevents you from using the program.
If you already have Malwarebytes, I strongly suggest you rename the exe. That way you'll prevent the issue from ever coming up.
Good show, sir! The discussion tab is an excellent addition. And so is the highlighting of the mod author.
If there's anything I'd like to see changed, it would be the readme upload. Could you implement rich text format for this? I prefer to use the readme for changelog rather than readme, since I tend to make rather large readme's.
(In response to expressfreely; I have yet to find a single virus downloading anything here. Might I suggest Firefox and it's multitude of add-ons for your needs? No-script is especially useful.)
yup, the highlighted comments rock... "> im using the discussion for a FAQ now... i can even pin it wohooo! i nearly feel like a moderator now ">
anyway can we get the option to display an info window everytime someone downloads a mod? something like:
"plz read the FAQ in the discussion section of this mod before you post questions or bugs - plz hit -yes, i will- or -no, i wont-" and only people that confirm can actually post comments, maybe even a check if they actually read it, like a disclaimer or somin? im getting tired of quoting my description or the FAQ :/
