    Judging from your question, I presume something was changed rather than me going crazy?

    That's right. :D

    Sorry the gravedig, not sure what's going on behind the scenes but wanted to report that recently I have been experiencing problems in logging in. Basically it seems that when I try to log in on a machine from where I'm not already logged, I get an error. This happened for example when attempting to log in from work, I got locked out because of "wrong pwd". I was pretty sure I must have got the one at least once but ok… I just came on my own PC and found it not logged in (???!) and despite the user/pwd being saved and auto-filled by the browser… login failed! Had to reset and put my good old password, and it worked.

    It happened several times I must say.

    Also another weird bug with the post editor textbox: it seems I can't paste-in text/urls on Mapcore if I close the source tab (or navigate to another address). Not sure if is just MS Edge (I'm using this recently), but I thought was the browser's problem, but after trying to reproduce for MS (I tweeted to them) it turns out is a problem I experience only trying to paste in the post textbox (subject of a new topic is fine for example).

    Is anyone else experiencing these bugs?

    I didn't have any password problems once I did 1 reset. Also you would do good to switch to Firefox Quantum or Chrome. Edge may have a pretty facade but it is actual dog shit (no pun intended) even with webgl 2.0 on the rise. After a few hundred hours on each, I stuck with Firefox as (providing you have a decent DNS and WiFi service) it tended to load pages faster as well as having a more clean and practical asthetic. They are all becoming the same these days but Microsoft kinda ditched edge for a new Chromium based browser they are working on.

    I’m a web designer, I know :D I just rotate between the different browsers depending on what I’m doing and if I care of the session I have to resume. If one of the two good browsers has a session too big to load, that I don’t want to deal with in cleaning/going though the hassle of saving bookmarks etc, I just use the browser that doesn’t have any session to restore :D this can go on for months and at the moment I’m doing Edge.

    Anyway even if it was a browser specific problem, it’s good to find out and fix if possible ;)

    click on the dot/star left of the thread title. it jumps to the first unread post.

    Ohh, thank you.

    Pretty new to the forums myself.

    Something that has started to bug me recently. The lack of a reply to comment button was obviously intended to decrease the amount of people filling up topics and make them think before posting. However it is ineffective, and everytime someone posts on a topic the whole thing gets marked as unread and you have to scroll all the way down, hit last page, and then realise that it was a "thanks for your feedback" message written to someone else. The symbol reactions are decent and usually prevent people from posting "agreed" or "exactly" although sometimes I feel they don't represent the emotion I want to express (is this too deep?). If I were to suggest a rework of the comment system I would make brand new (standalone) comments create notifications and then allow for the user to comment on what someone says without quoting them and wasting space 99% of the time. If the comments were placed in an arrangement like reddits quoting would not be necessary as the indentations would indicate what was being replyed to. I do realize the fact that this is a forum and is not meant to have a high density of comments but I feel there is no good middle ground between reactions and quoting (to say thanks for example). Also what is up with being able to edit quotes? You can literally misquote people worse than Pope Urban II misquoted Jesus XD

    @Interfearance you can just tag ppl as I just did. Plus you don’t need to faff to get to last post, shortcut explainer literally two post up. There’s also a link to the right of a topic where it says when was last post, I use that.

    One thing that seems to be missing compared to other forums is the setting to view the latest post first.

    @blackdogyeah I was really about to delete my comment. Throughout the week I learned a lot more about the site's system. However, the notifications still have flaws. If you follow someone to see their posts you are shown a notification every time they react (is there a way to change this?). Also the actual creator of the thread is surreptitious compared to the last commenter in the list view. I don't really see the rationale in this as opposed to badges with numbers for unread replies like the bell. Their pfp takes up a good space on mobile formats. Rest of what I said in the last post was really stupid when I reflect on it. I am still learning. When I first came to mapcore I asked people for feedback through messages cuz I thought the community was like 100 people ?

    No, from what I can see in the notification settings you can only receive notifications for those you follow, or you don’t, no further granularity.

    Our community managers can try ask for changes but keep in mind that, as a software, this forum is developed and maintained by people not related to mapcore

    Any chance that a diff tool like TwentyTwenty could be added to the site?

    It would be really nice way to show off the changes to your levels while you are working on them.

    The CS GO Team uses the same plugin when releasing a blog post about new maps, like Inferno or Dust II.

    Great idea. I wonder if @Thrik could make that happen?

    Hey, sorry to dig up this topic but I noticed two things recently:

    • the embedded youtube videos don't play - they start to load and then return an error
    • Some posts I've done don't seem to post - I mean I press submit and the post box doesn't refresh/empty, so it looks like nothing has been posted. I thought this was due to some network hiccup as I was on my phone the other day (and posted x3 times the same comment), but just happened on the desktop as well

    this has happened for me with Firefox (mobile is iPhone on Safari), not sure if is a browser problem or indeed just a random network issue, thought I'd bring it up in case others have seen similar glitches.

    I don’t have any of these issues. Do others?
