  1. I made something a few days ago which was in the back of my mind for structuring character boards threads and what content you may want in the board/threads. This is just a rough put together I had and wasn't sure if it could be useful/helpful or some point of discussion as I haven't seen this thread active as much as the others. I guess what I've put as [Pin] are core threads all boards may need want. Key: - Thread + Thread contents broken down = Guess some notes (whatever you want to go inside each section) NOTE: Wasn't sure if Q&As could go inside a beginner/gameplay guide or General. You're pick really. Character Board: - [Pin] Gameplay/Beginner Guide + What to Learn First + Basics = Could be paired with What to Learn First you get the idea. + Further Details - [Pin] Gameplay/General Discussion and Q&As + Notes/News/Latest info (Ver. specific info/changes) + Character Bio + Breakdown/contents of the thread + Gameplay Summary + Move List + Tips/Useful links - [Pin] Combo/Mix Up Discussion + Notes/Latest Info + Notation Guide + CMVs + Combos + Mix Up/Pressure??? = Wasn't sure if people would want such discussion in the same thread? - [Pin] Video and Analysis + Notes/Info/Rules + Breakdown/contents + CMVs (again?) = May be show CMVs here also as they can be discussed? + Vs. complied + list of discussed videos??? = A section for quick linking to posts that offer their analysis for a particular match/CMV? - [Community] Video + Critique + Notes/Info (Outlines/Rules) = Unpinned thread for western players to get some peer analysis on how they are playing? - [Community] Introductory and Netplay (PSN/XBL) + Ease in people with welcome = May be explain some ground rules I dunno. You're choice. + point what's the best things to check and Explain the resouces available to them. = We have a beginner guide, wiki etc. + Netplay/Player info = List of players who play this character e.g (Username, PSN/XBL, may be times available/region)

    I'm just wondering if Shtkn couldn't find the time to regularly update the links. Then I feel tagged threads would be the next step to check for what has and hasn't been made within this board. (Tagging threads isn't mandatory but I feel it would be helpful in the near future) Btw I'm deleting the Rachel Vs. Noel Thread that I made (this one http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/11490-rachel-vs-noel/ ) as we already have LunaKage's to work with EDIT: deleted the duplicate thread I made. I'm not sure how to add/remove links from the drop down menus in the OP? So the link for Rachel Vs. Noel side of the drop down menus will need to be checked over again.

    In your general view you should be able to edit what's in what is now known as the spoiler box (the eye icon on post toolbar options). If you're thinking of drop down boxes from last version of DL. Since the update they're gone and the content inside them sadly ;__; The spoiler box is the new way of hiding branches of content now. Just highlight the section of text and click the eye icon to make it the new hide/show option I'm finding editing large content posts are difficult this ver. of DL. 5-7 second delays to wait before you can select a line and begin typing.

    I don't know about signatures put in posts I find if you try to add an emote through the Emoticon Tool option you can end up with errors. Try and type it out manually like : C A : That above but typed without spaces will give you Carl's Hat. Problem is you have to memorise them all to get what you want to avoid an error.

    My bad. I tried going through all the pages to check for duplicates and made a list of what I thought was already made. Apologies I missed Noel there. I knew Ragan, Celica, Hibiki and Lambda already existed though ;__; EDIT: (Shall I remove my thread and mention it here that the dropdown menu function will need it's link fixed?) I want to promote Tagging threads as it will help others (and us) see if anything was made before hand using a Tagged Content Search. Because we're going to end up in a situation where people will be searching through every page (currently on 10 pages) trying to make a hand written list of what's already present/made and what isn't.

    Can you add notes to videos? Like "x18 matches in a row" or "incomplete match"? Is there anything to make notes to give the user further information before they click on links? I tend to find when editing posts I can't seem to click on anything at times unless I go into my "source" option and back out again and then it allows me to click wherever I want. I believe I'm also getting error messages when I click "Save" for editing a post after I've opened another tab on the browser. It seems to cause some sort of problem meaning I have to close everything down and start from scratch without opening other tabs in the editing process :/

    I guess I'll throw in the Rachel Vs. Naoto Kurogane thread for future purposes like Nine as well. http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/11562-rachel-vs-naoto-kurogane-bbcf/

    I think it would be an idea to start from scratch here otherwise information could get mashed up and/or lost in the process of thread sharing possibly. Things will transition well going into CF though I'm sure and this will become the norm in time I'm going to Tag my Rachel Vs. Character threads so people can search to see if a thread already exists and before a Duplicate thread is made. It will also make it easier for users in general to find what they are looking for through a Tag Search I guess.

    My bad. I can't seem to figure out how to create info boxes through the usual method/interface yet and I don't know if collapse boxes can be created on this version of DustLoop? I'll think of another way to present video threads

    The simplest way I've found to add videos without problems cropping up on me is to do them one at a time. It's slower but it works for me Clink the "Link" option in the Post Tool Bar and do it that way. For just adding links and adding/attaching text to a link. Also I don't feel it's feasible to go through every old link in the CP Video Thread (being the example in my mind) and fix them by hand. It would take too long so anything already obtained and added into the various character boards should be sorted within those boards (I believe that would be the best way to tackle it). It's going to take me a while to sort out all backed up links I had for my video thread as well. I think Google Cache as well doesn't go back to the previous version of DL now so it may be harder to find archived links. I'm not fully sure of other ways to dig up currently lost video links for those struggling to get that lost information though? :/ EDIT: Sorry for all the text. Hope this helps. I figured out how people can create info boxes on this version of DL while sorting out my own video thread. I can make a picture guide if needed? 1. Go into "Source" and Copy and Paste what I've put below: (You can replace the ZZZZZ's, it's just to show where you need to type between the > and < symbols to title your info box) <div style="padding: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(147, 0, 0); border-image: none; width: auto;"><div style="padding: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(61, 61, 61); border-image: none;"><b>ZZZZZ YOU CAN TYPE HERE ZZZZZ</b></div></div><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p> 2. Go back to into normal view and hang your mouse over the Line where you will then see a Red Line appear with a Red Box with an arrow. Click that box. 3. Type away in the fresh field to work inside and you're info box is ready to go.

    Generally finding the new forum so far horrible on the eyes mainly, also I can't seem to feel/see a clear gap between post and signatures atm. I understand you're still sorting things out here and there but this is how I'm feeling atm. Mainly it's too bright lol. Anyway I wanted to pop on here and wonder if it's possible to get Post Numbers back? I found in the past having the ability to reference a Post like "Post #1247" useful as a guideline/pointer mainly for video threads for showing what posts have been looked at, what needs to be checked for more video content/links etc.

    Always keep back ups when anything like this forum up date goes ahead. Best to be safe than sorry I've also got back ups from the stuff that are not even my threads just in case. Also all Links that are present on DL link to Blank Page so bye bye to finding some of the older combo videos and matches in the archives from CT and CS ;_;
  15. You are correct. It doesn't solve the problem, it's only a means to an end (Btw I apologise for my long posts but I find it difficult to explain things in my head, I'm just throwing ideas out and my post is also very messy ;_; ) I'm understanding the problem some more now but don't feel there is an exact solution to solve this I see a lot of attention on, this problem is only leading everyone in circles. We could just be-rid ourselves of the match up threads altogether and instead just have the odd discussion crop up in your characters general discussion thread if you wish to discuss a match up. If it crops up again people who were in previous conversations can explain or link to prior posts again. I guess you could have only one of each match up thread somewhere on the forum then (in a new sub board or something). There will be a lot of threads in that one area though, but you'll get what you want for discussing just one match up and for all possibilities. - Doesn't sound efficient/effective scrolling through pages to find your match up on page 3 of 6 though. There is another idea but it will cause havoc lol. Have only one thread then. Everyone uses it for all characters and I guess you'll have to rely on Mods to review the board regularly and then edit the OP/Main Post adding details for each section as a combined effort. -Problem then is that they'll have more work on their plate, info is all combined in one area and will needed to be sifted through and placed into a super post structure. It won't be efficient and problems will always happen. I have another idea in mind which is long winded and probably not worth explaining. I'm not very good at wording things anyway, I'm better with real life examples/physical material or speech even lol. But something else has cropped into my mind while posting all this gibberish in my head haha. - Look at our existing model and build upon it. We could move all the match videos by character into those currently existing match up threads and then threads won't be unread/forgotten/un-posted in. You could also merge that match analysis idea SKD used in his Izayoi video thread to make the match up threads more productive, effective and efficient.
  16. Excuse my lack in digging for any prior info, I'm just skimming and wanted to throw in an idea that may or may not have been suggested already? - 1 Thread in your character board. - The thread can be titled just "Match Ups". - The thread would be where players of different characters swing by (visit) and explain/post how they deal with your character and also their thoughts on the character they play regarding weakness and stuff that goes against them... ? Info can be discussed on that thread between users of all characters and info can be taken and posted to other boards' similar thread if need be. - Key points are taken and written up into one main post/OP broken up into character sections like "Vs so and so"... Then again having one person try and maintain all the info flying about would be an arduous task so really a wiki approach would be better in that respect? Tried to make a rush example below anyway. Thread creators could communicate how they can share similar combined info may be. [info=Match Ups OP/Main Post] - Vs Ragna: What he can do: What we can do: Summary if desired/needed: - Vs Noel etc. - So on [/info] Plus I don't think I explained my thoughts well because of rushing my posts. Just an idea to reduce number of threads across the forum, plus I think my idea may be far fetched.

    Rachel Video Thread main match up links compiled together for each character has gone missing and there is no data present in the post it used to be in. Same issues are with the combo thread and I'm just guessing tables work different again. Anyway, good job I kept a back up.

    Q&A about Joystick Building, Parts, and Purchasing

    Sorry to trouble you all, I'm not one to play stick but I have just obtained one. That being the BBCPE stick by Hori and the problem I have is not the stick itself but the fact I can't find the Bonus Code that was included with it. Just thought someone here might be able to help me lol. It's my first Stick but I'm not worried about types of these things right now. Mostly got it for BB collection purposes as I've always played with Pad generally. Apologies for the inconvenience bringing up where to find such an issue as to trying to find a code may be but I'm lost haha. EDIT: Think I've found it now, no worries.
