Re: Latest Comments doesn't show enough...
I prefer system > game title > name > comment

System and game title being links to those places. Just the game title is not enough as the same game/title exist for different systems, so it needs the system mentioned as well.

Re: Latest Comments doesn't show enough...
Under "Latest Comments", it's not enough to just have the user's name followed by their comment. There really need to be the name/path of the game/whatever they are commenting on as well. At the moment you have to click on them to see thing they are commenting on, that's not fun IMO.

Now it's like:

Latest Comments

Ironclaw: Great game, but needs more ketchup.

Should be more like:

Ironclaw commented on 'Downloads Home > PC > Wolfenstein 3D': Great game, but needs more ketchup.

or maybe:

'Downloads Home > PC > Wolfenstein 3D': Ironclaw: Great game, but needs more ketchup.

Right, I got Admin status. That was only so I can fix/repair the description of my movies myself. I'm not doing anything "adminy" for the site Pfft

When a movie has been uploaded, the text will have all the errors I mentioned in my first post, those can manually be fixed so they look right on the site, as the transfer from upload to display is what breaks it. But, I'm only doing it for MY movies Cool

It has bugged me from the beginning. Nice to finally see someone else mention it.

Re: Regarding " ' &, etc turning into crap
I was just trying to be grammatically correct.

I didn't know that would be my own downfall.

I wanted to reply in the Shoutbox but it's worse than Twitter as you are not allowed to use that many characters, so I post it here instead.

afaik special characters like ' are common in english so you are asking me to make grammar mistakes Pfft

Same thing with quotes, apostrophes, and "&", could be more.

They turn into:

" =
' =
& =

Now imagine my standard descriptions for my movies, I usually type A LOT, using TONS of quotes and apostrophes. This makes the entire thing hard to read and ugly as f#ck.

Then we have the smileys, which I also like to use. The ": )" I have in my texts turns into "Smile", which becomes "SMILE" on YouTube as the uploader just copy and paste this broken text from WoL.

Just for fun, a demonstration text sample:

I upload this one with my longplay:

Quote

I've used shortcuts in my last 4 adventure longplays now (pressing "O" instead of "Open" ). I wonder what you guys think - is that OK? Or do you prefer that I press the worded buttons instead? For me it's easier and faster to use the shortcuts. I could even press the number keys to select the questions/answers if wanted. I guess in most point-and-click adventure games you have to do it with the mouse, but not in these LucasArts/Lucasfilm games (so far anyway). So, if I do more of those games and don't hear any complaints, I'll keep using the shortcuts : )


This is how it's displayed on this site:

And it's the same on YouTube but the smileys becomes words instead. It even adds extra smileys where there shouldn't be any. (one simple fix could be to just disable smileys, but only in video descriptions of course, not the forums...)

This adds even more problems, because I sometimes type so much I reach the character limit on YouTube, so the descriptions I add to my movies on this site does fit on YouTube (as I use the same ones on my own channel), but not after all the " ' & : P has become SOOOO much longer.

Yeah yeah, it is what it is, I just hope it will be fixed sometime, as it's been like this from the beginning.

Re: FIXED: There's a problem with the Activation Link in the email after registration
Hello there, I hope I'm posting in the right place since I'm brand new here.

If I am posting in the right place, then great. If not please direct me elsewhere. Thanks!

Anyway, I wanted you all to know that there's a problem with the activation link that's sent after registering.

Currently, it says:
[email protected]&code=5067047fae3656f489bdf7f0b11695ba27345e9d

It should say:
www.longplays.org/[email protected]&code=5067047fae3656f489bdf7f0b11695ba27345e9d

See, the one we get in our email is missing the / character between .org and register.

It was simple enough to figure out what was wrong when there was an error clicking on the link. I just manually added the "/" myself and it worked like a charm.

I just thought I'd bring that to your attention so when others register they won't run into the same problem as I had.

Thanks guys/gals! Smile
