deleted all the off-topic crap; if you want to complain about something just start a new thread

I hate this crappy editing system.

I quote: "It takes 20 years to edit a post... having to log into another website just to edit something, pretty gay. "

edit: f*** this crappy editing system, again

wouldn't be qgl with all these design choices :P its to keep the lazy out imo.

3 posts grants you the right to complain.

I hate the way people from Wynnum are allowed to sign on here still. Have we learned nothing ?

That's already on the TODO list to be fixed; its low priority

do you have a high priority list?

high priority are changes affecting spoot posting. thats about it though...

in before lock! just dont f*** up your original post and you dont need to worry. thats what i do :P

What is wrong with the editing system?

Kat, you know what a decent forum looks like since you whore as many as you can and have seen what a proper editing box looks like, and it's not another page in which you occasionally have to sign into again. The thread starter has a valid complaint imo.

post editing is actually something I'm thinking about ditching entirely; perhaps changing to the digg system of giving you only 60 seconds or whatever to edit to correct typos and stuff

I thought ausforums was changing... you know, to something a bit more modern. How long has the AGN system been around? I know everyone's very proud of how far it has come, but by today's standards it's pretty pox. You could have a shiny new flexible system developed fairly quickly on an opensource framework or highly customisable cms.

While I understand about how gay it is to login to edit...
People bringing up 'looks' and age are stupid.

If this was like all the new 'flashy' forums it would be just as gay as them.

just lock new registrations... there is already too many noobs that find entering a username n pwerd a 2nd time takes them 20 years.

You're stupid.
A 'Flashy new' forum would be gay.

I thought that was fairly clear. I underestimated just how strong the former is.

I wasn't proposing anything flashy, or potentially gay. It could look exactly the same, it just won't be annoying and slow. The HTML output is evidence that it wasn't written with modern standards in mind.

But QGL is QGL and that is how it works on QGL. Plus, it is merely two clicks away "edit" "login". Save your passwords and you won't have an issue.

It is hardly 'complaint worthy'.

Soft cocks

5 years ago when the Internet consisted of Adam Sandler mp3s and porn maybe that would be the case, but now there are a lot of sites people go to and have come to expect something from the interface and workflow of a forum. People are smarter and know you've done something wrong, they understand that when they've logged in to a site they shouldn't have to authenticate again - especially when the authentication screen looks completely different from the website.

Well the OP has three posts to their name. Just how much f***ing up can they have done in three posts to get annoyed by the editing system so much they feel the need to complain?!?!?!

It could look exactly the same, it just won't be annoying and slow.

What's slow about it? It's generally pretty fast for me

Hey, leave me out of this. This is between all of you, and the editing system

sifnt autofill that s***.
takes me like 2 seconds to edit.
noobs

also I agree with reload, and not just cuz he has a hot avatar

Have the guts to complain on your own account, fag boy.

He's in Wynnum, exis and rev evil are the only people I know that live in Wynnum.

Besides me of course!

I don't live in Wynnum, I just thought it would be cool to use that location.

8-(

Also, don't mess with the forums because they are awesome as it is. QGL has the best color scheme out of most of the ones I've been to and that edit thingy is hardly worth whinging about. Takes like a couple of secs to go from the edit screen back to here.

If you are pissed off, then you'll hate this site:

http://web.archive.org/web/19991104112932/http://qgl.org/

PMSL.....one thing that really pisses me about users, is that they don't understand that they are doing exactly what the designers have told them to do.

The designers of QGL have designed the editing facilities that way for a reason, so get over it. If they decide to change it so that you have to stand on your fark'n head to edit your posts, then that is what you will do if you want to continue using the site. Otherwise, fark off. (Says me, who always complains about peoples links...hahahaha....but then again....I'm the Bear!)

PS: Compose your posts in a word processor and then paste it into your thread. That way, if you can't spell, the puter will teach you. Those are the Bear Facts of the matter. ^_^

Ha an decent editing system?? What, next people will want 'content'.. fair moderation and some other ludicrous type stuff just because they've seen it on other forums..

id prefer lans over anything else.

I actually reall love the Ausgamers forums. i think they're fast, easily one of the most readable and functionable, and let you block sigs/avatars and don't use BBCode.

I'd be sadly disapointed if they switched to some thirdparty forum software.

The edit function is designed that way for multiple reasons i presume. One of which is to encourage you to spellcheck, read, and think about your posts before you hit the submit button.

Meh, I don't have a problem with it.

Normally I just hit enter or submit - whatever the button is - then click 'home' to go back to my home page and then click my link to QGL from my home page and I'm back there.

Takes all of a few seconds.

Best idea... Invision + Rego lock.

Deal.

who the hell spell checks? this is the internets for crying out loud.

srsly you c***s need to harden the f*** up and stop crying

hahaha so true. Who is so retarded that they struggle with the edit function!? Nine times out of ten I can edit a post quickly enough that it doesn't even put the edit tags on.

I've tried using other forums but they are all spammy as f*** and people have these oversized av's and sigs that are more often than not bigger than the posts. Keep it simple, stupid.

And srsly, did NO ONE complain about the search function?!

Probably most important to least imo.

- Search
- Edit function (one click and auto removal of edit details for multiple edits)
- Quote button

Apart from that I don't see any extra functionality that I would actually use.

QGL search is awesome, it gives me perfect results everything.

shad there is a quote button already - over to the right of the post box.

I second the search capabilities of this.

Also I like the look and feel of qgl.

Finally, I agree, this is the f***ing internet, who cares if you spell s*** right, so long as 'most' people can understand it :)

i thought trog fixed the search a month or so back? didn't it get updated so it now uses a google search on QGL only pages?

or was that a "to do".

i think qgl is an excellent forum, filled with quality posters

but i have extremely low standards when it comes to forums and posters

If it annoys you so much don't post berlin wall. Seriously what better thing have you got to do really, you're posting on an internet forum it's not like you're saving the world or anything, I'm sure you could spare a couple of seconds of your precious time.

P.S. I think Ausforums is fine as it is.

the thing i like about the qgl editing system is it encourages you to carefully re-read your posts and contemplate them before submitting. close to 70% of the time (higher since google indexing) this results in me moving on without posting, which goes a long way to improving the quality of discourse here and reducing spam.

but i have extremely low standards when it comes to forums and posters

And TV.

The edit function is designed that way for multiple reasons i presume.

Its not really "designed", it just sort of happened.

And srsly, did NO ONE complain about the search function?!

Reckon.

Good news on that front though; we have a new search system coming. It is f***ing awesome. You can test it here but it barely has anything indexed atm.

yes, thats a background image

Am I the only one who gets wood when Trog start nuking people !!

Only good post in this thread is the one about locking out new registrations.

PS: QGL is QGL, if you don't like it then go back to SA or OCAU.

or in spooks case, SAU

Anyone would think some of these guys PAY to get access to this place. Just f*** OFF if your not happy.

Well the OP has three posts to their name. Just how much f***ing up can they have done in three posts to get annoyed by the editing system so much they feel the need to complain?!?!?!

Quite obviously it is someone who already has an account!

Fark it, just pull down the forums and I'll get Nats to resurrect the old Soul Assassins forum. Now that was a quality (unmoderated) forum where you could post all kinds of inflammatory rhetoric and no-one complained. Things were much simpler then.

The forum does load slowly, there is a lot of table code that causes rendering delays.

slow? the forum loads in 1.437seconds

QGL is one of the fastest loading sites I know of, and I'm on dial-up.

yes, thats a background image

What is with you guys and this ugly f***ing background image though? It was barely cool when hypercolor shirts were...

slow? the forum loads in 1.437seconds

QGL is one of the fastest loading sites I know of, and I'm on dial-up.

Well I'm sorry but you guys are full of s***, I'm a developer and I can see it's slow, and I have an eye for these things.

The only way this page will load in 2 seconds is if the entire page is DOWNLOADED within those 2 seconds. If you download HALF A PAGE, on most sites you would see HALF A PAGE, on this website you DONT SEE ANYTHING.

If you're capped, once the forum posts load you have to wait another 3 minutes for the code of the "post reply" table to download.

yes!, i've noticed the same thing

I like that the forum take a couple of seconds to load. I get all moist and excited wondering what will be on the next page.

Teehee

well why don't you put your time into designing a new forum if it means to f***ing much to you, knob
