New theme: Rift

[Todlichebujoku]

There should be a function, where you can remove old threads from the "view your posts" section. would be useful to trim it down to only the recent stuff you care about.

Or, perhaps, a separate page where you can add threads you want to track.

We could even call it a "bookmarks" page.

Hmm, so is Rift forumside at all?

For players that use the sidebar, that's Rift-like on the forums, but that's still gameside displaying.

Of course, I use the top nav bar, so I can't even remember what that looks like next to the forum.

Hm, so Rift isn't really forum.
Topbar is great, makes post looks shorter and encourages longer IC posts

Hi. So I had a small possible request-suggestion. Small, very small. Sorry if it is asking of too much. I don't know of codes so I don't know if this is a lot of work. Sorry if it is, especially since it will only lead to a very tiny change.

I thought it might be nice if the banners had the name of the banners (ex. Vista, Hostile Elements, Custom #1, so on) on them somewhere, doesn't have to be large, as they rotate. Perhaps only on "your" own page in case y'all don't want it to ruin possible surprises for others who stumble on another's page and see a banner unknown to him/her. I thought it may of make it easier for people to see what accomplishment a specific banner celebrates (or whatever the corresponding terms are for a banner signaling something "negative"). Currently, going straight to the "Choose Banner" page to look through and track down a specific banner can be of slow, as sometimes (perhaps this is for me only) the banners take more than a few seconds to load even after I scroll down to them. If people of know the name for the banner, they could use the word search thing on their browser to more quickly find the banners. Sorry for the bother, I know it is a minor suggestions. I just thought it could be a nice touch and hoped it would be one not hard to do. Thanks for reading, y'all.

I agree, this would be really helpful. It's really annoying seeing a banner go by and thinking "woah, when did I get that?" and then scrolling endlessly looking for it.

There is a way to do this already, though it is a bit complex. If it's the only way, though, it might be worth it. (Note: It probably won't work on mobile devices, as their browsers usually have less features than desktop browsers.)
1. Right-click on the banner while it's being displayed. Select "View Image" or similar. (In Firefox, the option is "View Background Image".) You should see just the full-size banner in your browser.
2. Look at the URL and copy the short code at the end. (Example: http://www.nationstates.net/images/banners/l36.jpg)
3. Insert that code into this URL:

Code: Select all

http://nationstates.net/page=banners#banner_<INSERT CODE HERE>

4. Go to the URL from step 3. You will, obviously, land on your banners page. Click the refresh button, and your browser will automatically scroll to the banner you are looking for.

These steps really boil down to two things: getting the banner's code from the server's banner directory, and plugging that code into your banners page to tell your browser where on the page to go to.

Aha. Yeah, that does work; I guess if I'm really curious, I can do this. Thanks for showing me. But still annoying if it goes past too fast or something; would be nice to have a simpler way.

Yep. But, again, if it's the only way, it might be worth it.
