The "News not worth its own thread" thread

[Detective Osprey]

I've re-added the first batch of country emoticons, from A to G: 

 

I also added a few more type-ins for countries that are known by multiple names; for example, will admit the type-ins "cape-verde" and "cabo-verde"  .

These are cool, thanks!

I've fixed the superscript and subscript tags, since I just discovered that those weren't working properly.

Nice will have to wait, seems the Netherlands flag is not yet included.

Wait no more ! I've added all of the countries from H to P:

Now, the last of the country flags have been added !



There are still a few sets of flag emoticons to add (US states, Canadian provinces, territories, and a bunch of miscellaneous flags), but those will come over the next couple of days

[Kyng]

The US states and Canadian provinces/territories have been re-added !



Now, you can use the two-letter postal abbreviations as your codes, instead of typing the names out in full. 

Also, because the state of Georgia shares its name with a country (which already has its own flag emoticon), its emoticon code is "georgia-us" (although, alternatively, you can just use "ga" ).

[Kyng]

And, at last, I've re-added the remaining flags. The last bunch include territories (of various countries) and sports flags (e.g. the West Indies cricket flag), as well as a few miscellaneous flags (e.g. the Antarctic flags), and, last but not least, our very own TCH flag!

The 'Ask Me' threads have been made viewable to members only. 

Crooked Crow pointed out to me that a lot of the bots had been congregating in that section (for some reason), and I decided it was best if the more 'personal' content in that part of the board didn't get indexed on search engines.

(Would it be possible to have this extend to another section, for example if it's not already there, the Gaming Showcase one?)

[Kyng]

Personally, I don't think it's really necessary to make the Gaming Showcase members-only.

People's gameplay stories aren't typically 'personal information' in the way that the content of their Ask Me threads is. Besides, there will be stuff in there that I want to show off to the public (for example, my circle city).

I increased the size limit for uploaded avatars to 50kB. 

(Previously, it was 25kB. I decided this was too stingy: it's actually less than on ZetaBoards, where it was 35kB!)
