Just noticed the padlock symbol for locked threads. Looks nice! Thank you wonderful admins!

Yes we have 2 new features courtesy of @Tarawen - one is the padlocks and the other is a little dropdown for post options instead of having them all squeezed into the bar. We're hoping this helps for smaller-screen users (aka phone ppl) - feedback is encouraged!
Especially let us know if the dropdown doesn't work at all for you (i.e. if you click the little gear thingy and no menu pops up) -- we weren't able to test this on every browser/OS combo so it's possible there's some wonky stuff going on that we need to sort out.

Sure thing :)
Is it possible to get a little lock put on this thread?

IMO flashing smiley blob buddy conveys a subtler, inward rage that the old ones just can't capture
but yea we can add those i spose

Thank you for adding these! I am impressed that they are now the first two on the list, possibly implying that rage should always be the first reaction to consider.
Perfect
Wait, you're telling me is an expression of anger? It's literally called party!
To me it's not an expression of anger, more what elicits anger..
I would like to propose an idea. While we have the ATRs back (and looking wonderful) I was wondering if we could maybe open up a voting system (likely through email) where the members of the Plaza could vote on a special member to get one? Kind of like the old Minion of the Month but on a plaza wide scale?
Strange Fruit got holes in the flesh but it ain't gonn' spoil cause it never was fresh
@Frostbite Are you suggesting that, in addition to the ATR/SCRs the admins are starting to give out every month(?), there could be a people's choice award?
If so, could we allow that person to choose from all the previous ATR/SCR icons rather than only their kingdoms? (Which I think is what happened this month, iirc.)
Regarding the SCRs/ATRs, I remember that Rohan used to have an awesome thread called "Who would you be?" which listed all the available icons for SCRs (including some from other kingdoms too). People would be encouraged to post there with a few preferences over icons in the lucky event that they were going to receive one. So when it came time for the Rohan rulers to pick SCR winners, we’d pick people first, then check against their wish list and give them one of those they liked, thus guaranteeing they got a face they wanted to RP but without giving the game away.
Is it possible we could do that on here too? I imagine it would be more fun waking up and going to post and then suddenly seeing the icon next to your name and being all "Whaaaaaa...?!" rand maybe even half the plaza already knowing before you and sending your notifications shooting through the roof, rather than getting a PM from an admin saying 'which face do you want?' which is somewhat less dramatic.

I do like the idea of seeing more of these faces regularly!
On another note. I would like Peeg to have the Emeritus icon, now that it's been found. I know he's not around regularly, but still.

LOL. Really? Wow.
I don't know who made it. It was made for Bear in 2008 .... hmmm. HERE I'll have a read through and see.
I don't know when Peeg stepped down, currently. Beebs stepped down in 2009 but I don't know if that was before or after Peeg. On the other hand, I was in Vali at that time, and while I don't remember Peeg not being there, I don't remember him being there either.
Stand by.

Hmmm, I am no wiser. Fuin was doing the coding, I see, and any comment from Peeg isn't saved in that thread. Lanthy does post in that thread, but doesn't say she made it.
I know nothing.

No I mean we havent asked :P How about making a new one?
Now that might be a fun thing to do: Make a Flame Imperishable icon.

Just because it doesn't hurt to clarify, FYI no one has told us at any point "you can't use this or that icon!" - we're just sticking to the policy of only using icons we've been given explicit permission to use, because that just seems sensible.
I only remember Peeg as SuperHorse personally but we're on the case

Good clarification; good policy.

Is there anything in the pipeline to pin the top post of each thread to all subsequent pages of that thread? It used to be really handy back in the day, although I appreciate that it might cause more people (especially mobile users) a lot more scrolling these days.
Ooo, or have it there just collapsed (and expandable) so you can tap/click to see it when you want!Allafyrefleorhtlig wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 1:22 pm Is there anything in the pipeline to pin the top post of each thread to all subsequent pages of that thread?

@Allafyrefleorhtlig and @Wamba_the_Fool - it's already been looked into and isn't feasible at this time.Tarawen wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 4:22 am @Li. - We have not forgotten about your request. Unfortunately, there is no good way currently with phpBB to get the OP to stick on pages after the first one, and to have that functionality would mean investing a lot of time that we don't have right now into creating that extension from scratch. We will of course keep an eye out in case something does pop up that is workable for the site in future!

If you are quick, be the 50th or 51st? poster and repost the top post! Sorry, its the damn phpbb that is making it too hard to do :(
That sounds like something niche / cool / "dumb" enough to spawn a whole hobby and subculture of its own... Call it "re-top-[post]ing" or something, with new slang being invented by the members... People competing with each other to see how many can repost the top post on successive pages... "Oh man you see @Allafyrefleorhtlig over there? She's the fastest re-topper on the whole board, everyone wants to be like her!" Badges or symbols in signatures that communicate how many retops you've successfully pulled off...Winddancer wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 4:16 pm If you are quick, be the 50th or 51st? poster and repost the top post!

No worries, we shall adapt and overcome!
Just to ask, is ‘hot linking’ still A Thing? I remember on YeOldePlaza it would be smited upon but is it still an issue nowadays?
Sure is- if you want to post an image, please upload it to a hosting site like imgur, imgbb, photobucket, etc., and use the direct link from there!
