Hmm I think this would be very useful!

Not necessarily like on cnCalc.org but still pretty handy. cnCalc also allows searching by tags, but that is still nice I guess.

Yeah, that's handy to have, even Planète-Casio does have a similar feature, so yes, that's handy.

u/Yuki February 24, 2015, 03:09:50 PM

Ah, yeah. That's an ABXD feature ported to SMF, that should be pretty useful.

I like this one but I hardly ever go to the who's online page.

Oh nice I didn't know that. I wonder how I can use it? It would be pretty handy since Google search isn't always reliable.

I don't have the first, but if I implement it it will probably scale down avatars to about 32x48 or 48x48 because if we ever get many people online it would get annoying to browse. What would be nice is if it also separated registered users from guests like on PhpBB2/3.

Also wow the 2nd mod might be very handy in the future

. I am unsure if it would install though since we already heavily modded the post page. It might require manual template installing, which could make it very hard to uninstall if we ever get rid of the mod. However it would be handy for calculator game releases with more than 1 author and also for lists of tutorials or actual tutorials.

Nope, nevermind, forget it. I'm efinitely tired and sarting to see things where they're'nt. I thought it meant that selecting some text then clicking on a BBCode tag just wrapped the text with said tag.

Protip: Don't do drugs.

Just kidding, yeah actually what the current mod we have does is that if you put any topic text inside brackets, it converts it into a graphical tag. There aren't any limitations (other than how it doesn't work on the front page nor the Latest Activity page) so people better not abuse it

(eg naming their topics [T][H][E][ ][G][A][M][E] or something

)

Does anyone know what is the best Android application for RSS feed? It needs notifications so that when a feed is updated it shows a notification in Android status bar.

I am asking, because with SMF 2.0, via http://codewalr.us/index.php?action=.xml;sa=recent;limit=10 you can get the latest posts on the forums and if there is a reliable Android app that can notify the user when feeds are updated, then this could behave as a CodeWalrus post notifier app. What about Windows, Mac, Linux and iOS?
