Topic: Ideas for the site

@Antdickens Been having this problem the past few days when viewing the site on my phone. I have been using Google Chorme and it's an Andoid phone

If you can see the alignment is off on the right side of screen. Not sure if it's due to an add, which I dont get because I am a supporter or what. Hopefully you can fix it.

That’s because the HTML code in RuppeClock’s post didn’t break up into multiple lines, it’s so long it goes beyond the normal space of the page.

Finding today that clicking on a notification from my notifications list opens the link in a new window, rather than the current window.

@RupeeClock thanks, that should now no longer appear.

@RupeeClock @Tasuki that text should wrap now and fix the horizontal scrolling.

@gcunit @Rambler are you talking about the expanding menu or from the notifications page?

@Rambler hmm okay, strangely it is fine here on Chrome/iOS/Windows. Menu -> Notifications -> Notification opens in the same window (regardless of new/old). Could you potentially send a screen recording?

Sent you a short video to your X account @antdickens.

@gcunit perfect thanks — yeah, that is expected (as to how the code is now). Is that what you are seeing too @Rambler?

If so, yeah — I can change that to open the same window by default, up to the user to middle-click or 'open in new tab'

@antdickens Just struck me as a recent change cos I don't remember it working like that before. Personally I like to keep things in one window so when new windows jump open of their own accord it's mildly niggling.

But now that I know it's like that and meant to be like that then I guess I can learn to hold down the link and select to 'open in new tab in group'.

@gcunit its the same window on the other pull out box, so I think it makes sense to be consistent to be honest.

In my humble opinion I think having polls is important but we don’t need to have them for everything.

@Atomic77 Although I don't disagree with your statement, there have been 69 NintendoLife articles this week and 5 of them are tagged as 'poll'. So.. less than 1 in 10. Looking at prior weeks, 5 seems fairly average. Judging by the numbers of responses, far more people seem to enjoy interacting with the site by answering polls than by saying things in comments. Plus the majority of 'poll' articles have information besides just the poll. I'm sure NintendoLife is constantly trying to balance different article types to maximize readership, but they tend to make things pretty easy to ignore if you personally aren't interested in a particular article type.

That said... 3 of the 5 articles this week tagged as 'poll' were ocarina of time articles which is definitely a lot on that topic so it seemed like a lot of polls this week even though it will just be a little more than usual. 😝

There should be a way to see how to do chat commands. (like bold, italics, etc)

I like that putting in ASCII emoticons make them into regular emojis but it feels somewhat odd... A : followed by D makes while a : followed by ) makes both of which are very similar. Maybe : followed by a D should make this face instead? 😁IDK, I just think that would be nice, along with <3 making ♥

They feel kind of backwards for me… : followed by ) in plain text looks like a shady smile, but as the emoticon it looks like a honest smile . And with it’s the completely opposite. The emoticon looks like it has hidden intentions, but the text version looks fine.

The iPhone version of looks even more unhinged 😀

Something really random I noticed just now while thinking about changing my avatar is that when I went to my settings page and hovered over the avatar, the tooltip showed filename of an older avatar: "Heart Gold Box Small". I think I had my drawing of Japanese Heart Gold box art as my very first avatar here and replaced it ages ago. Just a weird quirk. I wonder if it's the same for everyone?

@Late a quirk indeed, I've updated/fixed this to show the current filename instead previously it just kept the original file title (unless you removed/updated instead of replacing)

Hey I just posted on the regular forums, but was suggested by someone to post here. Could Nintendo Life add a way to easily add image files to posts? Right now it is a bit confusing.

@imadeanaccount NintendoLife staff has made it very clear that this site won't host images so you will never be able to add an image directly to a post. If your image is hosted elsewhere, it can be displayed easily on a post by linking to it:

[ im g] url here [/i mg]
(without the spaces)

@FishyS Understandable.

Oh so thats how you do it! I did actually wonder about that..!
