IRC uses a single sustained TCP connection to the server, while HTTP makes a connection to load a page then closes it and makes a new one when loading the next page. Trying to use an IRC client like a shoutbox would reset the client every time you browse to another page.(04-04-2015, 04:46 AM)OdinYggd Wrote: Oh yes. Automatic doublepost merging as well. This forum has quite a few neat features.I've heard (and possibly seen) you can integrate an IRC client right into a forum.
Try not to put too much focus on postcounts or rep points.
I can literally set them to any value I want to.
Its just a number in the server's database. But it would be cheating for me to edit them.
Add it to the list?
Also BBCode buttons on quick reply.
However it is possible to make a link to an IRC client that takes the place of a subforum link, and opens in a new tab for people's convenience.
Okay yeah.
Meanwhile, we also need to add automatic youtube embedding to the list, and a less shitty forum theme.
Seriously I can't even read the names of the users browsing the thread.
CAN CONFIRM, FORUM THEME IS TERRIBLE.
I DONT EVEN KNOW WHO I'M REPLYING TO OR WHY.
