HEY

There's no need for that. Keep things civil, okay?

Why not set the forum to disable signatures for anyone with less than 10 or 20 posts?

I dunno if this can be done v<img src="http://www.scirra.com/phpBB3/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif">v

Anyway, that would have to be something for Ash (or RICH or DAVID) to do. But it sounds good to me... except for the part where every new member starts a thread asking why their sig doesn't work

For great justice!

There is a sneaky spammer loose on the boards. Over the past week or so I have removed many posts by this person/bot/whatever, but it's hard to track because their method is insidious and clever. Here's what's up:

At first, the post seems like a normal Construct post. IT IS ALWAYS ON TOPIC TO THE THREAD...

"How is that possible?" you ask? "Is this crazy spammer actually using Construct? Did they go so far as to learn to make games in order to weasel their way into our community?" No, they did not. The answer is deceptively simple:

They simply select part of a post from earlier in the thread and copypasta. If you're just skimming through, you're likely not to notice anything out of place. They even copied one of Ashley's posts in one thread... funny how a newbie with only one post is suddenly a developer commenting on the future of Construct.

All offenders so far have just one post. All of them post in current topics (no thread necromancy). The spam links so far have all gone to clothing or jewelry sites (DO NOT EVER CLICK ON THE SPAM LINKS! We don't want to feed them).

It's getting tough to keep track, so please... if you see any posts like this then click the report button. You'd be doing the forum a great service

Ah, very nice! Thanks, Ash!

Nope, but you can fake it by hiding the mouse and making a separate, visible cursor that slowly follows the mouse coordinates.

That's really nice

I can't get the rainstorm to work, though. How is the gesture done?

The flash feature is fundamentally broken because it's using tick based counts and doesn't use timedelta. I could change it back but it would break all existing .caps using it! And if I don't do that, I don't think I should add any more features to the flash action, it's pretty simple to do yourself.

I think it should be changed to TimeDelta. Things should be TimeDelta compliant whenever possible, yes? As for the broken .cap problem, might I offer up the old "sacrifice for the greater good of 1.0" argument? It doesn't seem like it would be a terribly difficult fix anyway, for a user to change the duration of the flash in his event.

Just my two cents. And as newt said, making your own timer is easy enough so it's not like it's a critical situation or anything.

Glad to see it you got it taken care of, and in under six minutes

Since I can't read Russian I assume this is the dance party thread.

Moving this party to OT everybody say yeah throw your hands in the air

Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Time Lobster stepped into the quantum accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own. And so Time Lobster finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap... will be the leap home.

Heh, it seems like Google is becoming the new MiKKKrosoft, because OMG EVIL they're taking over the world! Where some see "ulterior motives" I just see "business model," I guess. They're a web-centric company. It makes sense that they would produce a web browser.

And however reluctant they may be to allow ad blocking with Chrome, they're canny enough to know they'll get all kinds of nerdrage aimed at them if they try to keep 3rd party stuff from being developed for their open-source browser. It's just a matter of time, someone will make it, I'm sure.

But then again, who knows? Maybe it'll be like homebrew-hacking your game console... like "sorry, you can't update to the latest version, you have unauthorized extensions installed." Even so, someone will probably come up with a workaround. Want to run Chrome with no ads? Try Krome!

> windows controls will always appear on top, solution: don't use them they're glitchy crap anyways

yeah, pretty much. there's so many problems with windows controls it's insane.

Thirded. Making your own buttons is the best way to go.

May I suggest a little tutorial on how to accomplish this?
