New look on MMO-C

[A dot Ham]

Why do some people appear to have a solid green box around their name and others don't? What is this?

[Slant]

Good question! Mods, tell us more!

Edit: I am assuming it's the OP of the thread.

[serenka]

apparently its means they are the OP.

this must be a recent change, in last week.
its a good change as well.

[Slant]

It indicates they're the OP.

Shit... you know, I felt kinda proud at my deduction powers... now I feel stupid for not reading your post. :P

I had seen another page where multiple people had the box. Maybe I was mistaken and it was the same guy aka the OP. I will have to see.

There was a glitch earlier this week where everyone got the green box, as they were editing this in live. It's a brand-new feature and they're still tweaking things.

Wait, it takes them 3 days to go from "idea!" to "Ok, we'll just QA this on live!" but they take fucking years and years to do something like post quote notifications? Endus... what do they do all day long? :P

It means you're very special and dear to someone.

The green is a bit dark, maybe make it the same color as the green in the mmo-champ logo on top of page?

chaud just hates us. He won't even let us embed tweets or give us new user titles or a voting system or anything else I've asked for.

I can understand the tweet embedding. It's kind of messy to do. User titles I think would be fine. I think the forums are cancerous enough without a voting system though.

I believe they had to go with the darker green due to the Moderators names being hard to read in the lighter green version they were using originally.

I don't know if highlighting the OP's name is of any real practical use, starting a thread does not give one divine knowledge or special powers. OR DOES IT?

[OperationFerret]

MMOC is truly ahead of its time.

...starting a thread does not give one divine knowledge or special powers. OR DOES IT?

And therein lies the crux of the biscuit...

It gives us AUTHORITY and a MORAL HIGHGROUND when telling people to stop fucking about in our threads!

(to be read in Clint Eastwood's voice): Get outta my thread!

I wasn't a developer for the site until earlier this year, so outside of security fixes we had no one working on the site. Post quote notifications were much more work than a simple color change for the OPs name.

Either way, both are good additions. Good job, even better if it means that someone works on the site for now. Incidentally, is there a chance to fix the crazy scripting going on here?

Atleast make the color pink and not dark green! ^^

[dextersmith]

It indicates they're the OP.

How are they over powered?
