Suggestions and bugs

1.) May I suggest adding a feature close to that of www.wc3campaigns.com? A feature that allows users to change the tile below their names to that of something else when they get a certain amount of reputation points?

2.) It won't let you delete certain posts like posts that begin a thread. This can be very annoying when you've made a threqd you do not like but you cannot delete it.

3.) This might be a bug or intentional, but when you change the title of threads the thread title doesn't change, only the title in the post does.

For 3, only mods/admins can change the post title in the listing after it has been submitted.

For 2, don't post threads you don't like, watch for duplication of threads, and use the preview button to see what it is you're going to post before you submit it.

Yeah, allowing users to delete their own threads was a bug in the forum conversion. If you want to delete a post just go in and edit it blank.

It won't let you edit it blank. You have to have a certain amount of letters in it in order to submit it.

Well, WHAT IF you accidently duplicate a thread or decide your thread is useless or you just want to delete it?

Wait, your saying it was a bug in the old version to allow users to delete their threads? What if a user makes a thread then later comes back and thinks about it and decides the thread was useless or just doesn't want it?

Notify a mod/admin. That's what we're here for.

I vote against. First, we'd have to regulate the titles. I'm sure some will be innapropriate language, implications, or flase impersonations like 'mod' and 'admin. Secondly, campgains uses gold from post counts, not reputation.

Third, your titles already change as your post count goes up.

We like to use previous threads as incriminating evidence or for examples, which would be difficult if threads got deleted. (LOL) Since you used campaigns as an example before, I shall note campaigns does not allow the deletion of ANY post or thread.

Secondly, when you delete a thread, you delete ALL the posts inside that are NOT yours, and not within your rights to delete.

It's the same here too. You cannot delete any thread or post.

Thread abuse is bad, but deleting single posts doesn't seem to be abused. I don't see how deleting one's post, not the thredad starter, can be abused.

I can see what your saying Ryoko, as that can be very bad when someone decides they don't like a thread they started and it contains alot of posts which are not theirs. What I mean is posts that are not thread starters should be allowed to be deleted.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
