I knew that, the law is, do not fix what is not broken. (lawl!)

Somehow, I might request a pastebin function to be implemented to the site? :)

Just function for user to shares their code with others without having to send txt files.

If it is considered to be implemented, and only IF.
Then my suggestion for the properties for this pastebin could be like, "Remove thread after 0 view for 24 hours", "Only people who has the exact link can view the code".. and etc.

I believe you want a:

Code:
asdfdsfdsf
asdfdfdsaf
sadfsdaf
asdfsdf

Yeah. That.

Or, if you only want one person to see it, PM them the code.

Then again, if you want it public but only temporary, edit it out yourself.

I'm all for a pastebin.
I need somewhere to preview threads without the risk of accidentally submitting them.
Sure, I can delete them. But other members can't. :)

And it'd be useful for 'storing' threads, especially WIP tutorials. As well as showing other members code and stuff, but with other text and such - Formatted.

This is all assuming that a pastebin on this site would be like a private forum for every member. :p

Yeah, I think that's a good idea, rather than having all these WIP tuts getting posted because they did not have enough time to write it all up.

> Isn't the link Undead provided what you need?
It's not half as organized.
No BB code support.
No vJass syntax highlighting.
Not suitable for tutorials and such, in my opinion. :p

if its a tutorial, put the code in the tutorial.

Really its an absolutely useless add on as far as I see.

Does that means: Tutorials can be posted with unfinished chunks of a tutorial until we are through with it, and submit it to the repository, like a RSS feed?

No offense Romek, but I quoted your post because I have to say: you already have a private forum. That's right, it's called "My computer" :p. Store it in notepad and voila, your private pastebin. And you can also share with others, by uploading it!!

Now, look behind the sarcasm and you'll find a truth. Why is it so hard to use a computer? Write it in the reply box on TH, preview it, then save it on a txt. If you misclick and post it, ask a mod to help you. That's why they are mods, right?

Me myself, if I would be an admin, I wouldn't go through the hassle of doing a good pastebin when there are others online, like the one Knight suggested, just for you lazy members :p.

That's exactly what I'm doing now. :p
Though that doesn't support BB code.

It's easier to preview stuff without the risk of accidentally posting, and it's easier to send people WIPs or 'posts' with correct formatting and stuff.

> If you misclick and post it, ask a mod to help you.
That's a hassle when you can't delete posts yourself. I'm sure of it. :p

All in all, a pastebin would just be for convenience. Of course there alternatives, and this isn't essential either.
If it's so difficult to make, then I'd understand. However, I don't think it's very difficult to make at all. Just a 'private' forum. :)

Well I have experience in making javascript pages, I could make a download-able previewer. It will have no risk of posting something by accident.

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before
  • The Helper The Helper:
    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
