NO CLAN TAG SHOWING? READ THIS.

At the moment there is a limitation in clan tag wearers. If you are the Group OWNER ( the one who owns the group and registered it ) you are not automaticaly in the members page.

May i suggest adding yourself as a Head Admin. Once you are listed on your clans members page you will then be able to use the tag.

This im sure will catch many out. Many appologies

oh what they say here is for the forums.

I don't think you need nicknames for the forums...

nice to have the new settings good work!
one thing that scared me was to see the e-mail address in my passport site but it's only viewable to the profile owner.

Maybe I just haven't understood it's use yet, but I believe we can have up to 3 nicknames to play with. Apparently the new system does not take into account the nicks. Where and how will we be able to use the nicks instead of the original UID?

I' wondering this, too. I can now have fancy stuff going on with my "Display Name", but not with my nick names, they're still e.g. converting to lowercase, do not allow punctuations, etc.

Displaying your whole posts differently is fine; you show your posts are more important than others which is normal; it was also showing with the 'dev team' previously too.

Now the avatars being greyscale still seems ugly to me; if it's for aesthetic reasons purely, it has an excuse though i don't know if it's completely innocent because of that; in the case it's purely for differentiation - and not aesthetics - i'd call it pure evil.

The short width of the site is a remaining irritation; it can be overwritten though i don't believe it's necessary to stay that way. It could at least be optimized to something like that overwriting script posted's width.


All in all i believe this new look in general (dark, greyscale forcing of avatars) is making people feel a bit more awkward about it than they could have been.



Also, the blue posts for dev members can be turned off for 'unimportant' posts; this is what reddit administrators do; if it's an 'important announcement' they turn on their 'colored' post, if it's pure chatting, they post normally. This makes them blend in better and not feel like they're imposing an 'importance' status. This gives them less chances of being seen as pretentious and raises the importance of the posts that were explicitly colored.

Yes, it does this, but it works like this:

Let's say I register the nickname "H0i"

The system will assign me the nickname "hoi"

This also includes h0i, H0i, H0I, hOI, hOi, h01 and so on.

I don't get the whole nickname thing ... See, I use "rfx" on this Forum, another name on another Forum and a completely different name (MaxC.) in-game. I'm not fond of sharing a single identification on multiple occasions.

However, I could enter "MaxC." into my nicknames, put it's converted to "maxc" and I don't understand why.

And what's also not clear to me, is now my Forum/Passport name in anyway bound to later passport in-game playing?

Your login name here is not related to your ingame name.

If you enter "MaxC" it is changed into "maxc", BUT you will be able to use MaxC if you want to. The nickname says "maxc" but this also inclues "MaxC".

Ah, thanks, didn't knew that! That means I can play on a passport enabled server using passport with any name I like?

Ok, then .. sorry for my ignorance, what's the nickname thing for then anyway? Just no one else can claim a Forum name with it?

thanks!
