GWJ bugs, feature requests, and updates

Can we get a place for 3DS friend codes added to the Gaming IDs page in the account settings?

Possible to move the "Logout" option from the menu on the upper left? I find that with my sausage fingers on my iPad I'm logging out a fair amount of the time.

Nice. Hypatian, are you a part of the GWJ dev group? If not, and you're interested in being in it, let me know and I'll get you added to the the right group and in Github.

:drink:

I'm not. Hook me up, I guess.

Is there a way to add a "Go to first new post" link for each thread? Sometimes I guess wrong, then it takes a while in long threads to find which page I left off at.

Sorta already there:

Rolled out some changes today:

Mobile-friendly spoiler tags
Big props to Trueheart78. We now have mobile-friendly spoilers! You may need to hit "refresh" to see the change, but now, next to the "Spoiler" text in a post, you'll see a "Show" link that will reveal the spoiler text. Just click / tap it and you're good to go. Here's a sample:

Spoiler:

The new mobile-friendly spoiler will BLOW YOUR MIND.

Security / spam control
Rolling out some additional measure to help automate dealing with spammers and hackers.

Donation drive 2011
A new rank has been added for repeat-donators.

YES!

Works on my Droid, default browser. Nice!

The spoiler tag "show" link doesn't appear on my HTC Incredible. I'll have to look into that.

I had to refresh to make sure I got the updated JavaScript... is there an equivalent to clearing your cache you could try?

Nice!

Loving it! Awesome addition!

Yeah, looks like it may have been cached - seems to be working now.

Nicely done, trueheart78!

Edit: looks like it might have been cached. Working now.

Awesome! loving the new mobile spoilers.

Thank you for the spoiler tag update.

Spoiler:

Very nice!

Just noticed the spoiler fix! Awesome!!

Kudos on the mobile spoiler implementation.

Thanks, I do appreciate it.

I LOVE that spoiler thing. Very clever.

One possible improvement that would make it even more mobile-friendly; I've seen some UBB sites that use collapsible spoiler tags. Only when you click them do they expand out and become visible. That way, they don't take up screen real estate unless you want to read them.

But even this is excellent. Don't take the additional suggestion as not being impressed or thankful.

Agree with everybody else. Very nice. Thanks.

Yep, I really do appreciate the new spoiler code. Can we pretty, pretty please get a much larger font for mobile. It is a pain to have to resize every page to read it on my phone. Going to Tapatalk would be even better, but a larger font would largely solve the issue.

I'm fine with the font size, but I've got an EVO with a big screen. Maybe a selectable font?

My big problem with mobile at this point is where there's a large image that makes it either a case of a tiny font when the image is fit onto the screen, or a scroll fest to scroll side to side to read all the text.

Either making images a click to view situation or automatically sized to something reasonable on mobile would be cool.

Again, thanks for the work. Just throwing out suggestions.

Allow me to add my voice to the chorus of fans of the new spoiler mechanism!

I have a feature request that has probably been requested before, but:

Would it be possible to change the YouTube tag so that it uses the default wide screen presentation like you get on the actual YouTube site? A lot more videos now are using HD aspect ratios than the venerable 4:3. I feel like I'm watching an SD TV when I watch videos on GWJ.

The default iframe size for a wide screen video on youtube is 640x390, for example the DXHR trailer:

iframe width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/i6JTvzr..." frameborder="0" allowfullscreen

Also, adding ?rel=0 at the end of the URL will prevent related videos showing after the video finishes. Not sure if you want to do that, but it's an option.

Here's an example of collapsible spoiler tags:

I would like a button that, when pressed, punches Prozac in the face.

The GWJ store link on the front page is broken. Well, it's broken when I hit the link, anyway.

Great minds think alike.
