The tooltip/hover text for the [countdown] bbcode tag says "Note: The deadline time has been adjusted for your timezone. Generally these are set to Midnight PST.", which I assume is a temporary thing you added because they were originally only used during RO, but that last line should probably just not be included, or it should change to reflect the time that was entered into the tag itself.

I would like to see postcounting being enabled on the Story Portal (tbh, why shouldn't it be, despite not many people using it).

Thank you, FF.

Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.

@Supershroom I turned postcount on in those spots (must have missed them previously), and double-checked everywhere else. Everywhere postcount is on, polls are on.

@OJ VERY good point. I will take out that part of the comment (easiest solution).

EDIT: Yeah. Easiest... except not. I am working on it, sorry. Will take some time...

Wouldn't it be easier if there was an assistant or other staff member that could help with the backend of things, when Doram is busy or tied up? I bring it up a lot, but nothing is ever discussed.

Just thought of this: what about personal color customization with the general forum layout or some kind of personal settings tab for this site? Probably hard to program?...I don't know. Something that People can change the color scheme for their computer to display Runouw.com. Instead of blue, someone can change their own scheme to red for their computer's display of the site.

Something not so beneficial, but I thought I'd share it

That sounds like what Stylish does.

It's a good idea, but it comes at a cost. do we locally host the stylesheets here or as cookies?

me a few months ago wrote:And maybe finally let profiles also be viewed by guests so they can also see all of our amazing achievements (aka medals)?

And now I know for a few weeks already that on SMBX.org profiles are visible to everyone. Of course SMBX is a bad community and all but in terms of this they're one step ahead to us.

Would be good to get this somehow.

Is the reasoning behind this only the fact that apparently some site has stuff we don't and we need to be equal or better than it? Because it does feel like it, and at least in my opinion, we have a billion more important things to worry about than to let random people on the internet see shiny icons in a profile.
