bring back /me mkII!

[Ennui]

I made a thread on this ages (ages = at least eight months) ago and though everyone supported it, nothing happened. I remember from my early days at halflife2.net that there was a great modification to the vBulletin code so that when you typed /me, it'd turn out in the post as something like:

*Ennui wants to bring back /me!

I believe it disappeared because you had to update the vBulletin software, thus deleting all of the code modifications.

It'd be great if we could have this back... who else thinks so?

/me misses /me


;(

 

[Hectic Glenn]

/me doesn't remeber this although i've been here longer than you apparently ;(

 

[Ennui]

not true, I first joined in december 2003 (when the main site just said "Site coming soon").

I was just an idiot and kept rejoining (I have 4 or 5 accounts I think) because I thought that was the only way to change my name. Which annoyed Munro a bit when I said that in my newbie central thread with this (final) account.

I hate my join date being so late especially when I've been here so much longer edit: my first post : http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=16595 dec 31, 2003

How did you make a post before you were a member?

Anyway the /me command was around back then, it wasn't around the start of 04, then vanished after an upgrade sometime towards the end of last year IIRC.

hahahaha newbie!!!! oh dear you need a hug, and theres one right now from tr0n. Btw while we await some mod to say something, did you see that thread about people taking your votes away in off topic!? what on earth? They want that crime lord with a warning level of 2 Danimal! Don't like the general attitude things are heating up.

/me shakes fist

[Jimmeh]

OMG OMG

/me dies

/me shakes fist

Now these colours are bad on the blue theme!!
Red should come out good on both methinks

 

[Munro]

Testing

/me is testing

ok done testing.

The green colour is fine on the new design that's coming soon.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

/me is just testing the thing, it probaby wont work for me

awesome, and new theme? interesting, what complements green well? not orange again!

 

[Munro]

For some reason it works unless you put more text below it. When that happens the end star appears on a new line :|

/me is puzzled

 

[Tr0n]

/me is happy!

Edit: Holy shit it does work!

/me dances

 

[Ennui]

/me is absolutely estatic

I looked on the link to Ennui's first post... and look what i found :stare:

I didnt do it

Woah!! That's odd...

I don't like all these forum themes! Becuase then when you use colored text in your post it might not be very visible to a person who is using a different theme! I say we all must conform to one! Down with eye strains!

 

[joule]

/me tests


Cool! First for me. Ever.

 

[Munro]

I'll fix the code properly tomorrow, for now - bed!

yeah that used to happen too.. when quoting someone the /me would change to your name instead. Dunno why it does it like this though.

/me wants to come

No pun intended.

 

[bliink]

/me tests the 'me' command'

Blah blah

/me tests it again

:O

 

[Tr0n]

/me loves /me

 

[seinfeldrules]

/me
did this work? Bah, I think I broke it :/

 

[Ames]

You need to have something after it in order to work.

/me works

/me

doesn't

 

[seinfeldrules]

/me how about this

 

[Tr0n]

/me laughs at sein00b


j/k

 

[Ikerous]

/me spams along with everyone else here

 

[Hazar]

woot, I just noticed this

/me loves it

/me wants more commands :E

 

[Shippi]

/me loves the me command

 

[Tr0n]

Wasn't the orignal /me command orange? ;(

 

[Danimal]

/me dislikes the green on dark blue scheme

where the hell have u been?!?!?! :dork:

/me tests

I can't read it OLOLOL. Using a <span > tag instead of a direct <font> color tag would allow the me-command color to be set in the stylesheet of a forum theme. This is allows for a different, readable color for every theme.

/me knows the chance of this actually being implemented is astronomically small, but posts it anyway

 

[Insano]

/me wants the orange color, because that's typical HL

We could have a colour for every theme but there will only be one available shortly so there's not much point Also, the code is going to be changing later today.
