GingerAdonis Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 The new https://openrct2.org/ is up and running. It's still work in progress. Any feedback is welcome! Github repo if you wish to contribute: https://github.com/JarnoVgr/OpenRCT2.org
jensj12 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Good to see this being worked on. You won't see the launcher if you click 'Get the latest download' on the homepage.
RuneLaenen Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Note to self: the header is wrong and the menu is not clickable on mobile because the logo is above it. Also, on mobile, the white space left and right of the photo should be removed.
oliver Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) I like the look very much! I would like a place to share scenarios with each other. Or maybe I couldn't find it... Anyway, thanks for making the game! I love it! Maybe there should just be a forum thread for this purpose. Edited February 2, 2016 by oliver

We're going to make a Steam-workshop-like-thing in the future where you will be able to share and find scenarios and other stuff
Squab Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 That is a nice new banner of some dueling inverts you all put up on the frontpage. I wonder who's design that is? 1
Nubbie Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 The only problem I've seen is that 'Forums' + 'Chat' is over the picture on my phone, but I presume that's just because my screen is too small Here is a suggestion for a support page for OpenRCT2: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/issues/3329
Broxzier Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 On my phone the "OpenRCT2 Forums" text wraps to bellow the header, making everything behind it not clickable. To go to unread content I'll have to first open the Activity menu and navigate it.
YoloSweggLord Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 I feel like somewhere on the forums (probably in the account settings page) there should be something that tells users which at which numbers of posts they rank up at. For example, apprentice at 10 posts, entrepreneur at 100 posts, etc. (at least that's how I remember it being)
ziscor Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 @YoloSweggLord tbh I don't like the ranking system at all. But then again, I say that on every forum I've been on.
SensualEthiopianPolice Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 I had no clue that ranking had anything to do with number of posts or anything! I was always wondering why I had a decent reputation but still apprentice
jensj12 Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Don't show the numbers needed to level up, we don't want people spamming these forums just for an extra dot under their name.

Broxzier Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Or remove it altogether. And also the points under the avatar. Both seem a bit silly to me.
GingerAdonis Posted May 13, 2016 Author Posted May 13, 2016 Well, the dots do serve a purpose in my opinion. If you're asking a question and get several answers, the dots might be an indication if the answer is from a regular player or a newbie (and thus might be wrong). Thoughts?
ziscor Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) Well, that's one way of looking at it. Here's how I think about this: one might only be posting things in the Small Talk and Offtopic section or the Ideas section and still make about 100 posts. That would probably make them an Entrepreneur, and if other people like the ideas they post, or the things they post in Small Talk, they will garner enough rep to be considered an experienced member of the community. Even making jokes can put you up pretty high. If a newbie were to ask them a question, the answer might not be right at all. This also puts into perspective the huge gap between Apprentice and Entrepreneur, and the small gaps after that. But then again, something is better than nothing... Edited May 13, 2016 by ziscor
Broxzier Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 I'd say the karma/points system would be better for this. The amount of posts does not say much about how experienced someone is. Indeed, as ziscor mentioned, someone can be active in the fun subforum, and not answer questions. Having the points more as a "good answer" system (like StackOverflow), and possible only display in it the problems and bugs section.
ziscor Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) I agree. The rep system should only be there in the Problems and Bugs section, as in the ability to give rep, or receive rep. As for if the rep counter is only shown in said sub-forum, I'm indifferent to that change. Shouldn't make much difference, really. There's a lot of ways the rep system is unreliable other than someone simply posting fun stuff that like-minded people find rep-worthy. An example: Person A had a quarrel with Persons B and C, and when they decided to debate on this in a thread, B and C would keep giving rep to each other's post to let them know they support their stance. Person A's actions will eventually get B and C a good reputation when all they did was debate with A on something.

jensj12 Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 I sometimes want to give a rep point for good OpenRCT2 creations as well, but I agree it should be disabled on the off topic boards.
Broxzier Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Or it could be board specific. Different reputations per sub forum.
imlegos Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 My rep in off topic and ideas would be decent, but for problems/bugs it would be pretty bad.
