TIL I learned that when you mouseover the avatar of someone on V/LA, it tells you the date they're off V/LA. However:

Date format is dd-mm-yyyy, all in number form. While this is my natural format, being British, it's really ambiguous and I had to search a bit deeper to find out if it was dd-mm-yyyy or mm-dd-yyyy since the latter seems to be the standard. Papa Zito suggested the format still be that order, but with word for the month. This makes it way easier to discern the order of the date format.

(Also, the month is done as " 5" rather than "05" which leaves an awkward space, but if you figure out how to implement the text that becomes a non-issue)

Thanks

Kison is the man.

None of that quote pyramiding. Re-type to show respect to the man.

And that invalidates another user's preferences... why?

Just because you are a professional UX designer, it doesn't immediately make anyone else's opinions invalid.

Hell, hiplop is a user of the sitechat, and I think it's fair to say the users get a say in what they think they prefer considering that, you know, they're the ones the changes are aimed at.

I'm not saying you don't get a say - after all, you're a user too. All I'm saying is get off your high horse and don't act like your opinion is the be-all, end-all of opinions to do with it.

Phrases such as

and
strongly suggest your post, as it was, to be an entirely personal opinion, your point of view, rather than the view of any professional. Thus, to call hiplop out is silly - you think it's bad, he thinks it's good, and regardless of whether or not either of you have a "reason" or "point" as to why it is, to offer whether you think it is good is still of value and not entirely worth shrugging off, and I'm sure Kison would agree that even just an "I think it's good" is relevant.

I mean

in theory

If you make a hydra you just list it as an alt of yours

Then it doesn't have to be activated

Crazy thought I know

When you're asked to fill in "why you came to MafiaScum" in the signup section, it says "if you are an alt
/hydra
, please list your mains". Thus, while it is signed up to only using the one user's username and password, both users are associated with the account, and plus admins aren't exactly going to ban you because your other head did something stupid when the slot is a hydra.

Like I don't even think what I'm saying is a "way to get around having to get activation"

I'm fairly sure it's what you're expected to do.

Activation isn't done just because they feel like it, it's because a user creates an account which shares an IP address with an existing user's account (and haven't listed it as an alt or the like), and the admin has to confirm it to be able to track that account and prevent one player playing using two different accounts, to give one example.

So they usually confirm whether (a) it is an alt/hydra and the user just forgot to enter that category or (b) they are claiming to be a separate user (and close eyes are kept on them both).

I imagine "weeks" is just not recognised (and you can just use 7 times the number of days), and "month" and "year" are both changeable so it makes sense not to program them in
