Has anyone else noticed that help topic creation got an AWESOME update?

THE FORUM DEVS ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTED FEEDBACK!!!

Holy guacamole it’s a miracle! We haven’t seen that since that AI thread and THAT OTHER AI thread.

The starting dialog mentions code formatting. This is GREAT for newcomers (most users here).

@gertkeno (probably) won’t have to copy/paste this same comment:

And this feedback goes WAY back to other Forum Feedback posts:

Better late than never.

2 years to add a few lines of text to a template. Not bad.

That’s lightning fast for Godot Forum standards!

@Demetrius_Dixon
Ah don’t be mean to the godot devs and the people updating this site. Lets be honest, we all enjoy it. It’s their hard work and commitment that gives us access to such a lovely forum. Having been a forum admin, a forum owner, a forum mod on many sites and many different forums in different ways, I can tell you it is more frustrating that you might imagine. And sometimes more work than you might imagine too. Whoever is doing this forum, they have done a great job in keeping it a place we all like to be. So thank you to them. You are appreciated.

That code thing, I mean, what a PITA. Who posts a new topic and then looks at it and thinks “thats good” when it is clearly a complete mess and they can see it! It’s right there, and yet they leave it and expect an answer! Some of the posts I have seen have just been unbelievable. Literally a 500 line long script without any formatting, all over the place and a message that says “it doesn’t work”.

And lets face it, I have not seen any spam on here. Actually I think once I saw some, I reported it and it was gone the next day!

So good spot, yes about time, thanks for raising it. It is an improvement certainly.

It was funny when they stopped the AI thread, in all honesty they were right to do so, and they gave it a lot of leeway. I personally loved reading it, I thought it was hilarious, but I also thought ‘fair enough’ when they stopped it.

So I am just saying, lets be a bit more supportive of the people that have given us such a lovely and useful forum for us to use, and perhaps a bit more appreciation for their ‘behind the scenes’ thankless task of keeping everything ship shape.

I can’t argue with that.

Although it’s funny when people don’t delete the pre formatted text when they don’t have code.

And the question in the post makes NO SENSE!

Perhaps that code block is acting like a hidden form field as a honeypot trap for bots. If its in there it could be a bot!

We shouldn’t laugh at people but yeah, what exactly is the benefit of 3D? What has 3D ever done for us? (Life of Brian anyone? I hope someone is as old as me to remember that).

This is the funniest sentence on this forum. And I was a part of that AI thread. :tractor:

That ai thread has probably became like a godot forum pop culture reference and it’s legacy will live on. Must we get the mods to start to ban everybody who leaves on the template when they don’t have code for suspect of being a bot? : )

This could be a new copypasta.
