Hey,
I would love if the announcments would be discussable.
Why? Cause then I could comment on the "Several updates" thread and say that dude it broke the game. Which you all probably know...
But still, it would be great to congradulate people or burn them down for their work and accomplishements.
And no, I am not mocking about BM being broken. I would never do such a thing. All devs are awesome for doing free work for a game!
That would be nice. And I *thought* that was the original plan. So only specific people could begin a new thread, but that everyone would be able to comment on it.
Nothing is keeping you from starting a new threat about the announcements ...

Yeah, lets start a new thread as a response to every thread we like to comment on. Thats the whole point of the forums.
Atleast I would like to know the reasoning to not allow replies.
Actually, it turns out even I can't post replies to the messages in the Announcements board. Not sure if it has to do with the script that pulls them into the newsticker; it's possible that it would just grab the most recent 5 comments in the board, and not the most recent 5 new topics.
Hmm....... I could post a comment on one, if you want to try it.
Go for it, what's the worst that can happen? News ticker script fails, shuts down php, the game, the forum, etc, etc. (jk here). :)

They aren't because, well, they are announcements. There really isn't anything to discuss about them. I would hide them from the main forum view if I knew how, because the whole board only exists so the BM scripts have something to pull from.

Is it possible to only make them visible to a certain user group, and then simply make sure nobody belongs to that group?
good idea. Yes, that should work.
Um...
So now how are those of us who are actually intended to be able to make announcements supposed to do so?

Get added to the super secret group I would assume.
Actually, I had to make it visible again, otherwise the integration also doesn't work. :-(

Not knowing how the integration is set up, is it because the integration system used a forum account that didn't have the appropriate permissions to see the sub-forum?

I don't know, and I have too much other stuff to worry about to figure it out.

Tom, I still can't see the Announcements board on the forum. I'd like to announce the recent change in rev. 5494, but I can't.
Uh, ok. Strange. I'll try to fix it, right now.
