SmashT 10907 Posted February 20, 2014 We have implemented something on the forums that now does this automatically when you create a new topic and shows similar ones (based on the topic title and tags) that already exist in that section. Hopefully eliminating some of the duplicate topics we get so often. Any issues let me know, feedback is welcome. 30 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fluxley 2228 Posted February 20, 2014 Doesn't seem to be working for me, should it just pop up as you start typing in "topic title"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Max Planck 7174 Posted February 20, 2014 Doesn't seem to be working for me, should it just pop up as you start typing in "topic title"? You have to click somewhere outside the 'title box', and there is a character limit too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monkfish (DayZ) 339 Posted February 20, 2014 Fucking winner. I suspect it won't help a jot, but then you can't help dumb/ignorant people. :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fluxley 2228 Posted February 20, 2014 You have to click somewhere outside the 'title box', and there is a character limit too. Yeah, got it to work for a few words, no hits for "WTF" surprisingly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmashT 10907 Posted February 20, 2014 Yeah, got it to work for a few words, no hits for "WTF" surprisingly. It's setup with a 4 minimum character limit atm, can be changed but it will start finding topics with "and" "the" etc in them if we do so probably not ideal.

FlamingDefibs 421 Posted February 20, 2014 Excellent work, but I'm afraid that we could have used this a year ago, when a lot of this started to become immensely annoying. Regardless, thanks a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pillock 850 Posted February 20, 2014 It's setup with a 4 minimum character limit atm, can be changed but it will start finding topics with "and" "the" etc in them if we do so probably not ideal.

Phineas 56 Posted February 21, 2014 I was over at the reddit dayz board and came across the experimental branch info, which I had no idea about until then. When I searched "experimental server" I got 1 result (a dev log), and even "experimental" gave 1 result, so I was going to start a "why isn't everyone on experimental?" thread when the search function popped up with many results. Which was weird but also helpful, so I posted in the "worth it" section. Nice to see features added though, have my beans SmashT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phineas 56 Posted February 21, 2014 regex ftw.Noice. Regex = Regular Expression, aka finite state automaton, aka lexical analyzer. Unix "grep" = Generate Regular Expression and Print. Most people only know * but it's a biggie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
