Hello everyone! We've been working on the Key Words feature for our forums since january 2016 to improve the organization of the content generated here. Progress has been slow on that one because my main focus is still my doctorate (and yea, that nightmare is not over yet).
One of the main milestones was the launch of search by key words in the last year. At that time, we have also coded a feature that would display forum posts with posts with certain the key words in a specific forum. But at that time, it was bugged and this is why that experience was restricted only to OS SHP Builder Documentation and Tutorials, where practically nobody posted anything anyway. During this year, we had a couple of attempts to fix it. But now we are glad to announce that this feature works. And yea, it makes our tutorials forums much more friendly.
To have a better idea of what I am talking about, take a look at the Media Hut Tutorials Forum. You'll see there topics that were posted at Media Hut Tutorials and topics from other forums with the Key Words #Tutorials #Media. We have also applied this feature to our:
- Tiberian Sun Tutorials Factory,
- Red Alert 2 Tutorials Vault,
- Generals Tutorials Warehouse,
- Command & Conquer 3 Blue Zone Tutorials,
- Red Alert 3 Red Army Tutorials,
- OS SHP Builder Documentation and Tutorials,
- Voxel Section Editor III Tutorials.
And we can now use it to start tutorial forums for other games, without being intimidating empty forums. For instance, a tutorial forum for OpenRA could start with 39 tutorials in its first day according to this old news post. Expect one soon.
Consider it our late birthday gift for this site, because the cake is never enough![Wink]()
