The only case where that is really true is Blooddrunk, since all other files where it allows an advantage (such as TTE) become more difficult in other sections (48th walls/polyrhythms).

Other reading: Artistic value

I don't see that being much of a problem, unfortunately I can't find the damn words.

This is what I'm saying, and to be clear, you're not referring the left/right scroll mods - you're talking about mods that change the file itself right?

In which case, yes, it does make certain files too easy, and it's more than just one or two songs that in your opinion you feel is easier. Regardless, it changes what the simfile artist stepped and meant to be played as.

I'm confused.
Left and Right scroll still exist, but if he isn't talking about that then what is he referring to?

He's talking about left/right turn mods, which changes the file itself - resulting in preferentially left or right-handed patterns (try it on Stepmania and see for yourself).

left and right turn

Imagine the DDR dance pad, then turn it 90 degrees left or right. That's what the left and right mods do.
It alters the feel of the file waaaaay more than merely mirror, that's why they were taken out. Gotta preserve some of what the simfile artist intended the file to feel like, even if you might not agree with it!

How hard would it be to code to allow pictures to be uploaded into the discussion section of the 'social groups' on this site?

Yea, would it be hard to code to where we can upload pictures straight from our computer into discussions? That would make it a lot easier than having to use outside (photobucket) links.

Depends on how familiar the staff is with vB. But it's probably easy, who knows.

Bandwidth? Besides, hosting is more convenient for the forums since you can directly hotlink them into posts with [img][/img] tags. It's also more organized than having to go straight to the bottom of a post.

Why is it easier to use vB's crappy upload system than go to an easyshare site like imageshack or imgur? :\

I click 'print screen', paste it into paint, save the file, and then directly upload it, it doesnt take a middle man. Oh well, I guess I'll go check out photobucket again.

imgur you can just drag and drop onto the window whatever image you want, and you don't even need an account.

Wait. I thought all you wanted was to be able to use [img] Tags in the discussion? Is there any way to enable it for the social group discussions?

So far, the best thing we've figured out is just to put a link to a saved replay for the discussions

Judging by Velo's post, I don't think it's easy.

Was he referring to the lack of BBcode in the discussions or SaxRunner's post on coding something different?

Both, social groups were designed for text only. There's no options for anything related to them besides enable/disable.
