Back button on machine project pages

Postby Agar » Tue Jan 18, 2005 3:36 pm

It's currently rather hard to browse what projects you have the tools for when you can't go back to the events page from the clothing selection page. Could that get slapped on there?

On the subject of back buttons... can we have one on the machine subjects? So we can decide against a subject and choose another without the annoiying "0 of 0g needed" projects. They really are very irritating considering a back button is all that is needed... :evil:

My web browser came with a preinstalled back button that seems to be Cantr II compliant for the time being.

Oh ya, smart guy?
Try selecting one type of clothing to make, but before "continuing to manufacturing", press back and select another. See what happens. Or on a smelting furnace, select "smelting iron (coal)", and then press back and select something else.

OK.. change "compliant" to "mostly compliant" and he's right, Nick. And bashing newbies is a bad habit imho.

It's not smart guy... it's smart ass! :D Darn my subtle sarcasm... :roll:

Yes, the pages w/o the back button annoy me too, and I am aware of the errors when not bowing to the demands of the server.

Do not submit yourself to the will of the server - VIVA LA RESISTANCE - I call on you all to USE THE BACK BUTTON ON YOUR BROWSER

Ah, he gets the point, and you don't.
I wasn't bashing "newbies". He sounds pretty knowledgable and I was only joking.

Although people always seem to have fun posting irrelevant remarks on these kind of posts... I really do want this to be taken seriously. The lack of a back button really does irritate me - and shouldn't be too hard to implement. Can someone from the Prog. Department at least post on this thread to reassure me that my point has been recognised...

For smaller problems like that, it's best to report it to Flyspray. Things get solved a lot faster when you add them there, I find.

The forum, as it appears to me, mainly serves the purpose of showing the Programming Department what players feel about bigger changes and ideas, and what features the players feel are the most important for the game to improve.

I don't know if it just my browser, but when I select a clothing article to make, it just refreshes the page once...kinda small but when you want to learn how to make things it gets annoying...anyone else have this problem?

laces>
if you select an item of clothing, then use "the back button" to go back because it's used for anything else? then (for some reason - and I'm sure it's a good one ;)) if you click on another item of clothing, then it just refreshes. You have to use the 'back to manufacturing' or whatever the link is named to get back to a list that will work...

All part of the reason I would like some kind of back buttons on all pages...

I posted this on flyspray a month ago, as suggested. Has anyone from prog actually seen my request? It's just a simple back button, nothing that complicated.

Please!
