Support NeoGAF

[DOWN]

I will no longer be updating about this site here at Neogaf. I thought this would be the right place for it, but I was clearly mistaken. All that it has netted me is a two week ban for mentioning this site as a possible solution for a discussed problem in a few other threads, and that means this is not the place. I will from now on only discuss it on beyond3d, and we'll see how things go from there.

Glad to know about it though. Best of luck.

I'm not posting about updates in functionality anymore here, but I did want to share this happy moment!

Beyond3D.com's forums now support tags to integrate information from www.techingames.net into forum posts and threads. For this first attempt, the iframe embedding with resizing support was chosen over the odata integration because it allows www.techingames.net to take care of the layouting of the data, which would otherwise be a lot of work on the beyond3d forum side. I'm very happy that we got here, so onwards and upwards!

Beyond3D is using tig, tig_compact, and tig_graphics as layout tags to integrate information, as well as tig: in the metatags of a thread. For more information, see:

https://forum.beyond3d.com/threads/www-techingames-net-integration-faq.56893

To support the integration, the background color of embedded pages is now transparent, which helps with different display themes, and we've also added a display=GameRow option, which looks better at the top or bottom of a thread than the current badge shown by display is Game.

(As ever, remember that this is a completely non-commercial, add-free, community supported endeavour, and anyone is always welcome to help and add info, links, etc.)
