Replies-update

As you can see, I've updated the forum/reply part of the site. I'm not too sure about the forum tab itself, or the two boards I've added. You could consider it experimental. If it turns out to work well, I'll keep it. If not, it'll be removed.

The replies waste a little less space, there are new reply/report/upvote buttons that don't shift all replies below it down. Posts that are upvoted a lot are also colored differently. Long reply chains will also look a little better. Lastly, it's now possible to un-upvote a post as well.

The forum-tab is mostly intended as a place that combines the various reply sections all over the site. As it turned out, it was really difficult to find post on other pages without visiting them. A while ago I silently introduced a new profile page, which already improved this a bit. Now I'm trying to improve discoverability even more by adding the posts without a reply and the recent posts lists.

I'm also hoping that this will encourage people to help each other when possible, so the discussions on here are not only between me and someone else. It's actually an awful lot of work to reply to each and every one of you :)

The off-topic section is mostly here because I want to try and build a community around GameMaker Server. I'm not at all sure whether this is the right way to do it, but I thought it'd be worth a try. This also ties in to the fact that I need to pay for the server each month, and I'm hoping that the site starts to be visited more often so the ad revenue gets to a point where it's actually a reasonable amount. Note: I'm not asking anyone to game the system by, for example, clicking on an ad just to support me. Believe me, it does not help :)

Size I need your help This might be a vary easy fix, but I looked all over the place and I didn't find anything.
In my game I made a chat menu, but when it opens it doesn't close when I leave the room (I have it set up for a chat room that opens the chat box when you enter and it was made to shut it too, but it didn't work) PLEASE HELP!!

You can show/hide the chat box using gms_chat_toggle ;)
