Forum Changes - 26th July 2014

[Biggs]

not truly reflecting on how good a contributor someone is.

...like "total number of posts" reflects it now? There's no foolproof system to award people for quality posting, because its always in the eye of the beholder unless you think my posts are always quality, then you're 100% correct and should be given a pony.

I was more referring to the Likes/Thanks. It'll be like girls on facebook fishing for likes/positive comments when they upload pictures of themselves.

I don't think the titles matter that much to worry about it - it's just that the default system is to use trophy points rather than post count, so that's what we've got to work with.

That camera whore @ethybubs doesn't need further encouraging to get more likes on his posts...

Is it retroactive, or starting from zero at the new forum?

Basically what i am asking is do i need to go and start removing thanks from @ethybubs previous posts, or just stop giving them in future?

 

[MattW]

I believe it is retroactive.

If you remove a single thanks from one of my posts I'll upload the video of you and @ChinamanSpin reenacting broke-back mountain.

I just went to the testing site and saw this :-

Members Online Now
Total: 5 (members: 0, guests: 2, robots: 3)

Who are these robots ? ? ?

 

[MattW]

Search engines usually - the testing forum is starting to come up in searches.

Is there any expected date from which we could use New Forum

 

[MattW]

We're still working on things to get everything ready for the move.

I'm currently targeting the weekend of the 26th-27th July - but we won't make the move until everything is in place.

Make sure you give us some notice. I'd - I'd like one last look at the old place before we leave.

 

[lion100lion]

Yeah....

By the way, if anyone on here is or knows a developer who knows XenForo and could help us port it, let us know along with a rough quote.

...I would like to be the one that burns the Ashes 13 forum in a furious fire before the lights are switched off.
