Forum Issues

[Darkwing]

So, forum motion did it again where they installed updates, but they ain't so great. for one you'll notice the calender button, and some of the buttons just don't work

[Darkjedi]

Dang it!

Have they ever heard of testing the updates before administering them? GOSH!

[Darkwing]

looks like they must have fixed things

[Insane Crayon]

I like the new memberlist update, but the other updates might have to be tested to see if they are worth it. So don't be surprised when you see something new.

Multiquote is too complicated for my simple mind.

[Earthdeath]

i haven't tried it yet

What you do is just click the multi-quote on any post and when you go to post what you want to say, it will automatically haven the post quoted and waiting, like so.

Oh... I see.

[Insane Crayon]

Quite helpful I think

[Shemuel]

Yeah. Especially for the inexperienced ones who don't know code.

[Earthdeath]

Yeah, it is quite a helpful feature.

So anyone spotted any other glitches with the forum updates yet?

[Insane Crayon]

Not really, and I has 20 points!! That is an odd little feature.

[Shemuel]

hmmm... weird. It looks as if it's just a post counter....starting from now.

[me naam is m]

what points?

[Shemuel]

Look at the stuff below your avatar. You're on 21 atm.

EDIT: this is what forummotion says:
"The points system is a system based on different criteria and allowing users to evaluate themself or even to compete.

Activate it in Modules -> Point System

How are points calculated?
- Points generated by the number of posts
- Points generated by the number of topics created
- Points generated by the number of friends that the user has
- Reputation points
- Points generated by the registration date of the member
- Points generated by the number of message on his profile"

[Philly Homer]

How the heck do you get points?

[Shemuel]

Look at my last post. It has been edited.

[Philly Homer]

Huh. The points thing seems a bit superfluous then.

[Galaxy-Scarface]

i dont really like this points system. maybe just reputation, but not all the other stuff.

[me naam is m]

hah, i win.

[Earthdeath]

win what?
in amount of points?

[me naam is m]

yes. dang, i'm a spammer

[Insane Crayon]

We are just testing it out so it's not going to be a permanent thing.

[me naam is m]

got more funny little gadgets to test?

[Darkjedi]

Yeah, I don't think we'll keep the points system.

Note: I'm just about to get on the road!

See you guys Monday! (Or Sunday evening)

Road trip time!

Oh, and I might scan some pictures from the trip and let you guys see them after I get back.

[me naam is m]

i see the points system has gone

[Galaxy-Scarface]

good, because it sucks.

[me naam is m]

aww, don't be so negative

[Galaxy-Scarface]

i think it would be good to have a reputation system, where you get reputation points if someone says you're good or bad on your profile page, but that's the only way you can get them.

[Insane Crayon]

Time to test the reputation system

[Shemuel]

You vote on each post?

Do we really need these things?

[Insane Crayon]

Hm.. I don't like..

[Earthdeath]

Ok, it seems the points and rep systems are pointless, especially the rep system, as we just post what we think.
Im removing it unless anyone has any objections?

[Philly Homer]

Very good. I don't really see the point of that rep system.
