Full Version: Second! ( Forum Features Thread)
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Because sometimes I wonder if you guys will forever stay in that one thread when you've got an entire forum to do things.

So to make it a little easier to keep track of what improvements are in the works, I'll list them here.

Other admins/moderators feel free to add items to this list or to change them to strikethrough with the date completed so that we know what has been implemented.

* Emotes
* Rich Editing
* Staff Election
* Forum Logo and Banner - submissions open 2015-04-04
* Spoilers Added 4-4 2015
* Alerts Cannot add due to incompatibilities with 1.8.
Bump with more things to be added. Only two things, granted.
* Create a new dedicated RP thread (and possibly one for OOC) and notify the old threads
* Allow normal users to create new threads (currently this is only possible in the User Created Content subforum)

* Make quote pyramids not the default behavior (a la Chucklefish Forums)?
* Tapatalk support?
* Display user ratings given to posts (and possibly modify the daily limit)?
* User pings in a way that doesn't rely on an alerts system?

-RP is staying on CF forums, as it is a method of getting new members here.
-No. It is set up like this so there aren't a ton of topics, to keep discussion centralized.
-It's two quotes now, rather than the 5 previous. It can be reduced to one, but having it be 2 is easier
-WHY ISN'T IT WORKING IT SHOULD BE WORKING
-There isn't a daily limit as far as I know on rating, I need to double check. No idea how to display it, might need to get that "likes" plugin installed
-Impossible.

* Fair enough, I guess. Just make sure that's clear in the RP thread, then.
* Possibly a good thing, given activity level. Then, at least, sub-forums for non-discussion things (e.g. forum games)?
* Oh, it's already reduced. Yeah, two should be fine.
* ?????
* Well originally it was five per day, not sure if that's already been removed or not. Plugin sounds good, possibly just add that to replace the ratings/reputation system entirely, because everyone having their rep score displayed on all their posts seems unnecessary.
* You can have threads alert you by PM so I hoped the same could be done for quotes and pings.

-Tapatalk plugin is installed, but doesn't work for some reason.
-Limit of rep has been made unlimited.
-Still don't think it's possible.
SUDDENLY SURGE.

Regarding the RP thread, I understand that I didn't use it much and we still want to draw people in, but keeping it on the CF forums bars me from ever taking part, and more importantly it leaves our only source of activity on CF in an area that is unlikely to draw new people in at all, never mind to our shenanigan ridden main forum. Can I propose that after a few months, maybe towards the end of July, we reassess the benefits of keeping our RP thread on a totally separate forum.

On that note I thought we were going to get a shenanigan RP thread separate from the main one so all the sticks in the mud had somewhere to hang out.
