New forum?
First topic message reminder :
Would this be a good idea? If so, I'm completely ditching forumotion and going with some better software. We'll have our own site and everything. It'll be great. But If we do this, you guys have to advertise on the app. So what do you think? Yes or no?

Who said no? I want to know what they think. I don't want to move this if there's good cause not to.

Re: New forum?
My suggestions for the new forum:
Notifications: Like when someone quotes you or posts in a thread you are watching.
A "Like" button: Should be obvious what it's for. Like a post, "like" it! Don't make a "dislike" though, because that's just rude and mean.
Ranks: Kinda like our staff color system thing, but a little different. Like "New User", "User", "Active/Moderate User", "Well-Known User", "Moderator", "Administrator" ect. It can be displayed underneath the users avatar pic on posts and their profile. That way, new users or users who aren't familiar with EVERYONE can easily understand who's who and what they do. (accidental rhyme )
That's all I have right now, and I believe they can effect our new forum in a very efficient way. Especially for new users who you don't want getting confused and leaving right off the bat.

Re: New forum?
We need a hate button and a accuse of racism button and other button, just having a like button gets awfully boring and it givess the poster a boost in self asteem. If we add hate button we can tell the poster how we really feel about him or her also add an accuse of being a pussy button.

But like I said, that's straight up rude. And mean. We're a semi-friendly forum.

I think we should just set up that plus/minus thing that each post has onto the entire topic that is created.TheOrangeDart wrote:Deer wrote:We need a hate button and a accuse of racism button and other button, just having a like button gets awfully boring and it givess the poster a boost in self asteem.

already have notifications for posts on topics your watching, already have the like and dislike on the rep bar, which can be modified to basically ignore dislikes, already have ranks, there just different ranks

I want more clear more visual notification on the website itself, not in e-mail form. The more you make it easier to handle, the more people will like it. Having people check their e-mails to see notifications isn't the best way to make notifications.
The rep bar isn't the most easily understandable thing. In fact, I don't like the rep bar at all. It's easier to understand "User likes this" underneath the post they like. Again, the easier and most simple way is usually the best way people like to see it.
And because of our colored names, 2 people that were well respected here have left due to color changes. I say, screw colors. Just make it in a simple small text under the user's avatar picture.
We don't need some fancy looking visual thing to get peoples attention. Usually, the most simple way is the best way.

Will be done.
Do not know if I can do this
Will not be done. If you leave over your color, that won't change if I make the rank indicated by a usertitle.

Awesome
Well I guess if it can't be done, it can't be done.
Well, I guess that's a fair argument. But it will be easier to understand. If you see "Well-Know User" you instantly know "Oh, they're well-known on this website!". But if it's just color coded then new users (or maybe even seasoned users) will see a blue name and wonder "What does that mean?" and have to search for the color legend.
If we still go with colors, may I suggest that we NEVER change the color for that particular job? Like don't make moderators pink and then later change it to green. Like if a position is one color at the beginning then keep it that way the whole time forever. And if you do feel the need that it must be changed, post it in the "News" section.
But do what you think is best to make the forum user friendly and the most understandable.

Re: New forum?
Can you keep the theme of the new forum simple, or make a selection of themes like some other forums do?
