Forum Upgrades

[Ezrahauden]

Well, I love all the changes. Thanks for the hard work fellas.....it looks awesome!

Is it ever gong to get fixed? I thought the site was closed down at first, then accidently clicked on an old link that had /forums at the end. If it wasn't for that, I might have never known the site was back up.

No, never. Sorry I was expedient enough for you.

It's fixed, I will address everything else in the coming weeks. I have an impossible amount of work to catch up to in the coming weeks in RL as well.

The site is very maneuverable now.

I thinks its its bright and refreshing. I do miss the arcade though

 

[TheBestPlayersPlay]

I think our viewer/postership is down due the directory issue with the main page

Nothing to do with it. It is down because twitter suspended our account due to some asshat reporting it as impersonating the browns. Trying to get it reinstated.

 

[PlaygroundLegend]

Wow.. thats awful... What asshat would do that?

Probably someone who was BANNED

 

[TheBestPlayersPlay]

Yah pretty sure I know who ... I won't name names, don't want to get anyones panties in a bunch.

I'm over on AVS Forum now and then, and they have a nice feature.

It's a Like button on the right side of every post and if you hit it, then it shows up below the post as such.

Basically a way to say "I agree" or since AVS is a tech site often sought out for help, it's also used to say thank you. All can see without creating another post.

May tidy up some threads as it would cut down the quoted "I agree" posts. Not that I feel things are cluttered now, but sometimes all I really want to do is let everyone know I agree with what was said and that's it.

See pics.

No hurry of course, just a thought.

Thanks again for all of your work Gabe. The transition went well a few weeks back and it's humming now.

If there's a simple way to hashtag all of our auto-tweets with #ClevelandBrowns, wouldn't that do it? Then the Twitter handle could simply be Barking Hard? It is a catchy name after all.

Probably an obvous 2 cents on my part of not that easy to do.

 

[TheBestPlayersPlay]

Ocon yah, it already does add the tag #Browns automatically to the auto tweets. I want to change it to Barking Hard but I need them to take it out of suspension first. I am waiting on an email back from them.

As far as that likes system, I like it. Not sure what it is or where they got it though. If you can find out that would be stellar. Also not sure what version of VB they are using. A lot of the good stuff costs money.

 

[TheBestPlayersPlay]

I added a new thanks mod ...still not simple and clean like the one on the avs forums though.

 

[OconRecon]

I'm thinking the Thanks function will do it. Worth watching it for a bit too see.

Again, thanks for all you do.

 

[hammertime]

thanks but no thanks to the thanks button. the reps is the way to go, the less public sucking off the better.

Public sucking off not your thing...check. :tomato:

 

[hammertime]

That didnt sound right. Lol.

 

[OconRecon]

Twitter feed working. Nice!!
And I think the Thanks button is a nice little addition still.

 

[TheBestPlayersPlay]

I will stick this in the general section. I will get to some of the requests eventually.

 

[Enigmatic Evil]

One thing I'll note gabe, is when you link text, rather than just copying and pasting a link. The text remains the same colour so it doesn't look like anything is linked.

Not a huuuge thing (I'm pretty sure I am the only one who does this) but just something I noticed.

 

[madmadworld]

any news ? about shout box ?

 

[TheBestPlayersPlay]

sorry messing with stuff trying to get it to work. forgot to turn it back on.

 

[TheBestPlayersPlay]

Added twitter feed to the sidebar. Let me know if there are issues. Seems like it might have slowed down the forum, could be my imagination. Play with it. If you collapse it perhaps that prevents it from loading and slowing it down. Let me know.
