Changes to the Site [Good News]

First of all I'd like to personally thank Icy for making some suggestions on how to improve the site. His knowledge of forumotion has helped a lot.

Changes So Far [This list will change]:
1. Moderators and Admins now have usertitles stating their status.
2. We now have a quick reply option [thank god] at the bottom of the page
3. Typo's in sub-forum names and descriptions have been fixed. I personally think that many of the sub-forums could be done away with, and replaced with stickies within other sub-forums, but I'm not about to go that far, that isn't my place.
4. Added a FREE chatbox.
5. + a bunch of other stuff that I don't fully understand xD

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MAKE SUGGESTIONS!


SHOKO:
If there is something wrong with any of the changes made, please feel free to make that apparent and to change them back.

No problem

1. I think you may be talking about the "Colorized Usernames Enabled" thing which can be found by going to the panel "Users & Groups" and "User Settings". If not then ignore this...

This will change the color of the users names according to groups. If you go to groups and see that some of the names are different colors then thats what will show up( if you see mod green then whoever is added to the mod group will have a green username). If you want to change the colors then edit the group by pressing the gear and changing the color at "Group Member’s Color:". Then fill the "Color Group Members ?:" as a yes and now you will have that color for the mods or whatever. sorry if thats confusing but it only changes the color of the member you are. and I think normal members will have a color that we have now.

2. Sorry I have not found a way to turn this off. I don't have a problem with it either. It might bother people who have a slow computer. but I don't think there is a way to turn it off.

3. Suggestions...

A. Make a repost system for future references when brawl comes out...

1. Go to Panel
2. go to General at the top
3. Click reposts
4. enable it for members

B. For a couple weeks now they have made an update to the post system.

1. Go to Panel
2. Go to general at the top
3. Click "Configuration:
4. Scroll down till you see "Messages" and click yes for "Activate extended message editor"

1. Alright, tried it and it worked, however, all of the admin's are also under the moderator group, so it made all of us the same color. I decided to turn it off for the time being.
A. I can't seem to find 'reposts' under 'General'. All I see are Configuration, Homepage, Rules and FAQ, Word Censors, Newsletter, ChatBox and Reports.
B. Done

Do you have an answer for #4 [I really don't want to try this without confirmation] or an opinion for #5?

Make sure you have the panel on advance and then go to reports. set it for members then "no" for self reports and "yes" for Report edit by users.

for #4. I have had the chatbox on my forum since October and I haven't had any payments....

for #5 I think you should ask shoko about that since you are making a forum that doesn't allow others...

Lookin good Leves, you're keepin this place alive =D

thx leve (and other mods) i apreciate the work you are putting in to this site. as a reward, ill try to go easy on you when were playin brawl

hm...for some reson i cant type in the chat box

^You have to login in the upper right, and then a typing box will appear in the lower right.

Icy, another question: Is there any difference whatsoever between announcements and stickies? On most forums, an announcement is something that is posted at the top of every single sub-forum, but I've noticed that on forumotion announcements don't go beyond their assigned sub-forum [the exact same duty of a sticky].

No, I don't think there is really a difference between sticky and announcement. But if want want something to go everywhere you can make a thread and then use the split tool on it to make copies of it on the forum. Or you could just copy and paste a new thread...

P.S. I like the new format but the icons are in a dif. lang.
If you need it changed back then PM me and I'll give you the directions

an announcement simply..well.....says announcement by the topic lol. thats really it. its there to just let people know whats really important

Wow....I've been gone for 7 days and look at what's happened....Good job.

LOL!
Yup I've helped out a lot!

yea, weve done a lot of stuff. i changed the layout and made the banners and stuff like that and leve and icy did the chatbox and quick replys.
