Ill have a look here this morning again.


#273

OK yaā€™ll, I attempted to lock down the listening booth for new users. Any with 30 posts (Trust Level 1) should be able to create a new post. Anyone who is at Trust Level 0, a new user, should only be able to see and reply to posts. Anyone want to test this for me? As I said in the LB, any veteran users can PM me to edit their accounts if theyā€™ve not met the requirements.


#274

Definitely been seeing a lot more of that. I have no shame in giving those posts a real opinionā€¦ and then usually they never come around again. If anything it just creates litter threads.

nice work on the post limit @relic :slight_smile:


#275

ā€œLitter threadsā€, very accurate. Big thanks to @relic for sorting it all out. Post count is surprisingly effective because it asks to put some effort (30 posts? Iā€™m outta here!). Nothing against people sharing their music but such forum sections often attract these self-promo gurus that go through every forum on the internet constantly looking where to shovel their gratis hits.

Notable offender: (three threads in a row, fucking really? lol)

Relic fixed that, but weā€™ll keep one of those posts as a testamentā€¦


#278

By the looks of things they havent posted much and the new rules should stop them cold.


#279

just stopping in to rep how fuckinā€™ AWESOME the messaging system is here. It literally pisses on the ashes of the old forum

but real talk:

can mods see all messages from users?

because Relic might find out how secretly gay I am for him

When opening a post I am not too keen on the white flashing / fading post thing. I like the effect but I wish it was not so piercingly white maybe make it a different shade of grey (needs to be darkened imo). Thanks for any consideration on this. :slight_smile:


#281

Agreedā€¦ it has potential, but as is, it is a bit lame.


#282

The new site is absolutely gorgeous, great job IDMF staff!

Iā€™m a web developer, front end/ui ~ Javascript and Css
What youā€™ve built here is simply put, the best forum software Iā€™ve seen so far.

Iā€™m looking forward to being involved in the next stage of IDMForumā€™s evolution :heart:


#283

Sorry to repeat this if it has already been addressed, but how do we get the ability to edit our posts?


#284

@Jazzyspoon on your post try clicking the the ā€œā€¦ā€ that is to the right of the heart and the chain symbol, itā€™ll be the pencil symbol. It might also be something new users canā€™t do? There are soooo many freakinā€™ settings in this new softwareā€¦


#285

The quote tags donā€™t seem to work correctly. In some posts I see quotes, and I remember doing it before and it worked, but now when using the quote function or just putting simple quote tags, it doesnā€™t work for me.


#286

Just testing here.

Yea, I saw that too. We do need to update the software, there is a way to do it through our browser based admin tools (I think). But we need to make sure we download a backup. Probably inform Stu and make sure we get a response before we do anything.


#287

Why? What could go wrong?


#288

The great purge of 2019.

#290

hey so I still donā€™t know where the Movie Thread is located, it sometimes pops when a new answer is made, but not every time, and itā€™s not in the side room where I guess it should be

edit: lol, I had accidently muted it.
shame


#291

Great to have you back! Iā€™m sorry if this have been posted before, long thread. But you need to remove the stickys from the front-page-last-updated-thread-list or what ever you would call itā€¦
