22nd April 2011: Updates and New Features
Posted: 22 Apr 2011, 12:32
Hello,
Updates
I have done some work in fixing up the template that we're using for the forum. This update has included a few bug fixes and a number of very large simplifications. There shouldn't be very much noticable on the user end.
In time, I hope to move to a nicer template that complements the template for the main site. However, I'm waiting on other things happening before I'll do that.
New Feature
A new feature has been added to the forum: the ability to 'thank' a poster for a particular post.
Newly registered users don't have access to this feature. Everyone else does.
You can 'thank' a poster by clicking on the little "thumbs up" icon in the bar that sits atop each post. You cannot thank yourself, of course.
At present, the details of who thanked who isn't made public. In due course, this information may become available. It may also be used to give special permissions to users on the forum and may even replace the "post count" awards system that we presently use to assign 'ranks' to people.
At present, all it does is give us an indication of the posts you like.
