New Forum Features

I'd be inclined that way just because once you have so much stuff in the sidebar it makes the posts quite long. Though I guess it's not a massive thing either way.

The other thing I was wondering is does the app let you customize the achievements? because logically it seems like 'poster with the moster' should be for the person with the most posts. Also as well as an achievement of 25 posts you could do one for 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 etc.

Every time you guys call it a sidebar it really throws me off. Well for a moment until I grow a brain and figure out what you mean. Though I have to admit calling it a sidebar makes more sense than calling it a postbit which is the proper term.

I think it is possible CW. We will look into it.

Yep, it sure is! We'll be adding more achievements in future - I just added the couple that are available now to test the system.

Another thing I've noticed is that posts in downtown tend to be just 1 word or 1 sentence whereas when people post in a roleplay they often write a full page. So on that score I think posting in a roleplay should be 50 points. Among other things as well if the site didn't have roleplays on it to act as carrots and draw people in then the chances are it would never get any new members - not unless you changed the name and rebranded it as simply a chat forum. Whether the app is customizable to that level I don't know, I am simply throwing this out there on the chance the possibility exists.

I believe that is something we've looked into and there is no way to customize it to make posts in a certain section worth more.

Hey folks! Just an update to remind you that the RPActivity feature is still being troubleshot and so should be considered a 'demo' feature at this point, so don't freak out if points start changing.

When we're done setting up the feature, it will be reset for a fresh start.

The RPActivity has been temporarily disabled for fine tuning. The staff, with me helping(and by helping I mean being flogged into submission and commanded to do things), will have it back up and running as soon as possible.

Expect a couple of new things coming as well. And though I'm not at liberty to say what they are, I will say they are pretty cool.

Also, there is a new feature. You may now tag members in threads and posts. In a post just type an @ in front of the username and that member will get a notification. Please note that as this is a new feature, the staff is still getting everything running correctly. But as always, they would love to hear your feedback.
