Paranoid Android Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 The only other board I use frequently is I.P and I like it more generally. The mobile version is good and easy to use so I'm happy about this change.And I agree about changing the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Cheers Keeno. I wasn't sure if Neil meant it wouldn't be happening because of the cost involved.Yeah, the mobile app is sold separately and nothing we would have any control of, so not something I could offer to staff / sponsors / supporting members for free for example. It costs $1.99 for everyone (but will also work for other forums using the same software). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Thread tagging (still very much undecided if I'll switch this on though)Definitely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Thread tagging was little more than a means for anonymous trolling. Leave it off boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 [noob]what is thread tagging?[/noob]UTFS.There was a time, not so long ago, when users had the ability to add "tags" to threads to make them easier to search for, ie you could add things like "drummer wanted" or "Lorelei" or whatever. Inevitably it was abused and every thread was tagged with things like "Nefarious Cunt" and "This band sucks" and "Lucky Rathen = wanker" and it was disabled again.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Lucky Rathen = wanker was always a favourite.Tagging usernames would be good though, to alert people of posts. This would be good in the quick questions thread, for instance if someone had question about TV's, they could tag Philkaline. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"mummy says we're good".The problem with them is that they were anonymous, which gave people free rein to troll / flame / be total dicks without any repercussions.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Aye, but if it wasn't anonymous. Like:I want to buy a new TV, @Alkaline any advice?That sort of thing. Then you would know it was me who posted it, and the next time alkaline logs in, he would have an alert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootray Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I have to admit the thread tags on the Toxic Distortion thread were epic. "mummy says we're good".I'm trying to think if that was me or not. I contributed quite a few to that thread, a number including their mothers I think.

Adam Easy Wishes Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I don't understand what's so bad about those tags? Yes, it's a space for trolls to anonymously be a dick but the anon nature makes it way funnier. If I recall they were limited to a thing at the bottom of the page, right? I don't see a problem even if they are full of shit, it's only a bit of fun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Maybe limiting tags to the thread creator would be a good middle ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Thet were fun to an extent (and i was as guilty as others in doing it) but they were nowhere near being used for what they were intended. The idea Jan suggested, if it's a feature that can be implemented, is a much better idea in my opinion.They shouldn't be anonymous at least so people can see who's actually being a dick. This forum has suffered too much from people being dicks in the past, quite a lot of them have fucked off now but it's a great opportunity to rebuild the site and user-base not make it worse again.

Neil Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Will there be a light version?The new skin on the web site is quite light actually (only the header and footer are dark). I'm afraid it will be a case of people having to like it as there is too much administrative overhead having multiple skins. Even having the two skins on the web site just now (light and dark) has proved to be a pain in the ass for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
