Ok, so I thought it was about time I updated some features on this board. It will just be minor alterations at the moment but some feedback would be great.
So far...
- I've adjusted the member rankings and titles so now:
0-49 posts = Newbie (1 star)
50-99 posts = Active Member (2 stars)
100-499 posts = Fan (3 green stars)
500-999 posts = Fanatic (4 blue stars)
1000+ = Groupie (5 red stars)
Is everyone happy with that? I thought the titles would be a bit more fun that just 'member', 'senior member' etc. The new titles are just what I could think of off the top of my head. If anyone has other suggestions which they think would be better please post them in this thread.
- Secondly, should I change the 'View the 10 most recent posts of this forum'? I can increase it by anything up to the 100 most recent posts? I was thinking of upping it to maybe 20-25? Thoughts?
- The last thing I was thinking of adding is the 'karma' feature. Essentially it's just a feature whereby you have the option to give a fellow forum member karma points which will diplay next to their username and rank. You might do this if, for example, someone makes a really interesting and/or useful post, provides files or links etc. I think it is also possible to subtract karma from people in the same way but I would encourage against this as on some other forums this kind of practice can lead to petty fights and is just generally a bit sad
Anyway there's a few ideas for now. Let me know what you think and please feel free to suggest anything else you would like to see implented into the board. I'll try to meet needs provided the software means the request is possible!
