MW Board Upgrades
I have noticed that some nice stuff has been activated and added. Since i don't see a thread around here i thought i open one for Gods Toy so that he can explain in this topic what the "upgrades" are about and how they work.
If it's no good idea just say so.
Feel like Neo now from the Matrix: "Hmmmm.... Upgrades....."
Hi,
yep I suppose it's a good idea to start a thread...
Only thing I would say is, some of this stuff is still in testing and if too many bugs are found some may be killed.
when I get home i'll give you the low down on those little green dots that popped up last night.
unles you already know and want to save me the post!
posting from my pda is slow at best.

Cool, just let us know what it's all about. I find it very interesting.
Maybe i should change the topic title into "MW Board upgrades, testing and bug reports" because i think i found another little bug.
If you are looking who's online you can see what the members are doing. I have noticed that sometimes it shows for example: "God's Toy viewing thread Smilies" and another moment it shows "God's Toy viewing thread" without the threads title.

Nope that's not a bug as such, that is a user permissions thing, maybe I was posting in a thread that is not meant for member viewing EG, mod talk
For your info: Guests can not see who is on line (or all forums for members posting) Members can see all regular forums, members can also see other members who are on line but only those who agree to be seen. ('Invisibility' for those who don't), Mods can see more detailed info like IP's on each member and so on. Admins see everything, every address followed and/or whereabouts of everyone. (even invisible members)

Ah those guys,
Well OK what they are for is showing 'appreciation', A way for you to say 'Thanks' to a member for a really good post or thread.
All you do is click the Scales icon on the right and (if you like) add your private comment for that member to read.
You can view the Appreciation that you have received in your User CP (User Control Panel) where it is displayed at the bottom of the User CP page. Here you will see the latest Appreciation that you have received.
The new little green dot you see is your starting rep icon, the more positive appreciation points you receive, the more icons will be shown here.
Also things like being a member for X amount of time or having X amount of posts all build up your 'appreciation' giving powers, this is called Rep-power.
So lets say a year from now you have 200 ' 'Appreciation points' built up, now when you give points you give more per time.
This leads to positive postings and member rewards down the line.
You where the first person to receive some 'points' yesterday for your Full Moon song, my way of saying Thanks!
This is still in testing BUT please everyone feel free to use it so we can see how it's working out! Also remember it's meant for rally good threads and posts your saying 'thanks' for, not for every post you read and like!

Okay, now that's a really cool feature. Thank you again for the information Peter and of course for the Appreciation points you gave me. I just checked it out. Let's hope that this feature stays if it doesn't show bugs.
I'll keep, as the rest of our friends, an eye open to see if we're running into some other bugs and provide you with feedback.
Hey, how about 'showing me some love' with some points for posting all this!!!
No really, I want to make sure it's working my end.

Alright, I just gave you "some love".I hope you recieved the points.
Woohoo I got points!
Oh and hold your mouse over the Green icons to see a note on how your doing points wise.
Well it's working and that's a good thing.
Anyone need help?
Let me know, also please test it out!!!

lol.... That's great!!! This is rather fun you know.
I have never been posting away that much on a forum before in a couple of days. This means you are doing a really excellent job here my friend.
Woohoo!
Yey for me!
Ha!

Hi Peter i've got an idea........How about having a "Thought For The Day" column where any member can post a thought ,once it has been posted it stays for a day and the next day the column is open for posting any other member or the same member who posted earlier can post yet another thought......the member's name should be displayed under the column and if other member's like it they can show there appreciation via the visitor's message option
It's an idea for sure but it's a lot of work to do when the same thing could be achieved by a simple thread called 'Thought For The Day' where it's posted in once per day.
Thanks for the idea!

Thanks for appreciating my idea but i still feel it would be good if it was like that rather than in a thread.....well may be not for now but after all these bugs and stuff are sorted out.....
P.S i couldn't find the you rock smiley or it isn't there?
hmm you know I dont think we have one... must get that little guy.
