Whew, this is going to take a bit to get used to. On the plus side, the quick reply has a more robust WYSIWYG editor.

...Alright, the Elf City update lured me back to RS over a year ago.

So how many warning points till one busts? Was it necessary to put them in such an obvious place? It's like you're trying to do a sword of Damocles-ish scare tactic. I reckon most very old users like myself don't even remember what those points refer to.

 

The blank avatar face is a bit annoying, it's everywhere. I'm sure some people just don't want to put anything in their picture square. Now we're doomed to look at those grey squares forever...

 

Apart from that it looks good from the little I've seen.

 

Edit: I just noticed. No more join date written? That's not cool. It's always nice to know.

2480+ total

Neither of those changes were specifically made by us, they were in the software already. Is there not a "More Details" button if you click your warning points on each warning showing you why they were given?

I like most of the update but with a lot of things being moved around it's going to take a while to get used to.

I think its a shame that people's join date is no longer written under their name/avatar it was one of those pieces of information that told you a bit about the user at a cursory glance. Also, my one warning point is going to shame me and irritate me forever now + it was over a year ago! Do they not ever expire?

 

Having said all that negative stuff though generally this is awesome and I'm already enjoying the new features.

Well I know it's a little more than glancing but you can just mouseover their name and the popup tells you their join date.

 

Currently warnings don't expire automatically, but I think we can have them do that (in earlier versions of IPB we could not, so none of them have expiry dates).

There is an expire feature, but that's not something we utilize. We have our own record-keeping system. For example, if you were to break the rules again, we wouldn't ban you because you now have "x amount of points." We always consider how much time has elapsed since your previous offense before dealing out punishments.

 

But we're not using the built in point expiration system because honestly it kind of confuses things. And for us it's easier to look at points as how many times you have been warned. Again, it doesn't factor into punishments, but it's easier for us to manage. So if you did break the rules again, we'd easily see that you have 1 warn point and thus you have a record topic somewhere (and we document everything in the same user topic). So then we could find that topic and add onto it. But if you have 0 points because 1 expired, our first thought would be that you have a clean record, even though that's not true.

 

Honestly it's kind of hard to explain to someone that isn't a moderator since we have a very specific system :x So sorry if this isn't making much sense. Ultimately, just remember that we don't have a limit and we don't really use a point system. It's NOT as if 5 points = suspension and 10 points = permanent ban. That's not how we work. Just think of it of 1 point = 1 time you've been contacted.

 

Our aim is not to shame you or make you feel bad. But my understanding is that the option is built into the system like this:

 

Allow all other non-protected groups to see their own warn points and reasons [Yes] [No]

 

Right now that is set to "Yes." But if we were to set it to "No," you would no longer see your warn points, which is good (for people who don't like it). But at the same time, you'd no longer have access to the reasons behind your warnings. And we feel it's beneficial for you guys to be able to keep track of your own warnings over time.

Mouse-hovering this makes something weird...

(And hopefully profile pictures besides last posted names turn into avatars instead... my picture's squashed at the moment. o_O)

That's because profile picture = Avatar now.

IP.Boards 3, right?

It should be possible to make it appear under our avatar, with the rest of the info.

I'm certain it's possible, it's just not a huge concern right now, might get around to it though. :) Top stuff that needs fixing at the moment is link colours when editing a post, item/equiment builder sets and friends list pagination.

Where are the notes located that we had before on our profiles?

 

They might have gone, I didn't know they were being removed but I can't see them. It was probably removed because not that many people used the feature. I do have backups of our data though so if you had anything crucial in there you need I should be able to find it.

Nah it's fine :) I was just curious to where they might have gone.

I'm looking into that right now.

My suggestion: remove the Like daily quota.

I mean, seriously?

We don't want to completely discourage people from posting. :) The idea is to use it when you strongly agree with a post but don't have anything to add to merit your own comment. This isn't really meant to be like Facebook where you can go around liking everything.

I'm already finding that when I click on the button to get to the latest unread post in a topic, then I finish and go somewhere else on TIF/the internet, the icon is staying illuminated.
