New forum

TheGypsy

Hi @Sven,

Aren't you planning to give the forum a bit more of a social touch? A thank you or like button on each others post would be a fancy little thing to have.
I know that we are mostly geeks and don't care about such vanity things but c'mon. The forum is like this for ages. So I wouldn't even dare to mention a new design or something like that...

Or is it only me who can't stand consistency?

Sven

Well oldschool is fine for me. However Im open for ideas if it's just styles/skins and addons to the existing forum platform.

TheGypsy

Yeah, I see from the amount of comments that you aren't the only one Anyway, I've looked up the plugin directory and this is what I found as useful looking plugins:

Thanks plugins:
https://open.vanillaforums.com/addon/kudos-plugin
https://open.vanillaforums.com/addon/thankfulpeople2-plugin

Rating plugins:
https://open.vanillaforums.com/addon/rating-plugin
https://open.vanillaforums.com/addon/voting-plugin

The skins are a personal thing so I didn't even dive into them. However, if there is a Xmas theme...

Sven

added that rating + thankful plugin ... lets see if it is used, else i might remove it again

Thanks for adding it. I use Invision software for my forums, it isn't free but only small yearly cost. I am not sure if they do a plugin to import from this software to theirs, but I suspect they might.

BTW, date posting seems messed up.

Ya, in some threads posts are in random order not by date/time

Sven

hmm what post?

should be fixed now

Does clicking the up/down vote buttons work for anyone?

Sven

working for me

shaun

Curious if its working for anyone else?

Not sure if its only working for admins or something as I have tried to upvote the SERE v2 thread to test but nothing happened.

Voting doesn't work for me either.

ForexGuru

looks like voting giving error on mobile site @Sven

redrays

Not working for me either. The 'thanks' button was working when it was enabled.

Deeeeeeee

@Sven - There are a lot of add-ons. I'm looking through them for cool stuff. I can already say more Emojis! That's always a good thing. Haven't yet found any add-ons for that, so far. Thanks button was def a good addition.

TheGypsy

Let's see if they work at all I haven't had the chance to try the thanks button but the voting doesn't work for me either. I hope that this thing won't mess up your weekends plan Sven!

Sven

naw, I will look on it once i got time...not that important i guess.

Sven

@TheGypsy can you try again to rate threads.

TheGypsy

Yeah @Sven, It can wait. It's for fun anyway.

I can rate this thread up to +1and down from +1 to 0 in the main discussions. I can't go down to -1.

I can rate every individual comments in this thread up to +1 or down to -1 and back to 0 if I need to. However, I can't rate it to +1 and then to -1 or vica versa. It only allows me to go back to 0.

Deeeeeeee

Snow for Christmas! @Sven, that's always fun.

Sven

your wish is my command
