I feel like 30 posts is still the right amount given where things are at right now.
I don't expect people will be posting in the newly included sections solely for the purpose of achieving the rank anyway (at least not more than already may be the case in previously included sections). For...
I think this is a good point - I'm working on some thoughts relating to some tweaks regarding the requirements so I'll consider this feedback as part of that and stay tuned.
Good idea, I've just enabled these.
It looks like we are not running the latest version of the shoutbox addon so I'll reach out to Mases and ask if he can upgrade it since he holds the license for it. Hopefully this can help resolve bugs we are experiencing with it at the moment.
I'm not entirely sold on the idea of including Forum Games, Roleplay, or Mafia forum posts within post count but in any case at the moment the ZD servers have been struggling and have ongoing recurring issues which are being investigated by the site staff so I don't want to push the load onto...
I don't really think we need a spoiler free and a spoiler specific forum for TotK - there is already a spoiler specific thread and new users joining are likely to post in the wrong section anyway so at the end of the day there is only so much we can do.
We could potentially temporarily turn on...
Unfortunately there is no capability for this.
Thanks for providing me with more detail via PM - I will look into what we can do with this.
We don't have any settings available to send threads from different forums to different shoutbox rooms. For now I have disabled them altogether but you...
When it comes to the ZD Legend/Champion Status for May/June I am happy to look at this on a case by case basis and to be flexible.
I also want to do whatever we can do keep things spoiler free here so people don't feel like they have to avoid coming here. I have just created a separate shoutbox...
I've added the Nintendo Switch Friend Code field to profiles, as for the exophase profile connection I am not sure if there is a huge amount of users that would be using this? To be honest this is the first time I am hearing of exophase, do many users here use it?
Both of the above I'll have...
I'm not sure that the resources required to create and maintain such an app balanced against its benefit would justify its creation.
I had a look into this and it seems that this functionality isn't something that is available or being considered by the Xenforo staff as indicated by their...
The only setting available through the shoutbox addon is this checkbox:
What I can do is disable the notifications altogether since it is mostly flooded with bots. Given the number of new members do people actually find the new member notifications useful? Their name will appear in the SB...
**** ****ty Ashitake whatthe**** :cool:
As for the reaction, I don't want there to be too many different types of available reactions for posts but if you have a suggestion what would be the emoji used?
I've done a search around the internet and on Xenforo's site and I can't find anything that has been created to change the way this works unfortunately, I agree that it is not ideal so hopefully they'll improve it in a later Xenforo update.
This is a very good point, I've raised a chat in the...
Do you mean for the shoutbox? I don't believe I have any desktop notifications enabled so I am not sure exactly where it is.
I believe that would have been in a different shoutbox addon. The current addon does not have support for marquee tags.
I've implemented support for a bunch of sites...
I think I've fixed this now so please let me know if it is still an issue.
I'm not entirely sure what your exact meaning was with this but I was also getting annoyed by how when you click a username it just @s the person instead of linking to their profile so I've made it so that when you...
In that case I'll send each of you the text from the respective posts and you can choose whether or not it is relevant to make any necessary adjustments and post it as advice directly relating to the OP instead of in response to the deleted post.
Posts that involved debate not relating or responding directly to the OP were removed as the Life Advice isn't a place for that kind of debate between others. Some posts also had points relating directly to the OP and those posts were dealt with by editing out the part from the debate and...
I'd just like to remind everyone here that people are free to have their opinion but please be respectful of each other in this thread and on this forum generally.
I fit in the camp that do not believe post count should be increased for posts made in Mafia, Roleplay, or Forum Games and I feel...
It looks like this has been suggested before but was not implemented due to a lack of interest. I'm sure it could technically be done but not sure if it would be worth the time it takes to actually implement it.
I've fixed this so it should be working again now.
Done and done.
I understand the sentiment that the Skyward Sword HD forum might not be so necessary but I've decided to give it a shot anyways to hopefully generate some more Zelda related discussion topics - though I imagine the forum probably won't last so long after the game has been...
Due to the size of our forum subforum moderators aren't really necessary with the exception of Mafia as the timing of the games needs to be managed well so that there are not clashes or over-saturation of the number of games being played at one time. If there are rule issues in any part of ZD...
There is a latest blog widget on the forum index page already but that just shows latest threads posted there.
One good option you could use is the "watched forums" feature.
Go into a blog (the forum which contains it) which interests you and select "Watch" at the top of the listed threads...
Perhaps I misread your particular suggestion before. In this particular case I'd know who is posting the thread anyway so in such a case couldn't I more easily just post it for them? The only difference would be whether or not they'd be able to respond anonymously to the responses received by...
I can see this being abused pretty easily honestly and while we can track IP addresses there are easy ways for people to get around that.
I don't really want to create a whole subforum just for AMA threads because I doubt it will be used for a substantial amount of time (since it is basically...
I've now reduced this to 20 seconds but don't want to reduce it further due to spam. You guys don't see it but we do have lots of bots getting caught in the spam filter so I'd like to still have this layer of defence in place too.
I've added these on now.
Fixed your link...
Are there specific themes you see this as an issue in? It might take me a bit of time to go through them all but if you have one that is really bothering you I can try and make it a priority. Selecting colours is really not my strong point though as I am colourblind so I may ask for some help...
I think this is a fair discussion to have regarding reactions in the MD. I certainly would agree that laugh reacting to someone's legitimately held beliefs is not in the spirit of constructive and good-faith discussion or in the spirit of the forum rules in terms of respecting other members.
At...
I think this would be a good idea so I've gone through and added some extra moderation permissions to each blog as below:
Use inline moderation on threads / posts
Stick / unstick thread
Lock / unlock threads
Manage (move, merge, etc.) any thread
Delete any thread
Manage any tags
You'd most...
I just tried to test this out using Chrome on my Mac (I don't have a PC) and could not replicate the issue. Is this just happening in one specific browser (if so which one?) or do you find it happening in multiple browsers? In any case Mases will hopefully be updating the forum to the latest...
Heya guys I’ve added the new forum for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity :)
Since I’m on my phone on the train ride to work I may have missed an option or two when creating the forum (though I’m pretty sure I added the Shoutbox notifications properly) so please let me know if you notice any...
Yeah basically it isn't an option in the software at this point. I don't see it as a necessity or priority and disagree with the assertion that anyone's posts "need" a lot of swearing.
Perhaps having some of the social group posts appearing in the SB wouldn't be too bad though I imagine not everyone would be on board with this. It could be quite subjective as to which ones should get notifications and which shouldn't.
I agree that it would be good to change this and I'd like...
I'll start by saying that I think people should be able to make suggestions here as they see fit. I think it is better to give the benefit of the doubt here that suggestions are in good faith. If enough people disagree with a suggestion (as is obvious in this case) then it will be discounted -...
Obviously as this is a Zelda based forum the most core sections of the forum are clearly the Zelda forums in my opinion. Beyond that, I don't think that any other part of the forum is particularly more or less important than any other, be that Mafia, Roleplay, General Discussion or whatever...
The shoutbox is a paid add-on so the best I can do here is let the add-on creator know that it is in demand for this feature and they will decide whether or not to implement it in a future release.
I've updated this name given we don't have subscriptions anymore with the shop gone. Thanks for...
I don't really know much about roleplaying at all. Is there anything in place now to prevent people just doing that on their own for their threads?
I'm not so sure I think this is the best solution, or that there is really any huge issue the majority of the time with the way it is handled...
It is possible for me to opt people out of individual forums by just banning them from viewing that forum through the admin control panel. If anyone has an issue with a particular forum for whatever reason then message me and we can work it out one on one.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've done some looking around for ways to do this and have installed an add-on to make this possible.
Currently, I have set it for now at one blog per 24 hours. You can see the restriction in place at the bottom right of the below image. I am open to discussion as to...
Unfortunately due to the way XenForo is made this isn’t so easy. I’ll keep this issue in mind and keep my eye out for any plugins that address this issue well if they pop up in the future but I can’t make any guarantee. Given that a large amount of users use mobile and would struggle loading...
There isn't any automatic process which would award a medal to users who have been around for x amount of time unfortunately so I think this would be difficult to manage.
I have the following notice plastered at the top of the forums for people who have made less than five posts:
I just...
I reached out for suggestions in the volunteer chat too and @Azure Sage gave the suggestion Creative Works there also. I think it sounds good to me so let's go with that.
I've moved the how did you find ZD thread but not the funny conversations one as it isn't necessarily limited to the shoutbox only.
That could be something we could clear up in the welcome PM. I'll discuss with the staff.
I've reduced it to 30 seconds.
I've removed it. Should probably refresh them at some point. If anyone has particular suggestions feel free to private message me and maybe I'll add some of them at some point ;)
That's a good idea, I do think that we could do this better. It is hard to set down a number in terms of...
I have added the reaction @Rubik.
In regards to the GKA related discussion I think that the communication regarding the "cancellation" could have been handled much better. I'll take the blame for having not been around much to oversee pretty much anything for the past few months and my absence...
