Newspost Integration
We're working on a system that will integrate the newsposts on the site and the news here. That way, you can either *gasp* scroll down on the site, or just keep an eye on the news forums when you check the boards, and you'll always get the news as it gets posted.
I think this will be much better than the old system, where news usually was posted to either the boards or the site, but not both. When it was posted to the site, few people noticed it, and when it was posted to the boards it got lost amid all the active threads. This should hopefully solve both those problems.

Re: Newspost Integration
Sounds good to me. I always hated missing news when it disappeared off the bottom of the forums...

Re: Newspost Integration
Yea. We don't want to be faceless masses.
A quick fix of this problem would be much appreciated.
And this avatar-on-right-side is throwing me off, it'll take me lots of time to get used to it.
EDIT: didn't know where to put this: What about 'that typos thread'? Do we start one here or is it passe?

Re: Newspost Integration
Okay, here's what happened to the avatars/signatures: I'd set up a second set of permissions for once we have the subscription service, and I'd enabled avatars and signatures there, but not on regular users. Avatars are now enabled for everyone... however, I remind you that using other people's copyrighted images is generally not so good, so please choose your new avatars carefully.
Also, I think I'm going to leave signatures off for regular users until we do have the subscribers system... they're not THAT necessary for identification, they tend to interrupt the flow of reading the conversations, and a lot of people use them for advertising. I think that makes them something that should be a perk that goes with excessive service or a paid account, I'm afraid, though I could very well change my mind about that later.
The typos thread is fine, go for it. The avatar on the right thing throws me off as well, it's part of this board style and will be different once we put up the new skins.

Re: Newspost Integration
There are new skins. That's the extent I'm allowed to divulge at this juncture. Rest assured, once the new skins are complete, you'll be the first ones to know.finalcarrot wrote:Thanks! And tell us more about these new skins...
