new forum software.thank you ffg

By richsabre, in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game

thank you ffg- this is the best thing you could have done to get more users to this forum….and its great for people like me who dont want to go elsewhere as they are known best here

so thanks!

looking forward to being able to like posts….one suggestion….and this isnt at all influenced by my 3500+ posts ;) …but could we have forum rankings, such as

0-100 post = lazy hobbit

100-1000 = adventurous hobbit

1000-2000 = brave hobbit

2000-3000= fearsome hobbit

…you get the idea :)

rich

haha that would be cool. How do you know how many posts you have made?

In my experience, titles based on number of posts are generally a Bad Idea™ and just lead to flooding of posts without any substance (responses that say stuff like "me too!" and "good post" and nothing else)

Good Point. cangrejocangrejocangrejocangrejocangrejocangrejo

From ther first of July

oh, my mistake then, did not know … very nice

@khamul -there used to be a post counter, but thats just an estimate from going onto my posts list on my profile and multiplying the amount of posts per page by the page amount. its over 3500, but its at least that

@grandspleen - that is true, but its nice to have some sort of reward for loyal posting :)

rich

haha I only have 165 so far. But I never really post hardly at all though…..

I didn't know they updated it either… What is it that they updated?

well the forums do seem to actually load now which is a HUGE plus

Yeah its really nice it loads like 3 second for me now. Before it took like 2-3 min.

FFG is updating software on July 1st (i.e. not updated yet). They said the forums will be down a couple days, but no content will be lost. The LOTR Quest Log will get an update too.

See the article concerning this process here: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=4221

to little to late. The majority of the communities have long ago moved form this site. LoTR being a bit of exception as it is really active in relation to the other games, yet still a void compared to other sites. BGG is where most of the action is and for some games cardgameDB… still it is good to see that they are addressing what imo was a complete and total … epic proportions to the community, not having a community site that worked. I hope among the features is a report function, block function, and edit your own post function and a normal BBcode system so we can do proper quotes and stuff, favorite system would be nice, polls… just modern it up please! This could be a new era for FFG… do not screw us over again!

well here it is....what do we all think?

theres plenty of nice features, its quick which is the best thing, and i even got my member titles, which can be anything you want!

the profile feed doesnt seem to work for me....and for some reason i cannot like posts

rich

ps- im not particularly liking these warning points, and the fact they are so visible on the side....they surely arent that important to display

Edited by richsabre

I hate it. Only thing that i like is number of posts and the title thing. (pretty cool) otherwise the whole setup and new look I hate....

yeah and I can't like either. it says like "you have reached your maximum number of votes for the day" or something

WHAT IS THIS! They took my Beorn profile avatar away! Oh well. I guess I'll have to live with being a Stone Giant from now on. And Rich, how did you get those member title things?

ikr!!!! Gosh dangit my sweet Nazgul is gone too..... I guess i'll be this other cool looking guy. I'm Khamul when he was a person....

seems ok to me. as long as everything actually loads at a resonable rate i'll be satisfied

Finally a fast forum! Some theme things should be improved for readability (profile settings is horrible), but hey... not bad.

They may add it (and others) in the following days.

Looks great, but I am little sad they killed my avatar picture.

Yep, can't recall where my grumpy dude avatar was from, however, this image does quite accurately portray my mood whenever a rules question is asked that can be found with a quick perusal of the rules/FAQ :lol: .

Sadly I know where mine came from.....but they do not offer it anymore.

They seem to be visible only to yourself, but you are right. I don't like them either.
