Forums/Site Modifications

[Andrew]

I've recently made a few modifications to the main site and forums so figured I'd fill you guys in.

- I added an indicator to the top of the forums when you have an unread PM. Here's a screenshot: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/attac...2&d=1198043415

- I added a small breadcrumb menu to the bottom of the forums under the << Previous Thread | Next Thread >> links.

- I also added a couple new BB code tags. First I added a spoiler tag. Simply place any text you want hidden in between {spoiler}Hidden text{/spoiler} (but use [ ] instead of { }) Example:

Spoiler

Hidden spoiler text

- The other BB code I modified was adding a new option to the image tag. You can wrap text around images by adding the direction to the tag like this {img=right}Image URL{/img} (Again using [ ] instead of { }) Example:

Note: This option can and should always be used when posting images in articles for the front page.

I also added buttons for these new BB tags in the advance editor.

for the images

and

for the spoilers

....nice and all buuuuut are you making the front page any sexier?

[Andrew]

I changed the Forums link so it links directly to the BLB forums from any BLB pages and directly to the OSFL forums from any OSFL pages. Let me know if you guys like it better this way.

Added a small plugin that allows users to hide the results of polls. Only admins, mods and the thread starter will be able to see the results until the poll is closed. This option is available when you are creating a poll. It should be useful for awards voting, etc.

That's called the "Jistic Plug-in". It prevents a user from arguing against whatever poll option is winning just seconds before the vote is over.

It'll never work. I can already tell what you sheep are voting on. Too easy.


BTW I also want to say that I oppose this feature.


When will we be adding the feature to make all official polls unofficial because even though everyone has voted somebody has come up with a "better" idea? Maybe a void button?

Or we could call it the evil overlord button?

[Clay]

We're changing the name from Votes to Suggestions.

[Andrew]

I'm actually just going to make everyone in the BLB a commish. Everyone can just make their own rules and run their own sims. We'll call it "single player"

[Clay]

LOL...

OK, JWolf now has competition for Post of the Year.

[Jistic]

That sounds good. I think this is a great move right before realignment.

Don't I at least get an honorable mention in this catagorey?

[Clay]

You're the Plug-in.
