Last night I upgraded the forums to the latest version. Most of the changes only affected the admin area or were bugfixes, but a couple of things have been changed.

There's now a map on the profile of anyone who has marked themselves on the member map.

Also, I've replaced post count pips with a reputation indicator on the thread view sidebar. I think reputation is much more deserving of being there than post count, and I want to encourage quality over quantity. I'll also be removing the ranks associated with post count (or at least hiding them), but I'm not sure what to use member titles for. I might just make them user-editable.

There are probably other minor additions or changes, but I haven't noticed any yet.

There isn't a downvote button, I have no way to be sarcastic and overly critical with an easy button click.

QFT


There is never any need to QFT one of my posts. Everything I say is always an absolute truth/fact, and I am always correct in all things, so I never have any reason to edit my posts.

I encourage everyone to use the reputation system more now. Everyone can upvote up to 3 posts every 24 hours, so save it for posts that you think are really deserving and worthwhile.

There are currently 20 reputation ranks, I'll add more if necessary.

I have an irresistible urge to up-vote everything you say!

Also can we ban anyone who reaches level 20 because they are an insufferable know-it-all?

My finger is still hovering over the up-vote button on Indig0's posts :DDDDD


Edit: Also Dark its not nice to cheat your way to the high ranks just because you are admin. I call hax, please ban yourself..... and use the big hammer this time!

Lol. I don't think anyone will be reaching rank 20, probably ever, considering it's taken me over 2,200 extremely high quality posts to get to a measly rank 8.
