New Moderators & New Rules (eventually)

@SS-GEN said in The new forum has been a lot of work and it's not done yet:

I know it’s getting better but I posted a reply for my game report in house rules and with the changes the stuff just gets buried. Somebody post another tread reply and such now you have to go threw every topic to find it. Just sayin.

If I’m understanding correctly, there’s no difference between the old forum and the new forum for this situation. If you post a topic, and a bunch of folks post different topics, your topic will eventually end up on another page unless somebody replies. On forums, “stuff gets buried” all the time.

Also, you absolutely do not have to go through every topic to find your topic. This has come up multiple times, there are tips and tricks that cover this, I added helpers in the navigation bar. Not to be harsh but I’m just not sure what else we’re supposed to do.

Here’s a recap of your options:

Notifications: there is a bell near your avatar on the toolbar. When somebody replies, there will be a red number. Click that and you’ll get all of your notifications.

Replies to your Posts: I literally added this to the toolbar because people were complaining about finding their stuff. It’s the double-left arrow in the nav bar. It’s literally the same as clicking Notifications followed by “See all Notifications”

Recent Topics: Click the clock in the nav bar. Where it says “All Topics” select “Watched Topics” instead. You can even select a category to further narrow it down.

Recent Watched Topics: Click the eye in the nav bar. That will give you “recent” watched topics, including any topic you made or any topic you replied to. (I think I’ll change this to the next one)

All of Your Watched Topics: Go to your profile. Click the 3 dots. Click Watched.

Your Topics: Go to your profile. Click the 3 dots. Click Topics.

Bookmarks: If a particular topic is super important, then click the three dots on a topic, the one next to Reply, Quite, <heart>, < 3 dots> and click Bookmark. To find your bookmarks: Go to your profile. Click the 3 dots. Click Bookmarks.

That 6 ways to find your stuff. The old forums had a stupid icon that was hard to see and made no sense, I think it was a face or something. The replies to your posts was nice but we have that and more.

Note: there’s a bug with your watched topics if you have infinite scrolling turned on. I’ll file it later.

What are the roles and responsibilities of moderators?

cool.  i’ll tell him

@djensen:

I’m thinking I should be receiving no karma. Good or bad.

Hey, you’ve got way more good karma than bad. And I think we shouldn’t take it so seriously - I’ve smited Jennifer for bad math, not that she’s a bad person or anything. Just that if she wants to prove her point mathematically she should do it right.

I have no idea where I picked up -1 karma but I’m not going to lose sleep over it.

Personally I am content to wait for Guadalcanal before starting speculation on the next game. We still have at least four months before we see the one already planned…

you see,
this is why i feel uncomfortable when someone points to my (proliferic) post number. This is not an acheivement, so much as an anti-acheivement. The note that this is how much time i have spent NOT on a date, NOT studying, and NOT sleeping etc.
it’s very sad.

thought you’d like that. but just think how TG feels. :wink:

Sounds like a perfectly good idea to me.
