Forum updates - Thoughts Of You (Jenna) - 19-01-2019 I've done a little bit of promotion of the contest & this forum on facebook & other forums that allow promos, hopefully we'll get some new members. (Need to post about it on tumblr & twitter too) Been looking at some free themes & some of the paid themes at MyBB themes club, need to start trying them (eta: free themes) out. Been working on some new header/banner graphics - here's one for sigs. What do you think? RE: Forum updates - Thoughts Of You (Jenna) - 20-01-2019 Tweaking permissions, accidentally left the secret testing forum visible to guests *oops* RE: Forum updates - Thoughts Of You (Jenna) - 20-01-2019 Changed my sig, the banner looked too large with the links on here. Working on a new header And here's a tiny ad banner RE: Forum updates - Thoughts Of You (Jenna) - 20-01-2019 (20-01-2019, 05:33 PM)Thoughts Of You (Jenna) Wrote: <snipped> Somebody looked over my shoulder at this banner and asked me 'Is that a Beach Boy, or is it Jesus...looks like Jesus to me' rofl (I think it's the beard). - eta: and they weren't being sarcastic neither. RE: Forum updates - Thoughts Of You (Jenna) - 20-01-2019 Just been posting about this forum & the contest over on tumblr. https://denniswilsonzine.tumblr.com/post/182172091017/thoughts-of-you-fanzine-now-has-a-forum https://denniswilsonzine.tumblr.com/post/182172651982/thoughts-of-you-forum-posting-competition-win To do: I need more smileys/emojis. RE: Forum updates - Thoughts Of You (Jenna) - 20-01-2019 That registration captcha is really annoying, going to change that to something better. eta (was a separate post): Signed up to google's recapcha & changed the capcha to one of those are you a human tick boxes, and changed the security questions to something more Dennis connected. Accidentally moved some members to the wrong user group while trying things out *oops* , so corrected that. Can I merge posts? eta2: Yes I can. RE: Forum updates - Thoughts Of You (Jenna) - 21-01-2019 testing, testing. test: just seeing what the other merge option looks like. eta: nice line. More lines from the horizontal rule button. (right there next to the insert a picture & email buttons) Anyone know what the point of the MY smiley or the brick/castle thread/post icon is ? eta2: Stopped showing members browsing threads & forums and turned on related threads - it now shows links to possibly similar threads at the bottom of the page. Must stop fiddling with the forum. RE: Forum updates - Thoughts Of You (Jenna) - 21-01-2019 Site just went wobbly & gave a connection error and wouldn't let me edit or post but it's ok now. Hope it wasn't a temp outage. No problems mentioned on my host Hostpresto's site. eta3: have turned off the new member referral links because there's no point to it here, and removed the ICQ (does that even still exist?) / Hangouts / Yahoo & Skype ids fields from your profiles. RE: Forum updates - Thoughts Of You (Jenna) - 22-01-2019 Turned off thread ratings, because it's not really necessary and you can't change your rating if a thread gets good or goes bad later. RE: Forum updates - Thoughts Of You (Jenna) - 28-01-2019 Done a bit of rearranging & moved the Forum Updates section to the top of the forum. (been reading old reviews on Forum Promotion and that's a regular piece of advice over there). Also moved the introductions thread there (come & introduce yourself and say hello to other members if you want) and changed the description to be more friendly. I've also added a Sold prefix for the For Sale/Wanted sub forum. Been looking at other forums and themes again for ideas - getting a real ugh feeling looking at the default theme on the index. Going to change that asap. |
