The New FFR Thread

[rzr]

Have you gone in your User CP lately? Have you noticed a drop-down menu of notifications? The new breed of moderators? The way to make friends on forum profiles? Public Social Groups? The new Online icon? All the extensive information in forum profiles? The new skin?

Well, if you haven't then go look now! If you have noticed these new additions to FFR what do you think of them? Do you like them? Why? Do you dislike them? Why? Tell us!

Personally, I'm very half-and-half on it. I love the new look (my phone loads it a lot easier) the forum profiles are blessing, the Online icon is angelic, the moderators will hopefully help make the site better than ever (congratulations to sarahxjane), and it's all going to be great! But, again, where do you stand?

Re: The New FFR Thread

They are fine. Its generally a good idea to leave these kinds of threads to people that are more official.

Re: The New FFR Thread

yeah its ok i guess... thats kinda what the actual profiles are for though

Re: The New FFR Thread

I am still unable to leave visitor messages.


Aside from that, the new content is great.

These were all unintenional vBulletin upgrades that came with the update. There's a good chance that they will be removed.

Re: The New FFR Thread

i dont see the point in having an actual forum profile since we already have profiles. =/

But some of the other updates are pretty cool

A few of them are worth keeping, but I'd definitely get rid of the social groups functionality until such time as their existance can be more heavily moderated. The rules all need to apply there, and it ends up making a huge amount of extra work for mods to have to go in and make sure rules aren't being broken.

"Social Groups". I don't think they're designed to be anything official, just a way for people to communicate and socialize. They don't even have that much functionality. Like, if they had built in forums or something I would probably agree with you. But it's just a list of people and a little box where you can post a message. What's the worst that can happen?

Re: The New FFR Thread

That's my thoughts, dev. Social Groups = FFRSpace = drama = b&

Re: The New FFR Thread

I like the little stats thing that shows you who the last few people to view your forum page. Kind of cool.

The groups are pretty worthless. Same with the forum friends and what seems like the picture album function. Superfluous stuff, really, because this is all available in the FFR profiles.

Right, but they have to follow site rules while they do that, which means that mods are going to have to periodically go through the entire mess of them to make sure the rules are being followed.
