ZomgStuff.NET NEWS
Hello and welcome to a very special edition of the ZomgStuff news! This issue is going to be long and full of juicy content so prepare yourself. This week has been INSANE! The winds of change have been blowing with a hurricane force the past 2 weeks. Luckily for the less attentive everything will be covered later in this issue. So lets get started shall we?!
General News:
ZomgStuff has made it into the Board of the month poll on vBulletin.org! Go here HERE to view the poll as it continues. We are also still taking donations That will be used for special things for VIP and 1337 members! Every little bit helps! For those of you regular non VIP members we will be making the forums better for you all. This means new content and a more friendly atmosphere.
General Changes:
The skin has been accented with some new icons. Also some categories have been pruned and shuffled around to make the forum look more efficient. Forum Category Icons will be changed soon to something more casual. You also may notice that the Member Contacts has been removed from posts. You can still view this information in the User’s profile should you choose to. Currently the forum stats you see are only contain info from the forum sections you can view. We plan to soon change it so it includes all sections in it’s counts. Another thing we will be doing is changing the way the code and reply boxes look to make them more attractive.
Some member pruning (Including Mods) is planned to take place soon. Another thing on or list of things to do is make it easier for you guys to view the forum stats including post counts and such. We also added some hover pop-ups for the buttons in the lower left of posts. These will also be added to other buttons around the forum soon. We will also be changing the way the code and reply boxes look to make them more attractive.
Weekly Meeting:
David is currently planning on holding a Xfire meeting once a week. It will be required for Moderators and Administrators but anyone else will be free to join if they choose. We will discuss what all went on that week, what we did good, any mistakes we did, and what we can to do make it better for next week.
The Rating Mod and Reputation Mod:
The rating system has been changed as of late but there are more coming including more ratings, a way to view detailed stats on your ratings, and maybe even special privileges that will be automatically unlocked based on the ratings you receive. Some of the most notable changes to it so far to it is the new cooler looking icons and it’s now integrated into a sweet fly out menu. If you do not see any icon’s in the fly out menu then you MUST CLEAR YOUR BROWSERS CACHE! For information on how to clear your browser's cache go HERE. (http://kb.wisc.edu/helpdesk/page.php?id=1368) If you see abuse REPORT IT!!!!! We have a special panel for moderating ratings and can remove them as needed!
As most of you have noticed the Reputation Mod has been resurrected! It works just like it used to. Your received rep is still viewable in your User CP. To give rep click the little Icon that looks like this (http://www.zomgstuff.net/forum/ransom/miscshit/vcard.png) to the far left of the rating mod fly out trigger.
WE ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO USE BOTH THE RATING MOD AND THE REP SYSTEM!
