First one is the way to go. Which ever one you used to have doesn't really matter. The second is easier and more user friendly. It creates a page that you are taken to when you click remove topic. From there you decide whether or not to leave a message about it or not.

Choose the second one. The first defaults to "yes", which results in people leaving messages all over the place. It's really not much better than our current "move topic" method. The programmer got lazy on that one...
The message left about it says it was moved to the trash bin, and gives a link to the trashed thread, which is not accessible to anyone but staff.
People do that a lot... the programmer of the first got lazy. Believe me, you want to use the second.

I agree. Second one.
Hopefully no one will screw it up this time.

You mean, add incompatible codes? We have procedures for checking those now.

The Recycle Bin system (the code in the second link) has been added in the H/F. I have yet to update the list of codes...
Someone also put in an image resizer, may I be correct, that takes screenshots and turns them into thumbnails linked to a page dedicated to the image itself. This too needs cataloged...

Image resizer? How do you use that???

If someone were to insert a page-stretching image, the image would be shrunken and that mini-image would be linked to the full-sized image elsewhere.

Oh, ok. That's nice to have.

Never mind, I misread the signature resize code and mistook it for image resize. Someone must have just inserted a linked thumbnail out of courtesy...
I do believe there is an image resize code available from Proboards, however...

Anyway, thanks for putting in the Recycle Bin code. Now we can get back to work.

I seems that i have gotten to the point that the only thing left that stretches the forums are large images and large posts. Right now I have requested a code that will scroll a post horizontally if it stretches the forum.
As for cleaning up the forum, we still need to organize the moderators on the boards. Viros still moderates the About the Site category.

...organize the moderators on the boards. You mean categories? Yeah. At the moment we only have 3 cat mods. Ideally we would have 2 or so per category, so thats................*thinking*................... 8 cat mods. So we'll have to change some current staff or recruit new ones. Preferably the former.

No, but that is a good idea.
I meant if you look at a board, under the description it says who moderates it. These are very unorganized, and only one category is still up-to-date; Graphics. I think VIROS is still listed as the moderator of all the Importants.

It's not just a good idea. It's what we've been planning to do ever since the restructure. We planned on having 1-2 mods per category.

...and I don't know which people to promote or switch around, so I give permission for the staff to promote whoever seems fit to serve as Category Moderators. Naturally, make sure that such a candidate is qualified and active...

So it's a staff free-for-all, almost? Any good member can be a cat-mod? Do we really want to get into the whole half-the-active-members-are-staff thing again?
|

Post by GGoodie on Aug 9, 2009 3:26:58 GMT -5
No more hiring. We should let the staff to member ratio sink to 1:4 at least before we hire again. And by members I mean active ones.

Post by General Veers on Aug 9, 2009 3:29:13 GMT -5
Hmm...
This is a problem. Staff should be active, but we don't want to make all the active members staff...
Should we decrease the number of Category Moderators necessary, or just keep things as they are?
