Announcements, Multi-Topic Moderation & New IDs - Posted By Ross (admin) on 31st Dec 07 at 10:15pm
Two new features have been introduced. The first of these is "Announcements" where you can make a topic appear in all boards. It will have a special icon next to it and the word "Announcement" before it to try and attract the members attention. An example of an announcement should be put up tonight.

The other new feature is multi-topic moderation which allows staff members with the ability to mass lock/sticky/delete topics.

In addition to these new features, the topic ID structure has changed to prevent duplicate IDs occuring. Any link pointing to an old ID will automatically redirect the user to the new ID.

That's got a nice ring to it, if only it wasn't a bit ego massage {Tongue Out}

The w00bug was named after Woop @ Proboards, so why not? {Tongue Out}

Whatever it's called it no longer exists so there's no need to dwell on the subject any longer {Wink}

It did exist. So we can all say on Dec. 31,2007 the Cr0wbug attacked.It was defeated by Ross.

A quick question regarding the new ID's; will the old ID's still work in the quoting system, for example?

Re: Announcements, Multi-Topic Moderation & New .. - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 1st Jan 08 at 1:18am
Try it! {Tongue Out}

Re: Announcements, Multi-Topic Moderation & New .. - Posted By Marc (cr0w) on 1st Jan 08 at 1:20am
 
Try it! {Tongue Out}


I can't convert times to unix timestamps in my head, plus I don't know the exact second that a post was submitted. Thus, I cannot get a thread's old ID. {Wink}

Re: Announcements, Multi-Topic Moderation & New .. - Posted By Ross (admin) on 1st Jan 08 at 1:48am
Yes, old quote tags will still work.

Re: Announcements, Multi-Topic Moderation & New .. - Posted By Marc (cr0w) on 1st Jan 08 at 1:49am

Alright. {Smile} Oh, one last question. What will happen when the auto-increment ID's get as high as the timestamps?

EDIT: Nevermind, answered my own question. {Tongue Out} [By then those quotes will be long gone. {Tongue Out} ]

Yes, but it's an icon of a megaphone. {Tongue Out}

A micromegaphone? {Tongue Out}

Re: Announcements, Multi-Topic Moderation & New .. - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 1st Jan 08 at 11:23am
