I might just be stupid, but is there an email preferences page? I see notification settings, but I do want site notifications, I just don't want any email notifications. When I receive one, I can unsubscribe from all emails using a link at the bottom of the email, but then when I post in a new thread it subscribes me to email notifications automatically. Basically I want site notifications but not email notifications. Is there a way to do this without waiting for an email to come in and then unsubscribing?
Theoretically they could, but given that user registration had to be disabled AP.net because of spam issues no one wanted to fix, and all the crappy code/issues on that site — my understanding is that will not be happening.
So many things on AP stopped working. "New" posts, "go to last unread", and keeping track of where someone was — basic things that I knew how to fix and yet no one would listen to me. Heh.
Yep, not really any reason to have a HUGE quote block. I think it keeps the pages cleaner, easier to read, and better conversations. Plus with the @replies, if someone is just talking / chatting and not quoting, you don't have to quote them randomly to make sure they see or come back to the thread.
I've I'm reading this right, I think what you want is: http://forum.chorus.fm/account/preferences If you want to turn email notifications on for one specific thread, you can do that when you create the thread (click the plus next to the button), or via followed threads (using checkbox and the menu).
I can't decide what the best default is for the email notifications, like, long-term users totally want those off. But a new poster that isn't used to a forum or only makes a couple posts, may really like being alerted to a new post in a thread they follow. It's something I go back and forth on — that one checkbox and the default.
One thing I liked about the AP mobile site was the ability to jump right into the general forum from the drop down menu. Here I have to click community, and then select which forum I want to go in. Very minor annoyance, but any chance we'll see that here?
Since there's so many options in the menu right now, I didn't add that yet, but I have some thoughts on how to potentially do it.
1. Love the user title. Well done. 2. The bones of it are Xenforo. But because I'm me -- I've made some changes.
Xenforo is a great system, use a few really well done forums using it. this is my number 1 request haha, band threads are already a little off
I'm not sure if this on purpose or not but for mobile anyway, notifications about quoted posts are lumped in with notifications about new replies for a thread. Would there be any possibility for a priority notification system, so a user can quickly see who's recently responded to them first, and then general thread notifications? Maybe I'm just missing something on mobile.
Hah, if we're going to make a standard, we should do it right now and "fix" any of the old ones that need it. Any thoughts. Notification settings/preferences of which ones show up can be set here. Currently just the default.
don't know how I missed that, thanks. I kinda like the "Band Name - Album Name (Release date)" format for albums, and for band threads I like "Band Name (Official Thread)" or just (OT)/[OT] or some derivative to clean it up a little bit, right now in the music forum it's a bit of a mish mash between "Band Name (Official Thread)" and "Band Name". Which looks a little messy.
