EC! Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 if your doing it on post count I think 250, 500, 1000 would be better because doing it like for every 50 posts or so it diminishes the point of the award in a sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamminGamer Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 What about winners of chat games? I'd be happy to display that Or like awards for posts achieving a certain amount of 'likes' maybe? JoshC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I think, if you want to award post counts, it should be 100, 250, 500, 1000 and either stop there, or carry on in thousands from that point. I think they're pretty respectable milestones and there's enough 'lower ones' to encourage part-timers to post more regularly, whilst stopping continued spam. I like everything else, all seems pretty fine to me. The only other one I would suggested is an award for having a particularly highly liked post (maybe 5 likes and 10 likes?). It shows you've made a good-quality post that people have enjoyed, so could encourage more good quality posts. Also, it's more of an 'award', something you've achieved, as opposed to an achievement you can kinda 'unlock', if that makes sense? Just an idea.

Mer Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 What about winners of chat games? I'd be happy to display that Or like awards for posts achieving a certain amount of 'likes' maybe? I thought that about chat games, but not sure how it would work. Recently we've been playing games weekly, and that would be quite a lot of awards and a little too easy/nothing special achieved if that makes sense. But I was thinking - if we were to have another quiz kinda thing (like "Quiz Jizz" which Sidders has hosted previously), where there are a number of quizzes, one each week, each on a different theme park for example - we could have awards for the winners of each quiz (as it's a bit more than just winning a game in chat and we'll know how many quizzes there will be). Maybe we could spice it up a bit and have a finale quiz, where the winners of the previous ones (or top 3 if one person wins them all/majority ) compete against each other to become the "Ultimate Quiz Jizzer"!

JoshC. Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 One more suggestion from me about this ( ): After a while, there'll be members with loads of awards, which could end up cluttering the signatures a bit at the bottom. Is there any way to have coloured medals, so say if you've attended 5 meets, instead of having, for example, 5 silver medals, you have 1 gold medal? Then 6 means you have 1 gold, 1 silver, etc. Not sure if that's even something which is possible / already in place, but think it'd be quite cool if that could / is happening!

I think that is the plan, with a numbered rosette for each type/category of award. JoshC. and Matt 236 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Hey all Just a quick update from us - Firstly due to other commitments Dara has left the Mania hub team - I'm sure you'll join me in thanking him for his contributions to the forums. I would also like to welcome Josh C and Altitude (Ethan) to the team - both have been helping out for a number on months on things behind the scenes with a lot of the website and Facebook content and both deserve the recognition! Thanks Marc Mer, Altitude, JoshC. and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Thanks to Marc and all the TPM Team for the opportunity to help out! Sad to see Dara leave the Team; he was certainly a great part of it and irreplaceable. I'll mainly be helping write up articles for the main site, and ensuring TPM has the most up to date news about the park. Do feel free to PM me if you have any questions or worries about stuff on the site, or indeed on the forums!

pognoi Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Where'd Dara go? D: Nice to see 2 friendly faces in the driving seat (kind of) now. Not that Dara was bad or anything. 2 Good candidates I mean. Oh for gods sake. *cries* Kerfuffle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mer Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 This is spooky - I was only thinking earlier that I hadn't seen Sidders online for a while and had a feeling he might have stepped down/would be stepping down! Tis a shame, and ditto to what Josh said, but understandably people do have other commitments And woo, welcome Josh and Altitude! pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hey all As you'll see we have upgraded our forum to the latest version of the Invision Software - Hopefully you'll see improvements across the board. The design is also works much nicer on mobiles! Let us know if you have any feedback Marc Liam T, David B, Kerfuffle and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Poo Poo It's cool on desktop but awful on mobile, some points: Mobile: Can't see which topics have been replied to from the homepage. Have to press too many buttons to get to chat/blogs/calendar Seems to be running quite slow You have to click the small timestamp on homepage to go to that page, easy to accidentally click the larger users profile pic icon No desktop site alternative Trickier to navigate Easier to post media! Much clearer layout of posts and being able to like/quote etc Much cleaner and more professional looking mobile site Desktop: Announcements section at top with forum rules is too large, takes up over half the screen New circular profile pics are cool idea but cuts down the photo a bit Can't seem to find the links to most popular content/highest posters etc Chat looks nicer Alerts for new posts in topic I'm reading are clearer. Uploading media is easier My attachments section is cool Create content section is cool New profiles with cover photos are cool Marc has fixed most of my "moans" now, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I guess you guys who could see the last topic posted in on mobile were using the desktop version from phones which now you can't do? Will look into that! Ryan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkCrafter Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I hate change but I still don't know which layout I prefer. There was much less scrolling down the page before on the main home on mobile but I quite liked the modern feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Have made a slight change for those who wish to use the desktop version on their mobiles. Simply scroll to the bottom of the page, select "themes" and change it to desktop, this will allow you to use the desktop version as before.
