XenForo 2 and our post-upgrade itinerary

[Dynamite Ninja]

Are you going to allow people to change their usernames whenever they feel like it?

I really like the idea of having a board for über-lolcows (i.e. cows that are just below having individual boards). Maybe there could also be something like the cwcki them. Updates, thread of the now, etc.

Also please add a "salt" rating. Like a-log but more general.

Consider making "kiwifarms.net/wiki/" a sub-domain rather than a directory path, it's seems more suitable for something that differs from the main website. It could possibly be "wiki.kiwifarms.net".

Tying into the below quote, you could view the most "Informative" only, for instance.





Yeah, hiding and favoring individual threads will be a taller priority. We have a "Watched Thread" system, but I don't think too many people use it. I want to make the front page as useful as possible, like this:

What would happen if someone rated a post that had 5x late as informative would the system favor the most frequently used rating or would it appear if you chose informative or late filter?

@Null do you know the time table for the upgrade yet?

Completely useless trying to give information that specific right now.

No.

Don't switch on gen 1. Xenforo (like any other non-major software developer) will most likely shit the bed on initial release. Let it breathe and give the mod community time to catch up. Let Audentio, Brivium, Siropu, Themescorp... whoever... let them all catch up and do the troubleshooting of the new framework.

You doing it yourself is asking for a massive fucking headache if you code all your mods yourself.

The only mods we use that aren't already by me or their development team is the ratings mod, which is fucking garbage and slated to be replaced.

Change the font very slightly please.

Merge all the boards. I don't often scroll through the lolcow board to find something to read, I look at 'new posts' or see what's being talked about in chat.
And anybody who doesn't use the watched threads feature is a lolcow. it just makes sense. Watched forums less so.

 

[Splendid]

Bring back groups.

 

[Mr. 0]

Bring back events & news

...and the blue pill and loveshy subforums
