Posted September 3, 20159 yr Hey all, I've found some time to have a look at forum improvements. I don't have so much experience with Vbulletin, so I'll be playing around a bit. First addition is a simple chatbox for any question questions you might have. Or just for chit-chat! :celebration:
September 4, 20159 yr Author Yeah, I need to get the "pro version" so it can be intergrated in the post rather than sit there as a postbit.
September 11, 20159 yr Author Still trying to add some features like the thanks button, sidebar (not sure if useful), improved SEO. I want to add more styling options for forum posts (ie. tables). Anything else you guys want?
September 11, 20159 yr Author Also trying out a new mobile style for those who trying to read the forums on the move
September 11, 20159 yr Also trying out a new mobile style for those who trying to read the forums on the move I think it's best not to use the mobile style because it's harder to navigate, looks like crap, chatbox doesn't work and only shows loading and I don't think anyone has problems accessing the normal forums on mobile because it works well on a range of new and old devices
September 11, 20159 yr Author Hm, okay. The sidebar is a bit obnoxious on the mobile (with regular style) though. But then again, it's also not awesome on desktop
September 11, 20159 yr Hm, okay. The sidebar is a bit obnoxious on the mobile (with regular style) though. But then again, it's also not awesome on desktop Yes it is. Now a dark theme will be great.
October 27, 20159 yr Any reason why it got removed because it was mainly just for the two reasons below and despite some crap posts it seemed to work really well First addition is a simple chatbox for any question questions you might have. Or just for chit-chat!
October 27, 20159 yr Author Should've posted here earlier! We're having some issues with spammers and for some reason they were all attracted to the Chatbox archive. So now we're trying to find out if the Chatbox is the cause or the Chatbox is a metric. I don't think the chatbox is attracting them specifically, so it's pretty likely it'll come back soon.
October 27, 20159 yr I've been wondering if my mobile device had a problem, but no chatbox on the rig as well. It has been very helpful in several ways for me. I've never noticed any spam, what do you mean? GIVE US CHATBOX BACK......please
October 27, 20159 yr I've been wondering if my mobile device had a problem, but no chatbox on the rig as well. It has been very helpful in several ways for me. I've never noticed any spam, what do you mean? GIVE US CHATBOX BACK......please I never noticed spam to the point it was a problem but I did see a spam post or two by a bot which is something of great concern because if link to something malicious is posted the only choice would be to remove the chatbox unless individual posts can removed Plus the chatbox gave me a good reason to check the forums like never before
January 27, 20169 yr Author I lowered the threshold for flooding the chatbox. That should solve the issue, I reckon
January 27, 20169 yr Didn't go away. It happens whenever I hit Enter, even if it's the first message I've sent. Clicking "OK" seems to work fine but hitting Enter always throws the error.
