Ok so just to add to things I’ve managed to achieve today.
- We now have a messaging system! If you are logged in, you will now notice you have a “Messages” menu item which you can use to message each other!
- We’ve always had a points system. You will now note that you have a rank listed against your profile name here in the forums. As you post more content either in the forums or on the front page, your rank will go up, and I’ll be adding more ranks as the need arises. So keep posting stuff!
I have also investigated whether we can use the same system to allow people to vote up/down responses in the forums so people can engage in “rep whoring”. The system I use doesn’t seem to support that natively, however it does allow you to create custom hooks. This may allow someone with a bit more knowledge of PHP to create such a thing, that might be a little beyond my ability though. If you know somebody that might be willing to take on the challenge, I’m happy to work something out!
