Signatures, Clickable Names, Editing Posts,Avatars

[bigbux3]

I figured this would be the appropriate place to post this thread.
It's been almost a year that TeamLava said they'd fix the problem about users over 100 posts would get the ability to use a signature and have a clickable name. I would love to use a signature and be able to click on other users names. I noticed that the new mod: CuddlyDragon, had a clickable username. Is this only for Moderators or Developers?
It would be nice to hear feedback from a moderator and from other users who may share this same idea with me.
Thanks!

[HmongVillager]

I voted yes.
I thought it was people who joined at a certain time, mods, and tl developers.

[ariesblu]

They say it's too difficult for them to achieve for everyone... for some odd reason, even though they were able to fix it for the new moderators.

[jellybelly2001]

I think important people should have clicking names

[DAmanding]

I think important people should have clicking names

Aren't we all important? :D ;)

[queentina3]

I would like to have a signature, and I would agree to have it for just the mods if other users didn't already have that option. If TL wants to only have new mods with the option, instead of all of us, then maybe they should consider taking the option away from those users that aren't mods that already have it, otherwise they should start going down the member list in order of postings and making these users have the option.

Totally right. I noticed from the beginning that, I believe, BP and DW didn't have a clickable name until a month or 2 back.

[pinkster73]

I want a signature :(

[bobbyrae]

I want a signature too :(

[Branston73]

I would like to have a clickable name!

[Branston73]

I would like to have a clickable name!

and a signature aswell.

[GroupMagma]

Unfortunately, this isn't possible at this time (at least not on a wide scale). This is due to a forum bug that occurred with user registration. Sorry for the inconvenience!

[AuntyRose32]

I'm sensing some RANDOMNESS again...:p Yes it would be nice to have all this:)

[pinkster73]

I'm sensing some RANDOMNESS again...:p Yes it would be nice to have all this:)

No randomness, if you joined after April 12 2011 no signature for you. Or me.

[Limaxa]

Voten for Yes.. I'm in another forum where everyone can have his or her own signature.. That's normal! It's not just for mods..

[jellybelly2001]

Aren't we all important? :D ;)

Like staff

[HmongVillager]

Maybe not a clickable name but atleast a signature.

[AuntyRose32]

I meant random as in we can give it to some people when we choose to (new moderator, cuddlydragon) but not to anyone else. I understand this issue is tied into when you joined the forum. Or they could just fix the problem but I won't be holding my breath on that one...:)

[DAmanding]

Like staff

I knew what you meant. I was being silly. Hence the big grin and wink faces. :D ;)

[ariesblu]

So what exactly are you guys doing to fix it (if anything)?

[bigbux3]

If there was a bug, how did the new Moderators get one?
I'm only asking, and a bit concerned.

[dalula]

yes, of course... I want a signature and I've been trying since forever for a signature (and failed! :( )

[bigbux3]

yes, of course... I want a signature and I've been trying since forever for a signature (and failed! :( )

I tried too and I found out Kooky Panda can help you make a signature. You have to copy and paste it into your post. I kept forgetting to though and I stopped.
Here's mine:

It's all to do with User IDs.
Any user ID after 1051 is affected.
What they have to do, is take someone who has never posted, but has an ID lower than 1051, and swap them with the Mod. That takes time though, and there wouldn't be enough to go round.
I still think it's a usergroup span permission error in the ACP...

Wuz a user group span permission error in the ACP? Can that be put in words for people that aren't geniuses with technology?

[bigbux3]

What is ACP?

[Ic3e]

Clickable name? Maybe. Signature? TOTALLY ****IT! So my vote....yes for siggy's.

[sparks229]

We want siggy's!!!!! :D

Aw. You've adapted to my word.

I would like a signature and a clickable name

Alright, translation for anyone who doesn't run a Forum:D.

Basically, I don't know if anyone knows much about databases, but the Forums are. There are lots of different parts of a database - for instance, for users, there's their username, IP Address (your computer's special number), e-mail address, when they signed up etc. There's also a unique number - the user ID. No accounts have the same number, it's the one exclusive way of identifying someone. Threads and posts all have an ID too - no matter what you call the thread, so long as this part: 27231 is in the address, it works fine.
Now, on the User ID 1051 on the 12th April 2011, a glitch occurred and all name links and some features broke.
Any UID before this date worked fine (so if you swap an inactive user with a Mod, the Mod gets the features and someone who never uses the Forum doesn't).
I thought it might have been an issue in the ACP (Admin Control Panel - the Forums don't just turn up and be all lovely and shiny, there's a more complicated bit behind the pretty front) where the usergroups (that's basically a load of different groups with different things they can do on the Forums. Admins can edit anyone's posts, access the ACP etc; SuperMods can edit anyone's thread titles, etc).
Internet coding language - HTML - could let them change each usergroup's name colour (eg. make Admin Red, SuperMod green and Mod Blue etc), but that would also include links in the name.
I thought that maybe there'd been a mistake and they'd accidentally created a new usergroup that had guest features. Just me thinking of the only thing I could.

Hope that helped explain it.

Thanks for this. I understand now! I remember that day, I was so active in the forums to reach 100 posts so I could be a Senior Member.

[Rachael98]

Thanks for this. I understand now! I remember that day, I was so active in the forums to reach 100 posts so I could be a Senior Member.

12th April? That's probably not possible - that would mean your account was created before the glitch, and therefore you'd have full editing features...which you clearly don't.

[bigbux3]

Whoops, I meant someday in June when I joined: I was active that day in the forums to reach 100 posts so I could be a Senior Member.
I still wonder how they haven't figured out how to fix the glitch.

This has possibly just confused me even more. All I got from that was GM can use his super powers and give CD the account of an inactive user and I'm not going to try understanding the technology behind these forums :D

Either fiddle around with a free equivalent of the software (ZetaBoards is the one I use to power my Forums), of ask someone IRL.

Yup....

[Rachael98]

[DAmanding]

The bug could probably be fixed but they would have to pay to get it fixed. I haven't been a forum administrator since the days when vbulletin was free. I was once the super admin for the forum on the Michael Moore website. Now that was a challenge! Trying to maintain free speech on a political forum without complete chaos?!?! Whew!

Chow-os.

A bit of a Chinese pronunciation?

Ah je comprend.

When I was a wee lad, I used to say chow-os as chaos. I used to say it exactly how I spelled it (chow-os).

Well hey, so longs as GM doesn't suddenly make any users Forum Admins, it's fine!

[pulidancer96]

I want an avatar. But its for community managers I think

[Rachael98]

Yup, plus it wouldn't work on your account because it's broken even if we were allowed one.

[ariesblu]

It should be allowed for everyone. On every other message board it isn't an issue.

[bigbux3]

Well, that goes back to having clickable names and signatures to have an avatar.

[pika4ever88]

I want to banish all those with excuses that this forum should remain unfair and allow only those who happened to join before April 2011 and others "just because" to have working siggies and clickable names. It's sad when basic forum features are denied to some users for obscure reason. But hey, that's TL's motto: if it's broken, why fix it, but if it's working before, let's think of a way to mess it up. Bouncing coins stars anyone?

Also, this forum is created through a third-party company (generic bookmark logo). Unless that company has customer service as bad TL, I'm sure this is a feature that'd be covered in their contract...

[TimeForACuppaTea]

I agree Pika.

I think TL and the forum companies should hire Rachel. Go get things fixed for us.

A sig would be nice but I'd really like to be able to click peoples names. The site is only partially functional since we could post messages in a users profile and send PM but only if we can figure out a way to get into their profile first. Without being able to click on users names it can be tricky to do this.

I have difficulty accessing many users profiles because they don't have clickable names. I have to go through the members list or go through the friends list or through the Who's on list and it's ANNOYING!

I agree with this as well. Having an issue like this for over a year is really ridiculous and says something about the priorities (or lack thereof) of this company.

[bigbux3]

TeamLava has done system fixes in the past before. I remember last year they shut down the Forums for about an hour to two so they can do whatever they did to it. All they need to do is to invest a bit, shut down for a while, fix fast, and re open. AND CHANGE THE COLOR ORANGE!

[atlantisonearth]

a) the account
or b) the person

[bigbux3]

I guess TeamLava just doesn't like spending money. HA!

[DAmanding]

I've said before that its a simple fix for them but it probably would cost money to have it fixed (not lots). So.....

If they have enough time to cleverly think of ways to place gen traps, why don they have the time to do THIS

[bigbux3]

Hey I thought that was new! But then I thought I was losing it and it was always there and I didn't want to look silly.

I was wondering the same thing. But I figured I wasn't because KP's profile picture was different from the avatar. So I put... two and two (?) together.

It was explained early in this thread that the reason moderators get a functional account with profile pic, signature and clickable name is because an unused account from before the Great Forum Breakdown is taken over and given to that person. Obviously they can't do this for all of us.

Though it was different in this instance because their accounts already had these capabilities, so what you stated did not apply to them specifically. But if this is the only way for them to hand it out to everyone after their lengthy research of over a year, then they should do something instead of absolutely nothing. There are 33,313 members on this forum, but only 4714 active members.

And there are probably less than a hundred out of that 4714 that have more than 100 posts, if that. Probably less than 50.

[bigbux3]

They just need to fix it!

[Rachael98]

I meant their games; the forum - vB is Jelsoft.

But if they only use the work around instead of getting the problem fixed, then they have to manually change every active user to an inactive account one at at time. Plus there could be difficulties if the original inactive user ever decided to come back (unlikely yes).

Ironically the work around is actually more work and headache then just fixing the problem...but it also doesn't cost anything other than the probably free labor of the super admin.

I was going to say you could change the color (since I just added a profile picture and homepage and saw that feature)... But looking at the Settings closer, it's either "Orange" or "test" which is orange... LOL!

The PM part I have an answer for (one out of three isn't too bad... lol). You can go to your Private Messages (at the top) > Send a New Message (on the left) and just type (or copy paste) in the name. If you have the first few letters, it'll also start a drop-down search results. Hope that makes your life slightly easier in a place where they don't care about you. :3.

I don't notice a lot of things apparently..... Wish we could do it on regular posts... But I'm fine with a siggy! :D

[bigbux3]

Way to rub it in bigbux

Rub what in? You can edit too.

[mattyboo1]

And to top it all off members who joined after the glitch happened can't edit their own posts please do your best to fix this teamlava please

[pinkster73]

Rub what in? You can edit too.

Her point was that she just noticed that we've been able to edit vm wall posts forever. Then you rubbed it in. Je comprend?

Ok I'll use different English words. She just noticed that we could always do that. You reinforced it, making her feel sillier. Oui?

[queentina3]

Well I feel silly cause I have no idea what you guys are talking about. How can we edit our wall posts? We can delete them and do new ones, but I have no idea how we edit them. *so confused*

Lol I don't feel "silly".

Ahhhh, I didn't know what "wall" posts they were talking about. I was thinking the ones within the game. Silly me. :p

[bigbux3]

Why limit us?

[pinkster73]

Sigh, still waiting. Think of all the cute avatars I could have!

[ariesblu]

The length of the wait seems unreasonable and ridiculous at the same time.

It's been over a year since the issue occurred, and for some reason they did not feel it a priority to resolve effectively and efficiently. This time next year they will still be saying "it should be fixed soon."

I think the first requirement is to be able to oink in perfect piggish.

[copycats]

What about avatars?

[bigbux3]

We only have profile pictures, not avatars. Which the mods can use avatars.

For some reason I doubt it - which is really irregular for a forum or message board. Very irregular.

Yes this would be awesome!!! But unfortunately only uses that joined before last spring get these things, I envy sehana :(

Alright, translation for anyone who doesn't run a Forum:D.

Basically, I don't know if anyone knows much about databases, but the Forums are. There are lots of different parts of a database - for instance, for users, there's their username, IP Address (your computer's special number), e-mail address, when they signed up etc. There's also a unique number - the user ID. No accounts have the same number, it's the one exclusive way of identifying someone. Threads and posts all have an ID too - no matter what you call the thread, so long as this part: 27231 is in the address, it works fine.
Now, on the User ID 1051 on the 12th April 2011, a glitch occurred and all name links and some features broke.
Any UID before this date worked fine (so if you swap an inactive user with a Mod, the Mod gets the features and someone who never uses the Forum doesn't).
I thought it might have been an issue in the ACP (Admin Control Panel - the Forums don't just turn up and be all lovely and shiny, there's a more complicated bit behind the pretty front) where the usergroups (that's basically a load of different groups with different things they can do on the Forums. Admins can edit anyone's posts, access the ACP etc; SuperMods can edit anyone's thread titles, etc).
Internet coding language - HTML - could let them change each usergroup's name colour (eg. make Admin Red, SuperMod green and Mod Blue etc), but that would also include links in the name.
I thought that maybe there'd been a mistake and they'd accidentally created a new usergroup that had guest features. Just me thinking of the only thing I could.

Hope that helped explain it. Agh! A lot of words! I read the first 10 sentences

[cast1532]

I love my "special features". I feel special because I was here from the beginning and I think these features is like a prize for putting up with Team Lava. The period where we didn't have weekly updates, before GM came into the picture, where we would wait months for a response from them. Yeah, I been here two years and I seen a lot of things changed.

Who remembers when anyone could've come and post anything they wanted? Some people were disgusting and I still remember those pictures. That's one of the reasons they decided to clean up the forum. Where they enable user names so only people that play Team Lava games can post. Those were the good old days.

I honestly don't think it's that easy to turn on the features you guys want. I think if they mess with something this site might go down and they don't want to experience that.

With that said, I hope you guys get the features that I have. It's nice to have a feature where you can delete your post or edit.

Reading the FAQ (which can be very helpful), the reason why we cannot do many things in this forum has to do with the administrator(s) blocking whatever they don't want their users to do.
There is also another pretty cool feature which is profile related. You can edit your profile, change colors, use pictures, and make you profile as unique as you want- also blocked.

[kooky panda]

GM did respond on this issue on another thread.



As many of you know, these issues first began when we linked our Storm8 ID accounts to vBulletin accounts, resulting in a scenario in which registered users inexplicably had the same privileges as Guests. I've personally checked the Admin Control Panel several times to attempt to diagnose this issue, and there is no obvious reason why this would be occurring, as there is no separation of user groups and privileges from before and after the account switch. We have contacted vBulletin regarding the issue, but the problem is more likely on our end. We've let to fix these issues because 1) this is a low-priority issue in comparison to supporting our games, and 2) we may be making other changes to the forums which would render this issue irrelevant.

As we've always stated, we appreciate your feedback, and encourage you to share your concerns with us (provided it's both respectful, and done through the proper channels). Users who are not respectful of both TeamLava and its forum staff will not be permitted to be an active part of this community.

A high priority might be to actually listen to their customers but since they can't do that they should give us siggy's. TL, you wanna know something high priority? Try looking at the threads for gem confirmation buttons. Seriously, why don't we all look at those for a while, and see how long ago they were created.

That's why I posted these, because they can even control if they want us to edit our profiles (color, font, blogs, etc.), choose what forum theme/colors, use profile pictures and avatars, enable signatures, down to reporting and editing posts.

[bigbux3]

As Mattdiner quoted this in ToastyRock's Test Thread:


Have you cleared the Signature Cache from AdminCP > Maintenance > Update Counters?

Could this be a fix?

[bigbux3]

Reading vBulletin purchase, there's support which is the reason why vBulletin costs. If support is unlimited and TeamLava is still paying for the site, then why hasn't the company contacted support to diagnose these problems?
If TeamLava doesn't want us to have these features, it's okay to say so. I know people were being disgusting in the beginning of the forums, but that's why there's word filters built into the forums.
I think all the have to do in the ACP is give everyone Moderator Permissions, then change us all back to Members.

[bigbux3]

I want to be able to navigate on this forum easily and it's becoming so hard to do so when many features aren't available to everyone.
I think to fix the problem, the forum admin needs to go into the Control Panel> Usergroups and do the following:

1. Go to the Registered Users group and click "Go" on the far right
http://i47.tinypic.com/jhyp36.jpg

2. Scroll down to General Permissions and change to "YES" to Edit Own Profile
http://i47.tinypic.com/x1fwwx.jpg

3. Scroll down to Picture Uploading Permissions and change to "YES" to Can Upload Custom Avatars and Can Upload Images for Signature
http://i47.tinypic.com/259g0mx.jpg

4. Scroll down once to Signature Permissions and change to "YES" to Can Use Signatures
http://i49.tinypic.com/2v2b3ba.jpg

That should cover everything. And if TeamLava is afraid of users uploading things they shouldn't, that's why there's a whole Moderation Section in the Control Panel as well. Again, I made a vBulletin demo to try out the site.

If it's really a glitch from TeamLava's end, there is also a Maintenance Tab in the Control Panel. Should fix anything that's wrong with the forums. Isn't that the reason TL pays for vBulletin?

I really doubt their story because I've read many threads from the beginning of the forums about users posting inappropriate content in the forums under unregistered and Norman gave an announcement that all users would have to sign in to use those features.
I've also realized that most of the users with these capabilities have either never been on the forums or haven't logged on in over a year. They have Senior Member features even though they don't use the forums while those who use the forums don't have those features.

I've posted this a long time ago. That tells you that they won't look at it because the features would've been activated a long time ago. I went throughout my ways to create a vBulletin demo to see what the site can do, and I was very surprised. I couldn't personally run a diagnosis on my test site I created because it was a demo. But I encourage TL to look at it if it's really a glitch.

We all are. Except the users who joined before the glitch and don't ever log into their accounts anymore.

I want to be able to navigate on this forum easily and it's becoming so hard to do so when many features aren't available to everyone.
I think to fix the problem, the forum admin needs to go into the Control Panel> Usergroups and do the following:

1. Go to the Registered Users group and click "Go" on the far right

Ooh, theory time!
What if, since sign-up was put in games, the users ended up as awaiting e-mail confirmation, or similar?
Then it wouldn't work fully.
Depending on how the defaults are set within vB, they could either bump up privileges, or use a promote tool after say, 5 posts to the Normal Member permissions.
If such a promotion feature exists on this software, they could also let users have small avatars after 10,000 posts, etc.

Oooh! Rachael, I love you! That could be it. I never thought of that. All other vBulletin forums give you the option to sign up. Since we're already in the system due to our Storm8 ID, maybe the forum didn't recognize that we're actually members?
I would suggest this to TL, but I don't know if they'll do it.

I never thought of that it could be it but also someone who joined before the glitch might need to tell us if they had to have an email confirmation

I would like to have a clickable name!

Everybody does

I thought when you create a Storm8 ID, it automatically makes a forum account but isn't activated until you log in.

Because people aren't in the member list until they log in the first time

But why should that cause us not to have all of the features?

I'm not sure but I'm saying no

[bigbux3]

I'm not sure but I'm saying no

No to what? That we will have those features?

[mattyboo1]

I'm saying that that the member list thing should not cause us to have loss of the features

Yes it does. I've seen this forum and other forums. Under the Admin Control Panel, there's a section where you can see and play with the groups, the members, and the features of each group and member.

The admin can do that too?

Yes. And if given the ability, the moderators too.

Wow...
