  • I've added the thumbnails back on to the website. I've made it so the thumbnail feature won't display any images from the guy who complained.
  • @Jared I was wondering a few things regarding the site. Is it possible to sticky items here? I was thinking it may help to sticky some threads, at least the General Lansing & East Lansing development threads and either this thread or a new "site news" or similarly themed thread. An "introduce yourself" thread should probably be stickied also, along with any other suggestions. I don't remember if it's been asked before, but I was also wondering if there's any way to quote with this software?

    I was thinking of trying to update the project pages again also, I forget how to do it though. I'm not sure how they should be written either, I'm really thinking of them largely as a place to aggregate all the links and information regarding any given project.
  • Yeah, we can sticky discussion threads. There isn't a good way to quote a comment, but you can use BBCode with [quote][/quote] to show quoted text, but it's not like other forum software that auto-links to the comment, etc.

    Yeah, the project pages get out of date pretty quickly. It may make more sense to use the first comment of a project thread as the "project page", as that first comment can be edit & updated. I think if I make people moderators then they would be able to edit the comment even if they weren't the original author.
  • Putting the project pages in the first post of each thread may be a good idea. I'll try updating the threads that I've started.
  • And I've realized I've only started one of the recent project threads, The Outfield. I redid that initial post to make it more of a landing page for the project. I may attempt to do the same with the Sparrow page that I started.
  • Thanks, The Outfield page looks good :)

    I've made hood and MichMatters moderators on the forum now, as they've been on for the forum since the beginning and have consistently made great contributions.
  • What is sticky?
  • Sticky means that the thread will stay at the "top" of the forum even when new posts are made to other threads.
  • I'd be happy to do the same thing I did for the Outfield in other threads, but I don't know how to go about it. I don't want to just go around hijacking peoples first posts, I'm assuming you can't insert a post at the top of a thread right?
  • Hmm... yeah I don't see a way to do it. Which threads seem awkward? You could probably add a section at the bottom of the first post with a:

    Current project status (as of 9/2/2015):
    ...
    ...
    etc.
