Moderators, please bring back the like, agree, quote buttons. All those who agree please...bugger!

“Over the couple of months I’ve been here, this is the nicest, most polite place I’ve ever visited on the internet”. I share your sentiments completely, @markstinson.

I contribute to, research, and learn from a myriad of online sub-cultural communities… and snuffhouse is notably more calm, composed, and dignified.

You’ve already contributed significantly to the wider snuff community @markstinson, and seeing you do so here is very encouraging. Thank you.   

I’m like @miamimark I can only moderate and can’t add features etc. Believe me, if we could, we would. I am always around dealing with things to help keep the forum running smoothly.

You guys do a great job of keeping it running smoothly. Calmest, most drama-free message board anywhere around. :slight_smile: Mark

Thank you, @nulliverse.

Agreed! :slight_smile:

Moving forward, do you think we could further potentiate the communities drama free calmness with functions such as ‘like, agree or quote buttons’?

@markstinson, you’re input has already helped to provide a very useful search tool. Could you not collaborate with @miamimark and @Skell18 with a view to integrating other useful functions?

This may not be possible, due to technical factors way beyond my forte… but if it is indeed possible, it’d be yet another example of the unique camaraderie which drew me to this community in the first place.

@Nulliverse, the moderators only have control over adding new members, deleting posts, removing members, cleaning up spam, etc.  But, they don’t have access to the administrator dashboard where you can add functionality plug-ins.  Vanilla is designed in such a way that the following things can only be added with plug-ins:

  • Image Uploading
  • Like Buttons
  • Quote Buttons
  • Expanded Profile Options
  • Signatures at the end of posts

So, I think the moderators have done all they can on those functionality issues, and it will take someone with administrator access (or someone working with that person), to upload and install the plug-ins that will add those functionalities.  The moderators were very helpful in suggesting I contact Dave (MrSnuff) about it, and I have sent him a private message here on the board about it.

That’s as much as I can do, really.  Just offer.  The administrator may not want any assistance, or may have a completely different plan.  That’s definitely his call, as its his message board, and he pays the bills.  

Hope that helps.

Mark

Thanks for the technical info @markstinson, and your efforts to contribute.

No problem, @Nulliverse.  :-)

Mark - I fear that the Private Message system is yet another of the things that isn’t working… May I suggest that you send Dave an email directly as well?

image hosting on-site might add significantly to the hosting costs. It’s a wonderful feature, but the like/agree/insightful (and quote!) buttons are the priority for facilitating community interaction.

@cpmcdill, we definitely wouldn’t want to cost them more money.  We’d want to check that before adding the image hosting.  Hosting storage is pretty cheap these days, and you usually have a pretty big chunk of storage to work with.  But, we’d have to see.

@Justin, I don’t have Dave’s email.  Mine is mark@modernsnuff.com if you’d like to send me Dave’s (as long as that wouldn’t bother him.)  Private messaging is working for me, at least I’ve been using it successfully, but it might not be working for everyone.
