You should include a ranking system.

[Izabella]

Some forums include a ranking system where people who post more than others receive a rank based on the amounts of posts. I just want to feel special... :wink:

[jakejammin]

I second this motion :wink:

Here are some Stars you can use.

Just make a folder in the forum's image folder called ranks, put them star images in there.

Make a new Rank and point to that image with.
images/ranks/rank_1.gif

Boop you're done. :lol:

[Jeppe]

That might be a good idea... I'll take a look at it :)

[Jeppe]

Okay so I had some fun messing around with this :)

1 star - "One hit wonder" 1 post
2 stars - "2 stars" 2 posts
3 stars - "3 stars" 5 posts
4 stars - "Pr0n leecher" 15 posts
5 stars - "I do this for a living" manually assigned (ask me)
6 stars - "Site admin" - Only me and Thomas

I need some good and preferably humorous adult-related descriptions for the ranks... Feel free to let me know your ideas.

I do not see the stars using Firefox??
How about a penis??

You can change it to a hard squirting penis for anything ove 1000 maybe.

But there is so much you can do, like a Gender option.
So the members can pick their gender.

If you want me to help, thats what I do is write php :wink:

[jakejammin]

Guess I should login before posting aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :wink:

oops and I ment anything over 100 posts..... LOL

[Izabella]

I would just be 64 posts away from that then...now you guys got me all excited :P

[jakejammin]

Ya know Jeppe,
If you want my help, just ask and I will help with the forum.
I write php for a living man, and have setup and designed many forums.

If you need them here is just 2 referrals I picked out from my stack of hundreds.

http://www.morejammin.com/creations/2-Referrals.rar
You can contact them both of then if you wish.
They both know me as my cyber name of Jake Jammin.

I have some spire time in this week, but I do not think that will last long because I have 2 bids in on site designs, and one is a $4,700 bid, and that will tie me up for about a month or so. I think, I have that one because they are full of questions, then I have a video voice conference with them on Monday. Usually when it goes as far as the conference they accept my bid and want me to do the work.
So I have to setup my flash slide presentation, but other then that I will be free this weekend and can easily install any mod you want into the forum here that only takes like 30 minutes give or take.

Just let me know.

Thanks for the offer! I just checked your references and they definitely sound like you know what you are doing.

I don't know really if we need anything done on this forum though - aside from the ranking images I guess :wink: They still don't work in Firefox? They work in IE at least.
But afterall yeah it might be cool to add some more options to customize your profile. Let me think a little about that.

Sorry to kill the excitement, but with your current status postcount doesn't matter anymore :) Just let me know if you'd rather be a regular member.
Then I guess I'll have to raise the number of posts required to get more stars, since besides me you are the most active poster :)

Ya I been around the block a few times..... LOL
But I have added just about every dam mod out there for phpBB. :lol:

Hmmmmmmm there has to be a problem in the linking, maybe in the ACP???

What you can do is let me know what ya might be wanting to do, and I will find or write a mod and get it installed if you don't know how too do the deed.
A lot of the mods you have to add tables to the database, so if you do try PLEASE backup before you touch anything!!
Also do not use the database backup in the Admin Control Panel, it sucks and you could loose data!
Use phpmyadmin or my fav. is MySQL Administrator.
If something does go wrong on you, I have the know how to rebuild databases from scratch, and sort out scrambled data.

It doesn't matter. I already feel special Jeppe :wink:

[Jeppe]

LOL I made the stupid and simple mistake of using backslash in the path instead of forward slash. In IE that apparently doesn't matter, but in Firefox it does... Oh well, should be fine now.

I'm not so sure. Most of the time, post numbers and ranking simply encourage "post farming" where people will flood the forum with meaningless posts just to up their post nubmers and get to the next ranking.

The other forums that I have visited are garbage because they are full of spam...

ranking system is a nice idea... 8)
