Thank button? - Ton - 03-18-2010
Did I miss something? It's gone.
RE: Thank button? - Dazz - 03-18-2010
It broke the site so I removed it.
I don't know if I can put it back in without breaking the site again, so for now, it's gone.
RE: Thank button? - Baegal - 03-18-2010
how did it break the site?

god forbid people are unable to offer vapid and meaningless thanks to forum posts.

I used it to keep track of things I've accepted. Oh well.

I still think there should be a post rating system that goes both ways, but I guess empty-quoting and "what is this I don't even" still work.

It broke the tables when it was enabled, or something along those lines. It just needs whoever can access tSR's server to download an update, probably.
RE: Thank button? - Ultimecia - 03-18-2010
There was a hole here. It's gone now.
Yeah, I also used it to keep track of some stuff, so I guess I'm going to have do to it manually.

wouldn't this be a good chance to upgrade it a charma-like system? as in "thumb up/down" for each post.
RE: Thank button? - Vipershark - 03-18-2010
Yes, if we ever put a thank button back, we need some kind of "dislike" or "fuck you" button as well.

If it's a single submission, wouldn't it be easier to just lock the thread after it's accepted? Prevents 10,000 year bumps, too.
RE: Thank button? - Ultimecia - 03-19-2010
But what if the person wants to continue submitting to the same thread? Or someone got a question for the ripper or pointing an error? I don't think the locking is the solution for this.
A good thing about the "Thanks" button is that people could show they agree with the post without having to post something. But if it's broking the code, let's wait a while and see
RE: Thank button? - GrooveMan.exe - 03-19-2010
It's why I said Single Submission. Although I guess I'm mostly referring to the Custom Sprite Submission board, where there's only a very small handfull of ongoing submissions.
RE: Thank button? - Ultimecia - 03-19-2010
Yeah, for customs it might be a good idea, but for all the others... :/

I mean, it's not like it causes loads of server errors when it's turned on. Or did it do that, too?
