CP - The PM's have been replaced by a much advanced system called 'Conversations'. Your old PMs are there - just click the 'Inbox' tab above the search box πCIVILPRINCESSis starting a conversation like sending a PM? i cant find the PM button π -
eternalthinkerWhat is the logic behind initial Following/Followers count?
I see that I already follow a random few, and a considerable number follow me. How is it computed?
Edit: Some mistake on my part! It is just the 'friends' feature right?
Perhaps people can Follow you even if you're not friends? -
Ankita Katdare
Yes. The friends are converted to followers. πeternalthinkerEdit: Some mistake on my part! It is just the 'friends' feature right?

Sahithi PallaviBut that time, there is a friend request and that we had to accept it. But now there is no request and all I guess. Anyone can follow anyone, right?

But now there are no Friends feature right? Instead we have members following each other one-way? πAbraKaDabraYes. The friends are converted to followers. π
Another doubt: Now is there a way to quote multiple posts on a thread? -

Hope the CE Conference will be back soon.. -
Kaustubh KatdareDo we really need the conference? I see lot of CEans just killing time in CE Conference than participating in discussions.
-
lalI think its a better way of interacting with the members outside the threads.
-
Kaustubh Katdare
Agreed. There's a conversations facility in the new system. I know several users who login only to spend time in the conference. By the way, we're already testing conferencing facility.lalI think its a better way of interacting with the members outside the threads. -
A SudhaKarNice work Big_K. Forum looks neat with social appeal. Once i looked the changeover from forum to community i felt good. Now a days community or discussion is more familier than have a name forum which i have done few years back in my community. π
Though i was using smf since begining, i wanted to migrate to vb earlier but when i saw xf and their updates i wanted to change over sooner, waiting for someone in our circle to change over and thought i could use after getting a feedback to avoid productivity. Nice that you have switched over faster. I had a test version of xf years back and did not find time to upgrade my community.
Good work and will be looking closely on the feedback of xf somewhere in CE. -
Kaustubh KatdareWe had to migrate because vB4 is utter shit. It looked like a 'great' product in the beginning; but turned to be a disaster. Most of my time was spent in fixing databases & making sure that the server handles the load. During the peak traffic hours, the server would crawl and database would through hundreds of errors. XF is promising and I tested it heavily in last few weeks before deciding to make a shift. The server load is now half of what it used to be with vB and database errors have gone from 100/hour to zero. I'd definitely recommend the product.
-
A SudhaKarNice, but i have also done similar testing in few forums. And initially the load will be good then previous script.
But we should wait for few weeks to confirm. Additionally xf uses ajax, there is a chance of off loading soon once the max time frame of db set to a max. Always each db query should be 1 min. More mods and their functionality may affect the load time of forum. π
Really i could see everything is fast today in CE. Hope for the best. But i dont know how could you optimization ad placement while ajax in place. π -
Kaustubh KatdareFor your information Digitalpoint and IGN forums are switching over to XF. π

sowjithai think there should be another option to the privacy policy in people who may know-there should be another option like "the people you follow and the people who follows you"

Kaustubh Katdare
Okay. But still not sure what you expect. Every member profile shows the count of other members who he/she follows or are his/her followers. If you click on the count; the list of users will be displayed.sowjithai mean i am suggesting you another option in the privacy policy -
sowjithathere are options in privacy policy that the profile details are displayed to below select one of them
a)all visitors
b)members only
c)people you follow only
i suggest you to insert another option that is
d) people you follow and the people who follows you only -
sowjithai want answer for my following question that is
How can i delete my posted threads please. -
Kaustubh Katdare
Users can't delete their own threads or posts. If a thread has a reply; deleting it usually involves deleting other's responses as well. The best thing to do is to contact the admin/mods and let them know the exact issue/problem so that they can decided an action.sowjithai want answer for my following question that is

ReyaCan we have superscript,subscript,image alignment,creating table options in Text editor?
-
Kaustubh Katdare
Superscripts, subscripts are supported and tables are supported as well. However you'll have to use BB codes. We might get easy table creation facility depending on how many users need it. It requires lots of updates to the editor.ReyaCan we have superscript,subscript,image alignment,creating table options in Text editor?
Subscripts can be achieved with [ sub] ... [/ sub] tags and superscripts can be achieved with [ sup] ... [/ sup] tags (without any space in between). Tables are bit complicated. We may have a tutorial. For example H[sub]2[/sub]SO[sup]4[/sup]
Image alignment isn't supported at the moment. -

Harshad ItaliyaI totally forgot, where is CEan Of The Month Title? Or we've removed it?
-
Kaustubh Katdare
We hopefully will have the CEoM title displayed in another format. But can't say much about it at this moment. The new system operates in a different way internally. We may have a ribbon displayed for CEoMs.godfatherI totally forgot, where is CEan Of The Month Title? Or we've removed it?
We'll have to relaunch the CEoM initiative. -
Harshad ItaliyaIs it possible to display one small icon under the profile? Then we can design some little icon for different contest we'd arranged on CE. Like for CEoM,Grand quiz,5th year quiz.
-
Anoop MathewHai Biggie, can you change the color for the separation bar between each post and the corresponding signature? It should be darker and a little more thicker.
-
lal@biggie, alright will wait then π
@anoop, Thats right. Some times its tough to differentiate between the post and signature. -
Kaustubh KatdareAlright! Done
1. Made the post separator a little thicker & darker.
2. Made the signature separator a little darker.
Does it look good? -
lalYes its better. Now its easy to make out what is post and signature.
-
Kaustubh KatdareMaybe we should launch a signature contest to have really wonderful signatures π
-
lalhmm.. Then I'll be setting one too π
-
Harshad ItaliyaSignature contest. . . Sounds good. π π
