Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I wonder will the forum mod be able to put something against a thread to show a game that's active - a bit like the forum request forum, where threads are marked "New" or "Approved" or "Expired" - we could have "Active" or "Complete" against games that are in play?

    They will be able to change the names of the threads post game.

    For example the latest game title should be imo...

    WWIII - WINTER IS COMING - GAME OVER - VILLAGE WIN

    I'd also probably lock the old game threads a few days after they closed. The only open threads should be this one, the current game and the sign up to the next game.

    Do you think they could up the WerewolfGM account to a mod account? that way it can be used and obvious when the mod is posting? We had that over in the poker forum. But the Mod abilities only worked in that particular forum so they couldn't abuse privileges.

    I think they said that it's not possible because the mod accounts by default have access to the mod forum and they're not going to allow any randomer to have a look in there.

    If we have a dedicated mod or two that can enforce the charter, lock and unlock threads and change thread titles it won't matter if they are playing or not.

    Was just pulling together a draft (I'm bored) based on the below suggestion.

    Yeah fair enough, if we draft something sensible then they could probably just use that and adjust it as they see fit.

    Yeah, I agree. I also think that in the forum once it goes live we should have a previous games thread that's updated every time with a link to the game thread plus the backrooms. That'll help people who stumble across the forum see how the games pan out and what to expect.

    Yeah, basically as Jayo said above. I brought that up in forum requests and got a pretty resounding no. From the looks of it, mods will be required to do things like lock threads and ban users etc, but we can still have the game mod do the on-thread stuff. It was only a problem in AH because the mods there didn't like non-mod players backseating-modding (who could blame them) but in our own forum it should be ok I think. There's usually at least 2 mods isn't there, I've never seen a forum with only one mod.

    One thing about the links to the back forum, when the game is live the general and all the old threads need to be hidden so that people can't look at peoples profiles and see if they are online or not. It's too hard to completely ensure that all the post count data and online/offline status are hidden and the easiest way if that people can't see other people at all or can only see the people in the forum that they have designated.

    I think it's fair to say that the back forum was much better for everyone than a Quick Topic page, I would have liked to have seen the teams make better use of it and have threads for themselves for things like sus posts, power villagers hunting, things like that, but that will all come with time.

    Agreed that it was much better, however QT was easier to use on mobile. I'm not sure if it's the template on the back forum or what, but it's not built to be responsive and that mean I checked it and posted much less than I did with the QT. I wouldn't want to put any extra work on someone though if it's difficult to fix. Yeah we defo could have used the forums a bit better, but as me and Xara were killed off so early, poor old QB had the place to himself! :pac: Next time!

    I wonder would we be able to set it up to work on Tapatalk. I never even looked what forum software Max used.

    yeah, it can be done so that's a decent option until we manage to optimize the site. I used it on mobile with no real problems, just had to keep resizing the screen. I do have a gigantic phone though.

    that's great to hear re tapatalk. I didn't used the back forums too much because 90% of my play is via mobile and it wasn't the best navigation and posting experience on mobile with the backrooms.. but tapatalk should resolve that (totally forgot to check out compatibility...haven't used TT in ages).

    a non-boards mod "backseating modding" hopefully won't pose a problem... depends on who the the boards mods for the forum are though...... and whether they have a vendetta following a lynching :P

    If there's an issue with in-game mods then the whole forum idea is as well being scrapped and for us not to bother playing again. It won't be an issue, the guys know that this is how these games need to be run and the mod/s will surely come from our numbers.

    Would have been nice but to be fair, most people wouldn't have thought of it! You were alone for much longer than Barney too. It's one for us all to remember for next time!

    Did I just say "bit the bucket"? - sheesh!!

    I also liked Jay's idea of using the forum for adding more threads - like for collating suspect posts, etc. Never thought of that, and something to note for next time too.

    Halloween is my favourite time of the year. In my opinion it far surpasses x-mas. Looking for some original halloween costume ideas. Any ideas anyone? Gonna kit up the little ones in some tees from Sheepthrill. They'll be grand. The adult costumes on the other hand. Hmmm......

    A friend of mine went as a were-racoon a few years ago. Could only find a stripy tail to go with the outfit. And he had a fairly shoe polished looking racoon face.

    are you sure?

    Cos what I heard was that everyone HAS to dress up as the role they play in WW IV - apparently it's a condition of entry into the game...
