I just clicked on the link where you could "blog" a post. It worked pretty good other than the fact the image links don't work and neither do the web codes for bold [b]. Did I do something wrong?

I just tried it on your post and everything loaded OK. Let me know if you keep running into this issue.Quote:

Edit: My info on the left side actually indicates Blog Entries: 1 now. And it actually has the link for my blog area. Interesting (but it still isn't working right :) ).
I made a slight tweak. LMK how that treats you, Rudy.
Works perfectly now. Whatever you did worked. Thanks Chris.
When I clicked on "New Posts" I could see and access Oneback's "Donator Dynasty Sub Forum". Just giving you a heads up incase you don't want it to work that way. I haven't donated yet...
Appreciate that. Not sure if we'll want that to be explicitly hidden or not but maybe we just don't let it show up in search results.Quote:

So would the donor have to invite the people in the dynasty to access the forum? Because you can't see them from the front page, just only when you click on whats new.Quote:

Oh ok, well this just a suggestion, but maybe you could make them password protected, that way it'll be a bit easier than having to keep up with an extra link for regular members.Quote:

Not for each individual user, no.Quote:

Which style are you using now?Quote:

Looks like we dropped the ball on that one lol.Quote:

Yes! I loved the way they had em on Utopia from MyGamerCard.netQuote:

Another cool thing would be a reputation system. The forums over on PSU.com have it and it works fairly well, and it's a good way to tell which members make really good posts and which ones are clowns. Just a suggestion!
In my experience, the reputation system is always abused and turns disastrous.
Personally, I like the PSN & XBL Gamer IDs like they are, and would rather not have to scroll past Gamercards.
Well I don't spend a whole lot of time over there, so I wouldn't know how abused it is or not. In theory, it sounds like a good idea, but if people abuse it, it does seem pretty pointless.Quote:

When it's taken seriously, it's awesome. But picture a system like that on a few other sites we know ... and imagine what would happen.
There's a LOT of sites that it wouldn't work on. However, I think it has the potential to work well on this site. Most of the members currently posting are mature individuals who have been playing the NCAA series and chatting it up for years. It definitely has the possibility of getting abused, but I honestly don't think it would here.
I do want my PSN/XBL code, though. My sig looks so sickly. :(
I thought not. No biggie, but it would make scanning through the site much quicker as traffic increases. Is that a limitation of vBulletin?Quote:

Right, but when they're included in every post, that adds up quickly. For example, your avatar is 120x120, but without it your post would probably be half the size it is.Quote:

Right now, no. I didn't have any luck with the link set-up you posted a while back.Quote:

We've held off on images (or PSN/XBL cards) in sigs for the reasons mentioned above. We'd rather have more characters in post responses than signatures and not expand the size too much to where posts seem buried in pics. We tried to balance that by offering a larger avatar size, however.
Rep is something that could be very good or very bad, but we're staying away for now. We want to make sure each and every post is considered equal here and an out of control rep system wouldn't allow that. Personally, I don't think that would be a problem here, but we'd rather be safe than sorry.
