[CS Lounge] Summer time sunny days

I like variety is good.

I wonder if it changed trust lvls at all.

I’m wondering if they added account wide ignores or are planning to?

Other news, I got my VA Id card, and picking up my DV plates for my car in a few days. I guess I am set. Also, I am eyeballing an acreage of land just out side of town with utility hook ups, talking with a realtor right now.

Interesting!

  • Revised summary at the bottom of the first post in a thread
  • Auto generation of the next bullet in a bulleted list - I just found out
  • Lots more report options - all the original are still there. No option to add a note though.
  • Main index page for the forum looks normal on PC so no changes there for me
  • Summary page for our forum profile now has more options for stats. Like recent read time vs just total read time. That should help with people going for trust levels on the rolling window.
  • No Battletags, yet. Yet.

Good morning everyone! Today I get to see a friend I have not seen in something like 7 years. We are going to visit, and to try to troubleshoot my 19 year old car so it can pass inspection next month. Likely the emissions purge valve I put in last year is defective. Hopefully that is it. It runs fine, but it does throw a code that won’t pass inspection. Seems like a good use of my Tuesday down time.

sets out lots of coffee, tea, assorted other beverages, and snacks

coffee: :teapot: ::dracthyr_tea: :bubble_tea: :cookie: :strawberry: :pie:

EDIT - will add new things to my list as I find them.

I was hoping for BTags as well.

I have faith it will eventually happen. I know our Blues have requested changes, as they have publicly said. At least Account Wide Ignore would be a huge improvement.

I don’t use it very often, but when I do I want the PERSON gone from my forum index, not just one of their characters. Might have to test that but how
 hmmm

I have QUESTIONS!

  • How does the forum software currently determine the “users” statistic for the thread summary? Is users a count of the characters posting, the licenses posting, or the Bnet accounts posting?
  • If a post has 50 likes and 33 users does that mean the same Bnet accounts (licenses, or chars) are liking posts more than once using alts?

Have there always been a TON of options to watch, get notifications, mute, etc based on categories? Have we always been able to set our own alert and mute filters based on our own custom set keywords?

Some elements of the update suggest to me that this update is laying the groundwork for a btag update.

If users is number of readers, the numbers are wonky.

If users is the number of posters than the numbers would indicate a number of the likes are lurkers. I know I read a number of threads and only leave likes.

I think the users are who has posted.

You can click on it. Also, ashamed to be the 3rd most active poster in the thread. I feel like a total spammer :stuck_out_tongue:

Account wide ignore hopefully coming soon.

I tried the 'something else" button today didn’t work, so I had to select the closes option.

What does the Make Wiki button do?

EDIT: Wait, it is only for Vrak? :eyes:

Also, it appears you can now report your own post.

I feel like the ‘Something else’ option at least should have a description box.

I don’t know what changes they’ve implemented recently. What happens is usually we have a lot of requests in and we know they’ll be working on some things (which seem like they are a ways out, and then surprise! They are in this build. I haven’t seen anything yet though, I’ll see what I can track down.

The “Something Else” with a text box is a new flavor in the Blizzard incarnation of the Discourse forum software.

Other Discourse-based forums have had that option from Day 1. It really depends on how the local administrators and moderators want to handle reports.
