***** BLACKHAWKS FORUM ANNOUNCEMENT ******

[Tater]

I checked all the major themes except the IHN theme and it was there in the top left corner.

OK, I see it now. Thanks.
I just wonder why some sites don't have a button like that at the bottom of the page. When you get to the end of a thread you are at the bottom, just makes sense to put a button like that or a menu down there.

This isn't going to be news to some of you, but I wanted to get something posted just to keep everyone aware of something pretty cool that's ongoing.

Our fearless leader, Rush, is currently finishing a merger between these message boards and the ones at Indian Head Nation.

To my knowledge, this isn't going to effect anyone at CCS. I believe there's also some sort of database merging happening to allow their posters to have the same post counts and usernames as they had at the prior website.

I clicked around at IHN recently and there was some good Hawks discussion, similar to what we've had going here. I think both groups are going to be benefit from this merger.

To the new posters: welcome aboard.
To the old posters: please extend a sincere welcome to the posters that shall be arriving soon.

I've already seen a few pop into conversation such as Samurai, Grimson, and LordKOTL and they've fit in quite well. I have little doubts the rest shall do the same.

Besides, we're all gonna be feeling pretty damn good come the second week of June, right?

Will Bolland still be > us? Wait, what am I saying? Of course he will.

Correct.

Nice new site. Glad to see the merger finally went through.

Sorry for logging in so late.... I was on vacation for a week.

I checked all the major themes except the IHN theme and it was there in the top left corner.

My problem is that at the bottom of threads there is no way to get to the top without having to scroll back up. I don't use the previous thread/next thread buttons I just go back to the activity page or navigation to see what's new. The IHN theme is the only theme on my computer that has a button at the bottom for top of page. But at the top of the page there is no navigation to get back to the main forum. On all the other themes there is navigation to get back to the forum. But no button to get to the top of the page. Is there a way to either add navigation to the IHN theme or put a "Top of Page" link in between the previous thread/Next Thread navigation?

Personally I can't wait until the first war between Joe, HawkWriter, and our new friends.

Shall be epic.

We are very much like a pack of pit bulls...not the vicious attack any enemy part, more like we prefer to piss and defecate on our front lawn.

But I digress.

We need to get BigPete over here to assert his athorati....

I've got it set for late February/early March when the Blackhawks hit their annual slump before the postseason.

 

[LordKOTL]

Glad to see most of the drunkards, perverts, psychopaths, and malcontents arrived. Please use a #2 pencil and ignore the squishy-squishy sounds.

 

[DMelt36]

Usually when I have a busy day at work I'd miss a grand total of 2 or 3 posts. Not the case anymore. That's pretty cool.

 

[MassHavoc]

DMelt... how does the little colored square bar work under the names? For known quantities? Is it posts or reputation or something?

That's your CCS reputation. You can add or subtract from someone's reputation by clicking the star near the bottom left corner of each post (just to the right of the "Thanks" button).

It just says you're an unknown quantity because you probably have very little reputation as a new poster here.

For the most part I think it's some glorified CCS popularity contest, but people who tend to start annoying threads or post repeated nonsense end up in the red.

I posted this earlier in an IGT but I'll leave it here for those that missed it.

"If you go to your settings page you'll see a "rep power" above the posts you've thanked and a "total rep" above the posts you've been thanked in. Each "Thanks" is the equivalent of 1 rep. As you build rep, your rep (or dislike) power grows as well.

I.E. Currently I have 13 rep power. If I was to "thank" a post, the poster would still receive just 1 rep. If I was to positive rep a post, the poster would receive 13 rep. If I was to negative rep a post, the poster would lose 13 rep. Make sense?

The star next to the thanks button is how you use both the rep and the dislike. There is an approve or disapprove selection screen when the star is clicked (approve=rep, disapprove=dislike). You can also leave a comment along with either that will show up as a notification to the user. Keep in mind that you can only give out so much thanks, reps, and negs in a 24 hour period before you are only allowed to thank posts.

Happy disliking! "

Ahhh that's what I thought, we had + and - Rep on IHN as well, but I don't see a way to give people negative here so I was curious if it was just a Plus only think with the star. Now that I clicked on it I see that you can minus... popularity contest indeed.

Ahhh thank you, sorry I missed it before... is there a limit to how many times I can negative rep Grimson?

 

[Ares]

Yup.... disliking takes consistency or large numbers..... what we call.... a dislike train..... Gibbs post dat dislike train pic of yours

 

[DMelt36]

Ahhh thank you, sorry I missed it before... is there a limit to how many times I can negative rep Grimson?

Yeah, you'll eventually get a message to spread the rep around before you can give it to the same poster again. Although I'm sure Grimson will have no trouble picking those up from other posters. He's so, uhh, enthusiastic about his posts.

I'm +189 already and I haven't even started in the B&I forum. That's where I'll get in trouble. Staying away as long as I can stand it.
