Upgrade Completed 4.1.17 \ Leaderboard Added


Recommended Posts

I just upgraded the forums to 4.1.17. There are a bunch of new features (highlighted below). Basically there are a ton of additional sites that you can embed from. Another feature is that word censors are back. Meaning we can now change bad words lol. Let's not test this one out, but it was an issue in the past so we are glad to have this feature again. Well, if you want to test it out type in the full name of the team that Bill Belichick coaches and you will see what happens.

Another new feature is the LeaderBoard. Look under Activity and you will see a new Leaderboard. IPS says:

The new Leaderboard is designed to better highlight your most active members and content based on reputation and other metrics. The Leaderboard will greatly enhance both member and content discovery on your community.

Basically this makes it a lot easier to see 1) Reputation leaders, all time and by day and 2) The content with the highest reputation by day. Pretty useful if you want to see the most popular topics.

Here are some of the other updates that you will see:

Added quite a few new embed providers

Oh and you get a little note on your profile when you have the highest rep for a single day. Exciting stuff. Squad goals.

Jetsfan80 and Bombdirt (who?) are rigging the rep results in some "100,000 posts" post.  My constituents are gathering the funds for a recount.

What does everyone think about the Leaderboard?

Two thoughts:

1.  Some posters I've never heard of are atop the leaderboard because they keep repping each other in this "make 100,000 posts" thread.  You should remove that thread from Leaderboard consideration as it's not a realistic view.  I post on here, what, ten times a day and I've never heard of Bombdirt and yet you'd think he's your most prolific poster.

2.  On the Top Members sort it goes by lifetime contribution.  More than 75% of the guys on that list are no longer members, at least not active at all.  You've then got the JI posters whose post counts never moved over and we don't appear anywhere.  I'd recommend you reset the time period of these Top Members, make it a running 2 year lookback, makes the feature relevant.

That all makes sense. But they don't give us filtering options, so it isn't an option unfortunately.

The only part I disagree with is crediting posts that were on another site. This wasn't an official merger haha.

I will look to see if I can do something filtering related. Thanks.

Perhaps if you delete the "100,000 posts" thread that will in turn delete all it's history and the false positives.

Understood you can't give JI credits for JN membership, but be advised that we'll never be able to catch up, we're at a 10 year disadvantage, we'd have to pull some heavy joewilly12 tactics to make up that ground.

We have an off topic community that we welcome and embrace.

Well, their need to post softcore pornography all day long is a detriment to your Leaderboard feature.

Not criticizing your embrace of the OT community, that's cool.  But it makes the Leaderboard something I'm not going to pay much attention to as it's not an accurate reflection of the football community, it's a shame as it's a pretty cool tool.  Is there no way to make two Leaderboards?  One on topic and one off?

The rep system is horse sh*t since the guys leading were under a different system yet retain a ridiculous amount of points.

Yep Im back Max :P

 

I would look into that problem but I am in first lol.

Maybe we can just drop the others, leave me, and call it a day?

So, upon review of this 'leaderboard' I'm realizing I'm 3rd, 4th and 3rd over the last 3 years respectively... or something like that, and I never post the hot chicks.

I suddenly understand the look my wife gives me when she sees me posting. I need to use my time better.

I will create a 200,000 posts thread with hardcore images.  That should do it.

LOL, ironic, but the new site update caused that.  I hit "submit reply" and nothing happened.  So I hit it again and apparently it did a double-post.

(Hitting the button now, won't hit it twice)

@Maxman ever since you completed upgrade I'm getting a ton of pop-up/take-over ads like "congrats, you win a..." on mobile.

Only way to get rid of them without clicking "ok" is to force quit, and reinstall chrome app.

Used to happen occasionally, now it's non-stop.
