Just so it didn’t get lost, I’ve created a new topic for this based on detn8r’s post in the “30 days” discussion.
He was looking for the following features:
- Seeing who you gave feedback to in ‘Edit My Profile’
- Seeing the demographics of last posts, post counts & reputations above the birth dates
- Moving the signature to the bottom of the post bit instead of just under the post itself
- Making the signature divide line a complete line, not just half
- Chat (but, I’m guessing that’s an obvious one)
- The separating line between sticky threads and the normal threads
- One Touch Ban and Clean
- Arcade
- Disabling negative rep
- Moderating stats
- Download Manager surprised no one noticed it wasn’t working!
Feel free to add to this list.
Seeing the demographics of last post et. al. above birthdate
This isn’t going to happen, mainly because it isn’t really necessary and it creates a performance issue (additional queries). The information is still on the member profile, however. Just click the Statistics tab on anyone’s profile and you’ll see all of that.
Arcade
I’ve reinstalled and upgraded the arcade. It now automatically prunes scores on a rolling 30-day basis (so no one stays king of the hill forever!). I’ve also configured it so that members will need to make at least one forum post on any given day that they want to play in the arcade. If they want to play every day, they have to post at least once every day. Should help improve forum participation, which is really the point.
Finally, there is a tournament capability that is really pretty cool. You can setup tournaments, people can sign-up, it’s fun.
I haven’t made a general announcement, but you can find a link to the arcade on the Community menu. Please test it! I haven’t categorized the games (yet) or done much to customize it, so please give it a shot before we make any “official” announcement on the forums.
Regarding moderating stats, the author of the original add-on we used died in a scuba diving accident. Needless to say, he won’t be updating his add-on to make it compatible with vBulletin 3.8.
I’ve gone ahead and installed a similar mod that is compatible with vB 3.8. You can access it via the Quick Links menu as “Moderating Stats.”
Chat (but, I’m guessing that’s an obvious one)
I’ve enabled the chat, but there appear to be issues with it. You’ll find a link on the Community menu.
It’s working, but the formatting is off. Try it and you’ll see what I mean. You can resize the window to so you can see the entire chat area, but I won’t have time to mess with the formatting this morning (I leave for work in a bit).
Moving the signature to the bottom of the post bit instead of just under the post itself
Okay, this is fixed. 🙂

And it’s too bad about the demos. I actually enjoyed looking at them every time I logged on :p

I was referring to “Moving the signature to the bottom of the post bit instead of just under the post itself.” Is it not at the bottom of the postbit? Maybe I don’t understand what you’re after.
The Download Manager is now back online.
One Touch Ban and Clean
Now installed. I haven’t tested this yet, so please let me know the first time this is used and confirm that it’s working as it should.
Thanks!
As per the screenshots, you will see using the legacy postbit, it (signature) doesn’t drop to the bottom of the postbit, but instead is just under the post. I used your first post, Jeff as an example as how a signature should look (even if the post isn’t as long as yours was.. as an example, Dermot’s (again, image attached). You’ll also notice the signature divide line isn’t a complete line, just a short one.

I didn’t realize you were using the legacy postbit. This is not even a configurable option anymore. I queried the database and discovered that there are only 20 people out of over 41,000 who are using the legacy postbit, so I’m not spending any time supporting it or customizing for it. Sorry.
