Ricky Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I just wanted to thank whoever decided to put the external link to the writer's stories at the bottom of each posting. It makes navigating to the story section a breeze. Well done. Such a little thing with a huge impact. THANKS!

Ricky Posted December 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Ricky, Thank you for noticing that was one of the small things the PR team did. Was that a recent change of have I just not been paying attention? (I like to check and see how many of my brain cells are still shaking hands now and then.) ken barber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken barber Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I would say about a month ago we did that. It was really close to the time frame we launched the awards system, so that may have shadowed some of the smaller things we did. For instance we now have default avatars for readers and authors. Of course the member can change their avatar and replace it with what ever (appropriate) image they would like but at least we don't have those creepy shadow figures hanging around. Always reminded me of a creepy old man perving on the boys LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always reminded me of a creepy old man perving on the boys LOL I DID notice the new stock default avitars and thought they were cool. And ya, now that you mention it they were a bit like the raincoat and the little red wagon with the puppy guy. CREEPY. Well done. My first thought was, "Hey, isn't that a label off of a bottle of booze? And then I saw the silhouettes were gone. I'm SO glad they're gone too. I had to resist the impulse to shoot my computer several times because it looked just like the targets at the range. AND because it's just fun to shoot up computers anyways. But windows is getting better. At least that's what I keep telling myself as I chamber another round and holler, PULL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Wow, the badges sort just appear there too. Seems like every time I look things change. I don't even recognize myself sometimes. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken barber Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Ricky, Glad you are enjoying them. I must say the moderator team actually has to identify and manualy give the awards. They have been on the ball with it since we implemented the system and have done a tremendous job. So kudos to D'Artagnon, A.B. And Zack for making this work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Caldwell Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I would point out also, that the reason you will see the badges change is when the members reaches another milestone. General when you get a badge it stays with you. That can get quite large, so one of the things we do is some badges have levels. So when you reach the next level, you gain the new badge, but the old one is removed. If you have the higher level badge, then it is easy to assume that you already achieved the previous badge. This is to keep things from getting too cluttered but still recognize the contributions of our members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 So what you're telling me is that al these great authors can't devote the time to their writing because I need a badge? I'm grateful but I'd be happier with more chapters. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken barber Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Ricky, I think they volunteer to do it as sort of a distraction. We all need that. If you are interested in helping them so they have even more free time I am sure they would love the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I must say I have enjoyed my stay here more than other forums I have been a part of in the past. It's laid out intricately and I can collapse certain areas I'm not looking at to make it easier to navigate if I want. Site design is good and we have a great community of authors and readers.
