Wedge

So it only affects existing poll threads:- from the option's help "Remember this if polls are not working." Maybe in the early days polls were a frequent problem and kept preventing the board / thread from loading / displaying. So this option was written so the admin could turn them off pending a fix, and it has never been removed??

Can't see a use for it now - as said if we decided we didn't want polls anymore we'd do that via permissions and let the existing ones time out or lock them or whatever.

"Fixed in r...."

Are you fixing all these bugs as you go along or just reserving an r number?

 :cool:

We don't use the badges - if fact I don't know how they work :o But we do use the stars feature for their post-count related group.

One annoying thing is that the name of every membergroup that a member is in is displayed under their name on all their posts. I have had to create a group with a blank title to get around this. So my one request would be a membergroup option to display or not to display. (If this is outside the scope of your question then please ignore me :) )

I agree with this. We edit posts for two reasons - the first as you describe but the second and more common is to lend a hand e.g. to correct a link, to help show an image etc, and under this second circumstance we would not want the OP to be prevented from making edits to the rest of the post.

As for making it default - if the Mod has live627's choice I would make it the default, but otherwise I think you will get too many "bug" reports stating their members cannot edit posts any more ::)Is that the case here? Can admods just say "don't edit that again or you're banned / put into a group that cannot edit"?



(ps I really like the fact you can easily add quotes from two different posts :) )

"Every problem is an opportunity"  :wow:

An opportunity to explain the genius that is Wedge's package manager :)

E.g:

"How do I parse mods / plug-ins to install them?"
Using Wedge you do not need to make code changes. This is because Wedge's Plugin Manager works in a much more advanced way.

Instead of making messy and potentially conflicting code changes, Wedge's php code 'hook points' frequently look to the database for extra code to run.

Plugins therefore do not change the code files - rather they add code to hooks in the the database.

This has the following advantages...

My lot use the calendar - it's one of the pluses of SMF. From forum owner perspective my only reservation about it being a plugin is that it may not be kept updated for new Wedge versions and stop working, whereas if it's core and it stopped working it would be a priority bug.

After 4 years or research, planning, waiting, waiting and waiting for SMF2, set-up and migration, my club finally switched from Yuku and went live on Monday. It's testament to how bad Yuku had got that nobody has complained and already we are getting more posts and visitors than before.

So I haven't been here much over the past month or so and I'm wondering what happened to the Facebook page, and where you are with releasing a demo and even an alpha. See I'm not much good on the techie discussions and am better suited to the testing :)
