Also the 'ATAR Notes' header, isn't going across 100% of my page. There's a sizeable piece of white on the right... little css tweaks needed hmmm.

Not on the technical side, but can you disable forum signatures? When they take up half the page they're just annoying. Or atleast disable images in signatures.
you can disable sigs in your profile.

At the high end of the spectrum, the numerical value of respect really loses its meaning. perhaps put a cap on it, like +100 as max or something?

Respect cap.good idea, however i rmb enwiabe saying something about how tutors will be ranked in terms of respect or something along those lines? what if latter on we get like 10 diff ppl with the same +100 respect.

I'm only suggesting that because you're asking for a change though, I personally think capping it at 100 is just a token gesture which probably takes away more than it adds. Also after a while there will be a large amount of people at that level.

This isn't really a 2.0 suggestion, but you might want to think about entering a new lot of postcount usertitles to go with the new atarnotes development (I assume the current ones are from 4 years ago?)

On the topic of post counts as Russ pointed out, with those blocks that increase as post count increases, perhaps change it to a bar or something?The stars were cool :(
But yeah, I personally think the blocks look bad. A bar would suffice.

What about having it changed to a "recent threads" section, so that one hyperactive thread doesn't take over the entire box? Maybe with a bracketed number at the end to indicate how many recent replies?
Love this idea. Should definitely go ahead when things die down.
Also, is this still going ahead?
Like the new website, but where's IB?

There was a cool SMF mod for this... I originally had it implemented, but with all the chaos, it seems to have disappeared. Think Mr. Enwiabe prefers recent posts anyway. But it's definitely something to keep in mind.

I don't think it's necessary to sort universities into states, it just creates more effort clicking through. Thoughts?
I don't think it creates more efforts tbh. All of the state child boards for universities can be directly accessed from the AN forum homepage. It will become really cluttered if there are 30 or 40 unis being discussed on a single board.
I would just take the universities currently under the uni board in each of the state forums and move them so they all appear in the national forum uni board under each state, then delete.
Also, if you get time, maybe add UQ and UTAS sub forums because these a popular unis for med at least.
The same needs to be done with UMAT/Buy-Sell/Water Cooler boards because they are doubled up. They appear on the national forum and then appear again in each of the state forums.
And it was mentioned elsewhere, enwiabe said he was going to introduce an IB board, but maybe re-discuss it with him. I don't think it would hurt to have an IB board. I mean after all, it can only generate more traffic/exposure which is a good thing.
Here is a pictorial because I don't think I was very clear on the whole uni thing. :p

Prevent 1 or 2 post accounts from posting links. Recently had a lot of spambots trying to sell viagra.I've been on a few forums where the minimum post count to post links is 5. I think it's a good idea and helps prevent spam.

The closest I can think of is preventing topics being made by 1 posters. That said I do realize some people come here to post 1 post, and that is a "tutor wanted" ad, but with the new tutoring system coming into effect soonish that problem may be solved.Wouldn't that restrict a brand new user from making their own topic? I know that my first post here was a new topic. It would have annoyed me a lot if I had to post elsewhere before being able to make a topic that addressed the question I wanted to ask.
Also: Forcing a new user to make a few posts would just result in crappy posts being made or people hijacking threads.

There's this mod for SMF 2.0 that will block users under a certain postcount from posting links, might be worth exploring.
Edit: I think you can also do it by creating two groups (one for post counts under 1 and the other for over one) and then setting permissions accordingly. This method comes off to me as probably causing more problems than it's worth though.

My mistake... This was never a bug. Beware... By design... SMF's Last Post link contains message IDs which don't actually exist in the topic. It's an SMF design flaw. Make sure when linking to actually get the link from the post in the topic and not the Last Post link. Also... While I'm here... The Last Post issue isn't a bug either. SMF by default, for the sake of efficiency, does not count posts more than two levels deep. Not yet sure what I will do about this.

They're rounded. Shinny has had 7 reviews... I know you can only see the last 3 right now... But there were a couple that had given lower scores. The score is correct.

Because you're impatient! :p I ran some tests. Respect is working properly. However, post scores were cached from before the upgrade... Since the whole respect system was redone... Those were all wrong. Had to recount all the post scores... However... That changed the member respect scores to what they should be currently if previous respect scores from the old forum weren't taken into account. So I ported respect scores from my most recent backup back over. Everything should be okay now.

Yeah sorry. Old posts just fail on the new system. =/ Everything should be fine from here on out though.

Yeah this didn't change mine either:
Re: Exam stats + grades
EDIT: Um... why did my respect just drop by 19?
Because you're impatient! :p I ran some tests. Respect is working properly. However, post scores were cached from before the upgrade... Since the whole respect system was redone... Those were all wrong. Had to recount all the post scores... However... That changed the member respect scores to what they should be currently if previous respect scores from the old forum weren't taken into account. So I ported respect scores from my most recent backup back over. Everything should be okay now.
Haha okay thanks :)

With the note system, could we perhaps add a sort by rating or sort by downloads option? The current sort functions don't provide any means of sorting by quality.
David get on this plz. Also let me sort tutors by unapproved.

You can already do that. Just press search and sort by approved is the default for us. Just put it on low to high to see the unapproved ones.

Could you fix up the location of the 'Rate the impact that this service had on your marks' section on the tutoring review form. E.g. Here's mine. Not sure if it's just because I'm on Chrome, but I've tested it using the IE plug-in and it appears a bit on the side. I've had several students accidentally miss that box due to its location and give me a 1 on it (presumably missed it at least :P).
Weird. Never noticed that before... Anyway, it's fixed.

Any thoughts about my suggestion to have a "tutoring renewal" pop up once every 3 or 4 months? (only active users will see this). I can see the tutor section becoming extremely clogged in a few years, with a lot of these people having discontinued tutoring.
That is a brilliant idea. I think once per year is probably a better, less annoying timeframe, but we'll certainly have that so that tutors who aren't active will be removed from the listing.
David, put this on the very bottom of your to-do list because while it's a good idea, it can easily wait :P
Run a script that requires tutors to renew their ads on 1st of January, 20xx every year. This will take the form of a forced message on login. "We notice that you have a tutoring ad listed with us. If you are still tutoring, please hit 'renew' to keep your tutoring ad in our listing. If you're no longer tutoring please hit 'cancel' to cancel your tutor listing."
People will have until the 1st of March to hit 'renew'. Anyone who hasn't renewed by 1st of March has their listing deleted, along with anyone who hit 'cancel'.
Make sure your script doesn't delete people who signed up from 1st January to 1st March of that year (just envisioning if you put a 0 or a 1 in a renew column in the DB, a new person signing up wouldn't have renewed etc.)

Is there a "remove add" button ATM? i noticed one tutorial advertisement just changed the info to "no longer offering" - does this mean you cannot delete ATM ?

I reckon there should be a delete functionality!
PM us if you want it deleted. <3 I have reasons for not adding it... I don't remember what those reasons are at the moment... But I do have reasons! I think.
