Acorn Domains Forum - New Platform Plans

Responsive would be nice. I have a wiiiiddddeeeeee monitor, so some sort of sizing would be grand :)

POST ratings would be nice - Note I said post before I get the normal quote and 'you can do that already with the stars' quote and reply that is for THREADS.

Like button, or thanks, or whatever. Just as a way of saying 'yeah you summed that up perfect :)

Image hosting would be cool. Save us having to upload to elsewhere, then post URL to insert. Will also ensure that images will be on board.

I use this forum to talk, so the classifieds (didn't even know it was there until linked to it) I don't use.

Maybe........ if you're feeling brave......... you could do something like the IMTalk tools (never use the forum, just the free tools lol).

Sure more will come to mind.
 
What downtime are you expecting during the transfer over?

That's good stuff Mr Spider, responsive is a given, we'll either offer desktop sizing or give a sensible fixed width.

Yes, I want a Thanks/like button for each 'post', this is standard I believe.

Image hosting, Id like to be able to offer that too, using another site to image host and then putting the url in is clumsy. Will put it on the would like list.

Minimal, there will be a couple of test imports done on a demo server so that the process is straightforward on the live import. Generally I like to say 8 hours to give a buffer for things not going to plan and to allow us to have a bit of a tidy up and bug finding session before the public get let in.

Having said that, it will most likely be carried out over a weekend or late evening/night given most of the activity here will be in the week during the day/early evening.

Post ratings, likes, image hosting all default. Just requires group permissions to allow it. I hate finding external image uploaders, so much so i dont upload images if a site doesnt allow attachment uploads lol
 
Hope it goes smoothly Adam/Steve. I know very little about this kind of stuff, but if you need a hand with anything, let me know.
 
Sounds great!

Just one (silly) question... Will all the existing threads, posts and histories be retained and carried across into the new platform?

Yes in that respect very little will change
 
I'd like to be able to ignore the mouthpiece for Nominet. Is that possible?
 
Is it possible to ahve it so YouTube vids can be embedded into posts.

Every so often links are posted, but I never click them, as don't know if they are NSFW. However, having the title show up, normally is a great help.
 
Any more news on this Steve? Is there a date set?

Everything in motion after a slight delay, hoping to do the migration after a couple of tests in the first couple of weeks in March. :)
 
Is there any way of blocking the constant barrage of tapatalk ads?
Maybe like a cookies acceptance, we can click once to say we have seen the ads and not have to suffer them all the time.

No. The ads are delivered unless you pay for the app, if you're on the free version that's how they generate revenue. It's not down to the forum owner

Yes it is. It is the forum owner who is choosing to show the ads.
I think it is called affiliate marketing
 
You can disable the smart banner which popups up in the options which will be disabled once we migrate as its just annoying. You can also as an owner disable advertising or switch to DPF or Admob display platforms whether that would be done or not i could say but I highly doubt it considering the very few ways of monetising tapatalk...........its got to pay for its existence in someway I would imagine as its more of a ball ache for the forum owner to have installed than it does give any benefit to the forum.
