Forum Thank You Feature.... the demise of.

[rich83]

Hi everyone...

Unfortunately it looks like we might be loosing this feature. Is anyone going to cry themselves to sleep at night if that is the case?

It is a good idea but doesn't get used as much as it used to but is good to show who is helpful/knowledgable. Is there an equivalent we could use on the new forum?

True... but usually those who are helpful are just helpfully anyway without needing this "doggy biscuit" treat.

I would like to keep it too... but it seems that the people who wrote the mod. have stopped updating it and therefore support is non existent.  

And its absolutely vital that we upgrade the forum soon as its becoming obsolete.

I get the reason for dumping it, as you want to keep security high with the latest mods / version - to keep the forum online. 

That, for me, far outweighs the benefit of little bits of sugar coating.

Hi Scottymon.

Its nothing to do with security.... Its just the fact that the forum scripting is changed as it is upgraded through 1.1.19 and v2 to the current 2.0.8

Things change and if the writer of the mods doesnt keep on top of this then unless we are left with not much choice but to drop the mod.

I don't use SMF, but usually versions are updated for security or compatibility reasons.

At the end of the day, I think you need to do whatever is required to keep the forum online, if a few mods are debunked, so be it.

Keep up the good work.

Just replace it with a hall of fame thread where knowledgeable, helpful members are listed for all to celebrate. Or just not tell anyone and see who actually notices it.
