is there anyway that the rep system si coming back just a question
The rep system turned into a system similar to the thumbs up/thumbs down on Youtube. In the end, reputation didn't really mean how good of a member a certain person was. That's why it was removed, and it will probably not return.

What's the maximum amount of letters you can do in a post?
The default value for this is 63,536 for vBulletin boards, but admins can also customize this. You'll have to ask someone with a gray name.

This is debatable.

Maybe, but if you take the con position you'll lose.
Thing is, even with a system like this, it can work.

Taking the Youtube experience for example: The channels I sub to happen to really let all kinds of discussion happen, and the only time some gets thumbed down is if you are spamming a discussion.

I would think cooler heads and good support would make this possible in this forum, but I could be wrong. Or perhaps right. Or both. :dizzy:

Idk maybe Im out of place, but I just see pros getting mad thumbs up on youtube for saying **** like "LOL"

can you say pole jockers?

I think it would be a good system but it isnt the type that can be self run, even with moderation it would be alot of work for alot less gain.

What did the rep system allow ppl to do exactly, Ive heard but I dont have any official knowledge?

I think we use 10,000 chars.

It let you click a box on the side of people's post which would let you give positive or negative rep and leave a small message. The more rep you had, the more you could affect other people. It ended up being abused to anonymously flame members (as the message didn't say who it was from), people would keep rep-spamming each other, then -rep bombing others.

I keep trying to change my avatar, but it won't let me. I've saved the image as a .png and a .jpg, and neither work. Any reason this could be?...

It did the same for me, but when I resized it, it still told me that it was "unable to save image."

Resized version above. ^

Was speaking with T-Block earlier, he's been having the same problem, so I tried to change mine. Same error message.

Posted in the Shack, will report back hopefully with some good news.

Any estimate on how long it'll take to fix this problem?
Hope it doesn't end up taking too long.....

I was wondering about it too.

I guess it's just some sort of bug or something.

Not being able to change avatars isn't that big of a deal but it's still meh.

Other than just changing the "new reply" buttons with an image in another language, I don't think there's anything posible that would translate an entire forum's posts into another language.

Well other than using this of course.

all the avatars have gone black on me, and the search function doesn't work right now. Can someone link me to the Where The Wild Things Are thread in Media?

For the new Smashboards Mobile, there isn't an option to go from a thread back to a board, unless you went from board--> thread and just hit the back button. However, there are times when I just follow the thread from my subscribed and it gets confusing.

Can we add a button to Smashboards mobile that lets you go from thread --->back to board?

How do you become a Mod on smashboards?

I've always wanted to know how people are just "promoted" as such.

What are the requirements?

It's simple: Be a responsible member. You will get promoted when the staff knows that you are a helpful, well known member of a part of the forum.

But keep in mind that those who ask for a promotion rarely get it. Just wait and see what happens.

As much as Id love to be a mod,I can't see it ever happening.

problem I canr see my avatar on top when u log in my friend also why?
That's because you don't have an avatar at the moment. After the avatar function crashed, I guess the staff had to remove all of them.

If you want a new one, just go to User CP -> Edit Avatar and upload a new one.
