    Circles under Rank

    in Welcome Center

    Posted

    Those circles under member titles are apparently called pips. There is a new pip for each new milestone post. I don't know exactly what they are, but I believe some milestones are 10, 50, 100, 250, 1000, and 5000. The most pips and posts I've seen on a user (previously Eternal Edge, now Ame) is eight.

    Have the "All Content" (default) option for the search bar include members (and maybe just change it to all). It includes every category except members.

    I believe that the IPS Board formatting we use for the forums is what manages the use of the Search Bar in that manner. Unfortunately, without someone who knows very well what they're doing reprogramming it, it may be impossible at this time to change the default search settings. In the meantime, the best option is to change the search option from "All Content" to "Members" when searching for users:

    Alternatively, Bazaro's solution works, too. Searching without any text will bring up an advanced search, where you may switch to a Member Search tab and proceed from there. I will add this to the Advanced Suggestions spoiler in the OP.

    Note: I'm using mobile so I'm not sure if this applies to PC

     

    Can it be made that if you view the notifications from the bottom part of the screen or if you viewed the page where you are notified of, you won't need to have to view the notification bar to reduce the number of notifications you have to zero?

     

    I find it as something that should be improved because it's tiring to have to check the notifications bar just to have it reduced to zero so as to not be confused if there is something new or not.

    I think I know what you're referring to and I share that sentiment with the frustration. Seemingly, the only way to remove the red notification counter from your notifications tab is by viewing all recent notifications, regardless of if you close the pop-up notification at the bottom of the screen when a new notification occurs. I believe this cannot fixed as of now, though I will add it to Advanced Suggestions in the OP.

    The layout of topics in the "On the Hunt" subforum and a few others is extremely confusing. Posts seem not to be ordered by when they were posted.

     

    I don't really know the reason topics are like this in some subforums, but at least for me, it does more harm than good. It also refers to all submitted topics as "Questions", which when I was originally making the relationship variable guide made me question if I was posting in the right place because I wasn't asking a question. 

     

    Is there a way for individual users to change this layout, and if not, can one be considered (assuming it's possible)?

    This is something that bothers me in the Site Inquiries sub-forum too, though since most of the threads here concern questions, I suppose it's more applicable. I will talk with Ame to determine if the ability to create normal threads vs. question threads is possible, though I imagine if it were, we would already have that power. If this ability to change thread types is not possible, then I think it would be worthwhile opening discussion with frequent On The Hunt users to hear the average opinion of users. Should we prefer normal threads to question threads, then that can be changed.

    Notification problem

    It seems like your notification settings are set in a way that posting in any thread will notify you of replies.

    If the icon being pointed at in the screenshot above is green, then you will receive notifications when anyone posts in the thread you submitted a reply to. I would suggest going through your Notifications page (http://www.rebornevo.com/forum/index.php?/notifications/options/) and updating notifications so that you are only notified about what you'd like to know. In the meantime, you may also check content you follow, which will let you know what you follow. If you updated your notifications so you aren't notified when updates are made to what you follow, then the notifications should stop.

     

    If you've got any other questions, let us know and we'll continue to help.

    So I read the above posts about a week ago (week ago) and I think I'll just present my abridgment on Reborn's history as I lived through it. This will likely feel more like a history anecdote with focus on auth than a dive into comparing and contrasting experiences against other users.

     

    I joined Reborn on December 31st, 2013 and met some very cool users during the first three months here, including Flux, Aessance, Jericho, Murdoc, Cowtao, Tacos, Dobby, Zephyr, and Telos. Some of them frequented the server, some were active in the Pokemon Reborn scene, and some were active in the RP environment. Everyone was different enough that it was vast enough a pool of candidates from which to get to know anyone, but seemingly chill enough together that Reborn felt like a community no other had ever been. Reborn then felt like an extended family, except like cool cousins instead of racist in-laws. As 2014 went by, I suppose all I can recall were the many instances during which HostGator gave us all major issues. Like some particular forefathers, the community did have a sense of unity, maybe frustration directed at HostGator, or maybe all was well at the time.

     

    I remember a particularly nasty run-in with Mashew and Nyrias (both GMods at the time), during which I called out Mashew (I think) for creating a public apology thread. Let's skim the details there, but I had left feeling pretty bitter towards the two for seeming, in my opinion, close-minded to my opinion. This was a time when when relationships between users and auth were much more rigid. You could get /kick'd for pretty simple reasons, but the general vibe was toleration. That felt comfortable, since it's the environment I spent Reborn in during my early year.

     

    2015 was a busy year, I can safely say that. As I recall, there were internal problems between auth resulting in some expulsions from the auth team early in the year. A lot of friends I had at the time were becoming auth then (Jericho, Tacos, Sheep, Hilda) and some old acquaintances were stepping down (Kiozo, Maelstrom, Cowtao). This is a time I spent in backchannels getting to learn the history of Reborn from more experienced members as it happened and then unfolded. Drama was pretty common each week. If you were to look at the volume of memes going around Reborn now, replace all but a quarter of that with drama and you'll have a rough idea of how I remember it being. It was at this time that I recall relations with the auth starting to sway with the months. As more familiar faces started to become auth, users would be more comfortable speaking with the auth about whatever they'd like, and things would loosen up. I attribute this with the then-surprising sinking of those previously kind relations as some nastier warnings and drama went down. I imagine the comfort between non-auth and auth was a signal for more risky behavior, since the kind, chill auth wouldn't be too harsh for their friends. That sometimes happened, unfortunately, and favoritism then became the next issue on the table. I'm really not sure if that problem has disappeared. I want to say the auth have steered away from that since. Also, 2015 was the year of the bagel. Excellent work, amigos.

     

    2016 is where I have the clearest memory of incidents. Whether this is because I joined the auth in November 2015 and became more invested than ever before or because the events stuck out the most or simply because it wasn't as long ago, I can only wager an educated guess. This seemed to be a point at which users began to enunciate their wishes for the community. I turn to the two examples of particular, but unmentioned users who clearly communicated their ideas for improvements in Reborn and Equality & Fairness. While E&F was a headache for any auth who remembers, I do want to mention its effectiveness. I had never previously heard of a coalition of users pushing for improvements in Reborn in the way that E&F did with that success. Certainly there was associated drama, this was a butting of heads between auth and users wanting fast, effective changes in Reborn. The outcome they pushed for was not implemented as they had wanted, it was warped in ways. However, they had success in pushing that change. Anyway, those are just two mentions of ways that change was starting to progress for the end user in the community. Definitely a busy year.

     

    2017 is now and it's been a little busy so far. Let's see where it leads.

    I've seen many people on Showdown who can't speak English and because of a rule that says we can't speak other languages. I'm lucky that I could help in some way 'cause I'm multilingual but maybe it's time to reconsider the rule. I don't know. Just a thought.

    ICSW made accurate conjectures as to why we have this rule- we mean to promote an environment where users may understand one another and not bypass other rules with non-English. It is acceptable for users to speak other languages in back channels on Showdown, though.

    The anxiety has only one end.

    Episode 17 will take us into the Tourmaline Desert, that is a premise that we may rather safely claim to be true. Also in the desert is the 1R253 Scrapyard. I was hoping to find any reference to that in the image itself or the file when opened as a .txt. However, I cannot find anything noteworthy beyond garbled text you'd find in text files of images.

    Wha, you mean that day where we for some reason roll put our clocks one way forward that most people forget, has an impact on heart disease⸮ Preposterous. 

     

    On a side note, TIL (a few days ago actually) that stress is actually a very low-risk factor in heart disease, so I'm genuinely interested in finding out why it leads to increased heart attacks, @Arkhicould you perhaps link me to the study where you found out the piece of information?

     @Tartar Here we are:  http://openheart.bmj.com/content/openhrt/1/1/e000019.full.pdf This comes from the British Medical Journal, so it's relatively trustworthy.
