Suggestions for the RC India forum/website

[spitfire]

Is it necessary to have dislike or smite option? or else we can have just rep points (reputation points) which one gets for helping others.

[sundaram]

Yup Absolutely  Plus 100% to that. well said 

[anwar]

Ok, changed it to reputation only

[SunLikeStar]

click on the members name to access add rep.

[iamahuman]

One more suggestion,in the Mega list of all rc shops,can we mention what category of products a particular shp carries?

It would be helpful for newbies right?

Ex. RCBazaar:Caters to heli and airplane hobbyists
ThrottleRC:caters to surface based models

Something like that.

[rajathv8]

Yup i think that will be helpful Gandhar.

How come everyones reputation is zero?

[anwar]

The reputation thing is still being worked on   Will announce when it is completely ready.

[anwar]

OK, the reputation system is pretty much ready to go (barring unforeseen issues).  Everyone starts now with 100 "Reputation Points", and that can be seen in your Profile page.   100 Reputation "Points" equates to 1 Reputation "Power" and that is what is shown below your name in every post.  1000 Reputation "Points" will add one more "reputation bar" below your name in every post.

The most interesting thing about this is that when you give someone reputation, the actual number of points they get is based on your reputation !  So if someone with higher reputation gives a reputation to someone else for any post, the receiver will get more points !

You can also see which posts caused the reputation score of a member to go up or down using "View Reputation" link on the left in anyone's Profile page.

Oh, and the little "heart" shaped icon next to "Reputation Power" in posts is what you use to give reputation to others.  A pop-up box will show up, where you can post reputation, along with a small message on why you felt so (optional for positive, MUST for negative).

[foamybuilder]

finally.. great job anwar 

[SunLikeStar]

A Cancel/Close button is required on the reputation popup.

[anwar]

Just click on the "heart" again for now, will try to add it

[SunLikeStar]

oh.. yep that works just fine

[iamahuman]

I see that my reputation is 105.So,I went to see who gave me 5 points,I didn't see anything.

I wanted to thank whoever gave me 5 more reputation points.

[anwar]

That comes from participation also... ie, more posts / threads.  If you want to see direct reputation from others, it will be on your profile.

[iamahuman]

oh,alright.Thanks

[rajathv8]

The posts in wanted / sale section often tend to expire i.e. the person has sold all items he had or got all items he wanted but the thread remains unlocked and often users post "is this still available??"

Why not have a system where a msg is sent via PM to every sale/wanted post author on a monthly basis asking the person to "continue" sale/want. If the person does not respond the thread should lock itself after a specifeid number of days. - well atleast something like this.

[SunLikeStar]

You get email notification when some one posts in your thread.

[rajathv8]

No not that. This is a notification from the forum to the seller asking if he wishes to continue the sale or not. So it will ensure that all the sale items are still in sale.

[SunLikeStar]

I got your point, i meant if a seller/member posts in for sale thread. And after three months I go and post there 'is this available' or any thing, the seller/member gets email notification about the new reply to his thread and will come back on the forum and respond to the reply. I've seen this happening many times here.
for example: http://www.rcindia.org/for-sale-completed/servos-extentions-leads-battaries-and-more-for-sale/msg48427/#msg48427

[rajathv8]

Yeah and many times the seller just comes back and says "no it is sold" but doesnt lock the thread and this leads to confusion. so an autolocking meechanism will help.

[rcpilotacro]

Also , could you put close button on these ( see below) say if you don't want to do anything with it ? how to close

[anwar]

You can click on the same thing you use to open it, to close it.  To the "heart" will close the reputation popup, and the "topic tools" link will close that pop too.

Looks like I need to hire a full time developer   Remember that this forum does not feed my big belly, it only feeds my bloated ego

Let me see what I can do, time permitting.

[rcpilotacro]

it only feeds my bloated ego

Hi Anwar

Just completed all the logos...please check if any more adjustments are required. The heli tail is slightly hidden behind 'a' of 'RCINDIA' as raising it above disrupts the horizontal  alignment in my opinion but will change if you think otherwise.
