I understand there's a need for no bumping & from what i've seen almost everyone who read the classifieds is willing to settle for a date oregenized forum to allow new creators to show their creations w/out having their posts shoved down.
I also agree if that if peopele are "suffering" from forum bumps so much then sort by date is something i'll live with to allow new creators to be heared. It's even easyer to navigate i'll admit that.

What I *don't* agree with, & infuriates me beyond reason, is the "no reply" feature.
Who decided that "good job!" isn't a reply worth posting?! Why are people campaigning against replying to posts?! Almost everyone agree to have the forums no bump, & yet people still yell at what a popularity contest the forums are!

Let's ignore the obvious "no one is making you read it" argument.
People work hard to release good products & if I want to reply to someone & tell them I'm impressed with their good work I should be allowed to! I don't stop myself from replying to someone because their not "famous/populer/my friend/whatever".
a good product is a good product! & if i have a question, or comment, or I want to dicuss it, I should be able to! (& no, IMing the creator is nothing like having a community discuss the same question)

Also, if someone isn't reading your post because they don't know your name no replies isn't going to change that.
You want to be heared? post more products! Work hard to make good things & people will notice! Don't campaign to shut people up so everyone else will be at a situation that you yourself admit you don't like!

Maybe there are people who only reply to certain people. I don't care. & if it doesn't bump the thread you shouldn't either. why you meassure your worth on how many replies you get compared to other people means your insecure, it doesn't mean the system is bad.

The star system is a way for people to rate badly without having to admit they did it.
If you think my product is crap then you have two options: don't reply or tell me it's crap.

ANYWAY if you want the classifieds forums to be "no bump yes replys" please reply to this post with a yes, or "signed" or your name. If you don't agree then your against replies anyway & there's no reason you should reply here.

PS- I asked a linden, & yes, you CAN make a forum sorted by date. & If you can't it would be nice if someone who works for LL bothered mentioning it. . Hopefully at some point we'll get enough attention from Jeska, or Robin, or whoever, & even if they don't bother changing it they could atleast tell us why they think it's such a good idea. Cos so far I don't see any reaction from them to suggest the reason they did it wasn't to save themselfs some work.

I'd say that its a good idea, except for one problem - I dont think that the current forum software supports such a feature on its own (posting without bumping, that is).

It may be possible to implement with some PHP coding though...

--Edit: Ok, I didnt notice the fact that Canimal allready looked into this with a Linden.. So, yea. I'm all for it.

I like the idea of reply/nobump or the idea of making a separate forum for discussion and posting, like the scripting/script library forum.

In the meantime, we've made a forum where creators can collect discussion threads - announcement here:

OKEYDOKE VBULLETIN WIZARDS WAZZUP! :D

The reason why I pronounce this so loudly is because past the initial FFR (Future Feature Request), we have a lead! What's especially hilarious may be that it seems (again, I don't know for sure, askin' for wizardry here) that this SORT THREAD BY CREATION DATE has been requested by vBulletin users for awhile now, but is not a builtin feature! :(

New info sez the following:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=120165

This was just posted a few days ago too.

Now, one of the vBulletin devs, Andreas says...

"It's OK with the license agreement, but we can't give support for modified boards.
So if you run into problems, you must reload the original files first before we can help you.
That's the deal."


So... I could understand that Lindens wouldn't want to start pulling apart the works like a cuckoo clock.

I too want the benefits that "yes reply, no bump" provides.

However it seems like a more elegant solution is needed.

I am for this and for benefiting my fellow Resis.

Anyone know? :)

This message was brought to you by the people's coalition to elect Logan Bauer to US Senate.

(Whoops, wrong macro! :P)

I wholeheartedly endorse this feature-suggestion and/or product and/or service.

(There we go.)

Signed but with the awareness that its not in the forum code by default and would require editing by the Lindens which I dont know if they are gonna do.

I think it's more than a matter of "it's not in by default."

I think what Torley said means if ANYTHING goes wrong in the forums, you aren't covered because you changed this.

And then you would have to reload the whole forums - which means, I THINK, loss of the entire forums?

coco

P.S. Shoot, at this point, I'm ready to go back to the old bumping days. I swear, bad as I thought that was, it isn't as bad as being gagged.

I agree too.

As it stands with no replys, it's very sterile. I find looking through SLB's 'recent items' listing a lot more fun for browsing. SLX has a similar function.

Although I think people should note that most designers AREN'T posting for criticism, so if you don't have anything nice to say, don't post at all. (There ought to be a separate, non-classifieds critique forum where anyone can post any creation and ask for critique).
