Forum Updates and More
I have been making some changes to the forum over the last couple of days and I wanted to discuss some of the new and upcoming changes.
First of all, you can now finally leave a Conversation. The 'Leave Conversation' button is now functional. You might have to hard-reload to refresh the appropriate scripts, but it works now.
There is also a new nightly task that runs on the server every night that automatically does several database operations, but also will automatically delete any conversation over a month old that has 0 messages or replies. So if you have a bunch of those 'Let's Talk' conversations with nothing in them, they will automatically be purged after one month.
Next up is forum notifications/alerts, which are currently (as of yesterday) being populated in an internal database, and will soon be going live. Notification events include when you are mentioned in a post, or quoted, or when somebody posts on your wall or comments on one of your pictures. I will also be adding the ability to subscribe to topics and be notified that way. The notification area will be at the top of the forum next to your username. Once I have enough notifications in the database, I will start implementing the UI for it, so if you want to speed it along, just quote some of my posts or give me some @ mentions, lol.
Also, I am adding the ability to create a 'Podcast' section of the forum, which is a new page type. I will be using this feature to migrate the old My Colony Podcast over to this site, that way I can stop paying for the separate Podcast server without actually having to delete the My Colony Podcast. Who knows, having it on here might inspire me to actually make a new episode.
Finally this week, I will be adding two new global sections, Timeline and Subscriptions. Timeline will show the latest threads across the forum, and subscriptions should be obvious, which is based on the upcoming thread subscription feature.
Anyway, that is all for this week. Let me know what issues/comments you have. Enjoy!
