Changes in the Horror Dot Com forums

[_____V_____]

1) The 10-character rule per post has been disabled. Feel free to reply just "Hello" to any new member's introductory thread.

2) The "Quick" reply has been replaced with a "Multi" quoting/reply feature. You can click on "Multi" for more than one post in a thread, and can reply to them all individually in one post. Maximum limit for Multi Quoting = 10 posts.

3) The maximum images which can be inserted in one individual post has been bumped to 10, instead of 5.

4) Editing your original post now has a 30-minute limit, instead of the previous infinite-limit. This will prevent drastic changing of original posts which make subsequent posters look silly in their replies to that post.

5) Display of "Last Edited by..." now has a 1-minute limit, instead of the previous 2-minute limit, for more transparency.

6) New users will have these as default in their User CP Settings - Send Notification Email When a Private Message is Received, Pop up a Notification Box When a Private Message is Received, Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default.

7) Images can now be uploaded/hotlinked as show up as thumbnails. Maximum width & height for thumbnails is 500 pixels. Thumbnails can be clicked upon, to open in a separate window and show the original image. This will help prevent the display of unnecessary huge pictures in thread pages.

8) Search results number has been bumped to 1000, instead of the original 500-thread cut off.

9) The Japanese Horror section has been renamed to Asian Horror, and IMG codes for it has been enabled. It has also been moved up the Movie Discussion scale, and sits below the Classic Horror section now.

10) Zwoti can set himself to "Invisible" again. Also reinstated his previous avatar.

11) A new sub-forum, Compilations and Pastimes, has been added below Site Suggestions/Questions. All top 100 compilations & game threads from the entire forum has been moved to this new sub-forum.

12) Signature Image height and width has been increased to 500 x 500 pixels.

13) Moderators are now allowed a maximum of 150 private messages.

14) User ranks are now added to members.
(50 posts = HDCian, 1000 posts = Senior HDCian, 10,000 posts = Distinguished HDCian)

15) Always wanted to give a 5-star rating to your favorite compilation? How about rating the "Art of TypH"'s thread in the Art section? Ratings are now enabled for all threads across all sub-forums and sections. So go ahead, rate the threads according to how good they are in your view.

16) The default view of number of threads in all sections was limited to "for the past one month" only. That has now been changed to "all threads" which means everyone is able to access all threads made from the beginning of the forums in each section of HDC.

17) A new sub-forum, Latest Horror Movies, is added to the Horror Movie Discussion section. That section is to discuss horror films from the 1990s onwards.
The Modern Horror Movie section will deal with films released between 1970 and 1989, since many new members/horror fans regard that time-period as a period of classic horror for them.

18) We now have THREE new Contributors as well - The Villain, Giganticface and Ferretchucker. Congratulations! Hopefully all 3 of you will contribute plenty of articles, reviews and other stuff to the Horror dot com databases.

I tend to type the titles of books, movies, etc. using all upper case letters as taught in a college writing class. When I pressed the Caps Lock key on my keyboard to type in the titles of a couple of movies in another thread only the first letter was capitalized and the rest appeared lowercase. I don't recall having this problem before at HDC. Just wondering if there might be a reason for this other than my keyboard going bonkers.

19) Above limiter has been disabled. Thread titles/posts can now have all Uppercase letters. Shouldn't be a problem from now on. Just remember not to shout at others, folks.


Thanks to Sibwaypro for providing me with admin privileges, so that I could correct and rectify a lot of problems of our HDC forums.

Happy Thanksgiving, folks!

Any other feature(s) you have noticed as broken? Post it in here and I will rectify it.

[neverending]

Very cool! Thanks for making the effort to improve HDC!

[bamahorrorfan87]

Thanks good work V

[hammerfan]

Thank you, V!

[Straker]

Nice one, V. :cool:

[The Villain]

Awesome V, those are some great changes. Thanks

[_____V_____]

First post has been updated with all the corrections I could do.

Did my best to make the Attachments work but from what I can deduce, the attachment storage server (external) is either disabled or it's link doesn't work anymore, hence every time a member tries to upload something, it shows "Page cannot be displayed." Must have become an issue when the horror.com servers were moved during an upgrade about 6-7 years back, since I can see older attachments (uploaded by older members) in the database.

Most things are working/should work now. Anything else comes to your attention, post in this thread or send me a PM. I'll see to it.

Enjoy the Turkey Day, folks.

I am off after almost 12 hours of hard work. The vBulletin Control Panel is H-U-G-E!! So many sections, sub-sections, options... No wonder horror never bothered to rectify all these problems. He simply wouldn't know where to start!

[hammerfan]

You are awesome, V!! Thank you so much for everything you've done!

[sfear]

All future book and movie titles give you a great big THANKS!:)
Me too.

[ferretchucker]

Absolutely terrific news on all of this, V! Thanks for making me a contributor too, I'll do my best to offer interesting reading! Honestly cannot fault any one of these changes (and don't us humans LOVE to criticise change? ;) )

[_____V_____]

Added a new smiley set instead of the ancient stone-age set which we had. Best of all, it's animated!

Hit "Post Reply" on any thread, check out the set on the right in the Reply box, please go through them and leave your feedback.

[hammerfan]

Love them! Thanks, V!

Edit: Just noticed what you put under "HDC's old chick" - I like it!

[Giganticface]

These are *great* changes, V. Very thoughtful fine-tuning of the forum -- clearly the work of a veteran. I'm especially excited to use the multi-quote feature. This will make some of those posts so much easier to write.

I'm also honored to be made a contributor! I'll do my best -- but first, I must ask, what does that mean? :)

[Kandarian Demon]

Thank you, those are all great changes! ::smile::

[metternich1815]

These are some excellent changes. I especially like the addition of the multi- quote.

[Sicknero]

Great job and some very useful changes : ) Took me about a week here before I realised that my searches were only showing recent threads by default instead of all of them so that's a good one!

I've tried a bit of forum coding myself recently and floundered totally so I can appreciate the work you must have put it into it.

[MichaelMyers]

Big thanks! Especially enjoying the new horror-themed smileys! :halloween:::EEK!:::scared to death::danger:

[_____V_____]

There was some problem in posting in the threads in the "Compilations and Pastimes" sub-forum, as reported by hammerfan. New posts were asking for approval by a moderator. That issue has been set right and it should be solved now.

Enjoy your forum browsing.

Some great changes have been made so definitely kudos but just a quick question.-I know it didn't really work out what I tried to do but what happened to the "Last Seen European Horror" thread that was in the horror movie database forum?

You can contribute articles, reviews, previews and other written works/stuff to the Horror Film Databases.

----------------------------

Some more tweaks:

1) Added a new rank, "Newbie", for users with a minimum of 5 posts.

2) The "Horror, But Not Movies" section (TV Shows, Comics, Books, Music, Games, etc.) can now be viewed with the option of all threads from the beginning, instead of the default From The Last 30 Days.

3) Moderators can now set themselves into "Invisible Mode" as well. Enjoy!

4) Minor corrections to Moderator neverending's account. He has full Moderator privileges now (previously it was restricted).

5) Number of private messages for Moderators has been bumped to 150. Same for the Super Moderators is 500.

6) Moderators can send Private Messages to 10 recipients at the same time, instead of the default 5.


I will be working on a User Reputation system (to be introduced in the next few days) and a set of new custom Avatars as well. Updates will be posted as/when they happen.

[neverending]

Fabulous! Thaks V!

[hammerfan]

Thank you, V!

[MichaelMyers]

Custom avatars sound exciting! I will say that "reputation systems" that I've seen used on other boards can lead to some forum acrimony.

[newb]

I do have only one question concerning the new changes


Do Super Moderators get to wear a cape?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/rockinmule/SuperMod_zps2601630f.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/rockinmule/media/SuperMod_zps2601630f.jpg.html)

cause that would be effing cool::smile::

[_____V_____]

Avatars:

1) Added a new "Alien" avatar to the Horror Movie Avatars. It's slightly bigger than the rest of the defaults.

2) This makes each avatar category contain 16 avatars each. Check the User CP/ Edit Avatar section for details.

3) Shortened the per page column for avatar viewing to 4, instead of 5. Default number per page for avatars is now 8, instead of 10.

4) Also added a separate avatar category, Famous Personalities. Choices are (from) Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Vincent Price, HP Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, Barbara Steele, Sir Alfred Hitchcock, Sir Christopher Lee, Sir Peter Cushing, Anthony Perkins, Clive Barker, Stephen King, Bruce Campbell & Ingrid Pitt. Can only be accessed by members who have 50 posts or more (HDCian ranks).

5) Will add more avatars in the coming days.


EDIT: Please welcome our two *NEW* contributors - Chronogrl and roshiq!

[_____V_____]

Major tweaks:

1) The Horror.com Lobby has been moved down (General Forum, New Member Lounge, Announcements, Suggestions/Questions & Compilations/Pastimes). As a horror-based forum, we should be concentrating more on discussing all things horror than chatting about general stuff. Hence this major change.

2) The Horror Movie Discussion will be the top section from now on, followed by the Horror, But Not Movies section. This will help everyone - old and new members alike - to concentrate on horror stuff more.

3) Major tweaking to the Horror, But Not Movies section. The Music section moves upwards, just below TV Shows, followed by Books, Horror Fiction Post, Comics, Horror Art, Games (in that order), and the rest as earlier.


Feedback on this is most welcome. If the majority find this change uncomfortable, we shall revert back to the earlier design.

[Straker]

Looks good to me. ::cool::

[neverending]

Excellent!

A few more tweaks:

1) Asian Horror moves up, Upcoming Horror moves down.

2) Filmmakers moves up, Indie Horror moves down.

3) Comics moves up, Fiction Post moves down.

4) True Crime moves up, Events & Happenings moves down.

5) Compilations and Pastimes moves up, Site Announcements moves down.


Feedback requested for any other broken features which need to be corrected, and your choice(s)/preferences of avatar categories.

[_____V_____]

A very important feature added.

Let's say, for example, you want to add this image to your post in any thread (http://www.unleashthefanboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Alien.jpg). As you can see (by clicking on the link), the image is too big (1680 x 1050) and will go beyond the normal/original boundaries of the thread.

This problem keeps happening in many threads and is often a cause of annoyance + delay in loading the pages. Like this picture of Mandela posted by Despare in the R.I.P. thread - http://www.horror.com/forum/showpost.php?p=961008&postcount=126

I have devised a solution to this problem by successfully creating a new BBCode (like the youtube bbcode which we have been using so successfully in recent times).

All you got to do, is use the [TIMG] BBCode, instead of the [IMG] code.

As you all know, the IMG codes insert images, and now this TIMG code will insert a fully-clickable thumbnail. The image's preview will show in your post, and it will be clickable to everyone who wants to check out the picture in it's original dimensions.

For example, TIMG Image URL /TIMG (using []s)

will convert the above Alien picture into

http://www.unleashthefanboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Alien.jpg

What's more, you can click on it as well!

[neverending]

Great additions V!

[hammerfan]

Wonderful! Thank you!

[realdealblues]

Wow, lots of updates to the website. Thanks V.

[_____V_____]

Added shortcut icons to both external BBCode commands in the reply box above.

Look at the extreme right of the second row of icons at the top:

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g12/ravenavi/Untitled-12.gif

1) The RED rectangular box with the "play" icon inside it, is for embedding youtube videos. Just click on it, and select the video's youtube address and paste it between the YOUTUBE boxes in your post.
For example, in case of the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sftuxbvGwiU, the video's youtube address to be selected for embedding is "sftuxbvGwiU", the unique youtube video identity after the "watch?v=" part.

2) The CLOUD icon inside the rectangular box, just beside the red youtube icon and also the last icon of the second row, is for embedding large images into your post, which will insert a pair of TIMG boxes into your post, just like the IMG commands.
(TIMG = Thumbnail Image)
Your picture will then show as a clickable thumbnail, while not disturbing the default size of the thread.


Enjoy, folks!

[hammerfan]

Wow, that's great, V! You're making it so easy! Love it! ::smile::

14) User ranks are now added to members.
(5 posts = Newbie, 50 posts = HDCian, 1000 posts = Senior HDCian, 10,000 posts = Distinguished HDCian)

Reformatted the User Ranks so that they look different and separate from the Custom User Titles:

Newbie = In Tan color.
HDCian = In Dark Green color.
Senior HDCian = In Dark Red color.
Distinguished HDCian = In Dark Blue color.

You need a rank called Legendary HDCian = 20.000+ posts. ;)

[_____V_____]

Updates on the work behind the scenes:

1) Working on new sets of custom avatars. Will be available as/when I update the databases.

2) Tried to upload forum badges for the user ranks but keep getting FTP error protocol errors. The forum's vBulletin software is apparently installed in a FTP server somewhere out there which only horror himself can access. Sorry guys, have to make do with the textual ranks for now.

3) Quashing the reputation system. I took feedback from a few other vBulletin forums and like MichaelMyers reported, it causes more problems than healthy interaction between forum members.

4) Working on a brand new Post-Thanking system from today (if members find a post useful, they can thank the poster). Needs plenty of encoding/mods so this will take some time.

5) We now have 4 fully-powered all-new Moderators to assist neverending in his mod duties. So, I am back to lurking in the shadows.


Enjoy the forums, folks! Hopefully for a long time from now on.

Happy New Year, and may you all have a splendid, successful and fulfilling 2014!

[hammerfan]

Just make sure you post every once in a while so we know you're OK! Plus, I like to read your reviews of movies!

[ShankS]

Just logged on and found everything upside down, then found this thread explaining the changes lol

[_____V_____]

UPDATE

- A new category, Vintage Horror, has been added to the Avatars section.
You can select from: Graf Orlok, The Phantom, Frankenstein's Monster, Cesare (Cabinet of Dr Caligari), Mr Hyde (1931), Count Dracula, The Wolf Man, The Bride, King Kong, The Invisible Man, Dr Gogol, Hans Beckert (M), The Shrinking Man, The Mummy, The Creature & Body Snatchers.

- User ranks now change into nice, dark red-metallic badges. Tell me how you like them.

[Ferox13]

Cool work V...

Just one suggestion - change this graphic to something else, it really doesn't fit in with the rest of the page..http://horror.com/forum/images/avatars/05.png

[_____V_____]

Cool work V...

Just one suggestion - change this graphic to something else, it really doesn't fit in with the rest of the page..http://horror.com/forum/images/avatars/05.png

Couldn't find any suitable badges for horror forums, so I went with the one which resembled the dark red "horror" theme of our forum the closest. (ambience being the other, which is light grey)

Most forum badges available out there are for gaming/general forums. Tough to find horror-based ones.

Still in search of badges which would suit both themes. Once I find a good set, they will be replaced.

[Ferox13]

Do you upload them yourself?
If so I could give you a hand making them in Photoshop.

[_____V_____]

I could use all the help I can get!

Just 5 would suffice - Support, Newbie, HDCian, Senior HDCian & Distinguished HDCian.

Can you make some small, sleek ones using our custom "horror" banner? PNGs work the best.

http://www.horror.com/forum/images/VA_Horror/header_03.png

Thanks in advance!

[Ferox13]

I will try it over the next day or so.

I think what ever setting I am viewing the site I am seeing it different and maybe thats why those icons look bad.

I will post a screen shot later. Anyway I can make a set of custom icons for you.

[Ferox13]

Ok - I realised that there are different skins for this forum and I didn't have the 'Horror' one turned on.
So I will try make some to fit in it with this skin (is this the most used/)

[Ferox13]

How does this look:

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a360/ferox-13/Icon_zpsd591b509.png

This is how it will look in place:

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a360/ferox-13/Example_zps48ffbacf.jpg

If you like this I can go ahead and make the set.

[_____V_____]

Looks great. The font looks awesome!

To accomodate both skin types (ambience and horror), I have an idea. We can make this badge reflect both skins - the horror.com logo with it's dark background + 3 red scratch marks across it looks like a good match for the horror theme, so how about changing the black background behind the "HDCian" to something matching the ambience theme - silver, light grey or dark grey perhaps? The "HDCian" part could be red (or a lighter shade of red).

You might need to stretch it a bit more (horizontally) for the other user ranks to fit in. The "Distinguished" part might take a lot of font space.

Second thoughts - if you can, change the "Distinguished HDCian" to "V.I.P. HDCian". Equally good plus it will take lesser font space.

Great effort! *thumbs up*

[Ferox13]

Ok I will make 2 sets - one for each theme, when i get a chance. Shortening "Distinguished HDCian" makes it easier too.

[_____V_____]

Did my best to make the Attachments work but from what I can deduce, the attachment storage server (external) is either disabled or it's link doesn't work anymore, hence every time a member tries to upload something, it shows "Page cannot be displayed." Must have become an issue when the horror.com servers were moved during an upgrade about 6-7 years back, since I can see older attachments (uploaded by older members) in the database.

I am very happy to report that Attachments are working again!

We have lost all older attachments, since they were stored in an external Japanese forum server, which has since gone defunct.

First attachment attempt was made by me in urge's query thread here - http://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64045

...and it was successful, like you can see. My daughter's pic uploaded up and is showing as a clickable thumbnail (you can click on the image to open the original one in a separate window).

Either way, attachments work from now on.

[urgeok2]

yes! I just uploaded one too (last seen concert)

*NEW* FORUM RANK BADGES:

Big thanks to Ferox13 for developing these wonderful looking Rank Badges for our forums. The membership ranks stand as before:

Newbie = 5 posts,
HDCian = 50 posts,
Senior HDCian = 1000 posts,
V.I.P. HDCian = 10,000 posts, and
Support = Moderators/Super Moderators.

I will soon add some additional features for VIP HDCians, like a bigger PM box, access to secret parts of the forum (including the nude, dancing girls and the Laid-Back Bar), among other things.

[MichaelMyers]

Now I definitely have to get to 10,000, to unlock the secrets. Might take me a minute. Also, has anyone noticed that activity has picked up a bit these past couple of weeks? Not a bad thing...

Cool, thanks, V! ::love::

Added a special 5-star status for all V.I.P. HDCians, so as to distinguish them from the rest of the HDC community - moderators and members alike.

This makes the 10,000 post count a bit more desirable, and the VIP status much more premium.

Added a special 5-star status for all V.I.P. HDCians, so as to distinguish them from the rest of the HDC community - moderators and members alike.

UPDATE:

The 5-star status has been revised.

A new usergroup, the Elite HDCian, has been introduced. The 5-star status will show right below the User Title.

This covers HDC members whose posts have been a cut above the rest in terms of knowledge, validity and on-topic for all/most forum threads, and so they have maintained/improved the quality of Horror Dot Com from the first day of their registration.

Special privileges include - a PM box capacity of 300 PMs, Invisible Mode, Bigger-sized custom avatar/signature/Albums, and viewing deletion notices/other invisible mode users.

Default cutoff is at 1,000 posts.

This does not include Moderators/Super-Moderators/Administrators.



The ultra-special 5-star Elite HDCians are (23 in number till now):
