    No wonder everyone had 113. I sort of enjoyed the stats and stars. Looks like the "rewards" titles were never active. Oh well....:confused:

    Don't know if still taking suggestions or if anyone else is interested but, I really liked the previous thread / next thread links at the bottom of each thread. Made going through older stuff much easier. Thanks.

    I recently recapped any of the unresolved/unanswered questions and comments in our mod thread about the new set up. For the most part many of them fall into the design aspect of things and we are determining if a different skin will be used. Stats under avatars, Font & Button sizes/colors, time stamp location, and other ease of viewing/navigation points, preview hover, and other comments have all been noted for consideration. Modifications done on this set up would have to be redone for the new skin so they have been held off for later reconsideration.

    Ordering threads with the newest posts at the beginning of the post does not seem to be an option on XenForo, unfortunately.
    Sorry about the slow pace of things. Every little change seems to come with some side effects that need to be resolved too.

    I have added this one to the list noted above.

    Not that I've really taken care to notice before, but my browser is telling me that fourm.phun.org is not a secure connection. Considering issues from the past, should it be?

    Which browser? Chrome? Don't worry about it, none of your connections are secure. Everyone is spying on everyone else. That's a pretty laughable warning.

    Firefox. Just thought to throw it out there. If I was concerned, I'd just connect from Toronto, or Dublin, or Tokyo, or......:D

    And we see that. And occasionally have to approve of it. Or not.

    From your comment I suspect that you, like several others, received multiple stars awards temporarily, BB? Setting up this "Stars" system would have been straightforward if everyone had been starting from zero, but setting up an automated system (using only the built-in XenForo criteria) that catered not only for new members with no phun.org history, but also for long term phun members with established records of contribution, proved to be tricky! The process logic is not particularly complex, but needs addressing in a particular sequence to achieve precision, which is problematic when one has no control of the actual process sequencing! However, the XenForo people clearly recognised that this sort of anomaly might arise, and designed a process that is essentially self-correcting! So while the system may produce "illogical" results (in this case such as multiple awards, only the topmost of which was significant) from it's first pass, it's second pass - an hour later - recognises the illogicality and corrects it!

    If this wasn't the issue I apologise for the boring dissertation! :)

    Pay no attention to the S-type behind the curtain. The great and powerful Phun has spoken.

    You pulled back the curtain a bit with your post so it just seemed like the place to go for a laugh.
    You've done a lot of neat (and also essential) but mostly unnoticed by the masses stuff with the new platform. We're all grateful even if we haven't noticed how it happened.

    Can we expect to eventually get the color designations on our names again like we use to have?

    There appears to be a conflict with the user groups when it comes to the color designations and the star banners together. Efforts to resolve it are ongoing.
