Ok, so we should all know im trying to bring this site off it's feet. I made the banner and i made an avatar, but i thought a lot about it and i think this site has soooooo much potential it shouldn't die out... at least not avaddicts 3 that is. So i made a test board for my newest version of Avaddicts. If possible i will try and work out a way with Rai so that we can upgrade this site, but if not i have started over again. So, i have worked out my project bases on what the sites members do a lot, and on what most people would like. So here is a summary.
Added features
So those are some codes added. Keep in mind im still not done, but here is a look on what im trying to do.
So these are the things that im working on for Avaddicts, but keep in mind that none of these codes are on the site currently until Rai decides they are, but you will be able to find them on my newest project, The Avatar Legends, which im hoping can be the sister site of Avaddicts. All of these changes were based off the advice given by the ones who rated Avaddicts, and to help make things a lot more easier for all of us. I will give the link of the test site soon, but wait until im almost finished
Added features
- Away- members now have the ability to go away. I especially thought of those people who are constantly busy or have things to do or might be away for a while. What this will do is add an option at the top of the board that will allow you to set your profile to away. While away members can see in your mini profile instead of (Im Online) or (Im Offline) it will say 'Member is Away", and other users can click on that to see what away message you have set. So you no longer have to post an away message, just set on.
- Rankings based on posts- For a motivation to keep members active, you can no longer be a master bender without working for it. This means that when you begin a new character, your a beginner (your element)bender, and the only way you can become more and more skilled is by posting more and more. There are four levels, number one is beginner bender, number two is intermediate bender, number three is advanced bender, and number four is master bender. Some bending types have more than four, such as fire which has master blue firebender. So as opposed to when you join you can state how powerful you are, you now have to work for it, and by this way members will post more often to become more powerful.
- Sign-up forms- Currently when you join avaddicts you must choose a nation and describe your character. This use to be done in one thread, however now you must start a new thread and fill out a form. This helps make things faster and simpler.
- Thread description- Now when you start a thread, you can fill out a description to describe your thread.
- The main page has been shortened into an organized and convienient order. Instead of each nation being an individual category, they now all exist under one category and they have sub-boards for more specific loacations. This takes away the time of scrolling down or up the page, and makes things much more organized.
- The quick reply is much more advanced. You can now spell check using the quick reply, and UBBC buttons are right above the quick reply so you can quickly add a UBBC code without having to edit your post every time.
- The board design is much more different.
- And a whole lot more.
So those are some codes added. Keep in mind im still not done, but here is a look on what im trying to do.
- Make the sign-up forms more advanced so that when they are filled out, the information you inputed will automaticly make you whatever nation you choose without Rai's or any others staff input.
- Make a custom star for each bending type so that way everyone isnt effected by the same ranking image.
- Lots of other stuff i just can't think of right now
