Phillyman Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Lots of cool new features have been proposed for 3.1.......and many of them seem to revolve around Facebook or socializing. What about if we had a "Nudge" feature on the forums? It would work like the Poke feature of Facebook.....where you could nudge a member to come back to the forums. It would be on each members individual profile, and members could click the nudge button.....and it would send them an email stating that "Member X" nudged them. Of course there would be settings that the user could use to disable this feature, and we should be able to set permissions per usergroup also. Maybe it could even work like Super Poke, where we could set actions that could be performed between members. I run a video game website, and I could set up actions that relate to video games. Something like "Member1 threw a 1UP at Member2". In the back end we could have it set up to only remember the last X days worth of actions. Somewhat like how the Shoutbox auto prunes itself. New actions could be opened depending on how many posts a member has, or what usergroup they belong to.
CalendarOfUpdates Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Isn't that already available http://community.invisionpower.com/index.php?app=members&module=messaging§ion=contact&do=Mail&MID=112849 You would just change the langbits from email to nudge.
Wolfie Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 You would just change the langbits from email to nudge. What they are talking about is a specific action. Like a poke on FB sends you an automated notification that you were poked. It's not a poke with a message from the other user. It's just a poke.
mld11 Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 The only issue I forsee is that people will misuse this, no matter how many restrictions you apply.
Wolfie Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 One thing FB does with their poke is that you can only poke someone once. Then you can't poke them again until they poke you (or at least not until they accept it). That cuts down majorly on abuse.
Dana B. Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I was just wondering about this and if it would be a possibility? Would be a fun hook :D
CrossFire-Radio Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 was actually talking about something like this to my g/f for our Forums just the other night lol... Said to her "Wouldn't it be fun if we had a "poke" feature on the forum?" She said, "Yeah, that would be a good way to get them to come back and visit, cause they would get a message saying they got "poked" " So having some kind of Mod or an addition "like" the FB Poke, would be fun! So I give it a +1 :D
Hunting insects... Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Serves no purpose and I'd minus it if I could.
CrossFire-Radio Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Serves no purpose and I'd minus it if I could. It can serve as a purpose for some but not everyone...
