    Brandon D got a reaction from Lockjit in Download: Links System 3.1.1   
    File Name: Links System 3.1.1
    File Submitter: Brandon D
    File Submitted: 10 Jun 2009
    File Category: Applications

    Links System 3.1 is the first version of the popular Links System 3.0 for IP.Board 3.0. In addition to being a compatibility release, Links System 3.1 includes several enhancements and offers a high level of integration with IP.Board 3.0.


    Submit links to websites along with a title, description, and an image. Comment on and rate submitted links Ability for users to report potentially offensive content or broken links using the built-in Report Center Search integration: search links along with the rest of your board's content Supports item marking, allowing your users to see what links have been added or commented on Integrates into "View New Content" and "View Active Content" Drag & drop reordering of categories in the ACP Ability to specify which categories, if any, allow image submissions with it's links Provide "link back" images and code so other websites can link back to yours Mark links as official affiliates and display them in a different section on the links index Group permissions allowing you to specify who can add links, moderate links, add comments, search links, and more Specify which BBCodes are allowed in the link descriptions and their comments, and whether emoticons are allowed Multi moderation: Mass move, approve/unapprove, pin/unpin links Sphinx search supported Much, much, more...

    If you used Links System 3.0 on an IPB 2.x install you will find an additional upgrade application that will prepare your old install for Links System 3.1. Within the download you will find a "readme.txt" file. Please open this up for instructions on how to either install a fresh copy of Links System 3.1 or how to upgrade your old 3.0 install to 3.1.

    I haven't seen abuse of it. The solution is to remove the avatars of those abusing it, not disable the entire feature for everyone.

    I like how you're comparing apples to oranges here ;) You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but comparing this tiny (w/ respect to employee size) web services company to large hosting companies and banks isn't helping your cause. Perhaps you're making these analogies to show that IPS should grow with its client base to lessen response times. I'd tend to agree, but being small is one aspect of IPS I like, as a customer.

    Someone's a little short tempered.

    Arguably your post is feedback, but it's obviously a bug in the software and would be more easily addressed in the bug tracker. And yeah, people read it, especially those who matter: people who actually fix the bugs. The very nature of the bug tracker will pretty much guarantee acknowledgement from a staff member. You posted in a public forum: expect public responses.

    Saying "thank you" is common courtesy. You know, it's one of those things that makes us human. No, you don't need to go out of your way to thank the cable company unless you feel the need - but refusing to do so, when given the chance, simply because you paid them money is what disturbs me. I honestly find it hard to believe that I'm actually debating this. Courtesy is one of the few similarities between all cultures and ignoring it simply because you think you're entitled to arrogance after forking out money for services is what gets me.

    I'm not here to argue whether or not IPS has been doing it's job or not, but I find the whole idea behind "I paid them to do what they're doing, I don't need to thank them" to be revolting and just shows what kind of person you are.

    Brandon D got a reaction from tranceandy in Scrolling down just to see/press the "Post New Topic"/"Add Reply" button   
    Moving the post button out of the work flow is counter intuitive. When filling out any form, electronic or not, it's natural to work from the top down. In this case, after you write your post content you would look down for the submit button. I wouldn't mind seeing the attachment system hidden like the post options, which would clear up a bit of space between the editor and the post button.

    If a post button was added above the editor (which I'm not against), then the one below would need to remain, and it would have to be added in such a way that it doesn't clutter up the post screen.

    The world you're describing is very dull and quite frankly one I wouldn't want to exist in. All transactions between people are motivated by some ulterior motive - monetary based or not. Whether someone did it because they wanted their good deed for the day or because you paid them money doesn't change the fact that they performed some sort of service for you. According to your logic, any exchange involving goods or services for money would be pure business with no personality. Sounds boring, doesn't it? We'll take IPS as an example, but it goes for any company. You paid them money, they gave you a license to use their product and access to support. You're even. Anything else from you or IPS is icing on the cake. Those "I apologize for the wait", "I hope you have a good weekend", "Please let us know if there's anything else we can assist you with" statements, you didn't pay for them did you? Just because the world is run on money doesn't mean you can't show a little humanity.
