Spell check back, other modifications
Posted: Sat Dec 17, 2005 4:58 pm
Our old friend, the spell check, has returned and is better than ever. This time around I will not require everyone to use the spell check, but please use it if you can.
This spell check appears to be working faster and the learn feature actually works (Or works better? I never remember it working in the first place). The only problem I see is the inability to add words to the global database, but I will get the figured out.
You should also notice the reputation system is back. When you give someone reputation on their post, your message is also displayed in their post! I have seen this used effectively at other forums, which is why I tried to use the reputation system in the first place. I never realized that a modification was required to display the comments in a post. I will make an example of what the comments look like in the next post, as I can not give reputation to myself.
A signature limits modification as recommended by Racer also has been installed. Right now we are working on a somewhat default setting where new members can have 3 lines and one 10K image, and more established members can have 4 lines and one 10K image. If people have a problem with this limit, let me know.
Any other modifications you want can be installed, given they are not too outrageous, too much work, or will be abused or unused. There is a great website for modifications to vBulletin, and I'll link to it here: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/index.php?
