Updates to the system

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

Hey all, been doing some updates to the system.

x Sorted out view activity history.
x Added some fun stats
x Added more detail to reply emails.
x You can now edit an activity before it's been approved.
x Added more formatting in a few more places.
x Fixed the editing of submitted points.

Something else as well, wish I could remember what. Oh well.

Remember, I'm always up for new suggestions for the system, nearly all of the above were suggestions recommended by members, come, suggest!! :)

not a suggestion but a question.. could quidditch players get extra points for owning stuff from hh_diagon? And if so could maybe quidditch robes be added to a shop there? Right now it's really just brooms and balls. But brownstudies asked and I've been trying to find out. And you are the go to girl :) lol so I figured I'd ask.

thanks

I think quidditch robes might be in madam thingies, not sure, shall check in a sec.

But yeah, a minimal amount each game, although might I suggest that owning a certain amount of things might be used to give them an advantage in the game instead, for example an extra turn to answer a question if they're all kitted out on a bitchin' broom, &c &c, might encourage people and such.

idk how people would feel about that.

something I will bring up to the teams :) thanks

I looked and I didn't see Quidditch robes.. any way they could be added? I think brownstudies thought you wanted new items added to hh_diagon so she was super excited I was going to ask you about it lol

I'm posting now asking their opinions about the way to do this.. :)

Not to be a bother, but is my text contest activity up for approval?

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

Not that I can see?

[dorasolo.livejournal.com]

It seems to have disappeared and I definitely submitted it... Why did I not SAVE IT SOMEWHERE?

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

:( How far did it get in the system? I'm not quite sure how I lost it? x

[dorasolo.livejournal.com]

I had submitted it for approval. And then I thought maybe the e-mail go-ahead got lost in my spam.

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

I *think* the spam problems might have been worked out? They're such a pain, I'm debating what to do about them.

but as for the activity, I'm not so good at remembering what I approve anymore :(

Death Eater Extravaganza: For This Bonanza Write a Stanza*

*Hold me Closer, Tony Danza

was the title.

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

Hm, that does sound like I'd remember it, I don't think I saw it, I can go and manually check the db if you'd like?

- sas x

[dorasolo.livejournal.com]

I can resubmit, I just have to go get the definition of "stanza" again from wikipedia.

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

I can't find it anywhere in the db, so you're going to have to, sorry! :(

[dorasolo.livejournal.com]

It is ok.

This is my frustrated face.

Also, we need to talk briefly about the other thing.

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

other thing...other thing...gtalk me?

[ladyxmoonlight.livejournal.com]

A little note about the e-mails. I used to get e-mails that my activities were submitted for approval, they'd go to my inbox. I still get e-mails sometimes when one is approved but not always. I check my spam folder and they're not going there and when I do get one, it goes to my inbox. I think something in the system isn't sending them out.

But, I love the stats! Thank you for adding that! <3

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

hm, see, I thought it might be the system, but recently I've been checking and I'm getting all mails for all things, and I've gone through quite a few things. Honestly the only way I can think of sorting this is people carefully note down when they don't get emails.

I'm not sure, I might see if I can set up a higher level of logging. Hm.

[ladyxmoonlight.livejournal.com]

If you want people to note when they do and don't get e-mails, I'll gladly monitor mine for you.

Its not too much of a bother to me that I don't get e-mails, since I go to the system and check anyway but...I thought I'd bring it up since it was sort of mentioned.

[omfgerbear.livejournal.com]

Ooh, fun stats! Where do I go to see these? (I've been looking and can't yet. X_X)

Okay, I found them and they ARE fun~! Whee! (Now I know where all my knuts come from..) XD (Slight spelling error, though: it should be "earned", not "earnt".)

Could we have a system-generated activity for the monthly yearbook entry submissions? :)

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

idk, it's generally not pulled up over here (UK) even though it's not an 'correct' spelling. It's mostly accepted. :)

And quite possibly, I'll add it next month tho. x
