'Thank You' Hack is Back

[Damnatory]

how about adding it so you cant bump a thread once its over a certain age. Its caught me out a few times already.

The dave chappel dvd thats months old that just got bumped for instance.

If that was enabled, then if we added a new episode to that thread it would be on like page 4 or 5 rather than being bumped for a new episode.

There is a small work-around that Rossco made for that reason, there is a link at the top of the forum list that allows you to sort by "Thread Start Date" rather than by last post. This helps me alot for posting, as well as I think it will help you out alot for that problem as well.

As one of the NZB posters I really like the improved thank you hack. Great work!

As for the games section I'll be posting a lot more stuff soon, mostly RELOADED and DEViANCE releases as there the only two groups you can really trust right now. Personaly the only reason I don't post much in that section is because it's really hard to find some nice cover art. I have this thing of posting nice cover art in movies, many know what I mean. Amazon is good somtimes but they sometimes f-up the pictures really bad so that puts me off. Expect at least 12 news games coming soon to the games section from yours truely soon.

That's exactly what I was going to say he should use.

Also, a new feature I added last night for all future NZB posts is they will show the age of the post right in the threads list to the right of the title/subject so you know how old it is before you even go into the thread.

Would add that rossco is also working on a Latest NZB page that would show all the most recent posts from all nab sections on one page so that those that want a quick view of the latest can. Im tempted to show it to you although being that its unfinished as of yet will let rossco unviel it when hes ready...

I dont want to show it until it's done.

Basically, it will add all the half-working features from the nzb section to one 100% perfect page, looking a lot like binsearch, but leaving the forum aspect in it as well.

This vBulletin forum sure is heavily modified. lol.

Can't wait to see that page rossco!

There are some new rules for the hack now:

• In threads less than 48 hours old, Thank You's are required from everyone before being able to grab an NZB
• A leecher (see next point) must post a Thank You in any thread before they are able to grab the NZB
• Those labelled as leechers are those with an NZB Grab:Post ratio greater than 20:1. (for every 20 grabs you make, 1 NZB should be posted).

Was thinking of few tweaks on this perhaps

• Those with NZB Grab:Post ratio greater than 10:1. will NOT be required to post a Thank You in threads.
• Those with NZB Grab:Post ratio greater than 20:1. only need to post in threads less than 24 hours old.
• Those with NZB Grab:Post ratio less than 20:1 only need to post in threads less than 48 hours old.
• Threads older than 48 hours will not require any Thank You posts.

OR something simpler possibly

• Those with NZB Grab:Post ratio greater than 10:1. will NOT be required to post in threads.
• Those with NZB Grab:Post ratio less than 10:1 MUST post a Thank You in all threads.
  (Could be limited to ONLY threads less than 48 hours and none needed beyond that)

This may create a little more insentive to post NZB hopefully.
Would think no need in anyone having to post in threads beyond 48 hours...

i love the idea of the thank you hack depending on your stats but i've notice that if you post an nzb in an excisting thread like i do with the tv episodes it doesn't count on your stats ( well it didn't when i did it just now).

[Chewie]

I think it only counts when you use the submit form.
Perhaps people could use the form for episodes and trust a mod could merge threads?
Just a thought.

ok, if i remember i'll create a seperate thread and let you mod's merge them but it doesn't bother me as i post more than i grab.
