I can't believe that any of you clearly intelligent people are confused by the addition of six or so colour indicators to a simple system of identification. Rather, I believe that you're being resistant merely out of habit.
If somebody will provide me with basic lists of people with different specialities I'm going to expand the titles without adding further colours for the time being.

Re: Forum Ranks & User Groups
Not habit, what you're doing is alienating and boxing users into colors. Equivalent of making post count visible next to users posts. Irrelevant information being shoved into readers face just to say "look at me!". If someone wants to know who is responsible/specialized in/honored for what he/she can just read the usergroups.neddiedrow wrote:I can't believe that any of you clearly intelligent people are confused by the addition of six or so colour indicators to a simple system of identification.

As opposed to adding further colors like you did so far? Those colors you added by creating user groups which have their name -> their specialty?neddiedrow wrote:If somebody will provide me with basic lists of people with different specialties I'm going to expand the titles without adding further colours for the time being.
Re: Forum Ranks & User Groups
I didn't add AI Coders. I just gave them a colour. Ex-Moderators, are, as I said recognized for their service. The other groups are relevant for organizational purposes, or did you think we were passed over for the Google Code thingy because of insufficient code? We appear disorganized, there is no easy way to discover and access the people with the requisite expertise.

Just make titles for each usergroup and remove colors for all but mods/admins. Should take about 20min at most.
How about making a credits page? (or updating existing one if there is one, see even I don't know about one and I'm a regular here)
Re: Forum Ranks & User Groups
It is just one step in a larger process. And yes, a good credits page would be a boon, but I haven't gotten to that yet, and would like it if somebody else could.

I would have reposted it, but it was invisible........
Re: Forum Ranks & User Groups
When you post a new post it shows up in the topic review.
Re: Forum Ranks & User Groups
topic review?
Im sorry but your post was 'nonexistant', all indications pointed to it existing, yet it would not actually show up. Perhaps your super-admin status reveals it to you

Re: Forum Ranks & User Groups
The topic review is the collection of recent prior posts in the thread below your reply when you're composing a reply. You generally use it to quote from various prior posts, and even "invisible" posts are visible there.
Re: Forum Ranks & User Groups
Why did nobody start a thread with this useful snippet of information!!!
Re: Forum Ranks & User Groups
I added some request groups, if you qualify, request to be added.
You can then set your default group to whichever is most important to you.

Re: Forum Ranks & User Groups
Really?
Re: Forum Ranks & User Groups
Once upon a time, apparently, they were SVN Committers. I used that classic group as the basis for this one, in addition to the people I got from the git logs. I'll strip the inactive ones out later, I suppose.

you don't really know what I have been up to or not. If I made any sort of contribution it wouldn't be known.Regret wrote:Really?

For the record, I'm not too fond of the rainbow of colors either.

This change was probably needed for some reason and was requested by several people as for myself i didn't gain or lose anything in terms of readability from it.maackey wrote:For the record, I'm not too fond of the rainbow of colors either.

Yeh... me too. You should add me to the Dev list. I might have contributed. I might not have... You will never know.smoth wrote:you don't really know what I have been up to or not. If I made any sort of contribution it wouldn't be known.Regret wrote:Really?
