[darkyam]

Awesome! Thank you both!

Marking a thread solved then unsolved causes a parsing problem with titles that have & in them

Awwww, come on!

Did you know...NBVC and Andy Pope .. have also retired as mods and are now forum gurus

NBVC & Andy,
I am sorry to see you guys step down and I do hope you stick around & keep providing the formulaic, charting & other gems that you've put up in the past.


*sigh*
Vaibhav/Shub,
I have absolutely no idea why NBVC & Andy have stepped down - it could be any number of reasons - for example, their kids growing up or business commitments etc. I have no real idea, but I do suspect some of their sentiments may be reflected within this thread & I agree whole heartedly with Simon...

Vai, if you are checking this thread....DO SOMETHING NOW!, it's sad that shg stepped down but now that others are following is very bad for this forum

Others may disagree, but I think improved communication is the most important thing for you (the development team) to achieve. So, I look forward to seeing your next report on the progress towards completing the concerns mentioned throughout this thread.

Vai, I second what Rob said, and I'm sure all the regulars will agree. You're starting to have a real problem on your hands with immensely respected and long-term moderators dropping. I really hope this is a wake up call to those who run this site; otherwise, this site may sleep forever.

ppppppppppphhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[pike]

and how could i have forgotten royUK

[darkyam]

I'm not saying we don't have a bunch of good mods left. We certainly do, and I meant no disrespect at all to them. What I'm saying is when the people who've been with this site the longest and have contributed the most don't want to be mods anymore, there's a significant issue. That's four that have dropped in the last few months. That's a big turnover, especially considering for the first year and a half I've been here, the only change I can remember is Simon not being an Admin anymore.

[teylyn]

... would the last one please remember to turn off the lights!

[pike]

also cant leave out arthurbr ... still in good shape

The Log Out link at the bottom of forums, home and threads don't work, in fact if it wasn't for the top marker (#) the link at the bottom of this page would take you to subscriptions!

[Simon Lloyd]

"Back to top" doesn't work in the footer

[romperstomper]

And the hyperlinks at the top of the page that I mentioned don't work on an iPhone and nor does the Skin switcher. I appreciate that won't be a top priority!

Hi Vaibhav,

I have another Change Request based on my last post & the subsequent responses...

Would it be possible to provide a second line for the User Titles where, if the person wants to, they can tick a check box in their profile which will then show the line "Retired Moderator" in their User Title?
I've seen this in some other Forums (see example) & I like the idea as it shows the level & quality of involvement that a member has had on the Forum.
