Just an idea
 

is there any way we could extend showing how many previous reps we've recieved, maybe so we can see all of them? i was just wondering if that was something we could do, if the powers that be approved of it.

funnily enough i thought of this because i just noticed my last rep from DI is about to disappear at the bottom and that made me very sad.

You should get a little book, like a mileage log for a car, but instead of logging the miles in it, log your rep.

Far more useful than a mileage log anyway.

Sounds like a cool idea, I've seen other forums do similar things.

Yes, it can be set to a different cutoff. But the problem is that a certain point the UserCP becomes a ridiculously long page. There's no way to set it to be scrollable or have 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons.

Don't worry Alcar is writing new forum software that will make everything better.

Right? ;)

Hey not trying to be a dick or anything but i was wondering why we still use vbulletin??

Yeah, I tend to look back at my rep texts, and now the earliest ones are gone and forgotten.

This is a very good question actually. 5 pages of Nate rant incoming.

Short version:
Alcar. . .

I don't really have anything to add to Varrok's post. Sorry to disappoint.

Can't we just buy a new domain, like oddworldforums.com, set a reliable, new forum engine. and all migrate there, not telling a thing to Alcar?

Yes. So, we can all return to barely using it, but with slightly more usability. Usability that we will barely use.

Exactly. What can go wrong?

We will have the keys to advertise it though.

I mean like I definitely would throw money at OWFII to get new members. Hell I'd throw money at this shitty forum if it would help with advertising.

Would it?

probably not unless the forum was upgraded but I'd also throw money at an upgrade.

I agree with OANST. It seems a bit pointless to do all this whilst we're struggling to get new members.

However, if it somehow helps to attract attention to the forum. Yeah I'd support it. :)

Sure there is. Just not a very easy way.

We should turn oddworldforums.net into a porn site. Then we'd have loads of users.

I should point my knife at random people and ask them nicely to register and be active on OWF

Oh wait. Polish people suck at English language. Will not work.

technically we'd still need members to come

Wassat?

I completely agree with the new forum platform thing. If anything at least things will be up to date and people won't be put off by this outdated thing.

that was so subtle i almost didn't get it.

I mean we still get new members, like me, it just happens to be the rare breed that actually likes Oddworld.

Editing files and templates for the reputation plugin to enable pagination somehow. Don't ask me how, I have no clue.

Oh, I thought you were going to name a specific plugin. Not that that would help, given I'd have to convince Peter to come by and install it.

I believe Alcar is the biggest Oddworld hater of us all.

I heard that one time Alcar took a dump on Lorne Lanning.

You've forgotten about OANST.

Alcar is the biggest Oddworld Forums hater

I heard Alcar asked Lorne out but Lorne stood him up oooooooo.
