    I've just installed a few more addons for the forum :

    • Gallery
    • iTrader/Feedback (for trades)
    • Search Engine Optimization - to hopefully attract new users
    • Updated reputation mod

    The gallery is here.. gallery/gallery.php
    feel free to suggest categories :) you should also be able to create a "personal gallery" with your own albums from the user control panel. You can upload images to the gallery and then use bbcode to display that image in a forum post.

    The iTrader page here feedback.php can be used to track succesful/unsuccesful trades, and to see who has made more succesful trades. You can add a feedback when you trade with another user. A link to a topic is required - and that topic has to have been created by either the buyer or the seller, and must be located in one of the trading forums. A users iTrader rating is also displayed on topics and in profiles. The trades from the "good traders list" will be transferred to itrader. This may take a few days!

    The reputation mod has been upgraded. It no longer shows reputation comments on the profile page, but if you click on someones reputation from a topic you can see all the reputation they have received in the past.. eg viewreputation.php?id=2
    Also reputation ranks have been introduced, so if you hover over someone's reputation (on a topic), you can see their rank - which is based on the amount of reputation points you have.

    ok that's fixed now.. it should be showing on all posts/boards now :)

    well it rewrites the viewtopic.php?t=xx in topic URLs and changes it to topic-title-keywords-xx.html so that search engines can pick up topics more easily
    also it rewrites some other URLs like profiles which are /member/username rather than memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=userid

    hmm I guess that could be done.. but it will take a while to find the topic URL for each trade and add them :| but yes maybe that's a good idea
    I think I'll remove the worst trader list thing.. so that it's just a list of "best traders" from high to low.. there's not much point in worst traders it since anyone who gets negative trade ratings will probably end up banned.

    Yeah, the required URL is probably real confusing to people. I forsee a great deal of help topics asking how to +iTrader.
    To make it automatic would involve changing quite a bit of code around though... =/

    Plus some trades don't have a thread, like one I just did with Concussion. So in that case, we would just find an arbitrary thread to +trader in. =/

    I really think the URL should be required. If it's not done on a board, members can just make a board for a past trade and link it, methinks.

    Love to expon! <3
