Anyone else interested in news and current events?

Should the Politics subforum be extended to include news and current events .. or should they be separate?

I think having both subforums makes sense. There'll obviously be some overlap, but that is not really a problem.

News and Current events can include disasters and articles of interest.

Politics is.. well.

I can see two forums. I can also see an argument for one Politics/News forum at least for now, to avoid having many forums with low activity.

I think in the long run Politics will become a busy forum. At the moment, not so much. If we go with one forum now and split into two later, then we'll have a legacy of news threads to decide whether to move.

Leaning toward 2 forums.

Stuff like the Italian cruise ship belongs in news. I vote for two forums.

Can we separate News from US presidential politics (and UK politics as well for that matter when we have an election ) ?

They are combined on some other forums ... seems to work well enough. I'm easy either way.

I think I'll extend the Politics subforum to include News and Current Events ... due to that overlap that Seraph and Feck mentioned.

We can separate them at any time.

Is there a ^Your Posts^ link? page 1

Mr. Mellow 14th January 2012, 01:50 AM Aside from subscribing to every thread you post in, is there an equivalent to the "Your Posts" link that could be turned on? Or, an equally easy way to check for subsequent replies to threads I've posted to? oblivion 14th January 2012, 02:49 AM you can see your posts and threads you've started. If you click your name at the right top of the page, you'll go to your profile page. there is a statistics tab. click that and you'll see links to your recent (last 1000) posts and recent threads you've started. In a thread, you can click your name beside your post and get a list of links. One of those links is your recent posts. Mr. Mellow 14th January 2012, 05:55 AM Oh, yes, I know about that. The "Your Posts" link that both Ratz (top of their page) and Ratskept use takes you not only to the thread you've posted in, but to the latest unread post in that thread, in one step. This is actually what I'm in

should members be able to change their votes in polls? page 1

oblivion 16th January 2012, 03:42 PM In the thread about showing member post counts, Seraph asked the following: ... Oh, and on a tangent: Can polls be configured to allow revoting? vanilla vbulletin doesn't have a member-vote-change feature. admins can change the vote tally if a person requests, but it's a manual thing and only affects the count, not the record of who voted for what. I found a vbulletin hack that allows members to change their votes. It also lets people write-in their own poll options and vote for it. When setting up the poll, it looks like the OPer can decide whether to enable vote-changing or not. An admin can modify this after the fact. http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=198535 The hack is for version 3.7, but from reading the replies, people have installed it on 3.8 versions successfully. Anyway, I figure step one is to talk about whether we'd like this functionality. ConvolutedLogic 16th January 2012, 03:48 PM I don'
