It makes the forum look tacky + Habbox don't really use plugins.
um what are these things below our usertitles? I think their called badges jake. And yeah I agree it would make it look tacky. I like it just the way it is.
I have been here quite a while and have seen many changes,
I feel Habbox has got the look and everything they need to make it work perfectly.
Habbox don't use many plugins due to security reasons I believe, of course Arcade and userranks being one.
I think it would make it look tacky and unHabbox.
This forum isn't just for Habbo, there are other people who come here who don't care about Habbo.
Was that last post a rush too? You mispelled issues
Theres actually a security reason as to why we do not use badges/awards
From what i have heard it would require a hack/plugin that would leave HxF vulnerable to attacks
Thats just from what ive heard though ;)
Had a quick browse and heres a nifty quote from Jin that explains it quite technically ;)
Quote:
Hacks can often cause closed security loop holes in vBulletin to re-open and even create new ones.
Because without spending stupid amounts of time checking through PHP code no one at Habbox can be bothered to try and discover security flaws in codes.
We tend not to use them especially the more complex ones which uses the database because in some cases it can be used against the forum by injecting SQL which could corrupt, delete or even give admin access to the forum.
LOL! At Jin trying to sound all technical :P
The badges have come up time and time again, the forum would indeed look tacky with them and it would also mean we would probably need to hire an Administrator alone to deal with adding badges etc.
Plus, the badges system may well create secruity problems, which we don't want.
Badges plugin makes a forum look tacky.
It's been asked many times and so has the arcade, we've got the arcade but look how often its updated..
The arcade has never been updated.
international Habbox's have arcade editors
Perhaps you should?
Yes you made the statement just after I planned on doing it lol :p. I was going to do it earlier but coursework deadline tomorrow kicked that plan off the table ;).
Also @peguin's suggestion. Habbox UK Forum has way too many admins as it is, no need to hire more to do a small job that nearly any other admin can do. And plus its not a demanding task. An update every now and then is more than enough ;).
Ah, i see fair enough then.
Oh && Jake if your suggesting like .Ca or the .Us forum have this special staff member then yeah they can as its a small community and hardly any risk where as .UK has a very large community and is too much of a risk for any one to take upon and it really falls under the Forum Manager's job tbh, and as Mr. Mad said its not a demanding task, every so often one or two updates keeps teh VIP's happy.! :rolleyes: till they get bored of the games.
Well the games are for V.I.P's so shouldnt the V.I.P editor do it ? OK :P
Not really. VIP editors deal with making sure the VIPs get what they pay for. VIPs pay for an arcade and they are getting that. We have not said in the feature list "a new game every week in the arcade". If that was the case, then it may fall under their list of jobs :p.
you guys should have admins that aren't doing GCSE's or important exams/events - so they have more time to maintain the forum and stuff
*COUGH* me *COUGH*.
but still a warnin tho m8.
Sum other people dont even have that. ;]
I would rather have PHP the manager than you mattmeister lol
Rofl, erm thanks. o.o though were off topic here.
We don't want tacky clubhabbo stuff.
