Thread Colours for Staff

Yeh i hate when people use colours it just makes the post look crap tbh

Unforced registration page

Yeh that would be good as management didnt seem to like the idea of forcing members to register a few months ago so wouldn't be forcing them and i'd assume more people would register through it

Unique HxL DJ user titles

Yeh but on hxl i'm sure theres a profile page which has every DJ Their habbo name etc and all dj's forum name should be same as habbo name, but no harm doing that few minutes to update usertitles however they'd probably still have to have something saying hxl DJ as randoms could come and put DJ ________ as they're a DJ for some other site and people might think they're a DJ

Make events more clear to forum users

More banners = bad just clogs up the forum more and gets more annoying




I also think that the HabboxLive subforum (in Habbox feedback) should be moved out to the actual habbox section (along with hxhd, feedback, bug tracker, etc) and habboxlive DJ's urged to do more forum competitions to encourage visitors to sign up to the forum and reply, (reason for moving it as its easier to find, as no-one wants to be giving out instructions to go into all different subforums etc when its easily on the forum homepage ) as last sunday when habbox done the day long competition, staff were doing forum competitions aswell which ended up having IIRC 89 new members signing up to the forum, compared to other days when i think max was 40 so it shows alow of people are willing to sign up if encouraged to do so

Even a competition for +rep like the ones members have been doing in the spam forum would work well, however this could be something forum management could run because it's quite simple, and aren't so much "competitions" but just little quickfire quizzes, could work well.

We're one step ahead of you

After feedback given last month, we've already started introducing small +rep prizes for various competitions. But yes, forum staff could run competitions too, just to interact with the community. I know the graphics department is looking to do the same.

Because that would mean that those people offline who may have wanted to take part can't because they're at school/college/work/different timezone etc. Also if you're going to say 'have them at different times' then, this is highly impractical because we also have school/college/work.

I know you have school, college and work. Hire people from different time zones, you could even do them at set times. For example at 5pm every day you could run a competition which is guaranteed to end within 5 minutes. I didn't say abolish the old style, just introduce this on top to have more comps.

The reputation thread has always had colours in it, brandon would be devastated if he had to change it!! :p
I hoped you would do it for me, leave the red though, we don't want to upset him more than we have to.

I think it's difficult to encourage members to post what we want them to post, it's hard enough stopping people being down right rude to new members.
I'm sure some of the older members can just be PMed asking them to be friendly and 'dat to new members.

Some people make habbo names calling themselves DJ-whatever, I know people used to but maybe people don't do it as much anymore.
Ok I guess, what about 'HxL - DJ <Blank>

My thoughts exactly

Another thing, I brought this up a year ago (Sadly MattGarner and another member of staff forgot) but could a member of staff people go change the Donator page so that the 'Black Donator' on the black skin on the example is actually properly black rather than the default font colour.

As far as I know black was originally changed on the dark skin as it couldn't be seen but I'll ask about it for you.

You'd be surprised at the replies we get when we punish people for being rude to new members.

The HxL - DJ thing sounds good, lets hope Jess sees this thread and replies... if not I'm sure a DJ reading this may bring this to her attention?

And I'll direct Brandon towards your comment, if he wants to remove his colours he can he's very protective about his thread!!

We've already bumped up competitions from 10 to 40 a month, how many more do you want?!!!!!

But the actual colour is black so it confuses people as to whether it's just default font colour or actually Black

You just need to ask some older members and the rest will follow.

Jin will probably do it without consulting anyway :P

And I'll direct Brandon towards your comment, if he wants to remove his colours he can :P he's very protective about his thread!! :P
Remember, don't tell him it was MY idea.

For anyone unsure about what I mean by donator colour:

2-3 short ones each day which has a simple answer which is PMed and is over within minutes. K thnx

Sorry for bump, couldn't edit :P

I have also noticed that for some reason the Edit button is one of the last loading images on the page which is annoying because I often spot a typo as I click the submit button and I end up pressing the quote button when I try to edit it because it turns up 2 seconds before the edit button :(. (All skins as far as I am aware are affected)

Edit:

And why do so many forum admins have their User Profile page edited, Jin has flowers and Yoshi has made half of his white. Why?

I've asked DJs to do a few more forum competitions now and again so hopefully we should see an increase in them

I like the idea of them being able to view 30 pages then asked if they want to sign up, I think that'd work well.

I'm working on getting more notices up so they should promote the "bigger" events more, but having one for every competition would be stupid. There's also the habboxforum calender which have all the events on and I'm going to encourage other departments to post so you can see when the next HxHD quiz is, etc.

Something which Catzsy started was this:

http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=604993

If people would actually read it I could start it up again and just list all the available competitions to enter and events which will be on during the week, maybe with less colours though judging on what you said about that

Competitions have improved from last month so this month is sort of a trial and error too since they're trying new things. Once quite a few of the competitions have ended we can have another look and see how many entries they've had then go from there.

Oh and if you're admin / VIP+ you can customize your profile which is what they've done

For HabboxLive DJ names, I think a usertitle should be:

DJ <whatever> (Senior DJ)

@Roxy

Catzys thing was basicly a news letter on a shorter term?
