Quote from: bitsapphire on August 26, 2014, 08:47:48 pmThe BTSX ticker is now up on the forum and on Github. Should work now in all browsers now.In the near future we will include all exchanges in the API and the last buy price will be saved temporarily on the server side to not overload the exchange servers. For now the price is based only off the https://poloniex.com/ API, as it is the only exchange providing public https APIs to our knowledge.Not that it matters, but I believe just about all exchanges provide JSON feeds. https://bter.com/api etc

Is there a chance for anti spam measures?This guy nmtydjnfds just spammed his one post 39 times across all boards.

ethereum uses a "discourse" forum type, try it out! https://forum.ethereum.org/PS Maybe I am to old and I like our approach better PS2 the traffic numbers are high NOT because the forum, it's because the forum is a subaccount of ethereum.org I guess...
Ahh yes a forum with 6 years of developed plugins has to be worse than a 1 year old forum software.
we need a btsx login .. not Facebook login
The interesting thing is if you start trolling the internet and find the forums with the smart guys, they usually tend to not be on social media reddit replacement mimicking sites. Granted they're all established but I'm not convinced of the magic conversion rate. Kids who won't use the forum because it is "2007" aren't likely going to be types with money either. shrugI wonder if the firm taking over the software just has a lot more experience in Discourse? Those point systems mimick the wisdom of the crowd (and no, not concisely and quantitatively). If the wisdom of the crowd is sub par then it just hurts the quality of the posters.
Support that.is it possible for the developers to build a synchronization mechanism ? Just the posts, not the achievements and badges.
Quote from: xeroc on August 22, 2014, 02:16:49 pmwe need a btsx login .. not Facebook loginThe fact that it has the Facebook login im sure it will be much easier to implement BTSX login in to new one also its possible if people vote to remove other logins like facebook or other social media we can remove it with no problem
Social Login allows your users to connect with one click to your Simple Machines Forum (SMF) by using their social network account. Over twenty different social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google, Yahoo, GitHub, Windows Live and others supported.
I don't mean to continuously nitpick but I think this looks sloppy. and not very descriptive. What is the price representing? BitShares represents a great number of things, each with different prices.Do you mean PTS, AGS, BTSX, DNS, VOTE, MUSIC? I can deduce that it represents PTS. I think it could be made more clear.spacing/centering aesthetics etc??

Quote from: vlmhz on August 22, 2014, 01:23:28 pmA new forum like "discourse" its relay step forward for Bitshares community.Actual forum is build on 2007, maybe some of us adapted here but for new comers is like stone age thingy especially if we compare with daily use networks like Facebook or Twitter which those are relay RELAY very advanced.I would vote to change the forum, the earlier we change the faster we grow.Ahh yes a forum with 6 years of developed plugins has to be worse than a 1 year old forum software.There really isn't much difference. Discourse seems to have badges and point systems. Not a big fan of that.We are not facebook or twitter. The biggest thing discourse has going for it is that the point system can lead to a "best of" page and you have all that support for social media login. Yay faces ?

Quote from: cass on August 20, 2014, 03:45:47 pmindeed .. and pls polish your bitsapphire delegate buttons/links ^^ right next BTS logo - thxSo far you haven't provided quality service and visible improvements to the forum yet you publish support links with questionable quality on the top of the page.I wonder how you'll get enough approval for adding adds like that?And sorry if my choice of words is too harsh. Consider it as constructive criticism meaning "Try to create stylish add and place it somewhere more discrete. And let it not be the first thing you do.".
indeed .. and pls polish your bitsapphire delegate buttons/links ^^ right next BTS logo - thx
IMO we should just polish and clean up smf theme a bit
Quote from: bitsapphire on August 17, 2014, 12:26:23 pmAdd a PTS and BTSX price ticker to the header of the forumMake all outgoing links on the forum nofollow. This way we won't be as attractive to spammers and Google most likely ranks us better.Change the current URL structure to something human readable (the current links would redirect to the new links, nothing gets lost). This is for both legibility and better search ranking.I like it .. any chance for a tipping bot? ;-)

It seems that there are two personas interested in Bitshares:90s techies with old school forum and IRC experience2000s techies and semi-techies with social media and real-time web experienceThe latter don't sign up or don't come back to the forum due to the UI/UX rather than the content.
Quote from: soniq on August 18, 2014, 08:24:37 pmIf you switch to Discourse is it possible to still use old style BB for up to 90 days( for example) while members get used to to new forum software.So esentially have a choice to use either forum for up to 90 days, then switch everyone to Discourse when 90 days expireThat's the plan actually.

The forum replaces any url scheme that isn't http:// or ftp:// with http. Would be nice to use btsx: scheme. I think gamey started work on this, but might not be easy with this software.
#1 Login via BTSX accounts.Do not go to discourse... Simple Machines is known, familiar, and such a massive change would surely drive off people.
Can somebody please explain how or in what way Discourse is to be an improvement over Simple Machines?I'm trying out different sites that are using it and it feels like it only trades organization and content for color and pop.

3.something like LTB coins for the active forum members using maybe "burned" BTSXs for example?
