If 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 expire

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.
Do not use this post as information for making any important decisions. The only agreements I ever make are informal and non-binding. Take the same precautions as when dealing with a compromised account, scammer, sockpuppet, etc.

I dont know whether this is possible but it would be cool to have type of thread where people can vote posts up and down. Application: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=6901.0

  • Add a PTS and BTSX price ticker to the header of the forum
  • Make 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? ;-)

Mmh. I doubt we can pull that off in this old forum software. Should be relatively simple with Discourse though.

Great idea!

Bitsapphire is currently looking to add certain small features to the current forum.

The following three are planned to happen within the next 1-2 weeks:
  • Add a PTS and BTSX price ticker to the header of the forum
  • Make 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.

We also plan to have unobtrusive bitsapphire delegate voting buttons instead of advertisements on the forum.

Let us know what you would like to change on the forum!
