Hi All,
We are having some database errors, and one of the culprits is one of the scripts we've been using. Specifically the WTG button that is used in some forums - mostly in the Winner Screenshots forum.
In most of the forum, you can "Thank" people for their posts. When you do so, your reputation increases by 5 points. That's great. The thing is, years and years ago - when the winner screenshots threads began, some people were only posting there and not participating in the rest of the forum. Some people were getting bucket loads of rep points, but they were only posting screenshots <gasp> So I made the command decision to change that script in those forums and made the rep points you get there 0 instead of 5.
Well, years later it's backfiring. The Way to Go script has got to go. So I will need to turn this off. By doing so, all of those WTGs are going to disappear, sorry .
The upside is you won't be losing any points for it - at least that's some consolation.
And I will turn on the "Thanks" button for those screenshot threads, so you can now earn points there. :yahoo: Screenshots have become a big deal - and the threads are quite popular. And there is nothing stopping you from going back and thanking peeps for the screenshots that they've shared in the past.
Thanks for your understanding.
