Greetings!
This Fall Stardock began a major overhaul across the board of its community infrastructure.
The first update was of our WinCustomize.com customization site (www.wincustomize.com) to greatly speed it up.
The next update was to speed up our forums across all the Stardock community sites.
This past week, we launched the third major update: Forum community awards. You will notice on people's posts that there are various little dots and awards by their names. We will be adding more as time goes on.
Here's where you come in:
We are gradually going around and promoting users so that they get more pips. It'll take a few months for that to get completed.
I like the changes. They give each person a unique feel. It feels like you are rewarded (a bit) for being here and being part of the community.
I'm indifferent to the forum community rewards feature.
Very nice improvements. Thank you.
The speed is the thing....
I can't recall a time in our history when it was faster....
Awesome work Noticing the difference already!
We have join date.
Yeah thats what they normally base it off, Get a badge for each year from join date. Sure people can just look at the join date at the left but this would be for Internetpoints! which is what awards are
I would like to see fixed the problem with adding pictures to a post. When I type my text, then add the pic, it shows up above the text. I have to arrow up, move the pic down via enter key, then move the text to the top. Been like that for months and months, maybe even a year or so. Irritating.
One problem I see with that idea is that some join dates aren't accurate. Mine, for example. Since I changed my nick.
Maybe that can be fixed then with the site update ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ?
Wow. The speed is insane. This was always the slowest loading forum for me until now. Thank you!!
I love the speed and the rewards.
What about creating Modding icon for Registered Modders?
Speed is better than I can ever remember - and that's going back a few years
Badges? We don't need no steenkin' badges...
I do seem to have a few accumulated though - mousing over to see what they are
Is it possible to use larger fonts for mobile phone displays?
I notice now that i use stardock forever, since i start use stardock skins on my windows.
This new update its really cool.
I have now used the forums almost daily for a year. This is a running feedback post. I will collect my suggestions here.

Of course I'm far too advanced a mind t-ooooh what's that green one? I gotta have it!
Ps. If given a choice I'd prefer to display my founders' badges rather than the others. At least that's something I'm personally more proud of (which is the point of badges, right?),
Just a bug that has been happening since the update.
Nearly every time you load a post, after its loaded the contents of the whole page seems to flash/unload for a split second. After which is shows everything correctly.. Its hard to explain so if you cant see it on your end i can record what it looks like when loading. Also im using firefox if that helps
Good point. You guys with Founders Badges need an award that recognizes that.
As it is now, you have to go to the members profile page to see them. They need to be visible from the Forums IMHO.
I have almost the same situation as 00zim00. When I come on to the main forum page, it loads normally. About the time it takes to scroll to the bottom of the page for the new posts, the page refreshes sending me back to the top of the page. When I leave the site and come back a little time later, it doesn't do it. When I leave for several hours, it does it again. It did this before the changes. Right after the changes were made it was normal. Now for about the last week it's been doing it again. This is with both Firefox & Chrome on Windows 10. I haven't tried with Edge yet.
Im not sure if its because they just deleted post or if its another issue. But I have a notification for a post on this thread that wont go away. And the post itself wont show.
hope that helps!
It was a spammer that posted and was removed from the site.
Most of the time no-one notices the spammers....coming or going.
We're pretty adept at catching them...
Well that explains it , dam spammers!
Our heroes!
