Continuing the discussion from Gamekult, a popular video game forum, migrated from vBulletin to Discourse. A failure? : Ok so I was postponing this for some time now because I simply had one hell of a month between work and health. I have decided for a new topic as it’s not really about Gamekult and…

[image] Crius: Discourse, could we have the dasboard show the charts only up to “yesterday” in the dashboard? I’ll just reply to this right now: it was raised here [image] Suggestion: ignore current day on the forum stats in /admin UX Because the day’s d…

[image] Crius: In terms of signups, that 41 is already enough for us (again, Discourse, let me set my own expected numbers?) The 41 is in red with a down arrow because it’s a decrease on the previous period. Hover over it to see the previous value. There’s no judgement here as to what the nu…

Our gaming community switched from vBulletin to Discourse in 2016. We got A LOT of bad feedback from the MINORITY of users. And you know gamers, they can be really vocal about changes or things that are not as used to be, or when they don’t like it. Some kind of ‘entitlement’ comes with the gaming a…

“The forum has been migrated, it’s not going back, if you want to invest and be a shareholder perhaps your whinging deserves consideration, but since you’re utilizing my free service I have to manage, you’re yelling at clouds. Accept that it literally makes no difference it’s a web forum, or continu…

[image] Crius: They can’t even enable slow mode or move a topic into another category if needed TL3 can move things to other categories and edit the title.

[image] robotnjik: You can’t make everyone happy with the change, but you need to be persistent and discuss it with the community. We had one topic where we encouraged people to share with others which useful functionality they discovered. That helped others understand how Discourse works or how…

Well, I prefer @robotnjik ’s way regarding this. It’s softer and more respectful. As an admin, you may not want to assert things and close the discussions in this context but rather engage, understand, and share, with patience, with a community you care about.

[image] robotnjik: The vast majority of negative comments were about: pages replaced with infinite scroll and how narrow the width of the new forum was. And then the same users were repeating the same points again and again until some of them stopped complaining and some of them left the forums. …

What I find funny is that people still can’t explain why pages are a better vs infinite scroll :smiley:.

Hey everyone. I’m also part of the community Crius is talking about in his reports. Just wanted to say that this is a confusing reply. Why do Cat mods have fewer permissions than TL3 users, especially considering that Cat mods are hand picked by staff while anyone can become TL3 by just posting (ok…
