The Tags thing.. looks so dumb. Does the thread creator make the tags or something?

-Dape-
04-29-2008, 04:13 PM
Yeah, i don't think anyone will use the tags, but the other add-on is pretty neat.

Oh, just saw it. It's nice. My friends list has reset, though. But they finally did something with the "Groups". Now clans can unite on the forums.

EDIT: Hah, the Tags thing is going to be abused..

I'm thinking the Tags are for when someone uses the search button, and also, click on "Last editted by..." on my last post. Looks like they added an edit history too.

So...we're getting changes in the forums..

New units FTW? :P

anyway, I really think the tags are useless, but i like the new profiles.

I also see you can leave comments in other peoples' profiles. Huzzah! A step towards no rep, perhaps?

So people you've added as your friends have a + next to their names?

Nitanius Nolund
04-29-2008, 04:42 PM
Yes, because the new social networking groups (mutual friends and such) have eliminated the need for a "Buddy List".

Actually, it was like that before the update.

Was doing this while foruming right now. The actual upgrade is slightly time comsuming, but not hard at all as long as you haven;t done to much fudging with the code. (hence why Serg refuses to cuastomize the forums)

I don't really see much point in the tags, but at the same time they aren't annoying...

btw, i'm not one to take friend requests. i dont like facebook or friendster or any other social networking system where you need to validate your friendship with someone via eBegging. sorry

Jeffery

The forums has had a friends list for quite some time. I used it mostly for clan related peoples.
The only thing that sucks is now you need their permission to stalk them. Er, I mean add.

I still have the chat log of it :)
I could just prove to the forum how much of a fool you are even more so than they already know, but seeing as they already DO know how much of an idiot you are... it might just be a tad pointless.
And yeah, I had a fun couple of hours on WoW today. A game where I have even more fun toying with morons such as yourself.
