Update Best Posts in Thread: Poster of the Month

I have added a feature that tracks how many posts a person makes in a given month. The person with the most posts at the end of the month wins the poster of the month title.

The top 5 are shown on the main forum page and top 10 show here: Top Poster of Month | Dumaguete info - The Website of Gentle People If you click "Previous Month" your can go back and see who the big posters were in the previous months....it goes back to the day the forum first opened in 2006, if you are willing to click that many times (I'm not). Admin and moderators are excluded from these counts and cannot win the title.

Once I have worked out the kinks this will not be awarded to the person who posted the most, but rather who made the most relevant/liked posts. I'm sure there will be some monthly giveaways for this at a later date.

The leader boards are updated every 6 hours (or once at 6 in the morning....the settings aren't exactly straight forward ).At the end of the month it should choose a winner automatically and it should give the person a banner for it. We'll see how that works out.

I am looking at adding competitions as well as this to give away prizes for being active members on the forum.

 

Well credit is due,, Thank yous out to PatO.s. For those whom love the forum may we all be inspired to become inventive.!

 

Nope, I believe it was PatO's idea. I just set it up.

I'm always open to suggestions on improving the forum/website so if anyone has any you can post it in this section of the forum and we'll have a look at seeing if it can be done. (doing it is usually the easy part, finding the right ideas can be tricky. I have a short list of things I think would help improve the forum that I'll be working on the next week or two.)

 

I think it's a great idea and over the long run may assist in the growth of the forum. Kudos out to Dustin for the concept!
