    Blogs forum

    I've created a forum for blog posts. Basically, new blog posts will show up in the New Posts search.

    The way it's done sucks but it's the only way possible without a big rewrite of code, which I can't be bothered doing as it gets nuked each time there's an update.

    KB Admin is the RSS feed bot, not a person.
    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

    Because they're a post in the forums. The post contains a link to the blog post.

    The blogs are much, much more useful than a forum post for a few reasons:
    • the character count is about 10x that of a forum post
    • you can post pics any size you want
    • you can always find the post under the users blog instead of having to search through an entire forum (or you can have a thousand bookmarks of course)
    • you can't update forum posts after the first hour, even if you're the thread starter


    Btw, posts like this one aren't possible in the forums

    Things like builds should most definitely be in blogs, not in the forums.

    Mate and I were gonna have a box of motivation each, and then chuck up some explanations and definitions for fun. Prolly just as accurate as anything on there now.

    Hey Mr Trousers, it sucks arse that you've got to actually go into the blog itself to see who's posted it. It'll be interesting to see just how much blogging is going on now that it's raised above the surface, so to speak.

    Fucked if I'm going to read them though.

    Can't get the user that posted them cos it's an RSS feed.

    Btw, I don't care if you read them, other people will.

    Thanks for this ( I just posted a thread cos I thought we had spammers, feel free to delete) , so now KB admin will spam the forum when a blog is posted? Can we not have notification from KB Admin on "Whats New" when ever a blog is posted?

    So 1, maybe 2 blog posts a day is too many for you?

    It spammed that many cos it's just been set up.

    If I blog one of my build threads, do I still get notifications when someone replies to it? Maybe I should look into this further.

    Make bloggers put their names in the title of them.
