Thank you. And it's great to hear your members are enjoying it :)

Both of those are working as designed. Here's how it works:

1. If a user has a special character in their name, because we show their name in the url, it would create a problem. Therefore, the first time they access their profile, they'll be asked to create a different name for their profile that doesn't have a special character. After they do that, then everything will work normally.

2. Their username will be updated after they access their profile once the name change is made.

Awesome, thanks :)

loving this mod, thanks a bunch!

One question though, is there a way to show members who have updated their zoints profile (ideally in the postbit)? We have 23000 members and i'd like to be able to see who is using this system without randomly checking.

eg replace this edit;

with output something like;

Also, would be nice to have a block that show the 10 most recent updated profiles. Unless i've missed this somewhere already?

thanks again
Steve

It's our pleasure :) Thank you for utilizing it!

Interesting idea Steve. In your opinion (and others are welcome to chime in) what should trip the system as being updated? Style edit? Photo edit? Blog entry? What else?

Me and the folks behind the scenes here wanted to put out a quick thank you to those of you who were kind enough to nominate Zoints Local for Modification of the Month. Thanks!

Thats a great question, one which i couldn't decide before i posted. I would say an overall profile edit (any/all part/s), as once that has been changed its clear people are aware of the new system.

There are other mods around that use carp RSS to update the post bit with recent blog posts, thats the sort of 'liveness' i'm looking for. ie, x member updated their x , x days ago.

And a 'recently updated' block would promote usage amongst other members.

I am looking to see if Zoints could do most of the listed stuff i.e. perhaps a moderator controlled 'list of communities' which would be equivalent to 'guilds' and/or 'games'. So people could sign up for each community (guild or games). Then I could appoint leaders of sort who could create a specific page for the community (guild) posting relevant info such as their own home page etc.

Is this requirement too far removed from Zoints? What I am trying to do is build a community by exposing folks to more than just their own little community but perhaps they may wish to take part in more than one community i.e. multiple games.

I am trying to understand it at the conceptual level. I will give it a test drive this weekend.

Thank you.

Your're welcome....

Zoints got my vote.. :)

Zoints local and seo has to be by far the best mods. Within a month Im on the first page of google under greek forum lol. This Zoints local I believe is going to be a hit.

DChapman it would be great if their was an option to add an mp3 file to the blogs like you can in myspace.

While pretty much anything is possible with the platform, it wouldn't be able to do what you're asking for out of the box and would require some hacking. As we move forward, what you're wanting to accomplish will become a much easier task as we add more functionality. As much as I'd love to sell you on this as it being exactly what you're looking for, I don't think it is.
