News sections in forum. Rules enforcement. Niceties.

Forums. By popular demand we have expanded Unity Forums - General section is now there for non-BoonEx talk, humor and social chat. Dolphin now has Tips and Tricks and Code Sharing forums. Thank you for those who suggested these.

Rules. Due to growing "tension" that we have among some members in Unity and some cases of "misconduct" we decided to start stricter enforcement of BoonEx Rules, as well as our own judgements based on common sense. This means that we will not tolerate personal attacks among members here anymore and will watch Market more closely. We'll discuss it with you along the way.

Niceties. Not to sound all too negative, I should add that Dolphin 7.0.1 is progressing very well and we expect to release it within March. it's almost 200 tickets closed now, so this version should really stabilise Dolphin. So, I encourage you to help us get Unity back to order with your short, structured reports to uno@boonex.com and then look at current state of things at Trac and raise your hand if you see alarmingly serious problems missed.

Dolphin 7.0.1 is around the corner and I am excited to see it take hold.

As far as the rules are concerned, dont you think its time to give the mods some proper tools to do the job. At the moment i think boonex lives in the land of fantasy where you can have a site like this without control. Im here to tell you that you cant. Unless Andrew can stay awake 24/7 then you cant manage it on your own either with a little (edited out by admin) thingy when you happen to be about. This site needs a proper team of site staff behind it with the powers to take stuff down. This is see more

Agree, moderator tools are planned to be added right after the 7.0.1 release.

With the impending release of 7.0.1 it would be great to have the membership level of each member displayed in their profile for everyone to see, as it is on the account page which is of course only viewable by the account holder.

Currently you are able to display the active status of a member but the membership type is not currently an option.

It would make it quite clear to upgraded members that the person they are trying to contact is also upgraded and that they are not wasting their time see more

Great developments.

* Tips and Tricks and Code Sharing forums *

There was a note earlier with a concern that code not be posted to such a forum without asking the original author.

Here's a categorical statement from myself that you are free to copy there whatever notes and code snippets I may be posting around Boonex.com. This does not include things I link to, with the exception of screenshots, unless otherwise noted.

Perhaps others can post similar free-to-copy-me notes, so that those see more

I agree CodeSatori. Anything that I have posted here or elsewhere is freely available to post in the forums or use. Feel free to use or add to anything I may submit.
