    That should be easy to do since its built in WP.

    That's an interesting idea actually.

    It would add a fresh new positive dynamic to the site imo, a little bit more interactivity and a unique point that none of the clones have.

  • jbilohjbiloh Administrator, Veteran

    Yeah I agree, the interactivity aspect is especially intriguing. Would give users more control over what providers get the most time up top, etc.

    Yep, you would probably need to tie in a user/login system to LEB, I suppose cross site auth with LET would be simple enough or you could end up with a lot of abuse of the system.

    Doing this gives future options for user submitted posts with karma ratings as well, now you have the tabbed system 'hat tip for that' it would not get messy and again brings interactivity that no other clones have.

  • DylanDylan Member

    That is a really, really good idea.

  • SpiritSpirit Member

    Depend how you look at it. If you want to have same popular 2 or 3 hosts all the time on the top of the frontpage then that's good idea.

    But if you want to have LEB which would serve to it's purpose - introducing/featuring LEB hosts (instead of reposting coupons from same old names all the time) then this would be a challenge which could make from blog again readable website worth to open and comment.

    I will be looking into the options for this, as it's definitely appealing. There seems to be a plugin for integration: http://wordpress.org/plugins/vanilla-forums/. If this does actually work it'll solve a large number of issues we've had with the comment system and it will definitely integrate the two sites more, which would be absolutely awesome.

    If I have some moments this week I'll add this to my test installations and see how it works out.

    I don't know, ppl will vote negative if the host hosts on CC

    Well those would be people that would not buy CC based products so it is a fair vote.

    I know there are 50 x "this could happen" arguments, but you just don't know until you try, if it is a success it will be a huge one imo, linking in the LET auth for votes will help weed out most of the abuse by default

    They could also make it so only up votes are allowed.

    Also... what is to stop all these hosts from making mass accounts to upvote.

  • level4level4 Member

    This post made me join, I've been browsing these forums for a long time. and would certainly like to be part of LowEndTalk's future.

    And where's the conspiracy theory that people would buy votes too? =P goes both ways

    It's been 5 days now and I still don't see any bar on the top, has it been canceled?

    If you don't have any proxy detection or something like that in place, it's going to get abused.

    You should probably clear your browser cache or do a hard refresh (CTRL+F5 on normal systems, APPLE+R on Apple's property).

  • LeeLee Veteran

    A tab with 3 links. That's hardcore...

    Should this discussion not be on LEB?

    I've done that, I still don't see anything. I wonder if I need to enable any plugins apart from flash and javascript?

  • This is what you're supposed to see: http://i.imgur.com/uc4P8mI.png

  • I tried it on a couple of VMs and I can't see that. Doesn't matter really as it's only links.

    Strange. Do you get to see new posts?

    Maybe your CloudFlare PoP is having a bad cache resulting in the old header still loading.

    That's actually the only reasonable explanation, because I've tried different browsers and different OSes and I still can't see any layout differences. Yes I can see new posts.

    I wonder if there are more people with this issue. I'm located in SE UK if that matters.

  • wychwych Member

    I am in the UK and can see the update.

  • I suggest @jbiloh gives back LEB / LET back to the community where it truly belongs.

  • My bad, I thought the update was for LET but it was for LEB.

    Next joke.

    You can see it on LEB right? ;)

  • Yes I can see it alright. The note of coming changes was here on LET so I assumed it was meant for this board, not LEB. My bad, apologies.
