Re: Forum-specific duties and volunteers
If it’s needed I can help moderate the German forum – But this would be a great job for Alex, too ;)

Re: Forum-specific duties and volunteers
I like to suggest Skubidu to become one of the Feature Ideas forum moderators. Skubidu has (as TXP and WP user) a very good overview over features, i can confirm.
( i will not take another txp job upon my shoulders :) this century)
@Els

Re: Forum-specific duties and volunteers
neutrino: Any thread that any member makes that is important or helpful can potentially be stickied, and any thread placed in an appropriate forum is welcome. As a general guideline, I’m not very keen on having too many sticky posts, or the idea of “this post has significant meaning”, well, loses meaning. :)
The wiki really is the proper place for it, I don’t understand the aversion some have to using it, that’s the whole purpose behind having user collaboration software in place. That way others can add to and update the list, whereas with a forum thread they’d have to go through a particular person. I’m certain if you talk to Destry about it (either in the forum or email, whatever), he can advise you regarding that.
Edit – and neutrino and P: yeah, don’t feel you have to become a moderator to make valuable contributions to the community. The moderators job is to help the forum admins keep discussion smooth (on-topic for that forum, etc) and easy. They aren’t asked to moderate because of any speciality they may have, but because they expressed the desire to pitch in. :)

I agree and the more I thought about it I realized that:
The wiki really is the proper place for it, . . .
I don’t understand the aversion some have to using it . . .
For me it’s just the learning curse of the wiki syntax. I’m sure I’ll apprecaite it more once I understand it better.

Wiki syntax tends to scare people off but it’s really not any harder then textile. In fact a lot of it is quite similar, with links probably being the oddest part.
If you are ever unsure about how to do something just edit a section that is doing what you want to do and see how they did it. You will find it’s simpler then you thought.

Re: Forum-specific duties and volunteers
I just want to let you know that while I am not the chattiest forum member, I still read most everything and am quite open to helping. Let me know if I can be of assistance, whether it be in-forum or out.

Re: Forum-specific duties and volunteers
If you need a hand in Layout & CSS I’d be willing to help out. I’m too new to TXP (ie just learning) for the more Textpattern specific fora.

@Mary – I wasn’t sure where to ask this but how did I manage to turn into “Omega” overnight?

hi bombsite.
Mary has posted somewhere that custom titles for member have been removed to not confuse new users in forum, or something like that.

Re: Forum-specific duties and volunteers
Ahaa! Though I haven’t seen that anywhere???
And aren’t people confused anyway? Isn’t that the reason for them being here? :)
