There is so much new, I'm sure you're lost and confused. Ask away, I'll do my best to answer here.
KARMA EXPLAINED
Points distribution is based on contribution with different modifiers.
Even if you don't like it, this was a much needed change, karma circlejerking and whoring for promos was a problem with the previous setup. A lot of high level badges were earned "illegally".
Users were granted when karma was being recalculated and distributed:
- 1 Comment karma for every 10 comments.
- 1 Review karma for 5 reviews.
- 1 Pic karma for 5 pics.
- 1 Forum karma for 5 forum posts.
- 1 Group karma for 5 group posts.
- 1 Karma for 1 cycle log.
- 1 karma for 10 news posts.
Since launch, new rules are in effect:
- 1 Karma when post or comment is up/down voted.
- 1 Review Karma when a Review is submitted.
- 1 Pic Karma when pic is submitted.
- 1 Forum Kama when forum post is submitted.
- 1 Cycle Karma for a cycle submitted.
- 1 News Karma for submitted news.

Message function with source don't work for me.!!!!! They don't send are are gone. Souce confirmed that they see they got mesage but don't actually got it.
You can't PM a source?
i don't know how pm to the src
Added a convenient MSG Icon and text to user profiles, click that to send a PM to the user.
Much Better - Just used it!
Done . Thanks
Click the icon next to your avatar, click "write new message".
You'll need to type in a username.
Are the levels of Karma (or User Levels) still the same?
In the old system badges were assigned to users above certain karma level. In theory, this should work fine, but realistically a lot of high-level badges were earned through karma whoring and circlejerking.
I actually don't understand your question though.
In other words, formerly, we could achieve badges like this: NEW, then Basic, then level 1, and so on up to ADV etc. Wanted to make sure that we can still achieve the same badges with our contribution here, using the same karma point structure. Or can you achieve badges another way or sooner perhaps?
Where is the source discussion page of most recent activity comments?
On mobile: Click menu icon top right, click Source talk
On desktop: click Sources, click Source talk.
Source talk/discussion pages are already sorted by recent activity.
Gotcha. Thank you sir.
Yukon_JackLost af!!
Loved the old site.
Gitta do what u gotta do.
What is this shit, bring back the old forum damn it, why the changes, just adjust the karma and all the stuff u want but leave the old function and the site layout this is the most terrible layout i have ever experienced
I also liked the "unseen" button at top of the forums... It looks as if it's missing also??
unseen is planned!
This is gonna take some getting use to...
AnonHey bros.
I just logged in since the website change. I was forced to reset my password, don't know why but no problem. I am on a desktop PC and can see usernames and profile pics in these comments. I am glad the profile pics are visible, I could not see profile pics while not logged in and browsing from phone. I have come to associate some of you with your profile pics. Rusty for example, the frustrated head in hands pic of Danny Trejo fits Rusty like a glove lol. This new format will take some time to get used to. I don't have any questions. I need to spend some time learning how to get around now that things have changed.
This new format is fucking terrible
yikes
UNIT_where is the track button?
cant find discussions i recently commented on...
You have better tracking available now. On your profile check tabs My Activity, and Following tabs.
It tracks your own actions (comments, posts, votes) and actions for your friends and people you follow.
How about the public heartbeat. Is that still somewhere. I'm just so confused. I feel like the caveman guys from the geico commercials.
Pounds23Deff is different, alil hard to get used to but I'm sure over time hopefully it'll become easier.... I was using the latest srcs discussion... I think it'll just take some time getting use to... I will no doubt miss how user friendly one was.... But hopefully with time I'm sure this one will also grow on me
BFG Please would we be able to have a 'Track' button up on the top next to the Community drop box?
It would make navigation so much easier when talking to people in real time, it's all I ever used and I think it was the same for a lot of others also. It would be great if you could do that.

Hi Buddy - We need a Tracking button that operates exactly the same way the old one did in that as soon as a new comment is added to a page we have commented on, it shows the link to the page at the top and it keeps cycling itself round. Currently unless I am unaware of where it is we have no way of knowing when a page has updated that we are interested in with a new response.
The old Track function was pretty much addictive in its nature - it kept you constantly looking for changes and updates to an SI or Topic and thats why it worked so well. It had the ability to keep you active for hours at a time on the site
Currently it looks like we have a Stream feed in the middle but not a track.
Exactly. The way it is now I can't tell if a new post was made in a topic that I commented on. Much more labor intensive now and not very user friendly when trying to keep up on conversations.
tracker is in
WOAH MATE I've just seen it!!! AWESOME Stuff Pal - This is Brilliant
Looks much better than the Old one too.
So it will be like the old tracker?
Anything we comment on or a thread we take part off will pop us as having a new comment or activity???
test it out and report back.
BFG please bro, bring back the updates on tracking!!! It’s what made this site different, and more user friendly!!
Track button rocks!!!
see above anwser
AnonI am very lost without the Track button.
see above anwser
Yes, I lived by the track button!
see above anwser
YES!! That would be much appreciated, I feel very disconnected!
What the hell is this
Do miss new comments being highlighted in threads and chance we can have that back?
I've seen a couple of complaints regarding this. If the pink outline around the new comment isnt enough, I could maybe squeeze in "new post" somewhere
That would be very helpful
Molinin302As long as the pink box stays, I'm a fan.
Yes
Yes yes new post would be great
Thank you for clarification. Seems completely fair to me and yes . Necessary. Thank you.
+1
And i think guys here will have shitload of comments regarding glitches and stiches. But that's all part of change. Much needed indeed.
