You reminded me to ask, @amslimfordy... Could you make it so females on the site become Fling Queens when they reach 4000 points, rather than Fling King? You could probably tie in their 'chosen' gender from their profiles with-in the coding of the badge name. Oh, and I can't wait for the new feature/s, sounds great:)
-
@angermanagement -- I don't think having gender specific ranks is such a good idea.
-
@FBB - Why did you post only a dot?
-
@amslimfordy I couldn't guess what you are preparing for us but I know it would be great as always. can't wait to see.
-
@AngerManagement , the gender field is blank by default. I've been here for a while and I still haven't filled it in. What do you suggest happens then? Does the badge read "Flinging hermaphrodite"? "Royal flinging transgendered crossdresser"? Just curious ;-)
My own gripe with the ranking is that there are so many levels. If there were less than 10, I might actually remember what those pictograms on our avatars mean. -
@burpie - Sorry, but I almost fell off the chair while I was laughing to your "suggestions" xD
I don't see any reason to change the current ranks. At the moment my rank pic seems to be boxers so that should also be changed :D I think the ranks are great as they are now, no need for a change :D -
@AMslimfordy
> Where do you keep your crown?
In the car.
Wait, you've got something I've always wanted while driving? Is it modified Goolgle Glasses so I can play AB with head gestures? -
Ha, ha @burpie sort of those glasses came out couple days ago. You can't play AB using your mind but maybe in future. Who knows what future brings?
"Where do you keep your crown"
"in the car" - Is that some kind of joke or what? If not, my crown is on my head. -
@cosmo2503 Yes, in the car. In the house I kept banging it against doorframes which made all the servants giggle ;-)
-
Can you add the "Edit" button for comment in update news and walkthrough page
-
@AngerManagement I don't believe the code has accessibility to this type of logic.
@FBB This feature is specifically disabled on the main site. We will not be enabling it.
@burpie I'm afraid to even respond. I can barely breathe. -
@burpie, ha, great suggestions, but I was thinking it would just stay as 'King' if not filled in;D @amslimfordy, I'm not a coding expert, but what does @birdleader think of this option???
-
But if someone hasn't inserted the gender in the settings, how would the system know if it's male or female?
-
@AMslimfordy - I was just talking with @mvnla2 at the BP...any idea why can't I get any notifications from the forum?
Edit: Here's the message I posted there:
" I only get notifications when someone sends me a pm or comments my post in fe. the daily challenge or something like that. My username is same as my nickname, but only with the small L, but I still don't get any notifications from the forum. That's why I sometimes don't reply when someone asks something, 'cause I just don't see the post :/ " -
Click on your own username ^^^
On the right hand side, you should see your avatar. Just left of that, is there an option "Edit Forum Preferences" or something similar? (I ask because I'm not sure if these are publicly visible) -
Yay, I think I got it fixed now! Thanks @AMslimfordy - I hadn't noticed those settings at all :D
-
crown… hmmm where did I put it… ermmm don't even remember I have one… but if I had, where would I put it?? ermmm in my badges vault I think… *heads over to her vault* nope… not there… :( Do I even have a crown @AMSlimfordy? do we all have one? Or just the people that are active with the facebook AB friends? (little icon is a crown at the top right navigation section)… sighh… guess you are indeed a "tease" ehhh sorry mean you are succeeding in the practice of the "Rovio tease" LOL
-
Hahaha @E-Star :D I'm pretty sure that my crown (if I ever had one) was taken by The Little Monster and now it's hidden somewhere in his room! So maybe when I find my phone (Yep, it's there somewhere) I'll probably find my crown too! :D
-
An idea: a leaderboard for Google Chrome Dimension levels? They're pretty fun levels.
-
@AngerManagement -- My thoughts on Fling King:
1) I personally do not want anything to encourage teenage girls to identify themselves as female on this site. Momma Bear side showing.
2) If for whatever reason, you don't want to identify your gender on your profile page, I think it is more insulting for the site to assume you are not female than to have a badge that doesn't differentiate between male and female.
Personally, I didn't mind having a badge called Fling King, and for quite a while there was running commentary about wearing the boxers as swimsuit bottoms, followed by packing them in your suitcase and a group vacation to Peacock Island. -
@SamsonKJ We don't plan to add any such Leaderboard. Very few levels, hyper exclusive, and a platform that is rarely update.
-
@mvnla2 I totally agree with your Momma Bear cautiosness.
-
Although this is not neccesarily required, considering there is a search bar, I think it is a great idea nonetheless, @leggy:]
-
I don't believe that system allows subfilters though I can ask BirdLeader. The system is not our own creation, but a public plugin available for WordPress that is tweak able to match one's site. I'm not sure how much control we have over that. The search bar may be the best option for the time being.
-
Hmmm, does the current search bar only recognise specific names, or can it relate mispellings to a username, @amslimfordy???
-
It's a pure search on nickname, but partials should work fine. e.g., "junken" should show junkenmetal. Even "metal" would probably search fine.
-
@AMSlimfordy -- Bet you can't find Junkenmetel searching for "metal" : )
-
@slim There needs to be some sort of rewards system for avid forum contributors. Not like points per comment or anything, but maybe a badge or something. You may have noticed my badge proposal comment on the Badges and Rank page.
-
@AngryBirdsSpaceMater That sort of thing encourages spamming, which isn't a good idea. Also, we will be migrating forums in the not too distant future.
-
Oh, I see. What do you mean by migrating though?
-
We will be moving the forum from here to a location within the main site. This forum is very separate.
-
I would really like a place to put my Facebook Mighty Hoax and Poached Eggs scores as well as my Facebook Tatooine and Death Star scores since the system only recognizes the platform I play on the most.
-
Sorry @uozumi but there are specific reasons why we do not have such leaderboards.
-
I also play on the PC so it's kind of boring that I can't post those scores either. I mean what's the point of a leaderboard if you can't actually post all your scores?
-
@uozomi, you can post scores on all devices (including PC!), except for Google Chrome (AMSlimfordy himself explained why: "Very few levels, hyper exclusive, and a platform that is rarely updated") Also, I see no reason why you cannot post Facebook scores on the normal leaderboards, unless they have been achieved with Power-Ups! Oh, and @amslimfordy, I tried @mvnla2's 'metal' search suggestion, and the second result was 'JunkenMetel', so the search bar works great:]
-
Oh yeah, and how come there are so many dating sites that advertise here, @amslimfordy. Half of the times I look at the top-right advertisement, I see indecent pictures there. Is there any way that you could filter those websites out of advertising, as you say, there are alot of young children that visit this website?
-
@AngerManagement I think the system is based on the info they are getting from your computer/device... Mine are showing Dutch adverts and most of the time it shows me sites I have been on. So I don't think ABN can't filter the adds, cause it is an automatic system. But maybe Slim knows more.
-
All of the ads it shows me are definitely English, but none from websites I have been on before. Are you sure there is no way to filter them. Surely there must be some sort of qualifying system on how suitable websites are compared to ABNs rating on such a scale? If not, then that wold be a good idea to stop these types of websites from advertising on ABN, and other sites like it!
-
No not sure cause I only know what I see in my screen and know about advertizing, don't know what ABN is using and what options they have for the showing of the adverts. @birdleader might know how that works.
-
@AngerManagement I see no problem with dating websites advertising here. We have geared most of the ads toward mobile apps though.
If there is inappropriate imagery, please take a screenshot, copy the URL, and send it to us via email. -
On the subject of ads, there is now an ad placed on the walkthrough page directly between the walkthrough video & the tags/avg score/top score info. It's a little distracting.. @AMSlimfordy
Sorry for complaining, everything you guys do here is so awesome! -
-
I haven't seen any dating ads. Actually there's always some game ads on the sides of the page and below the golden bar, there's usually some finnish company ads (like insurance companies etc.) so not sure where those ads are coming from.
-
Yeah, @amslimfordy, about 90% of the ads are for gaming websites etc. But, there are sometimes some inappropriate ones, I'll take a screenshot for the next time one comes on.
