At the moment it is not possible to post without giving posting authority to buildteam. With steem keychain it should also be possible to post without giving posting authority to an other account.
Yeah the "Testing testing 123" was me. So it seems like tokenbb works via setting up a forum in an individual main-comment, and all replies are sub-comments -- very neat. I'll keep my eye on this -- might be cool to implement a forum for my own project in the not too distant future.
It looks like after I logged in w/ SteemKeychain, I had to refresh the page before switching to my account worked. Previous post was w/ guest.tokenbb account. Looks cool so far!
We implemented it with comments to not spam peoples feeds too much. Creating a topic is also a comment so it will not conflict with feeds on other frontends
@cryptoctopus, I think a tag, and maybe a link to the post that is being replied to would be ideal. Something like: """ MESSAGES GOES HERE *** Reply to @mstafford - [LINK TO ORIGINAL REPLY] """ So that way you'll receive a mention notification, and a link to the context?
Congratulations for the work, @cryptoctopus! I really enjoyed the idea of using the comments to post on the forum and monetize it. Have you thought about adding topics for each language here?
Lovely new addition by BT team. Actually heard recently a guy mention that he has a large group of people on facebook that would be interested in moving to Steem if Steem had an integrated Forum function.
So there you have it.
Ill send him the link.
From what im seeing here right now, As Cryptodrive said, its still looking bland a bit, like eating oatmeal. :D
(Oh look the smileys work already)
Didnt notice any bugs atm outside of the aesthetic and window positioning kind...
One thing i would recommend is that you try and avoid, at any cost, beneficiary fees.
That is the death of platforms here.
There are a number of ways you can monetize the forums...
An idea i had would be creating premium on-platform digital content similar to what Discord is doing... Even take a look at https://quidd.co/ that sells digital stickers.. Try and incorporate another monetization method or i fear beneficiary fees will scare a lot of people off. Try being imaginative in that regard.
Thanks for the support and suggestion. We are working on the couple of models:
1- Split 50/50 of beneficiary rewards. So that it creates an incentives for forum owners to build their community and have instant monetization.
2- There is also the option that the owners pay us a monthly fee to have their forum and they get to keep the beneficiary rewards (set by them)
We are open to other suggestions. Ads could be part of the plan but it's definitely not a favorite of people in general. But the ad model could work.
Ads could work, yes. I still think there is an opportunity here for more inovative solutions.
When you mention beneficiary fees, users tend to step back a bit. Especially now that a cut in author rewards is being talked about with the Blocktrades worker proposal system.
That's another thing that I'm encountering too. I think it is important to be able to edit everything after it's already posted, and that includes being able to edit the post AND title at any time. But right now, Title's cannot be edited, and posts can only be edited on Steemit. My first preference would be to allow editing of the title and post on TokenBB, but if that's impossible due to blockchain constraints, being able to edit on Steemit would suffice. But if editing posts and titles must be done on Steemit.com, the link to Steemit should say "Edit on Steemit" instead of "View on Steemit" and should work seamlessly.
markdown rendering is one of the first things on our todo. We recently switched the editor to a markdown one and now need to do the same for the viewer :)
I think from memory chainbb just had a single forum per subject area. So I had a Basic Income forum, and it was just a single forum with no categories or sub forums. So I was able to set it so that any time someone wrote a post on steem with the tags basicincome, ubi etc it would show up in the forum. There was no "importing" of posts, chainBB was basically just another front end on the steem blockchain. It was just a different way of organising the blockchain data.
@revo, once logged in you should see a settings option in top left, there you can setup your categories, we can help you with categories and subcategories as the admin panel is not 100% finished, I think you can only set categories currently, but if you give us a site structure we can manually set it up for you. Have a look at https://drugwars.tokenbb.io for an example.
Jesta's old chainBB forum allowed the admin of a forum to set tags that would pick up any steem posts matching those tags and include them in the forum. Is this an option on tokenBB?
@revo I saw your message come up but can't find it easily on chain as all messages go to one comments section. Ie the forum is a post, the topics and replies and the replies are nested comments. Also Tokenbb is one way, if you reply via Partiko or Steemit.com it won't show on the forum.
please can you paste everything you said over here on https://test.tokenbb.io. I did briefly see that you can't see the settings, I will get @reggaemuffin to look into it in about 8 hours.
Hi @thecryptodrive. Here's what I posted (via steempeak). I sorted the settings thing, just logged out and in again.
While I've got you here, another question...
Jesta's old chainBB forum allowed the admin of a forum to set tags that would pick up any steem posts matching those tags and include them in the forum. Is this an option on tokenBB?
@revo, can you expand on that a little? How were the posts imported, ie all the post data and images imported as a topic? or was just a post link imported as a reply in a specific topic?
What about comments on the post, were those imported too?
The idea is to be one-way otherwise people can write malicious code on the Steem side and gets imported to our blog, also having to poll the chain all the time for new updates makes it very resource intensive, but ur dev team can have better insights into whether this would be possible.
As you can see we need many urgent features like admin categories management first before we look at something like this.
