RPG Haven

So I've been thinking of new things to add to RPG Haven. Would you like to see a reaction system and trophies? I think there's some extensions that allow members to earn trophies. I know there's a reaction system, I had it on a phpBB forum I used to have. I'd like to hear everyone's feedback before I go looking for these extensions.

I think it be a really nice addition to the site

Awesome this weekend I'll look for some extensions! I already downloaded a rewards extension, I'll have to find a good like/reaction system. (I had one installed on another forum, I'll have to see if I need to repurchase it or if I get unlimited downloads.)

Yeah true, it would make the forum more fun. I have a reaction system on my forms and I think it's a way to boost community engagement. There is something I still don't understand about the ranking system. How did you do that?

I used an official extension called Auto Groups, and set up ranks so whenever members reach a certain post count they automatically get placed into a usergroup. It's this extension:

Man I keep forgetting to do this. *Facepalm* I get a longer weekend so I definitely plan on doing this sometime this up coming weekend. I might also look to get a new theme too.

So this was finally implemented last night! Now I just need to make a few more flairs, we currently have three but I was thinking about adding some more. Possibly like a shield for how many months/years members have been part of the community. I was also thinking about possibly adding some ones based on games like Pokemon.

Nice additions, maybe work in some Final Fantasy icons?

I think that's a good idea! Final fantasy, Pokemon, and possibly Dragon Quest? I'm not too familiar with DQ but it's a popular series too. I'll whip up some more when I'm feeling a bit better. I'm thinking we could have a buster sword flair, a Pokeball flair, and a slime flair just to name one for each series.

Looking forward to what you can do!
