Boost replies to your Welcome forum
by
28 Dec 2004
This is applicable if you run a Welcome or Introduce yourself type of forum. After taking the advice of the Improve your community registration & posting rate thread, the people posting in my Intorductions forum has easily tripled. Since we are now getting a lot of initial posts from new users introducing themselves, there haven't been many replies and a few that simply go unanswered. So I have decided to reward the one's who do welcome people with a "Welcoming Committee" image that goes under their avatar. Since doing this, replies have increased a lot and those who get the image feel like they are part of something.  I did this with a simple conditional, I created a new group called greeters and made a simple little button image that would fit nicely under their avatar. The called it up with this: in your postbit (or postbit_legacy) template find:
Add this under it:
Change the paths and group number accordingly, then add your greeters to the group. I also stickied a post in this forum promoting it. No members have liked this post.

I like it. Here's an idea to extend it. Would be interesting if you could modify it a bit so that people automatically get that avatar if they replied to a post in that greeter forum in the last X days.

Maybe a way to utilize the promotion system and set something up on a per forum basis then add a conditional. Not sure really, just thinking out loud but I may look into it when I get some time.

Personally I can't think of a way to do this without a query.

Newbie question, If my site has user info to the left rather than accross the top, do I make the change in the postbit legacy?
