  • The contribution note forum messages will be updated when the contribution is evaluated to reflect whether they were accepted or declined

  • It would be nice if declines could also show the reason for the decline. This could help us submit a follow up that (A) doesn't violate the reason for the decline while at the same time (B) fills in other accurate data.

    For those who will inevitably ask, Ken stated in chat that all these changes will be implemented within the next four weeks.

    I'm guessing that you are telling us that we can presently go into the contrbution notes and add a post telling what we like and dislike about the profile in the queue without submitting the profile. Am I understanding you correctly here?

    No, the contribution queue for each title will show the pending contributions that have not yet been formally evaluated.  For each, you'll be able to view the contribution as the evaluators do, and either approve or decline it as we do.  These approvals/declines will go into a vote system which will show to the evaluator when they process the contribution.  They will see a list of those that approve the contribution and those that dont.

    That sounds awesome.

    Will there be a comparison view, where we will view the pending contribution against the current one in the database?

    That is a good idea.

    would we also be able to compare pending submissions to our personal profiles?

    Well, Wednesday IS roughly the same as "half-past Monday"

    Hmmmm...I see "Database" above next to the link for My_Profiler. Coming soon (spelling?), but it still is nice to see changes happening right before my very eyes.

    Can one assume this will be where we'll be seeing the pending submissions?

    Our profiles will start to look pretty funny if we break out into drinking games!

    Thanks for the support on the idea.

    also, i think we need a dvdp 2.3.2 asap, which adresses some contribution wise issues that should not be too hard to add in... off the top of my head

  • link to contribution notes from the comparrison screen, so we can see the notes and then decide to accept or decline




  • This is already available - two skins which already use this are RHO's comparison skin (which I use for comparing the profiles) or the latest update to Roolku's skin - or you could even add the code for the link to the contribution notes in to any other skin you prefered to use..

    (IT just isn't in the standard skin supplied)

    good call paul

    - i wasnt aware such a skin existed - even in my slightly drunk state i was able to steal the code for my own skin 

    i always forget how crazy skinning in this program is - you can add all new features just via the skin
