Implemented Featured Content

[Quis]

I’ve asked @Technosword permission to re-create this suggestion.

This is his suggestion: https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/see-someone’s-featured-content.265028/

This thread got Escalated, but it did not get implemented, so I wanted to suggest it again.

I want people to be able to click on someone’s featured content.

At the moment you can see how many featured content someone has posted. It is nothing more than a flex right now, and I want it to be something useful and entertaining.

You are already able click on someone’s messages and I want featured content to be the same.

amazing idea! I wonder who made it

 

[Floerkleed]

I actually don't even know what featured content is because of this (because I'm a newbie hahah). I would love to see this in the future! :D

 

[Typicaaal]

Nice idea! I actually tried clicking on it a few times on different profiles and wondered why this was never a thing. Would love to see this implemented!

Featured content is a thread that reaches the home page of the Cubecraft website. Most likely news or something fun.

Bump

Looks cool and I don't see a reason why this should not be added :)

I hope this will be implemented!

I agree with this, it would be really fun to be able to see a users featured content and as someone already mentioned, I don't really se a reason not to add it. Great suggestion!

Hey Quis, thanks for the suggestion. I've been on an adventure through our forums settings trying to find a setting for featured content to be clickable but I can't find it, the plugin for featured threads also doesn't seem to support this either. It does however support adding another tab in the users profile page here:

-that lists all the featured content however I don't think we should enable it as a massive percentage of our forums users have zero featured content and so it'd be space getting taken up for no reason. It'd be much cleaner without.

Please react with agree if you'd like to see this tab enabled, disagree if you do not and unsure if you are inbetween. :]

I understand. But I’d rather want featured content deleted, than what it is now. It has no purpose at the moment, and it’s just a flex for mostly staff members. I think the extra tab is fine. Maybe my opinion is gonna be a bit unpopular, but that’s how I think it should be.

Adding another tab is no problem in mu opinion. I only use those tabs to find out what a player did recently or to go to their about page. Another tab shouldn’t matter.

We are trying to take steps to feature more community member content, its just very uncommon and affects a very small percentage of people.

That’s true. But there might be a simple way to change that.

What if you add implemented suggestions to featured content. Maybe list the most recent once on the homepage and featured content won’t be “rare” anymore.

This is just a small suggestion to make it more common.

If that’s not a good idea or if it’s not possible, I would still like the extra tab on profiles.

I would like to hear your opinion on this extra little suggestion.

I dont think suggestions should get featured on the front page, its really unfair considering the amount of suggestions, it'd get it more coverage but it also messes with our data on what people want since front page material is guarranteed to get a LOT of agrees.

So, how would you make featured content more accessible for members? You might know better what’s possible and what’s not.

Another option is to add another list like this on the forum list page:

If a suggestion reaches the forwarded/planned page, it would count as featured content. It would be a great way to reward someone for their good suggestion. But I think you’ll have the same problem with the data. @Story

It seems like a decent enough amount of people agree with this suggestion, it's normally not enough to make a change across the entire forums for so many people but it's worth doing and seeing if people dislike it, it can be pulled quite easily if we receive negative feedback from others who have not seen this thread.

Implemented. :]
