Patron perks, redux

Is there any way to change the name of threads manually?

Sure. Just move to the very first posting of the topic, hit “Edit” and change the headline.
This is possible in most forum categories, but not in “Play Boardgames” where edits are never allowed. So type carefully there ;-) . However, you can ask a moderator by pm to edit the title, there.

In that case it is important to send the link to the respective topic and what you want to have corrected there.

The answer of @djensen implies that the issue could be resolved by switching to a newer forum theme, what might lead to other problems.

In the meantime you can always access every chat by klicking “Continue chat with” from your chat partner’s profile page.

@Midnight_Reaper I’m good, thanks for asking. The holiday season was just very busy. I also got knocked out by some non-COVID cold in October.

The “trophy” plugin is installed but now I need to update the forum Theme to show them. Always something.

Would signatures be a good perk for patrons?

Unfortunately the avatar idea is trickier than it seems so:

Bronze: badge
Silver: no ads, badge
Gold: discount, no ads, badge

I think that this idea is the best of what I’ve heard so far. I think that maybe perhaps the higher tiers might need to come at a higher price if costs have increased. Right now we have:

Bronze - $10
Silver - $25
Gold - $50

I like Bronze at $10 - I contributed a little bit, here’s proof. But maybe we might think about Silver at $30 and Gold at $60. Higher tiers - get more after giving more. I know I don’t speak for everyone, but I’d chip in $60 for gold. And yes, it put my money where my mouth is, when I do send my PayPal for my gold, I’ll send $60 this year.

Also, why not a Platinum tier. Do it for, say, $100. I don’t know if I’d plop down for that, but I guess it depends on what you or someone else can think up for possible Platinum tier benefits besides a badge that might get confused for Silver…

Another idea - sign up for Patreon.com. Perhaps some people who can’t do $50 in one shot can do $5 every month - which would be $60 for you, minus whatever Patreon charges.

As promised, I dropped $60 for Gold. Now to see how long it takes el Jefe to get caught up to his backlog…
