UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Promoting Your Community The official myPaymentPal-ThreadsDev Member Spotlight Entry Thread

Following in the footsteps of our First Member Spotlight contest, and our sister site, UBBDev, we are proud to announce our Second myPaymentPal-ThreadsDev Member Spotlight Contest!

We are looking for UBB.Threads site owners who exemplify excellence in 5 categories:
- Design Integration
- Appropriate color scheme
- User Experience
- Appropriate use of modifications (originality scores big here)
- Overall excellence

This time, we have a twist.

Rather than the staff voting on the entries, we will use a poll so that the users here will vote on the best site. So all sites are eligible for entry, since it's a user judged contest.

The top 2 sites will get interviewed (See Previous Winner Interviews) and the winning site will receive a license to myPaymentPal. myPaymentPal allows you to collect and automate subscription signups and paid access to forum features using PayPal.

The winner will also receive a "Spotlight Contest Winner" logo which may be displayed with pride on your site and your profile here.

So, if you feel your site has the perfect blend of modifications, appropriate color scheme, great integration with the rest of your site and just overall "rocks" , then please submit your site entry IN THIS THREAD today!

Entries will be accepted until Friday, January 9th at midnight Eastern Time. Then we will compile the list of entries into a poll which will be open for voting until January 16th.

Now for the fine print:
- Eligible entries must be a legal UBB.Threads license (this includes all versions). If you have a pirated board... don't bother entering.
- Forum must have been established for at least three months.
- Any warez, porno or warez/porn related sites, sites with links, banners, pop-ups to any warez or pornographic sites need not apply. We may exclue any other site that we deem to be inappropriate or contains inappropriate content, or content deemed to be inappropriate or illegal.
- Sites that illegally hide/remove/modify the Infopop copyright notice may not enter. (Let us know if you have legally removed this info under a wwwthreads license.)
- Sites with threads which contain excessive profanity or vulgar language or content will be disqualified

Entries can be disqualified for any other reason at the discression of the ThreadsDev staff with or without notice to the entrant.
We reserve the right to modify the rules of this contest at any time if needed, or if we just feel like yanking your chain.

Please only reply here to Enter Your site - Do not reply here with comments or conversation. Posts which are not related to contest entry will be removed. If you have questions, post them to the Announcement Thread. Thanks.

ALSO - If you need to login to take advantage of features, please provide a user login/passowrd for testing purposes.

Please count www.biketrip.com in

Okay, great idea Omegatron, I have same issue. You cant do half of whats in biketrip unless you sign in. Use the same userid/passwd as he recommended..

Userid: ThreadsDev
Passwd: ThreadsDev

In particular, go to "Distance Tracker" and feel free to enter distances as a test. Keep in mind you can only have one entry per day, so pick a different day if needed. I'll clean it all out later.

Yep might as well throw mine in here as well since staff is cool to enter. http://www.reeftalk.com/

To get the best from the site you really need to be logged in (as that is when the club based navigation kicks in) So I have created a test account

I will jump in here too http://www.vhfans.com

Whilst I doubt I will win - the link(s) below will get picked up by spiders

My site is 'Non League UK' - we support non-league football (soccer) teams in the UK - this means any team that is below the Football League - usually these are part-time teams - but we go right down to grass-roots, and do not exclude any team however small.

Essentially it works on the basis that each club that would like a forum (they just ask for a free forum) is allocated a category - and a unique URL - e.g. http://forums.nonleague.com/hornchurch which they then include on their own website - anyone clicking on that link will get their clubs forum, a forum for the league that their team plays in and a few communal forums shared by everyone. We have a menu system so that users can navigate to other club forums etc. This means that small clubs have their own area, and are not swamped by the bigger clubs.

Depending upon their club, they get a different sidebar showing for each club or league (have completed 100+ so far out of over 1,000) this gives the extra navigation to results, league tables etc., and shows their club badge down the side. Users can select their club upon signup - and can change their club (and their navigation) via 'My Home'.

Whilst our main URL is http://www.nonleague.com - the site is split into different sections...

http://forums.nonleague.com
http://links.nonleague.com
http://games.nonleague.com
http://graffiti.nonleague.com
http://chat.nonleague.com
http://mailman.nonleague.com
http://photos.nonleague.com
(plus a few more in development)

Hi,

We are currently making lots of changes, but they are not ready yet

Oh well, the current one is already pretty decent I think. You can check it at http://www.nanaplaza.com/ or go directly to the http://board.nanaplaza.com/

Integrated Threads, PhotoPost (including one install that indexs all uploads), ReviewPost, Classfieds, Radio (user voting), Owners Gallery (with cross links to ReviewPost) - with everything heavily modified.

I'd like to consider my heavily modified UBB.Threads site GarageGlamour.com. I have spent many late nights making changes to the code to give a seemless feel to the entire site. The site is geared around glamour photography with many of the top glamour and celebrity photographers from around the country posting regularly.

One MAJOR mod was the development of a custom model/photographer portfolio system. You can search for portfolios from the drop down menu on the homepage. There is searching with xx miles from your zipcode.

When a new login is created, and your are verified via e-mail, on your next login, you have to fill out a profile for yourself. This also included many modifications to allow for the additional fields I needed for the portfolio system.

Whever possible, the look and feel of the site is maintained.

My site OmanForum.Com

Josh,

I didnt forget about our discussion, I just became very busy all of a sudden and had to leave the country, soon I will be back and make that transaction

Mostly technical modifications:

- Migrated UBB.Threads from MySQL to PostgreSQL.

- Improved performance significantly (we currently have 230,000 posts).

- Automatically generated "hot topics" based on activity in threads.

- "Dynamic view" in addition to flat and threaded.

- Added AIM and Yahoo messenger online status, plus clicking the online status icon opens an IM window (if the IM is installed, of course...).

- Quite a lot of minor stuff, e.g. mods can see IP used to send PMs, mods/admins have a "ban" button on the "who's online" screen, users can have all replies to their posts emailed to them, allow users to edit their own titles, UBB.Codes for underline, superscript and subscript, quoting doesn't "nest" quotes from previous message, and many more.

Thank you all....

Just 24 more hours to submit your site here!!!!! Get your entries in.

against my better judgement... www.couch-tomatoe.cc

some great sites so far... good luck everyone

Please add www.iyarilimon.com/ubbthreads to the contest

We are the official website of actress Iyari Limon from "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer". We currently serve about 5000 teenagers from all over the globe. Feel free to change the birthday of the user ThreadsDev to the current day when you check the board so you get properly greeted. Note the time zone clocks we've installed on the board, so that users in Los Angeles can talk to folks in Helsinki while still being aware of the time of day -- our "Happy New Year" greetings took about 18 hours to get through. Also, please visit the special "Tribute" site the board users set up to honour the board's recent one year anniversary: www.iyarilimon.com/tribute . Thanks for your consideration!
