Nevermind...I figgered it out
Chris -Slydawg -1) Can we keep our content? All posts and threads?
Will our join dates remain?
Will there be an App?
4) What will pro cost?
1) yes
2) yes
3) yes
4) Pro membership wont really be a thing anymore. Read up on the trust level from OP
sounds good.
Trust Level 0 — New
By default, all new users start out at trust level 0, meaning trust has yet to be earned. These are visitors who just created an account, and are still learning the community norms and the way your community works. New users’ abilities are restricted for safety – both theirs and yours.
(We also want to hide any “advanced” functionality from new users to make the UI less confusing for them as they gain more experience.)
Users at trust level 0 cannot …
- Send personal messages to other users
- “Reply as new topic” via Link button (UI removed)
- Flag posts
- Post more than 1 image
- Post any attachments
- Post more than 2 hyperlinks in a post
- Have actual links in the ‘about me’ field of their profile (will be silently and temporarily converted to plain text)
- Mention more than 2 users in a post
- Post more than 3 topics
- Post more than 10 replies
- Edit their own posts after more than 24 hours
Admins can change these limitations by searching for newuser and first_day in site settings.
Trust Level 1 — Basic
At Discourse, we believe reading is the most fundamental and healthy action in any community. If a new user is willing to spend a little time reading, they will quickly be promoted to the first trust level.
Get to trust level 1 by…
- Entering at least 5 topics
- Reading at least 30 posts
- Spend a total of 10 minutes reading posts
Users at trust level 1 can…
- Use all core Discourse functions; all new user restrictions are removed
- Send PMs
- Upload images and attachments if enabled
- Edit wiki posts
- Flag posts
- Mute other users
Admins can change these thresholds by searching for tl1 in site settings.
Trust Level 2 — Member
Members keep coming back to your community over a series of weeks; they have not only read, but actively participated long and consistently enough to be trusted with full citizenship.
Get to trust level 2 by…
- Visiting at least 15 days, not sequentially
- Casting at least 1 like
- Receiving at least 1 like
- Replying to at least 3 different topics
- Entering at least 20 topics
- Reading at least 100 posts
- Spend a total of 60 minutes reading posts
Users at trust level 2 can…
- Use the “Invite others to this topic” button for one-click onboarding of new users to participate in topics
- Invite outside users to PMs making a group PM
- Daily like limit increased by 1.5×
- Ignore other users
- Edit their own posts for up to 30 days after posting
Admins can change these thresholds by searching for tl2 in site settings.
Trust Level 3 — Regular
Regulars are the backbone of your community, the most active readers and reliable contributors over a period of months, even years. Because they’re always around, they can be further trusted to help tidy up and organize the community.
To get to trust level 3, in the last 100 days…
- Must have visited at least 50% of days
- Must have replied to at least 10 different non-PM topics
- Of topics created in the last 100 days, must have viewed 25% (capped at 500)
- Of posts created in the last 100 days, must have read 25% (capped at 20k)
- Must have received 20 likes, and given 30 likes.*
- Must not have received more than 5 spam or offensive flags (with unique posts and unique users for each, confirmed by a moderator)
- Must not have been suspended or silenced
* These likes must be across a minimum number of different users (1/5 the number), across a minimum number of different days (1/4 the number). Likes cannot be from PMs.
All of the above criteria must be true to achieve trust level 3. Furthermore, unlike other trust levels, you can lose trust level 3 status. If you dip below these requirements in the last 100 days, you will be demoted back to Member. However, in order to avoid constant promotion/demotion situations, there is a 2-week grace period immediately after gaining Trust Level 3 during which you will not be demoted.
Users at trust level 3 can…
- Recategorize and rename topics
- Access a secure category only visible to users at trust level 3 and higher
- Have all their links followed (we remove automatic nofollow)
- TL3 spam flags cast on TL0 user posts immediately hide the post
- TL3 flags cast on TL0 user posts in sufficient diversity will auto-silence the user and hide all their posts
- Make their own posts wiki (that is, editable by any TL1+ users)
- Daily like limit increased by 2×
Admins can change these thresholds by searching for TL3 in site settings.
Trust Level 4 — Leader
Leaders are regulars who have been around forever and seen everything. They set a positive example for the community through their actions and their posts. If you need advice, these are the folks you turn to first, and they’ve earned the highest level of community trust, such that they are almost moderators within the community already.
Get to trust level 4 by…
- Manual promotion by staff only
- (Possibly via a to-be-developed election system in the future)
Users at trust level 4 can…
- Edit all posts
- Pin/unpin topic
- Close topics
- Archive topics
- Make topics unlisted
- Split and merge topics
- Reset topic bump date
- Daily like limit increased by 3×
- Any TL4 flag cast on any post immediately takes effect and hides the target post

It's the default view if you just go to https://discuss.mixedmartialarts.com
Finally, you're making the right decision.
pidgey -Finally, you're making the right decision.
Yeah...encouraging members to vote when they wouldn't otherwise is the right decision? Viewing 25% of posts will just lead to members clicking then getting out but more power to you guys. I don't have access sometimes for a week or two like in January. That said I don't care much about my internet status so go for it. Cami can be your ruler with copy and pastes from twitter lol (no offense camicon).
yusul -does discourse have a frames mode? one where you can scroll down one side but maintain the current thread? if not, are there ones that do? i'd find it hard to believe that the og is the only frames forum in existence.
Literally, the only thing I care about. If they can maintain that feature, everything else is icing.

Will the new forum platform still allow tolerance for bears and other species?
Other than that i would still really like frames and app access

Can we not get a historical landmark designation by the us government and funding for being a framed forum still in use so young folks can see how their grandparents used to internets?

If you know of one, please let me know. As far as my research has gone, we are it.
so wix, ukit or ucoz don't do frames? i haven't been able to access templates.
I have always used frames. It's the reason I use this forum and no other on the internet. That being said you have to do what you feel is best for the site. People will just have to deal with it.

You will. I just had to do it with an email I haven't looked at in over 10 years.

Same. I spent ten seconds on that site wanting to like it, but I just bailed.
This is going to be a real conundrum.

My hope is to migrate all existing accounts.
