    Google Adsense Ads in Crowdstack
    Rich Melvin0 replies
    We are considering running Google Adsense ads in our Crowdstack Forum . We've begun the initial setup with Google and are waiting their final approval. I am interested in learning if there are others here using Crowdstack to display Adsense ads. If so, I would like to see your site and get some ideas about how you chose to implement the ads into your site. Thanks ahead of time for your help.

    The "What Did You Do On You Layout Today" thread in our Crowdstack O Gauge Model Trains forum reached a huge milestone today when Publisher and CEO Alan Arnold made the 50,000 post to this thread! The thread was started on January 3, 2013 by forum member Alex Malliae. Here we are, over 11 years later, and the thread is still going strong. Amazing!

    MENU ITEM LINKS OPEN in a NEW WINDOW or TAB
    Rich Melvin1 reply
    🎉❤️
    There are certain menu items in our Crowdstack Top Menu Bar that link off-site, so we would like them to open in a new browser window or tab. The "Edit Menu Item" feature within the admin area does not provide a place to enter the target="_blank" code. I figured out how to do this with some JavaScript, but I had top-level technical help to do it, which might not be available to everyone. If you could incorporate code to provide the means to open a menu link in a new window or tab, similar to...

    A Very Unique Milestone in our Crowdstack Pro Forum.

    🎉❤️🏆📈
    We run a Crowdstack Site focused on Model Trains. We also publish a magazine called O Gauge Railroading . The magazine published its first issue in June of 1969, almost 52 years ago. We have been here since the "Eve" days, and may be Crowdstack's oldest customer. On January 3, 2013, one of our members started a thread entitled "What did you do on your layout today?" Yesterday, that thread reach a very unique milestone. 1,000 pages and 39,990 replies! I think that might be a record.

    Suggestion About Participation in Forum Threads
    Rich Melvin2 replies
    👀
    I'm suggesting that there should be a way to indicate to a member if has already posted in a specific thread. Some of the threads on our forum have very long legs. Many are several years old, but remain active with new ideas and photos posted in the threads daily. The record-holder is THIS THREAD which was started in January 2013 and is now 987 pages long! It still has new content posted in it every day. Threads that grow beyond a few pages become very difficult to search. If a member could...

    More Info in the RECENT POSTS Widget
    Rich Melvin1 reply
    ❤️
    We are trying to bring a bit more organization to our various model train forums. We are experiencing a lot of threads started in the wrong forums. One of our members made a good suggestion I want to run by you. Currently the RECENT POSTS widget displays the thread title and the timestamp of the latest post to the thread. It does not display the specific forum where the thread is posted. Can that be added to the listings? It could look like this: The red text is the name of the forum where...

    Popup Actions for Milestone Events
    Rich Melvin0 replies
    💯👍
    Would it be possible for you to add a Popup Action in the Automation Rules? This could be handy in many situations: Acknowledging a posting milestone (a member's 100th post, his 500th post, etc.) These would be a good opportunity to build member pride and loyalty via a "Congratulations!" popup. Notices on New Content about threads being started in the correct sub-forum. The setup should allow for us to author different popups for different purposes.
