New Warrior Forum Social Bookmarking Site Now Live!

[Tim Dixon]

If you're like me you are often wandering through the dusty corridors of the WF looking for interesting posts to read and comment on.

The trouble is that it's not always easy to spot those popular threads unless you're checking the forum constantly throughout the day and quite often perfectly good ones disappear without trace due to the understandable popularity of the WF and the very high post rate.

I often though it would be a great idea to have a Digg type site dedicated to the WF where us Warriors could look for and bookmark our favourite posts and vote on ones we like etc. etc. but I don't know of one in existence (apologies if there is one, but I couldn't find any active at the moment!).

So, I have set one up:

If you like the idea please take the time to head on over and register, then grab the bookmarker from your profile to add to your browser toolbar.

Then any time you find a post you like, just bookmark it. If someone else has already submitted it then it will tell you and you can vote/comment on it.

This is all completely free and there is no advertising on the site at all.

I will be administering it and trying to keep out the spammers. Please note that I will only accept Warrior Forum posts (they can come from any section on the WF).

I hope this will become a really useful little addon to the WF.

When I click on Vote I see Forbidden page.
I have used that script and it was crashing my server all time.

You have to be a member and logged in to vote, but either way it shouldn't give you an error page when you try if not logged in.

I will investigate that.

As for crashing the server all the time, thanks for the heads up, I will keep an eye on it but it seems ok so far.

Fixed that little error now.

Thanks for the heads up.

If anyone else comes across an error in using the site please let me know via this thread.

Thanks

Wow, very interesting concept Tim, congratulation on your bookmarking site.

I wanted to build my own bookmark site from ages ago but not have the time yet.

Thanks.

I've had this idea in mind for a while, but have only just now got round to doing anything about it!!

Hope other people find it worthwhile enough to join in as well.

I've noticed quite a few people have signed up but not verified their email.

I'm working on adding a link to resend you email verification, but in the meantime if you don't get one then post here with your username and I will resend it.

Thanks
Tim

Wow, this is cool. Definitely worth checking out.

Thank you Tim.

Tim,

Will it work, or is it intended for posts from the old forum? I've got a few gems in my bookmarks I'd like to add.

Hi Steve,

This is intended for posts in the new forum, although I will allow posts from the old forum if you are able to bookmark them.
