Bounty System Update


Quick update on the Bounty System.

We have been implementing many of the feedback items that the community has provided as well as squashing any other bugs we find, and monitoring the system. This is all very important to do before TG really starts to promote and allow wider use of the system. The community support continues to be great. Thank you!

We are also adding some additional flexibility to the system to allow for competitive bounties that have a fixed expiration date but not a specified target other than for participants to be on the top of the leaderboard at the moment of bounty expiration.

We continue to work on other features, such as Bounty Creator ratings and etc.

Special congrats to @Tuffy64 for being the first claimed bounty during this open beta!

The bounty system is looking pretty solid so far, but more testing needs to take place.

Once we feel that the system has been reasonably tested, Twin Galaxies will begin to turn up its prize/reward efforts within the system. So please continue to push on the bounty system with bounties and claims so we can get to that milestone as quickly as possible!

    The link for my latest bounty takes me to the Wiki and not the bounty entry: https://www.twingalaxies.com/bounty/help-me-litter-gran-turismo-3-with-even-more-tracks/page/1


    Also: my SP count has not decreased so I there's nothing "banked" to pay out the claimants.

    [Edit:] The SP has been taken now.

    Found another, albeit minor, anomaly. The list of claimants gives invalid links to profiles. So Dick Moreland's link on https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/bounty-challenge/bounty-challenges/help-me-litter-gran-turismo-3-with-even-more-tracks/#gd-1851 is https://www.twingalaxies.com/dbcooper%0D%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20 %20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%0D%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%2 0%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%0D%0A%20%20%20% 20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20 and on https://www.twingalaxies.com/bounty/wage-war-in-1943-500k-or-more/page/1 Sam Tuff's link is https://www.twingalaxies.com/tuffy64%0D%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20% 20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%0D%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20 %20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%0D%0A%20%20%20%2 0%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20

    The discussion threads on the bounty system are missing most of the generic submission thread functionality (same as the scoreboard Discussion threads are missing these features).

    1) There is no Subscription option to these threads and the creator of the thread is not automatically subscribed. Therefore there are no indications given in the user control panel https://www.twingalaxies.com/usercp.php . Others cannot subscribe.

    2) There are no notifications to the bounty creator that a comment has occurred in the discussion.

    3) Tagging people is not possible - no tag option at the top.

    4) The Mention functionality does not work within these threads: neither during typing in the editor nor linking to the Mentioned individual within the displayed text. Potentially feeds into the tagging problem - presumably the mentioned individual is not notified as a result.

    I think this is a bug I've seen before. Of course @admin staff needs to fix this ASAP - but in the meanwhile try these things and see if it helps:

    1.) Try altering the bounty title a little bit, and then re-enter the number of bounty claim slots. The title change might make the system think its "new."

    2.) Try altering the Bounty Award type, and see if it lets you progress to the next screen. If it does, then go back and see if you can edit.

    Hmm... Thats all I got! Please help @admin staff !!

    I tried those suggestions and still a no go. It has the submission points and amount of slots greyed out and it doesn't change when altering the title or changing to time or amount. I'll await admin to make it better and find other stuff to do in the meanwhile.
