News Forum revamp coming soon!

I believe that the current forum account is tied to my email address only. If my account transfers over, can I login through Frontier OAuth and expect to be linked to this account? Or would I login via password authentication and then "tie" with the OAuth authentication from within the logged in session?

Note: My Frontier email is the same as the forum email.

If you have a forums account, you can login with your forums account. Once logged in, you can navigate to your user control panel, go to Settings -> Connected Accounts in the tree menu. Once there, you can click the "Link Accounts" button under the Login with Frontier section. From there on, you follow the auth process. Once linked, you'll be redirected to the connected accounts forum page, which denoted a completed link. There will also be the option to disassociate your account from the Frontier Accounts system.

Sounds a bit tricky, but the flow is quite simple. :)

Will the Mac forum archive survive?

I can't believe that Frontier will thank those who backed the KickStarter for the OSX version (David B was very grateful ... at the time) by eradicating all traces of that version.

Or can I?

As it stands right now, since we no longer support Mac platform for Elite Dangerous, the forum will remain in the archived forum section.

Thanks Brett, that's all that could be expected :)

Good to hear that the Mac archive will survive in the revamped forum archive.

You'll notice that Brett said : "As it stands right now" ...

In the future perhaps that continue the development on MAC will be possible if the technological evolution allows it?

:)

Brett, with the new forum, will I keep :) or lose :eek: my dear star ?

Well that wasn't cryptic at all..... ;)

Seriously though Brett, do we get to keep and improve rep? Please?

After doing some checks, and a double check... Rep does persist to XenForo. But please do note, and i cannot stress this enough, It's in the form of a post-like, which is visible to all - not to receiving user only. A like is equal to +1 rep.

Rep points translate into trophy points, which are little awards/rewards. We'll make use of that feature in due time! :)
 
Does the "reputation power" persist?
And the names for the rep levels, will they persist too?

Like in this very helpful reply you gave in the thread here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/456538-rep-in-the-forums-how-does-it-work/page3

(Which the search function never finds, even if you put in "Rep forums how does it work" in the search box ;) :D )

I think post-likes / dislikes might prove to be a bit of a pain... Wasn't the negative rep in this forum disabled because of issues with it?

Oooh rewards ! These should translate into paint jobs:

White paint job for White Knights

Bright luminescent seen-by-everybody paint for Forum Gankers

Multiple paint blobs splattered on your ship for "forum progress"

:p
