Title: The Accepted and Denied feature request board
Post by: Daktyl198 on October 19, 2012, 03:40:19 PM
Now, this is more of a personal quirk, but why aren't the "accepted" feature requests and the "declined" feature requests separated?

Since it's WAYY too late to separate the boards (since that board is so full) why not start editing the name of the threads moved there to show [accepted] or [declined]?

I was wondering what kinds of features have been accepted into newer releases and I can't tell which is which :/
(Or am I just missing some other sign?)

TBH, given that 2.1 is (or should be :D) feature-locked now, you can pretty much assume that just about every request will be denied for a while.

much of the time an accepted request is given a green check or a thumbs up icon - and a declined request is given a thumbs down icon

Not sure if the current devs have been keeping up on it... but that used to be the standard

I saw one with a green check, but only one, so I wasn't sure if that was the signal or not.

Thanks for the info though :D

Well, a while ago a huge bunch of topics (you should remember Kindred) was "mass-moved" because the board was impossible to maintain (I think we are talking about some thousand/s of topics). So, in that bunch (of course) nothing has been marked as accepted or declined.
From that point on, we didn't get much requests (I'd say 100 more or less), some were support requests, some mod requests and both the categories moved accordingly. The "accepted" have been (most likely) moved to "next SMF discussion" and the rest (few integrated "on-the-fly", I think no more than a couple) to the "accepted or declined".

I don't think many of the most recent topics in the "applied or decined requests" board is marked as accepted or declined (due to the big move I was talking before), the best way to know if a feature has been accepted is to look if SMF has it. :P

that's true (about the mass move)

but there have been several other moves there since then though... not sure if those were tagged. :)
