Forum Admin-Junkies.com | Webmaster Community

I have added a Community Advice & Snippets forum - The aim is to provide practical tips and advice that you can use to create an active and engaged community. With this I hope to bring you valuable information and advice how to manage your community, enhance your community management skills. These are small articles / snippets that don't really belong in our articles add on because they're too small. I want to separate them from our regular discussions that aren't always focused on bringing knowledge but rather chit-chat. Still, I encourage them to threat like discussions where you are of course allowed to disagree with my opinions or bring your own advice. So, if you have any feedback or ideas to improve this - let me know :D

9 Months of Admin Junkies! 🎉​


I didn't realize earlier today, so I feel stupid for accidentally looking at the calendar and noticed it's the 30th of June. Which officially marks our 9 months of existence. :D

We couldn't have reached this milestone without the unwavering support and contributions of each and every member. So I want to express our heartfelt appreciation and reflect on the journey that brought us to this point.

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to every member of Admin Junkies who has played an integral role in shaping our community. Your thoughtful contributions, thought-provoking discussions, and willingness to share your expertise have been the driving force behind the success of this forum. Each post, comment, and interaction has enriched our collective knowledge and brought us closer as a community. ❤️

I take pride to know Admin Junkies has become a platform for personal and professional growth, offering valuable resources, insights, and opportunities for administrators to enhance their skills and expand their knowledge base. We extend our thanks to the experts who have graciously shared their wisdom, contributed valuable content, and participated in engaging discussions, enriching the experiences of all our members.

As we celebrate this 9-month milestone, we also look ahead to the exciting future of Admin Junkies. We remain committed to develop a further thriving community, providing a platform for administrators to connect, learn, and inspire one another. We are dedicated to continuously improving and evolving to meet the needs and aspirations of our members, ensuring that Admin Junkies remains a valuable resource and a hub of collaboration.

I want to add that we will proceed to publish quality content and provide new resources in the future.

We're delighted to share some recent improvements on the Admin Junkies forum, and we believe these updates will enhance the user experience for both our existing community members and newcomers.

Introducing the New Sidebar:

The most noticeable change is the addition of a brand new sidebar when viewing threads. This sidebar is designed to improve navigation, making it easier for users to explore the forum, engage with content, and discover discussions of interest. It's a user-friendly addition that simplifies the browsing experience.

One of the highlights of this new sidebar is the "Trending Thread" widget. This feature allows users to stay up-to-date with the most engaging and popular discussions happening on the forum. It's a great tool to quickly discover the hottest topics and join in on the conversations that matter to you.

Your opinions matter, and we're committed to making the forum even more tailored to your preferences.

New "Ignore More" Features:

In addition to the sidebar, we've introduced new features that give users more control over their forum experience. These features include:

  • "Show Ignored Content" Link: Easily reveal hidden content on the news feed and latest activity pages, allowing for a more customizable experience.
  • Choose What to Ignore: Users can now ignore or unignore threads or entire forums in the news feed, thread list, and forum list, tailoring their forum experience to their liking.
  • Account Area Insight: Users can see what they are ignoring within their account area, providing greater transparency and control.
1. Choose to ignore a specific forum:

Forumexplorers was recently merged and redirected to adminjunkies. They’re under the same ownership now, however, the owner of Forumexplorers bought out Admin Junkies.
 
Yeah I got the same thing too, asked for a password reset but I never got one. I guess when the forum is 100% ready everything will be working again.
