Well, I had the seamless comments working. There is a slight bug currently that makes the comment form disappear… chasing that ghost down that is priority number one at the moment…. I am hoping to announce and promote the community later this week so it’s pretty essential to get the comments across sites working.

Okay, upvotes are now live on the main site. If you’re signed in here, you can upvote on the main site. Articles that you upvote on the main site will be added to your “Upvoted” page on the Community.

Will probably set it up to give EC writers points for upvotes on their articles too. Because, why not?

The customization possibilities are truly endless with this stuff. So dang cool.

Ok, so now I have the poster, which I will not share here yet. But all the details for the show are set. I’ve gathered them up. The next steps are making it pretty and gathering a list of recipients, which I will get to on Monday night.

Love me some Bob mon!

extrachill.com comments and extrachill.com articles are now included on user profiles and also included in the forum points count. Except it doesnt (currently) count posts with more than one author.

2 points for each comment and 5 points for each article. I’ve published over 2000 Extra Chill articles which is why I now have so many points.

I may need to adjust the rank system for the higher ranks as it seems the top point ranks are quite unachievable at this rate. 2000 extra chill articles gets me 10,000 points and I’m 1/500 of the way to the top rank. Lol.

Feel free to suggest rank ideas, i will be fine-tuning the system as we go.

Just found this band on Spotify. This song has some vibes. I like how it’s chill and soulful but also has some heavier elements of plain old rock & roll to it, in terms of the way it’s arranged. Sounds creative an inspired to me.

From Louisville, Kentucky. Three piece rock band.

I actually finished it tonight and decided to install the plugin on the live site. Now, if you log in here, you can leave a comment on Extra Chill with your Community account.

Similarly, if you’re on Extra Chill and you’re not logged in, you can log in to your Community account there.

This is likely to make the Community grow some, and create sustainable long-term growth.

Next up is getting a feed of main site comments on this website, and giving users points for their comments on the main site like they get for posts here.

If you thought this forum was cool already, you haven’t seen anything yet. The foundation is set to turn this thing into an absolute beast of a website and it’s probably going to blow up.

Thanks to the early adopters.

Hey this is super chill, thanks for sharing!

I have successfully achieved the “Single Sign On” feature on my staging site. This means that very soon, there will be a seamless login experience between extrachill.com and community.extrachill.com. No matter where you are when you log in, you can engage with everything.

I am now testing everything and setting up the upvote feature before adding it to the live site.

I’m expecting to launch this on Sunday or Monday.

I’ve gotta say, as much as I love Bonnaroo, their latest “Halfaroo” announcement is straight up moronic. It’s yet another reminder of how Live Nation ruins all the things we love.

I’m still going to Bonnaroo, but this is some serious cash-grab BS. 2 day tickets that still allow camping and marketing it as halfaroo is borderline offensive to the root of the brand.

Part of the joy of Bonnaroo is the communal experience of going through four days of triumph with 60,000 people all camping in a dusty, muddy field together.

I hate it. And it makes me even more determined to try and change something about the music industry for the better as Extra Chill continues to grow. That’s basically the idea at the root of this music forum anyway.
