Source Achievement feature now open A new addition to Soul Source, the Achievement feature Intro Am sure most of you out there are aware of our 'reputation' feature, where members can 'react' to members posts, and results were/are displayed in various places on site. Well this feature is similar but just takes things that bit further. Now as well as members giving other members reputation points by 'reactions', the Achievement feature can do similar but with a wider scope/range. It can automatically clock members actions/posts and then use them as the base for working out the members new 'forum rank' rather than the previous ways of using reputation points or post totals. Make up of the Achievement feature Three main parts of the feature 'Rules'- Rules are the 'actions' that are noted. A whole range of actions can be noted and then highlighted. Basic ones like, members hitting the 5-year anniversary point, and normal day to day forum uses, but also the system as well can clock more 'soul source' oriented actions as well for our more bespoke features such as the Sales forums, Event Guide, Gallery, Freebasing and so on. 'Rank' - long-time members may remember we used to use something like this a while back, which was then based on the number of posts the member had made. Basically, it just a method of quickly shows the members current forum status now based on the rules above 'Badges' - A method to indicate both to the member and also other members, a summary and highlights of the members actual site actions. If a member hits a landmark of say 500 comments, a badge marking this point may be automatically added to the members account. It can go beyond this, 'badges' can be given to indicate 'traders', 'promoters'. 'reviewers', 'attenders' actions and so on. All which give a summary of the members use of the site which may also be useful to members when using the various features such as sales, events etc, All the above is done automatically by the system, once it's done the info generated will be displayed in various places through out the site as per below... Profile A bar at the top of the Profile page shows the rank, recent badges, reputation score and community answers total Badges Page Clicking on the recent badges box on the profile will take you to this page, where a more detailed look at ranks and the members badges displays Hover Card - Just mouse over a members avatar to see the below Forum post and member bar The rank icon is attached to the members avatar on forum posts and the rank shows in the drop down menu as per below Summary - as said the feature is now fully open, but no doubt some tweaks may be needed in the first few days/weeks to reflect the bespoke features and the way source site gets used, however it will now run automatically in the background. Questions / Feedback - as always feedback and queries are most welcome, just use the comments below

Press release out.... SPECIAL DELIVERY: THIS KIND OF LOVE (Long Version)/ l'VE GOT TO BE FREE THE LONG VERSION of club soul favourite 'This Kind Of Love' by Special Delivery is scheduled for release on Shotgun Records. The 7" single will be available from 1 October 2021. Special Delivery evolved from Act 1 who recorded for Spring Records from 1973 under the direction of group member Raeford Gerald, a prolific writer-producer. Terry Huff became lead singer in 1975 and they joined Mainstream Records where their records were credited to variations of 'Terry Huff & Special Delivery'. When Huff left, the remaining members Chester Fortune, George Parker, Veronica Martin and Reginald Ross recorded in Washington, D.C. and released three singles and a self-titled LP on independent label Shield Records with national distribution via TK Productions. Their third Shield single, issued in 1978, was an edit of 'This Kind Of Love' which, sadly, cut out the album version's spoken section by Chester Fortune and Veronica Martin. It wasn't released in the UK where the song became a minor 1985 pop hit for Phil Fearon & Galaxy. Shotgun Records and sister label One World Records are distributed by Selrec International. Further information is available from Paul Mooney and Paul Conroy. Radio plugging is handled by Steve Ripley. SHOTGUN RECORDS · Manufactured and distributed by Selrec International Ltd · 07724 051117 info@selrec.com

the highlight comment was posted too early full article is now up

@Obes flagging this topic for you

post regarding stats split of and moved to a covid topic in current affairs forum

again we are going down the road of talking more about the actual virus rather than talking about event related effects of the virus understand that it may/can be hard separating the discussion as above and that there will always be some crossover but it needs to be done, otherwise we (the team) will have no choice but to move the topic to 'current affairs' if the topic goes further down that road as requested please try and keep the discussion in this topic to covid event related discussion Can use our 'current affairs forum' if wish to talk further on covid https://www.soul-source.co.uk/forums/forum/137-current-affairs/ thanks

maybe you can help with this request ? some members have had problems in past with these some unresolved sales issues can you help?

welcome to the site before you start selling on here can you let us all know which user names you have traded on here in the past thanks

may help if you add the group/title to the title of the topic guaranteed to get more exposure by doing so
