Refbacks and linkbacks

[Pyritie]

Hai everyone!

I've gone through and approved all of the pending linkbacks and refbacks that have been building up ever since we installed vBSEO last year. There were over 550 pages! D:

Anyway, linkbacks and trackbacks show where other people on other sites have linked to a thread here on the hive. So when they link to us, we link back to them.

Why is this useful? Well, if you submitted a map or resource you can see where it is being linked to. With these you can see if other sites are promoting your map, suggesting your model for their project, and so on!

Not all of these links will be "good" though. If you happen to find a link/trackback to a site that promotes/hosts ripped or stolen resources, please report it! You can do this by either sending me a PM/VM or by posting in admin contact (Although they'll just forward it to me).

Update:
Apparently every time someone made a linkback to your thread that you had a "send me an email" subscription on, it would send you an email. I did not know about this, so I apologise!

Ralle has disabled any new linkbacks from sending emails, but for the time being you'll just have to delete any emails you receive. Sorry!

Yup already noticed the changes In the d3w there are more than 100 linkbacks i thinkXD
Edit:299 to be precise

 

[Paladon]

[The Panda]

[mjllonir]

Holy cow, 550 pages of tehm, and you did them all today? Wow, +rep to you just for that XD. This is great, awesome job

Really Cool, Found 2 link backs i didn't know about for my roller coaster game. Both in languages i don't understand

 

[Rui]

I was wondering where these had went. Are they available already? They're not showing up for me.

EDIT: Never mind, it seems the linkback table appears only if linkbacks exist.

 

[Devine]

Pretty cool to see what kind of a person would ever use my models.

 

[sadvisor]

I really hate this linkback thing!

Since this thing was introduced, my e-mail if full of tons of e-mails notifying me that somebody's else models were linked on some site, just because i was stupid enough to waste my time commenting that guy's model/skin/whatever.

Why should I care, really?
If they are models uploaded by me, yes, I would care, but they aren't, so I shouldn't be spammed.

I would be happy if I could just get e-mail notifications when somebody replies to the thread only.

 

[Pyritie]

That's weird. I didn't know a linkback would do that.

I'll see if I can get that fixed!

I'm at over 150 emails now hope you get this fixed soon, most of the emails got the very same text. It is though very fun to read about your own maps/tools at other forums, and what people write about them

2 of my models have multiple linkbacks to the same site D:

It is annoying but eventually they should stop.

 

[Ralle]

Oh my god.
That is so silly.
I have disabled the linkback email thing but unfortunately I did it after 500,000 links were approved = that many emails.

I am terribly sorry about this guys.

Thanks U dont have to be sad about that. If the 'spamming' is stopped now, people are happy and not angry

 

[Tau Empire]

Yeap irrating little feature isn't it? 80% of my emails is considered spam now thanks to this beauty (sarcasm), is it possible to just disable this until you actually fix this thing?

 

[Pyritie]

Well there are only 30k emails left in the queue. So 2/3 of them have been sent out now.

 

[Doron]

I like the linkbacks and all...but I was up to 200 emails haha. I'm glad ya fixed it.

 

[Pyritie]

Yep, the mail queue is empty now

I also had ur problem. I had 150 emails, and deleted the linkbacks, and it brought me to 42. next day I had more linkbacks. Im disliking them.

 

[Narrat0r]

That's surely a lot of links ;-p

 

[D1000]

Thanks for removing the email-notification.
I got tons of emails because I have links to my spells in my signature in another forum^^

 

[Grish]
