(Bigdawgfoxx)

(Rossco)

allready got new once but I cannot upload 2 the server.

Here is my list:


- enable PM system by default
- when members edit a post you will always get a 'warning' @ the end of a post
- Some members get errors when they click on: User CP
- Max size of avatar should be higher then 19,5 kb
- I dont think mods should be allowed 2 ban members.

Please change it so the sticky threads seem more separated from the normal posts. Also, a bigger avatar and signature would be nice. :)

Maybe im missing something here but....
1.The grey(ish) section around the user name is extremly wide in relation to the rest - and no it is is not stretchable - make your browser thin an watch what gets compacted

2.When at the bootom of page i have to scroll all the way up to clik the eg.Softwareworld link to get to the refreshed front page of software world.
in old fst there where;
a. Arrows on the side so it auto scrolled to the top
b.Link to the main world you came from at the bottom (eg: this should also be at bottom : File Sharing Talk > Announcements & Information > Everything related to this board
(i seem to be doing alot of scrolling or did i miss something)

3. it seems for me that Copy and Paste dont seem to work smoothly in this forum : by right cliking - paste ("paste" often is not there) yet if i Ctrl V it pastes.-I think its a Firefox Issue -No this is definetly a Problem

4. I Find it unecessary that there is a
"http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/icons/icon1.gifRe: post suggestion here" above everypost - we know who were replying too - and it causes visual Choas.
or is it me?

I highly agree with hardcore gamer and IKE, and Zedaxax(A lot of people want the link to main page of the forum your in at the bottom, and so do I.)

Sorry bout the bitching earlier..I have just been here forever, with me and my bud, and I guess I got so used to it I couldnt change...but with better organazation and icons, I think it will be great.

The new posts thing http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/image...s/firstnew.gif shows up on threads you have the last post on unless you look at it again.

Yeah but it should have all the ones with new post at the top, and the icon on the side should be a diff color then ones without new post...would make it a lot easier.

-max. images per post is far too low.

I think people should psot stuff then IKE or bigdawg add the suggestions to their posts it makes it easier to know what has already been said.


my suggestions are:

- allow more images per post (currently only 1 :( )
- make the sig character limit 600 like it was before. more would be even better.
- avatars should be 80*80 ATLEAST. 50*50 is to small.
- let {I}{K}{E} have more admin permissions as he seems to have the time to do a lot for the forum.
- make the sig image limit more than whatever it is...i know we used to have atleast 16.
- PM System, viewing of sigs and avatars, and other options enabled by default
- Flood Control set to 20 seconds as it was before. 60 seconds is way to long.

This one isn't that important but i know you'll get a lot of complaining:

- Take out the limit of atleast 7 characters in a post.

1)Add new, more appealing skins.
2)Add the arcade.
3)Enable avatars, sigs, and private messages by default.
4)Tweak, customize, and fix the rest of the stuff.

i agree with bigdawgfoxx about the symbols, they're too confusing
i suggest replacing them with tiny words to indicate wat they are

also, can u add a feature where i can find all my posts...that are grouped in topics (not grouped in posts, pls :))?
that function is very useful to me bcos that's how i check the topics i'm already in


thx,

look in your profile for the link to new threads

http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/searc...ser=gildan2020

make the avatar size fair there are people who have avatars like 100x150

THeres an avatar and theres a profile picture. You're allowed a bigger profile picture than an avatar.

Well Profile dont show where Avatar does and for some reason I cant even link to Avatars theat are beyond 50x50 so how is that some have larger and do you intend to keep it at 50x50 or will it be changed perhaps...

EDIT: Also if anyone gets a chance Ide like to be RealitY again.
The all caps was rather nice to be gone thanks to Entity but now back again.

hi, another suggestion:

currently the Search drop-down on the menubar contains textbox for word searches only. can u expand the drop-down to include searching user posts as well?

i know i can click on Advanced Search to do that, but i feel it would be much easier if u put that outside as well


thx,
gildan2020

avatars are 80x80 and 20Kb. They always have been and I really don't want to increase it since 20Kb bloats the page load times when 10+ people are using 20kb on every page. THEN theres the sigs too.

then just cut all avatars

Hello!

Why do some people have the privilege of having a larger Avatar? J'Pol for instance or Storm?. It would be better if we all could have that size on our avatars it simply looks beeter in the forum layout and gives the members a larger choice in selecting pictures!.

The load time is not affected that much by larger avatars. I doubt that most people are still using dial up on sites about P2P like this!. Especially not for people using IE that uses the almost secret Content.IE5 folder with the dreaded Index.dat file folder that cannot be deleted by emptying the Temp Folder and stores all pictures you view on a site so that they load much faster the next time it is viewed.

Edit! Strange that the background suddenly is grey when writting new posts should it not be white??.

Seems 80 is big enough although I think it was like 120 before, maybe 100 would be a little better...

User Titles needs 2 be updated current is:
Junior Member
Member
Senior Member

Suggestion: Talk Club shouldn't be a sub-forum of lounge.



Edit: Edits to posts should be date/time stamped...
Edit: That was quick!! :D

Internetworld

On the main forum view,

Areas: Graphic Design | Web Developm

They loop back the the main index when click though and are not present as a subforum when internetworld is entered...

Hello!

Why do some members have the option to change the title under their username?

I want that Option too! All members should be able to select their own title to whatever they want except moderator,administrator or root and such. I know that on many other forums that uses the Vb script that option is found under the Edit profile in CP but it has not been enabled here yeat for some reason,

I also think that now when the maximum filesize for avatars have been increased slightly it would not hurt if the avatars could be atleast 100X100 pixels in size which is the most common limit on boards on the Internet.

I also found what seems to be a bug but not sure the profile picture(which is allowed to be 100X100 pixels) is not allowed to be any bigger then 0 bytes for some reason all of a sudden so maybe thats a bug(it does not seem to affect profile pictures that members have already uploaded but maybe it will prevent members from uploading new ones I dont know) !.

Also would it not be fun if the Who's Online function was enabled for all members?. It can be contributing to the community feeling since we can check out where members currently are on the forum and what they are currently doing such as posting new thread in Lounge,replying to thread... etc. this function is found at the bottom of the main Index in the box that have the Currently Active Users and by clicking the Currently Active users link we should(if this function was enabled) see where all the active members are doing at the moment it could be fun!. As it is today that feature is prohibited and when clicking the Currently Active Users Link I get the message that I do not have permission to access that page!.

Maybe a good time to send an e-mail to all the members, informing them of the changes

just a suggestion but have you setup your new server to automaticly backup the database? since its the lack of this feature which is the reason we are in this mess at the minute might be wise to.

I still get an error when trying to access the buddy/ignore list options through user cp

Well it is setup to back everything up daily. I did let them know I was very pissed and they will now be making sure it is fail proof.

yup I changed it this morning when i'd seen you updated my options. but I still cannot upload new smilies

The Images per posts are now set to 4. As for Member stars, I can't figure out how to do this without having to remove the member rankings.

Doesn't for me, could it be perhaps cos I have someone on the ignore list?

The black box with black text does'nt work, I tried it, it hurts people's eyes, leave the post box white and have black on a different skin :)

Can this be increase even more, fdor guides and lounge talk along with funny section pictures are posted in the bakers dozen, i think about 10-15 should be good personally.


@Krohn sig and avatars should be 100kb put together, so people should be able to have 80kb av and 20 kb sig or whattever. its what we had befor and worked very well.
