Bugs, complaints, and postive vibes thread

So this is the place to make your comments and suggestions about what need to fix on the board. I will ask Matt (Hybrid's tech warlord) to read this thread so he know what is going on. Matt is not a toy geek or a collector of oddities so please treat him like a civilian. Constructive criticisms is what we are looking for so keep you bad attitudes to yourself of Matt might just go feudal on your account.

I will start:

1. Links should open in a new browser or tab
2. More skins or themes should be added
3. More smilies are needed
4. Bigger mailboxes


Now you go....

 

Re: Bugs, complaints and postive vibes thread

We need a puking smiley... or would it be a pukey?

Long overdue board improvement...

 

Re: Bugs, complaints and postive vibes thread

Matt, congrats on moving the board to PHPBB 3.0 and not resetting everyone to zero post counts or losing PMs.

Miscellaneous stuff:
Seemingly no auto-delete for inbox so you have to clear out space before message is viewable. Is there a way to have messages appear in the inbox and auto delete old messages to make room?

No way to select a 10 messages at once and move them (gotta click click click each one)
or am I missing something?

edit: cause magic gnomes are fixing things...

 

Re: Bugs, complaints and postive vibes thread

automatically empty inbox instead of manually doing it. I'm a lazy bastard.

 

if you're typing a reply and someone's already replied to the topic, it asks you if you want to review your post before submitting. Is that necessary?

 

Weird, it should be changed now.

1. I think the banner is TOO BIG.

Otherwise, looks like everything is slowly being fixed.

 

Lol! You were the one messing with my reply.
I was like WTF is going on.
And I agree with you.

 

can we automatically delete users?

 

Re: Bugs, complaints and postive vibes thread

make it look and work like the old one with bigger mailboxes - old one was pretty perfect.

NO NEED FOR MORE ...leave this fun to kr.

 

Yeah, is there an add-on to PHPBB so we can delete users?
That would be most helpful.

 

Re: Bugs, complaints and postive vibes thread

True. Or find a way to hide all that emoticon crap...

 

Could we get the new post icons changed to these?

 

Re: Bugs, complaints and postive vibes thread

YES! I really loved the old one.

 

#1 -- How about when you click on a a thread that you've been reading it takes you to your first unread post in the thread? That would be great.

#2 -- And in order to view the Sale forum:

#3 -- Oh, and if the font colors over there -->> when you're typing a reply could be hidden in a drop down or something...maybe the Smilies too. (A little more "incognito".)

 

How about a feature that automatically PM's me when the hot new stuff is gonna drop!

 

Personally, I'd like it to be more phone friendly. The layout from earlier was using percentage widths which is nice when you are browsing from something other than a computer. Granted device specific style sheets are not exactly a blast.

Also, can we make the quotes slightly darker than the background of the post?

 

Already does that, as did the old board.

 

Boo on this.
Got this message while replying to a PM.

 

Not for me it doesn't. Is it a feature you have to click on in your profile? If so can you direct me to it...I looked and couldn't find it.

 

Good vibes so far.

 

I've always had problems posting pics from my computer. Actually have no clue on how to do it. Perhaps a tutorial for less tech savvy people like myself.

 

I hope I'm not overlooking an already-existing feature, but it seems that marking forums "read" doesn't affect what you see when you click "View new posts." I'd appreciate being able to read unread posts. At present, I don't see a way to isolate them. "View new posts" yields a lot of already-read posts.

Thanks for your help Matt.

 

Good vibes here too...I like that you've managed to recapture the feel of the old board with the modern conveniences of the new.

Very smooth transition, and far less stressful than Papa Brian's mandatory time out!

I know that a lot of people don't enjoy emoticons, but a wider selection could convey a bit more of the meaning behind people's words and possibly avoid hurt feelings for the thinner skinned...


I like this board a lot and am very glad that you (S7) are dedicated to it. Also, if pandering and ass-kissing will get me a break on pricing, I'd ramp it up a bit!

Hey there. To do this you need to have them hosted at another site, then use the "Img" tags. Both Flickr and Photobucket host photos for free. If you want to pay for increased options, Flickr is the superior site. There are others as well.

To use the Img tags, copy your hosted photo's location (URL,) then paste into your post. Highlight the entire URL and click the "Img" tag option. That's the simplest way. There are others but I'll leave it at that for now.

You can't upload photos directly to Skullbrain from your computer, with the exception of an avatar photo within Skullbrain's limits.

 

if you're going to take one of my forums away don't make it Gargamel, leaving me with just American Idols is a cruel and inhumane thing to do
