New Forum Feedback & Requests

Added this to the list.

 

Just curious Glenn, why would you prefer that? It was always done together in the past, so I'm interested to hear that different take on it.

 

Ah I gotcha. Well, for what it's worth, all the particular sub-forums Like General Interests topics and so forth can still be accessed via the main page, as they were on SB 1.0. But yes, it is true that the overarching category itself is not clickable to give you a breakdown of all the discussion topics under it. This might be something we can look at changing, as collecting the topics in one area shouldn't be that difficult, given the divisional setup of the board; and we could make it accessible in the manner you wished. I think access would still be through the main page though. I am just surprised you don't feel like reading the classifieds with your morning news!

 

Ha! Genuine audible laugh from that one, thanks!

I think the solution to your gentle peeve might be pretty simple, Glenn --- just make sure that you're signed out when you make your first skim of the day! BST? What BST?

 

Now if only we can a 'funnies' section, I would never need to open any other papers. Oh, the kaiju komics possibilities...

(we all know the amazing pool of talented artists are already here on the board - MS Paint included )

 

Glenn, that request is something that's actually already on my list of suggestions that I'm looking into. So far I'm learning that it's not possible with how we currently have forums and sub-forums set up, but I might be able to reorganize the board to have each "category" (Nitty Gritty, General Interests, Market Place, etc.) be a forum, with each forum within those categories set up as sub-forums. The upside of this would be that I could use an add-on to then add the functionality you're looking for, but the downside would be that the main page of the forum would be harder to navigate, as each forum would show up as small links, rather than the larger forums that you see now. I'm still looking to see if there's another way to go about it though.

 

More simpler is butter! Down with the Thousand Lynx!

It would be nice, though, if clicking on the Forum title would just open up the whole of the threads in that department, behaving as Active Topics does. Ah well.

 

The board is supposed to do that. Not sure why it wouldn't have, I just checked the options and it's set up to alert you if new messages have been posted prior to you posting yours.

 

This latest chain is making the purple part of my brain itch.

Why do we have to go to a separate screen to preview our posts, by the way?

 

Because.

 

Also look at what buttons are below the post field now.

 

Because daddy lubs us!

 

Thanks for adding in the preview button James, it certainly makes things easier. I also think I would prefer it to just see the images via that route, rather then directly when typing up the post, as, if you do include and image but want to write text after or around it, it can get somewhat cumbersome. It is definitely nice to be able to see that the image works right away, but I would rather just be able to stick to text when putting the post together, personally, and than use the preview method for adjusting things like the images.

 

Came across this tonight:


Went and found the match in the legacy bunker:


More lost history. Not just time stamps, but entire trolldoms.

 

IG quotes seems to favor girth:

Would it be possible to add embedding capabilities for audio streaming services here, as we have for video links? It would be great to be able to stay on site to check out, say, podcast recommendations or music that our fellow 'brainers have made. Soundcloud, at least, would be a good start.

 

I second the motion for time reporting, as it can be helpful to coordinate posting times for people of other time zones.

Hmm, I wouldn't sat that the audio think is necessary priority though. Links are good enough for that for redirecting to appropriate sites; I don't know that everything has to be embedded directly onto SB (are people really that lazy to not just click through? my hope is no).
