The pm notification system seems to perform misserably. Some people get notified days later!! :frusty

Fri Nov 14, 2003 9:08 am

nono, ett, I found out that was my own fault. I use AvantBrowser and even tho the PM notifications are coming from MC, the popup blocker was still preventing them from ever showing up. I think the PM system itself is working alright tho :wink

Gondee, you need to get a drooling smiley!

I hate to say this but maybe have a report system? I've noticed a few people (I'm not mentioning names cause I'm either too nice or cause you all know who they are) have been spamming and/or making short spammy posts. I don't know about the rest of you but I get somewhat disturbed whenever I see a post like that and it would be awesome if mod.s would just delete them or something. I dunno...

I have an idea: When u have a topic posted the new posts on forums should turn red when ur topic has received a message!

Sat Nov 22, 2003 7:51 pm

Has anybody else noticed that the time on here needs to be turned back an hour. Hasn't anybody here heard of daylight savings time... HUH? HAVE THEY????

FLASH SIGS FLASH SIGS FLASH SIGS FLASH SIGS.

You guys, i can do wonders with flash. I'm a fuckin' flash wizard.

I can do some flash shit for this site to make it really nifty, but having Flash Sigs would just plain kick ass.

I noticed there's almost 100 members who signed up before December and still haven't posted once (92 actually). Maybe we could have an inactive member flush - send emails to all those inactive members and deleting any that don't respond? No real reason, just to tidy up the member list. I'd prefer a board of 300 active members than one with 25% of its members completely inactive.

I'm thinking you should have a spell check on the site...
Is that possible? Cause certain people... (coff coff Solid Filip) have no idea how to spell and it's hard to understand them.
(I realize that your european Solid Fil but i think you could use one...)

SO anyway... Spell Checker... ya

I can check into that, it's possible. I would say less than 25% of our members post "actively" meaning once every 2 or 3 days at a minimum. Most signed up when they first had the game and then promptly forgot I think. I'm not terribly worried about who posts the most or who is most active. You can always run searches based on number of posts if you want to see who is the most active.

As far as a spell checker for the site, well, this is open source software, which means it's good, but may not have a spellchecker. I believe I saw a spell checker mod that used an outside website to provide it - meaning it would be unreliable and we could have no warning if it went down. I'll check into it though.

Mon Dec 15, 2003 7:29 pm

Yes, and apart from that a spell-checker would have to be pretty good to not be ultra-annoying, marking many correct words as mistakes.

Well at this point i think something is better than nothing...

I have another proposition for you Gondee... I've noticed a lot of spam type topics and flame wars starting etc.
I think there should be a thing where we can mark things for moderation

AKA Meta-Mod à la Gamefaqs

I think this would be useful

Wait Does This Forum use VB?

Sat Jan 03, 2004 7:15 pm

a board for non-ssx related stuffs would be nice. i know the general discussion area is the unofficial place for it, but it does say that section is FOR ssx...

did that make any sense?

Wed Jan 07, 2004 9:33 am

Hi Gondee... any chance of a sticky for the Photo Gallery?

(Still waiting for your headshot btw

)

Sat Jan 17, 2004 2:00 pm

Do all of it! NOW! Great ideas!

Tue Jan 27, 2004 12:20 am

Any chance of a random message saying "follow the white rabbit" showing up every now and then while you are viewing different posts?
:heh

It would be especially cool if it would provide a link to the land of ghandi and giantmort.... :heh

Tue Jan 27, 2004 2:39 am

Have the topic title present while typing in a reply or "quoted reply".

..maybe after the forum shortcuts, above the "Post a Reply":

The Gravitude Bar Forum Index -> General Discussion -> ..........

Done!

1. Custom Titles for Posters, separate from post "rank".

Done!

What, like this one? Upcoming whenever you guys pick "smilies" as the next board option.

I hate to say this but maybe have a report system?

Upcoming. I think this is necessary, but if it is abused I will remove it. How does that sound?

FLASH SIGS FLASH SIGS FLASH SIGS FLASH SIGS.

You guys, i can do wonders with flash. I'm a fuckin' flash wizard.

Upcoming the next night or two, I believe.

I'm thinking you should have a spell check on the site...

Am working on it now...it's not great, but it's better than nothing I agree.

Gondee= Message board enhancer to the Gentry.

Good work indeed!

(*cough**cough* Photo Gallery)

Fri Jan 30, 2004 6:19 am

Gondee, I have a few suggestions.

1) We should be able to load pictures for our avator and sig from our computer. That way, I don't have to use 250free or anything else.

2) For our private messages, I want the little box that says "You have a private message" to pop up, but I don't want to get sent an e-mail that says I got a private message here. Whenever I use PM alot, it clutters my e-mail.

Hope these go into the next Gravitude Improvment Thread. :cheers

point 1.) would take up a CRAPLOAD of space...

point 2.) you can change in your profile preferences.

Direct linking to your hardrive defies gravity and space time relativity... didn't you know?
