Subject: Website wish list for 2007... new year resolutions
Written By: ChuckyG on 12/26/06 at 2:13 pm
so if you didn't get what you wanted for Christmas, I can at least try to give you what you want next year for the messageboard
so, what do people want on inth00s?
getting paid to use the site is out of the question >grin<
I think my game plan for the upcoming year, is to completely revamp the other decade sites (inthe70s, inthe80s, and inthe90s). I'm hoping to incorporate more of the inthe00s into those sites (like maybe feature a running list of new topics on the homepage of the respective decades). I also hope to get the existing sections back into shape, with picture uploads for sections that need it (clothing, toys, etc). I think the sites have been a bit neglected the past couple years while I worked on amIright and amIwrong.

While I'd love to, that'll never happen. I used to do it for inthe80s a long time ago, but it was a lot of work, with very little to show for it at the end of the day. This was long before spam was near the levels it's at now. I can't even imagine what it would be like if I did it now, probably crash the server.

yes we must bring more sycophantic inthe00s loveslaves under our control if we are ever to drain their bodily essence in order to gain greater power and attain world domination.
i mean, yes, we should think of ways to promote the site.

I would like to be able to click on the number of replies to a thread and then have a box pop-up telling me who posted in that thread and how many posts they have in it.
I would also like the signatures to be a little bigger, character-wise. I have found some really nice quotes over the last almost year that I haven't been able to use since the character limit is 300.

Hmmm, only thing that comes to mind right now is, would it be possible to have the same "Jump To Page" feature on the decade boards (as well as the other sections) as there is in individual threads.
For instance, say I wanted to go to page 100 of the '80s section. I'd have to click on page 3, which would let me click on 5 etc.
Especially since the Search was messing up the server, I think that would make an easier way to find old threads.

My own suggestion would be....
Perhaps a broader range of avatars?
Or perhaps, for those of us who lack higher technology or knowledge thereof, links to more things to use as avatars?
Mayhaps even a custom-made avatar search engine, or something along those lines.

While the software has the ability to let people do it, I've been resisting that one because it means I have to make changes to more than just the regular template everytime I add a new function or change something. It's really a matter of time, I don't think I could keep the software up to date well enough if I had to maintain three or four different looks for the site.

I don't want to add more avatars to the defaults. I think the better idea is to write up a better tutorial for how people can either upload their own or link to one (better to save one to your hard drive and then upload it, links to pictures have a strange way of disappearing).

I agree. But not just for each of the sections but for the arcade and for those of us who keep our PMs, for those too.
Also a better "Search" would be nice, too. The old "Search" was great. Anyway of putting that back in, Chucky?

you shouldn't be keeping enough PMs to need a page function... grrr....
anyways, the search... awww... I don't know. There is a newer search function that is supposed to kick the ever loving shiznit out of the old one, but I couldn't get it installed all the way. I think I need to upgrade the server software first. It's definitely something I want to bring back.

if your friends are total losers, they could get you booted by posting something pornographic though, so it's clearly something you could only give to a couple people, and trust they don't give out the password, etc.

what if i updated my profile periodically, with the avatar pointed to that url, and just sorta said if you wanna change my avatar you have to use the full url -- like, call the file "index.jpg" or something like that. that way i wouldn't have to give out my password. i dunno, by the time i'm doing that, though, i guess i could just have folks send me pictures and i could decide whether i wanted to use them or not. which is what we have now.

I would like to see editors, instead of locking threads, use more discretion and just delete offending posts. It seems that locking the thread has become the tool of choice.
That's still a better option than what we did in the past, which was to just delete the entire thread, regardless of how large or small it was.
When you get a thread with 200 posts that all need to get culled due to a couple of jerks in a 24 hour spree having fun, it tends to become rather tedious trying to sort out where to start, and how much to remove, etc.
Instead of complaining that threads get locked after people don't report anything for days on end, perhaps the users could be a little more proactive in notifying the moderators with either the report tool or a PM? Then the mess wouldn't be as hard to clean.

Was the locking of threads by the originator a recent update? ??? Every board I've frequented only gives mods/admin that power.
I'm not sure that is intentional. Is that currently an option? If it's causing problems, I'll turn it off

Heres one that some boards have.....an IGNORE feature. That way the person who is being picked on, or who gets upset with stuff can click a simple button and not be able to read what that specific person wrote.
Check your profile, should work. If it doesn't, I can try and install it again the next time I upgrade the software

Yeah, it is. If you have a certain box checked in your profile options (can't remember which one it is), when you see a thread you've posted on the boards somewhere, you'll see a padlock next to it and you click on that to lock it.

Have you given any thought to my suggestion of being able to click on the number of replies to a thread and seeing who has posted in it and how many posts they have in it? If that's not something available on this software, it's no biggie. I just thought it might be cool to see who's posted the most in the LTE. ;D

I think it's interesting, but nothing is pre-existing for it, which means it would be potentially a lot of work for me to code up.

I know, but they wouldn't stay for many years on the 1st page. After a few days, they usually end up on page 3 or 4, unless someone has a belated greeting or something.

If you have Firefox or a news reader, it will allow you to add inthe00s to your news feeds. It will then display the most recent topics posted to inthe00s.
If you don't use something like that, you can just ignore it.
