Ok, so what's next guys?
« on: May 25, 2009, 03:15:18 AM »
Hi guys,

You have your new forums which -- thankfully -- you didn't send Guido to my house for retribution.  You have the gallery back, you have classifieds.  You have a public calendar, private albums (like your own flickr) and you have Social Groups (like SIGs).

On my plate, I have News, Links, and everything else in the to do list, but what else is there?  What else can I add to this site that you guys want that's not already on the to-do list?

Hell, for that matter, feel free to browse through vBulletin.org's MOD collection to see if there's anything you think is missing.  If you find something, please add it to the to do list as a feature request, include the URL to the page where you found it, and I'll see what I can do.

Off limits for the moment are improvements to the mobile page (unless you find a better theme) and changes to the core code, since they would trap us into where we couldn't upgrade any more.

Otherwise, let's have fun.

Wayne

Would be cool if we could all have our choice of @amiga.org email addresses, even if everything coming in were forwarded immediately to our own isp address.

Why don't you take a break and catch your breath while nobody's whinging? ;)

Once you've had a well earned rest, I wouldn't mind seeing the comics return :)

My suggestion would be just to move the log-in element on the start page from the middle to the sides, saving the visitors some scrolling to see all recent forum topics.

Here are a few Mods that look interesting:

Video-Directory Remixed

A place for users to catalogue their youtube video collections.

I can see at least one user who would find it immensely useful to catalogue his games videos.

..........................

Article Forums

This could be a possible solution to creating an article section. Demo can be seen here

......................

And finally, I hope we don't have to use this but if doomy or his ilk plagues the site again we may just have the perfect solution in this next mod: :lol:

Miserable Users


.............................

I've submitted all three of them to the Project Manager for consideration.

You could always bring back the Wayne cam.

If it weren't a violation of federal law now, I might consider it.  I work for "the man" now, and he likes to keep me down.  :afro:

For those of you whinging over the front page format, please note the "customize this page" link on the top right hand side and make it your own.

Wayne, for God's sake, take a day off ;) In all seriousness, thanks for your ongoing hard work. It really is very much appreciated.

Is it possible to use the customise mode to remove elements from the page? I could only work out how to move them around.
Code: [Select]
10  IT\'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
20  FOR C = 1 TO 2
30     DA-NA-NAAAA-NAAAA DA-NA-NA-NA-NAAAA
40     DA-NA-NAAAA-NAAAA DA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NAAAAA
50  NEXT C
60  NA-NA-NAAAA
70  NA-NA NA-NA-NA-NA-NAAAA NAAA-NAAAAAAAAAAA
80  GOTO 10

Unfortunately the only option is to shrink them down.  Moving them around is one thing (a simple cookie to keep up with their movements).  Removing them is a whole different ball of wax.

No problem. I've moved the unwanted ones underneath the news items so they don't get in the way. Thanks again :)

Is it me or is there no RSS? I would like to add the News Forum to my phone so that I get notified on any new news items.
