Suggestions for new forums
It's great.better, what else do we need?
Wednesday, July 19, 2006 by ZubaZ | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues
It's not sanctioned by Wincustomize nor is it on their list of things to do. But maybe we'll have some good suggestions that they will implement.
I'll start:
It would be nice if the navigation at the top of each forum was duplicated at the bottom.
It would be nice to have the current time near where the last reply time is displayed.

| I'm wondering if the whole site is going to use this 'theme' soon... |
In another thread Brad said the next version of WC will be skinnable itself.

Overall, I think we need to do a LOT more so that skinners, moderators, and other key people in the community get more kudos on the site.
The new forums were designed with speed in mind first and then we can start addign in other goodies.

| I have another question about the timestamp issue (I know it's beating a dead horse) but would it be possible to allow the users to select their time zone so the timestamp will be correct for each user, or would that be too much modding? |
Keep crusading for this and it might get implemented. The more people cry out for these kinds of features, the more likely it is that it'll get implemented.
| dd/mm/yy is my preference of date formats. I would like to be able to customize this to my liking, but I'm not sure how much the coders want to make forum-specific personalizations. |
You'll all notice that we switched to a less basic time format for the posts. Shouldnt be any more confusion.
| "so duplicate issue threads are created." are NOT created, you mean? |
Yes, exactly.
| I'm confused about something, when it shows the poster information on the forums page, is it supposed to be the original author of the thread or the author of the most recent post? For me it seems like it's showing the original author, wouldn't it make more sense to show the most recent poster or is it just updating a little slowly? |
If the heading says 'Last Post Info' then its the author of the last post.
If the heading says 'Last Reply Info' then it's the author of the last reply.

Should the brackets be around the title though? | (Mr. Big Stuff) andrew_ |

Count me in. It was really a giggle when there were NO posts 'today' for me...when it was 2 in the afternoon...
If it weren't for my using a label.dll in Litestep that shows me my time AND SD time I'd be completely lost...instead of only mislaid...

| What we really need on every post is a link to 'recent posts'. I use 'recent posts' all the time but it's a load of clicks to get to it. |
It is, look at the bottom of the page.

Now all we need is the time format and time zone thing so I can actually decipher when a post was made. *cry cry*
Keep 'em coming!
Edit: Is anyone else using FF 1.5.0.4 having problems going directly to an unread post or a recently made comment after posting one? I assume it's supposed to do that, seemed to work on IE but FF just won't do it, I keep having to press the "End" button to get to the new posts.

I have similar problems, I think Bebi... havent specifically looked for it. I'm gonna go check!

My FF just updated but still having the same issue. It's annoying but at least the End button gets me to the bottom fast.
How odd, when using the IETab feature in FF, it takes me to the recent post without a hitch. 
Same for editing/posting comments.

This text should appear in Impact size 3 - testing FF 1.5.0.5 in standard post mode.[/size]

I'd like to see the "Active Members" list shown on the Main Forum page at the bottom of the "Most Recent Posts" page since that's where I spend most of my time.
