Suggestions for new forums
It's great.better, what else do we need?
Wednesday, July 19, 2006 by ZubaZ | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues
I don't want this to be a break/fix thread.
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.

Oi, I hate double posting (even if it's a week apart) but I just ran into something and had to mention it.
Suggestion: Report button because of crap like this: WWW Link
(was some idiot posting a warez link to cursorxp pro).
Have the Report link somewhere next to the Reply • Quote stuff and when clicked on, it will send the report to mod/admin email. Trying to track down an admin/mod email (I don't even know where they are
) and then decide which mod is most appopriate to email is a hassle in my opinion. This would be a lot easier.
Don't mind all my suggestions (sure you're annoyed by now), it's just that I always think of stuff like this and have nothing better to do. How sad.

On a similar note to Bebi's last post... With the Forum Moderators being listed in each section, and since the names of moderators have been removed when you're viewing a thread, perhaps an entry in the Tools menu to 'Report to Moderators' which emails the mods of that forum would be a good addition.

Way to bump an old thread.
Anyway I agree, I didn't even know where the mod names got moved to. And honestly I never actually go into the individual forums to view the topics anyway, I just view them from the recent posts list.

I don't know if this is a bug, but sometimes the 'View all recent posts' is reduced to ten entries on the first page, with the second page as normal. The posts inbetween disappear into nowhere. Closing the browser usually clears this however...
I'm still getting this. Would be nice if it were fixed...

Suggestion: make the reply # a link so that if we want a direct link to a certain post (like in a thread like this that has over 100 replies) it would be easier to get to a specific reply.
Now that I think about it, would be nice for the skin comments as well. As it is now I don't think it's taking me to the new comments (like the forums do with new posts), I just have to go to the last page to find the new ones.

All good suggestions. We're starting to do things a little different in the office, which means that you may not see changes as quick as in the past, however you all may end up seeing more of your requests in each update.
At any rate, I've started both the Reply # link and the report link (which was already in the queue) down the process of getting approved and implemented.

Great idea Aaron, I'd kinda like to see how many posts we've made.
On the same note, it would be nice if the My Replies link would actually show the individual replies and not just the posts we've replied to. It's a nightmare to try to find one post in a thread with 300 replies (needle in a needle stack).

The new preview for posts in the wathclist is very cool, thanks.
What would be more useful would be to preview the last unread reply (since I already know what the post was about).

Or perhaps just an indication of whether your post was the last one (most recent) or not. Your idea is likely better though...

Since we've noted most of the suggestions which havent been implemented yet, and this post is ancient. I'm going to lock it up. I'll be starting a new post and sticky'ing it in this post's place.

1. The reply has the potential to be enormous. This takes more bandwidth to send, a longer download for the user's email client, the possibility for an enormous amount of text in the email.
2. One less page-view. Page-views are very important to a website in order to track the popularity and userbase of a website. We want to encourage page views, not provide a mechanism to prevent them.
How about a short summary of the reply? Like the first sentence or two? Then a link that says "Click here to read the rest of this entry" like on blogs. Of course omitting any images directly in the email. Just a thought.
