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.

I haven't stumbled across a way to edit my original posts in the new setup - no Edit button anywhere. There is an Edit button on my replies, but not on original posts.
I also agree about duplicating the navigation bar at the bottom.
I'd also make Advanced Mode the default for replies. Seems pointless to have two modes, but there's something I'm probably not taking into account.

The Edit shows on your post only-- right after it is posted-- maybe it disappears when it's not possible to edit anymore?

In the upper right of the original post are three buttons. The first one is "Tools" Go Tools | Edit Post and you are good-to-go.
We are now officially off topic. -=sigh=-
Suggestions only please.

Liquidguru, go to Advanced Mode, then to the Options tab and select Plain Text Mode. It will properly format then. If you dont want to do that, use HTML in your posts, with br tags etc.

As one of the moderators on this site, I think it might be important for others to see who they can talk to about moderation issues etc. I see that Stardockians have a sort of 'banner' on their posts showing that they work for Stardock, and I would like to have something similar for WinCustomize administrators, wizops and moderators. Perhaps something like the Stardockian one, but with a WinC lizard or something similar?
Anyone else have thoughts on that?

The monkey-lizard would be a good idea

Yes good idea.
The moderators are shown, though, at the bottom of the forums page...in bold.

But it would be good if they were identified in a post they reply to.

well maybe that's because you don't want someone else to edit your post and write something nasty as your post. Makes sense to me. It would be very easy to write some rubbish under someone else's post.

Change the "error" page when you try to edit a post that has posts after it.
Or
Do not show the edit button for posts you cannot edit

Add "Home" to the Channel section in the upper left corner of the page. All the other navigation is there.
Or
Remove the Channel section

Yes, it would be nice if at the end of the comments you could return to the forum instead of scrolling back to the top and clicking.
Example of a Board Wizop post highlight.

Change the cursor on mouseover avatar image from link indicator to normal cursor (unless there is functionality that should be occuring).

It would probably be neat if it popped up the same thing as clicking on the poster's username. Perhaps thats what its supposed to do? *shrug*
