Author | Topic: Improvements to this forum
Emma P Moderator Posts: 405 From:Suffolk, England Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 08-15-2001 10:05 AM It has been brought to my attention that some of you believe that this forum could perhaps be improved in some way. As an example, at the moment you can check a box that will send you an email notification when some one replies to your post. Well I have had a suggestion that it would be a good idea to also be notified if some one posts a reply on one of the threads that you have replied to. Only if you check the box ofcourse, or else your mail box would get too full. It would be helpfull because if you had replied to some ones post then it would be handy to know when they replied back to you. I will propose this to one of the Admins, but I think that it would help if we had everyones opinion on this. So if you can think of any other way of improving this forum then post it here and we'll see what happens. ------------------ http://www.angelfire.com/d20/emmastrle IP: Logged

dhama Member Posts: 767 From:Tibet Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 08-15-2001 10:27 AM It would be nice if everybody would only post their sig once in every thread instead of everytime they post an answer. This would lead to faster loading of threads and of course make them easier to read. IP: Logged

inchdix Member Posts: 809 From:hornchurch, essex. england. Registered: Dec 1999 | posted 08-15-2001 12:52 PM To be honest, Emma, I personaly do not use the E-mail option..... its much simpler to just look here for any replies and keep my mail free from "junk". It is however about time that the size of a person sig had a limit, same as the TR SERIES forum, because I for one am fed up with having to scroll though half a page or adverts just to read a reply. A simple link or banner will do , no??? IP: Logged
trguru Member Posts: 129 From:ENGLAND. AND PROUD Registered: Jun 2001 | posted 08-15-2001 01:09 PM i would like to know how many people are in the forums at the time. maybe a counter of some kind i hate being in the forums when nobody is there it gets boring cause no-one replys. IP: Logged
Emma P Moderator Posts: 405 From:Suffolk, England Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 08-15-2001 01:14 PM Yeah, I totally agree with you, both about the sigs and about a counter of some sort. I think there should be a limit to the size of the sig/banner, and also that it should be only put on your first post of any topic. If I get enough posts on this then I will include it in my letter to Eidos. IP: Logged

Wee Bald Man Moderator Posts: 184 From:Left Luggage Locker #8, Heathrow Airport, London Registered: May 2001 | posted 08-16-2001 08:18 AM I'd like to see a permanent announcement link at the top of the page which included the answers to the forum's most frequently asked questions. As we all know, a lot of questions posted have already been answered in the manual or in previous posts. If we had a FAQ we could have a more focused forum which had less questions repeating (and less time spent answering them). I have provided a few examples of frequently asked questions, please add any other questions which you'd like to see the FAQ answer: ------------ HOW DO I CREATE.. Water Fog Steam etc ------------ HOW DO I TRIGGER.. Doors to open Doors to shut Camera to show door opening etc ------------ OCBs How do I get spikes to come up from the floor (mine are coming out of the ceiling)? etc ------------ AUDIO How do I add soundtracks to my level? etc ------------ [This message has been edited by Wee Bald Man (edited 08-17-2001).] IP: Logged

GeckoKid Member Posts: 365 From:Hong Kong Registered: Jul 2001 | posted 08-16-2001 08:39 AM I think we should add a 'last reply by' thing like many dis. board has, instead of number of replies.... You don't expect somebody remembers a number better than a person do you?! ------------------ GeckoKid Interactive IP: Logged
Colin Grigson Member Posts: 776 From:LONDON, ENGLAND Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 08-16-2001 12:31 PM And if ppl are going to post big sigs on every post, could they at least make sure they work...lol Col. IP: Logged
tommy tomb raider Member Posts: 330 From:Kalamazoo, Mi. U.S.A Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 08-16-2001 05:28 PM I agree Colin, And though mine isn't big, I assume it works since no-one ever said it didn't. I especially like the idea of "last reply by" idea. Finally, I like the recent 'cleaning house' of "nonsensicle and useless threads, how many toes does everyone have, etc... See my stuff at...

Driber_IF Member Posts: 823 From:Den Haag, The Netherlands Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 08-20-2001 09:02 AM ---improvement suggestions--- seeing as when everyone makes a new site, they ask for links to other TRLE sites, how about a section in the FAQ (or any other page) that contain the links from ALL TRLE sites GM or one of the mods could make a post asking for everyone's link and after a couple of weeks place the entire list on the forum another suggestion: How about we make it a RULE that people should delete their OWN "test posts" for example, when someone tests a new sig and is done, they should delete the entire post, because it will only clutter up the forum with useless things I always delete my test posts myself and I think it's a good idea others should too but DO give them time to delete it, don't go nagging after 30 minutes or something I hope these ideas are of any value btw Emma, nice sig [This message has been edited by Driber_IF (edited 08-21-2001).] IP: Logged
