Something not working with the new board.. Complaints.. U mad ??
Type it down here.
"To do"/Maybe do list:
* Old Quotes can not be quoted
* Ignore function only works for PM's.. ??
* More/Custom smilies ??
* On Quick reply you have to hit the ">" first, no big deal, but would be better if it was on by default (Can not change in profile, resets to "Show off as custom" by itself)
* When hovering the mouse over a username, you can not see the OG username any more at the bottom of the screen. Will get annoying with people changing their name 10 times a week.
* Some sub-boards seems pretty "hidden", maybe bigger characters would make navigation easier, and maybe make The Vault as 411 main section as it's the biggest & most trafficed, 411 kinda died + new mods to update with new releases could be a idea.
* Sticky topics look like any other topic, same icons.. /// "Sticky this topic." option when making a thread doesn't seem to work.
"Topic you have posted in" icon, "Sticky topic" icon and "Normal topic" icon are all exactly the same.
* #WestCoastConnection on EFnet info to be added on top or somewhere + chan stats link.
* Make certain sections "Members only" and audio-section "More than 100 posts to view/post".
* Divide "Sports & Ent." into e.g. 1 "Basketball"-section, and 1 "Football/Soccer"-section, and keeping the "Main"-section as is.. ??
* "Last edit: Today by.. :***" only works sometimes.. ??
* Difficult for Trauma to hack the board.. :P
Add on...
From the big wishlist, striked out came true:
1. share audio links (Audio section + maybe request section...)
(only allow people to enter if they've posted over 100 posts for example, or else there's gonna be a SHITLOAD of registered members that don't even contribute to the board.)
(Jome suggestion: Have a request section as well, with same rules as above ^^. If audio section gets too big, make subsections e.g. "Outbound Music", "Westcoast music"..)
2. new layout (given)
3. faster (given)
4. sub forums (given)
5. new sections (PARTLY)
6. MORE SMILEYSSSSS
("SMiLEY CENTRAL" Smileys )
7. crazy psychadelic designs in the background that bug you out!
8. Quick reply
9. gear section
10. Before you remodel the house you should kick out some tenants.
11. invisible text (Spoiler text)
12. A section about cars. Call it "Rides" or "Whips"
13. better search engine
14. spell checker (given)
15. "Ignore user" function (Sohh.com have such a function where you can add people to your "shitlist", works pretty good ) (Works for PM's)
16. New mods in certain forums
17. More stats (given)
(IMO, this would be dope:)
Total Cumulative Posts 21,063 ( 2.76% of total forum posts )
Posts per day 43.3
Most active in Password Archive (6969 posts in this forum)
( 69% of this member's active posts )
18. My suggestion:
If you hit "show all posts of this user", you will only get 10 or 20 replies, and if you wish to see more, you'll have to hit "page 1, 2, 3, etc.."
If a user have 7454 posts, it takes FOREVER to find them all..
19. My suggestion:
Avatar limiter.
Possibility to limit avatars/sigs to a certain size, either in MB or in length/width.
I'm tired of scrolling both vertically & horizontally when browsing a thread, and I bet it's not easy on 56 K'ers as well.
Maybe a "No avatar/sig before you hit 100 posts" or something, newcomers usually seem to have the biggest avatars.
20. Possibility to view forum time in 24H instead of gay AM/PM..
21. Calendar function.. ??

sometimes when i click 'qoute' it says that the section of the baord cannot be found

Yeah, that's under "* Old Quotes can not be quoted"
Because the quote function refers to the board number, it can not find it since the board numbers changed..
E.G., The VAULT changed from:
http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?board=4
to:
http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?board=4.0
Solution: ONLY QUOTE posts that has been posted after the board upgrade.
-
when is posts gonna count for G-spot?
-
the avatar scrolling needs to be fixed :-X

No way, best feature ever !!!!
Maybe people will limit their avatars now, this system is genius..

I rather see a huge avatar than that banana head in your avatar.
-
This avatar scrolling looks retarded...For instance, like the soccer guy in Mauzip's avatar; I can only see his arm...That shit is fuckin' gay.
-
i think the sports and entertainment should be split up under the same board if possible.....i'm a lazy american and i hate having to sift through 30 "footy" posts, 20 bball posts just to get to the movie/games posts
-
^ i have been considering that.. i'mma get on the smileys in a sec :)
-
If you split all the boards, it'll get too complicated, and a lot of boards will have a lot less posts...It doesn't really matter to me though, I just think you should leave it how it is...PeACe
-
the avatar scrolling needs to be fixed :-X
damn right :P
wheres my smileys :'(
-
yeah, that avatar scrolling is kinda annoying to me too...i mean, u could consider including the feature ifor avatars that are like size 600x600, but scrollin through an average 250x250 avatar is kinda annoying IMO...like i need to scroll throught smerlus' which is really small
-
is it just me or are all the buttons red X's with a word behind it f.e. search or edit profile
-
think its just you.. can you work out where they linked to?
btw... i think -some- titles are screwed up, not sure whats up with that... i just fixed a few
and if u want quick reply always open, you can do it in your profile
-
for me their linked to "http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/Themes/dubcc/images//dutch/reply.gif" but its still a red X
-
the vault shouldnt be subtitled, it should be on the main page
I think an audio section would be real cool but we would have 2 watch out cuz the riaa could get us 4 shit if we just let anyone download, u should have lets say over 500 posts or somethin 2 be able 2 get in
-
ohhh yeah i dont mind the scrolling just tell me what size picture file u need so u dont have 2 scroll
-
for me their linked to "http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/Themes/dubcc/images//dutch/reply.gif" but its still a red X
ahh its because you changed your language!

thats exactly how its ognna work, i'mma gonna set it up soon! :)

-

Word, maybe call it "411 - The Vault" or "411 - The Vault & Album Reviews" or something.. :laugh:
-
so like this?
The Vault
Album Release Dates
Album Reviews
Swap Meet
-

and how do i change it back so the forum will work properly?
-

No fuckin' way! It's good that avatar sizes are limited. Pissed me the fuck off before when I had to scroll the board sideways as well as up & down. But I gotta say they're limited maybe a bit too much... Like Smerlus' and Jomes avatars are really small, but those too have scroll bars. Maybe something like a 200 pixel width limit would be better? That way the avatars would be reasonably sized but wouldn't be too big, as many of them were before.
-
is it just me or are the notification emails not really happening...like, when you post and tick "notify" box...
-
i'm pretty sure its working coz i'm getting failed delivery things for some people (for pm's though)
also new users wouldnt get their passes. all the mail settings are linked.
i'll stick notify on for this topic.
-
ok, just ignore me i'm lying...
-
It says I'm offline right now lol. Not really a problem, just a strange bug.
-
ok, just ignore me i'm lying...
it def works :)
-
woulda liked that "attach picture to post" feature. some boards support this feature, thought it would be helpful. maybe its too much of a hassle due to webspace and all that
-
yeah thats the main reason i've disabled attachments (the old board supported them too).
I wanna see how the bandwidth compares now we've upgraded, its supposed to improve :)
Ya'll noticing the speed.. damn its nuts! even when there are 80 people on the board it doesnt slow down. we hit 110 online yesterday, thats the most for a long time! (the record is 204 set a year ago july 30th..)
also if you look at the stats for yesterday we had an extra 3rd over normals worth of hits, we had roughly 30,000, normally its around 20,000. plus over 1000 new topics, whereas before its been hovering around 500 ish a day.
I know a lot may be due to the upgrade, but i'm happy as hell that the board doesnt slow down when its busy as it means people stick around instead of coming back later. more people posting means theres more to reply to, and keeps people here!

-
in your profile somewhere..
-
yeah thats the main reason i've disabled attachments (the old board supported them too).
did it ??? i never even noticted that!
-
well thats coz i never turned it on ;D
i think it works something like... you say "xxx meg on the server can be used to attachments" and give them a life of so many days or let newer ones kick the oldest ones off..
-
This is a moot point, but the text in the news box on the main page (that currently says "Will be a little downtime tonight as I'm going to take a backup.. 'Seer.") should really be in another color than black. You can't read it unless you paint over it. A moot point like I said, but still.

* Ignore function to work for all posts from a user.. ?
* More/Custom smilies ??
* On Quick reply you have to hit the ">" first, no big deal, but would be better if it was on by default (Can not change in profile, resets to "Show off as custom" by itself)
* When hovering the mouse over a username, you can not see the OG username any more at the bottom of the screen. Will get annoying with people changing their name 10 times a week.
* Sticky topics look almost like any other topic, almost same icons.. possible to change icons.. ?
6. MORE SMILEYSSSSS
("SMiLEY CENTRAL" Smileys )
21. Calendar function.. ??
Can any of these come true.. ??
Bug in the board:
It's not possible to move threads to a sub-section..
-
^ that bug only affects certain posts not all, i'm enquiring about it
- the quickly reply thing is an option in your profile.
- the username thing cant happen, it uses the user number everywhere for speed
- i'm gonna look into changing the icon
- i need to sort out the smileys, i have collected some already
- would the calendar be that useful? i never enabled it on the old board either! :D
-
^^my birthday is may 19th :D
-
- the quickly reply thing is an option in your profile.
Yeah, and impossible to change.
Once you hit "Change my profile" it jumps back to "Off by default".
- i'm gonna look into changing the icon
- i need to sort out the smileys, i have collected some already
Cool, there should be a smilies poll where the 10 best could/would be elected or something.. :laugh:
-
i think you fixed something but now it says i have 2249 posts when i look through all my posts but under my profile it says i have 1780 something

nevermind then

Hey Seer, is it possible to get a "Hidden content" post feature.. ??
It works like this:
1. 1st post in thread contains a picture saying "Hidden content - reply to see content of this post"
2. You reply with "Thanks" or "Niceness" or something, and you get to see the 1st post.
The idea is to expose leechers, XXX password forums got that feature.
In hookup spot, your thread might get 100 views and 5 replies, often ungrateful fucks saying "shit don't work, thanks for nothing".
Some don't even reply at all, expecting everybody else to hook them up..

That's the dumbest idea ever...What if the link doesn't work? You say "nice..." and then try to download it, and it doesn't work...Does it make your day when people thank you over an internet message board?...The Lab has been like that since day one...People posting their tracks, getting 200 views, and like 3 people leaving feedback...If I decide to thank someone, I'll do it on my own...PeACe
-
^^ It's proved to work.. on much bigger boards than this.
It cuts out the people who doesn't even plan to reply to anything + the ungrateful fucks, thereby making the links last much longer..
-
Have you ever been to the D12world Hook-up spot? That's how ours should be...Who gives a fuck if people are saying thanks, just find a good site that will let you upload tracks, and fucking post the link...Yousendit.com sucks my dick.
-
well some people gave up posting because people weren't saying thx... so :/
-
then they are little bitches^^^. if you're gonna cry over the internet because someone you dont know didn't say "thank you" you should be shot without warning
-
yeah i know..
but is a good idea to reply.. coz u'll get more of what you were interested in..
-
then they are little bitches^^^. if you're gonna cry over the internet because someone you dont know didn't say "thank you" you should be shot without warning
It's not so much about that..
If you take the time/effort to upload music and put up threads/links, you'd expect people to at least say "thx", how much time does that take, and it's about to keep leeching fucks out of it..
INSTEAD, you get 0 replies, when easily 20-50 people download the music..
But when the link expires, the replies keeps coming in: "Hey it doesn't work :grumpy:", "thanks for nothing ::)", "this is wack!" etc..
I say fuck the leechers, and let the people who show a minimum of thankfulness get the music.
Leechers are the ones who go hunting on forums for free music, and who show no sign of giving back/saying thanks, and these are probably the ones who never buy the music they like as well.
