Post by Megatron »

the private message text; have it say no messages instead of text that looks almost exactly the same as the the text that lets you know if you have a message. Or perhaps have the messages icon light up like BING

perhaps a script to stop more than 3 quotes in a post.

being able to ignore posters

Sounds good to me but the quote limiting will destroy the likes of debate discussions. Maybe have it only affect the wasteland.

All interesting ideas. I think we're limited in what we can do in phpbb, but DU will be able to say more, and maybe able to make some custom scripts that will allow this stuff.

Oh, irony. How I've missed your soothing touch.

Seriously, bad idea. Everyone should be able to see every post. Otherwise we'd have people talking about what so-and-so said and other people would be all, "What? He never said that", and then it would be all, "Stop ignoring me you bastard" and we'd all kill ourselves in frustration.

How is that ironic? It would be ironic if this feature was implemented then everyone ignored me. You fucking idiot.

I'm thinking more along the lines of ignoring people who don't say anything at all to add to discussion and just keep writing shit :drunk: ;)

Nah, that's not really a good idea, a lot of times more then three quotes if ok. Sometimes you just need to answer to three different people as well.

And why ignore people when we can ban them? *wink

Something to increase the visibility of inbox status would be appreciated, in my opinion. As it stands, it blends in too well with every colour scheme I have employed.

Quote limitations would do more harm than good, as it would impinge upon normal, healthy banter and debate. There are other measures already in place that can deal with abuse of this . . liberty.

As has been stated, ignoring a user/users would be more damaging to the flow of discussion than the injury wrought by the sometimes dubious contributions to our illustrious forum. Must we forget that we are all capable of and guilty of spewing forth irrelevant bollocks on occasion ? Can you not choose to ignore someone without the assistance of software ? The implications should be self evident. :drunk:

Done easily enough in the template. You want a bright red flashing sign?

Pretty sure this is in phpBB 3.0 which we'll upgrade to once it's released and once I've re-coded everything to work with it (IE: Not anytime soon).

Yeah. Perhaps if you didn't have shitty ad pop-ups I could enable the pop-up that lets me know if I have a private message lol. Stop being so immature DU :rolleyes:

We don't have pop-ups anymore. All we have now is The Flash Bannerâ„¢. So enable away!
