Few Problems With Loading Site

#199 posted by Wazat on 2003/10/01 13:45:02

Recently Inside3D and a few other telefragged-hosted sites have fallen prey to telefragged's neurotic compulsion to shuffle stuff around as frequently as it can affort to pay its staff to. The posting wasn't working at I3d and there were problems with loading the site at all early on.

Recently func_msgboard has been failing to load once and then will load fine on a second try, and other sites (fileplanet for one) have also shown similar problems. I don't know if those sites are actually all linked to telefragged in anyway; but if they are, they may be facing similar problems.

So metl, just wanted to let you know, in a roundabout sort of way, that there have been a few blips here as well, but it's nothing permanent. Hopefully this site won't have any real trouble.

Change To Account Page

#200 posted by metlslime on 2003/10/06 04:20:10

I've modified the account page so that, if you're logged in, the password fields will be blank. If you want to edit other info but leave your password unchanged, then leave the fields blank and your password won't change. If you want to change your password, then type the new password in both fields. I tested it a little and it seems to work. Let me know if anyone has problems.

Suggestions

#203 posted by . on 2003/10/15 06:27:20

In order of priority:

1. search
2. poll capabilities with percent's
3. ability to post images in screenshots thread only (automatically shrunk to thumbnail size and linked to image url)
3. quote archive (a'la quotes.fov120)

And

#204 posted by . on 2003/10/15 06:29:01

4. Replace Planetquake/Fileplanet

Anti-suggestions

#205 posted by R.P.G. on 2003/10/15 11:36:32

1. Searching would be nice
2. Polls are just silly.
3. Clicking links is fine.
3. (err, just following the established syntax) You already have quotes.fov120.com.
4. PlanetQuake is fine on their own, but replacing FilePlanet is a good idea.

#206 posted by . on 2003/10/15 12:04:01

Number 4, which I meant to be number 5, was mere sarcasm. I wasn't so sure about polls either, but maybe it could be useful. As far as screenshot thumbnails.. I think it's nice to get a preview of what we're about to look at.. instead of potentially wasting time with (potentially) big screenshots that (potentially) suck...

But oh well, they were just suggestions and not wishes. Except for 1.

I Thought You Left And Hated Us Phait?

#207 posted by Scampie on 2003/10/20 18:13:45

Polls are worthless and counter-productive of the 'discussion' nature of our site. If someone has something to say about the topic, they can come out and say it and express their feelings rather than choose a generic option.

Autothumbnailed screenshots is a waste of the site's bandwidth, user's bandwidth, and will also add unneeded complexity to the site's code. Wouldn't tons of thumbnails in that thread waste more of your (and everyone else's) time than clicking on a few 'shit' screens? Let's just stick with links, mmkay? But on that note, I do wish we could have proper link codes to do [a http://www.doodie.com] link to doodie! [/a] instead of just posting urls.

RPG and you're own suggestion answered point 3. Why do another archive when one already exists?

If you want to replace Planetquake/Fileplanet, I suggest you pony up the money and the time to do it yourself.

Unneeded Complexity

#208 posted by pushplay on 2003/10/20 20:21:57

Actually, php makes auto-thumbnailing images really easy.

Seems like everything in php is pretty easy or pretty hard, there isn't a lot of middle ground.

No, I Don't Hate This Place

#209 posted by . on 2003/10/20 23:42:21

I hate you though :D

Well

#210 posted by Kell on 2003/10/22 23:00:18

my suggestion would be to have links open in a new window - I get a bit miffed when I'm linked to some interesting site, like a photo archive, and I eventually surf so far that I have to reopen one or other of the sites in a new window myself. I also agree with Scampie about the link code.
Everything else is quite spiffy metl, in a func_tional sort of way.
Of course, you can never have too many smileys...

Empty This Into Your God Damn Enema Bag

I wasn't complaining, Metl's done a damn fine job here. They were merely ideas, and if anyone were in agreement (not), cool.

Although, Kell, hold down [SHIFT] and click a link.

Yeah

#212 posted by R.P.G. on 2003/10/22 23:58:57

I usually right click --> Open in new window

Update:

urls starting with "ftp://" will now become clickable just like ones that start with "http://" do.
