sounds like phobs thought of better stuff than I can think
of anyway.

A way to view a text only version would be useful to me.

And I don't like it that so much of the top of the page is
filled with stickies and links that I never use, maybe they
some things can go in the margins or something

dirtypriest: * A little area that sums up the music
artists that post on the board, with a pic, short
description and a link,
something simple like that.


seems like you're talking about the member artists
section
of the site, which will include, but not limited
to: 100 mb storage for track hosting, a blog for news
updates & whatever, a small bio/discog (presentation),
etc...

Rad.

I can't really think of anything that hasn't been said
already, the only feature I've really lusted after would be
private messages. There was an argument a while back that it
would take activity away from the board, but it wouldn't,
because everybody wants as many people as possible to read
their yammering anyway.

em411 has this neat feature where you can flag a post if its
too trollish or irrelivant. What then happens is if it gets
a couple, it gets hidden, and you have to click on a link to
view it.

There is something that already crossed my mind a few weeks
ago when I searched for some webspace so I can host some
stuff..

What if premium members can buy some webspace at xltronic?
If you ask the right amount of money it'll help you to
maintain the site financially... If possible with
datatraffic/webstorage etc of course.

If it seems succesfull you even might start a seperate
service in webhosting which might pay off ;)

woah, xltronic v2 sounds pretty amazing! phobia, you're
doing a hell of a job actually updating the site with
WORTWHILE content! a lot of people just revamp their sites
with either the same content or a clumsier design, as a
token action more than anything else.

this is the shit!

post disappear :(

Points: 10507 Status: Webmaster | Show recordbag



this is actually what xltronic should have been like,
years ago ;-)


but something good actually came out of this "tiny
delayment"... we're now able to code everything from
scratch, using new technologies, which would might have been
cumbersome to implement into an existing "larger" site.

both tunemx and I have some hectic weeks in front of us, and
we have both other projects and real-life issues, to take
care of.... but we're both very eager to get xltv2 up and
running finally. now, let's hope we wont run into any
erratas.... which put things into a bitter end. ;)

how about a monthly "Ask Phobiazero" where members can mail
in questions about releases, artists, sex and good food?

How about a bit of CSS so that threads you've read are a
different shade to those you haven't. When someone posts
after you then it's marked as unread again.

Does that make sense?

giginger: would require some additional db queries. the plan
is to optimize/recode the mb further (yeah, it's possible to
make it even faster).... then check out what margins we have
performance-wise and start adding new (exciting but
non-critical) features.

please, give us more suggestions... we have a wiki full of
improvements and TODOs which we're constantly updating and
also implementing to xltv2...... keep it coming!!!

I think most of the best ideas have been said already, but
I'd like to second a few of them:

I like scup_bucket's suggestion of making a back button
straight to the index from a profile. But I suspect that the
format of v2 will be different entirely so this point may be
moot.

The expanded profile section is also a good idea.

The 'PM' or private message idea is good too.

The only one I don't agree with is the post-editing
ability. The 30 second thing is a reasonable compromise,
yet that seems like it'd be tough to implement.. but maybe
not. I have very limited experience in web design.

A few additional suggestions:

The new search is fantastic, but could you add an
advanced search function where in your query you could have
several fields with varying domains, such as
browsing/searching by member name, thread title, date, etc.?
Also, an incorporation of " " for exact phrases, or some
equivalent.

That's really all I can think of, other than that this is
the best board on the net. I love the reasonable moderators
who for once aren't on a powertrip and all too ready to
consor stuff just because it violates some arbitrary rule.
I thought about suggesting an ability for lots of cheesy,
flashy siggies and blends and animations and emoticons but
then I realized that not everyone on this board has arrested
development and the clean layout might be better after all.
:) cheers, looking forward to the new version!

Cool.

I made a suggestion somewhere else not that long ago. I'll
have to search it out because I can't remember what it was..

Found it:

Like we have the "Discuss this release". Could we possibly
have the "Discuss this torrent/download" in the tracker?

That new search engine works a treat.

Points: 6851 Status: Regular



damn. i can't think of anything except the private message,
perhaps in a form of a small chat window (like chat in
gmail).

but people can communicate privately through different IMs,
so there's possibly little sence in this feature.

links to page numbers on the main mb page.

if someones read the first however many posts on a page,
they shouldnt have to open the thread and then move pages
(this is a pretty standard thing on forums)

roy: try to change your settings to: NEWEST MESSAGES FIRST

that would solve the problem for now.... I've always been
using NEWEST FIRST, so im quite used to it by now and i find
it more logical since the first message is static but the
newer ones changes all the time...

according to xltronic's mainpage:
Accepted payment methods: Paypal, International Money
Order, Bank-to-Bank transfer (ask for SWIFT-code) or regular
cash. Let me know if you have any further questions.

but then you have to scroll down and back up to read if a
thread has had more than 2 or 3 posts, and that's if you've
been following it from the get go

Straight credit card payment?

Something like VerySign or one of those bastards.
But I guess that would be expensive or something...

that wasn't a very good reply.....

correct me if i'm wrong, but I guess you can transfer money
using any major credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American
Express) via Paypal...

Well, seems like I can't.
I created that account and made the first payment.
It worked. But I'm not able to transfer money to that
account from my Visa anymore... Dunno why... I've tried to
figure that out in the Paypal site, but with no luck so
far.

I'll keep searching why...

Just thought straight payment with credit card would be
easier.

Maybe I can try the bank-to-bank transfer and see if it
works for me...

You know the prroblem of people signing up to spam, well ok,
this idea isn't going to stop it but it might help: maybe
have a perriod of say 5 days afterr signing up in which you
can't actually post messages.

I am going to second the quote feature. I think that may be
easier to follow than the actual followup.

The ability to use bullet and color in posts to make things
more organised.

The spoiler feature would be a good one. I have seen some
sort of html trickery that actually would fit the minimal
theme of this board. Then again this was quite a while ago.

More room for fav+

more character space for typing. Perhaps double it? I think
html like the lazy link and bold (etc) take up that space.

Just thought about this today: How about a little feature
with an on board xltronic v2 artist every month or every 2
weeks or so, depending on how many there will be. There
could be a little interview, and a thread about that persons
music and so on.
