1. A better search engine with world-standard syntax, like, if you know who designed the cover of Draft but wanna learn about some other ж cover artwork, you gotta type +autechre +"cover art" -rutterford 2. Member aliases, so the username doesn't necessarily have to match the display name. Usernames are limited... I want it to be 20 characters long and have a period at the end. 3. User voting, so the users can vote for each other and see the most popular one. 4. Private messages, so we can contact the needed people without spamming the board. Not everyone has AIM/MSN/ICQ. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
user voting? that sounds pretty ghey. <- pardon me, woke up with a shocking cold |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Yes but that's the point, it will make people envy each other's status and will sew the deep-lurking seed of hatred, so... Sorry, I got carried away. What are your suggestions? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AIM MSN and or ICQ are quite easy to d/l? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the rest of what you say is fair enough. i dig the simplicity of this board.. personally i find watmm to be overdone.. |
||||||||
|

Remove all points (except mine) and replace it with a small text that says "Ha Ha! You havn't got any points!" |
||||||||

:] <- coughs and walks aroind the house bitching man never felt so good!@ |

I don't mind the points, and I don't really see the point of them... I like the old titles of Wizard and such better... I want to be a grand master of magic dammit!! |

some sort of identification on threads that you've already posted in so that it's easier to keep track of where you've said something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

the search engine is supposedly going to be better. I really don't care for the rest - 2 isn't needed (think before you choose), 3 is just a plain bad idea and on 4 - like korben says - how hard is to download and install icq, for example? |
||||||||
|
|

Well I made the rest up to make my message look more significant and full of thought. Actually I think that all we need is a better search engine and "Last post by:..." label on threads. Korben and qrter, it's not about ME who can't d/l ICQ, it's about those kopfheads who are lazy enough not to care. And thinking of it, I don't know your IM, qrter, but I may seriously need it someday. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tunemx put up the javachat a while back .. so maybe we'll see something like that in xlt. if its for those lazy kopfheads - what's to say they ain't too lazy to instant message on xlt? it seems like a lot of hassle to go through when good alternatives exist? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If [a kopfhead] enters XLT, a nasty uncloseable popup window with my message appears and he/she has no chance to escape. Hardcore IM! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well okay I agree it's all crap except for 1. Search engine 2. "Last post by:..." label on threads |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OKAY! agreed. |

I have 2 suggestions... 1.How about a favourites concept for usernames? (the names you nominate show up in bold) 2.Webcam support for your avatar? (yep that's right, a webcam in a pissy 60x80pixel window!) go programmers gooo!!!!!!! |
||||||||

Now let's arrange a petition to sign. Voice of the masses, y'know. Or how do you push things through to the Big People here at xltronic? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Umm, dude, the names already ARE in bold anywhere you look. |
||||||||

im not reading this thread so i dont know if anyone has mentioned it, but i'd like little numbers next to the thread title to jump directly to the page so you dont have to go to page 1 first. (many other message boards have this) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hear Thee!!! Hear Thee!!! When a favourite thread is pushed off the most recent page it should automaticaly be deleted from your favs so you dont have to trawl through thousands of pages to delete 'em.........................or...................have unlimited favourites & every thread you post in should automaticaly be listed as a fav!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not rocket science ;p |

suggestions 1. don't start a suggestions thread until you've been here longer than 4 days 2. everyone club together to get qrter a dog-eared copy of tubular bells 3. pictures of all different characters from neighbours and home & away circa 1992 scrolling all around the edge of the screen (must include bouncer) 4. all new electronic releases posted to me on day of release free of charge courtesy of xltronic because everyone likes me so much 5. anyone who mentions a*****e are permanently banned 6. note to self to stop using ebay as some kind of pseudo-feminine let's cheer myself up by buying shit of the internet type of thing 7. cornwall is 'one big family' if you know what i mean 8. no caps or sunglasses to be worn after 7pm GMT 9. stop using the word 'brit' its annoying 10. downing street |

a better search engine is definitely needed. and with 3-letter word recognition, for example if i search for zao wou-ki there is no results (even though i made a thread on it)! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but what if you search for "the", "you", "man", "etc" --- you know ppl will do it. i think it should stay with 4+ letters and ppl should just be smarter. want to find your boc thread? search by date (or rank): boards canada. it's not that hard; i've NEVER had any difficulty finding a thread with the search function. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Member aliases" imagine how fucked up the MB would look though if the size was not limited. i think therre should be a size limit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't carre about the last post thing. a simple numberr is enough. i always know if posts have been added and i don't get let down to see someone has rresponded and its the same post i rread a while back. the PM thing is good because not everryone wants to D/L messengerr etc and if it cuts out spam its good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
titsworth > tell me what to search for zao wou-ki then, dear? :p whatever - it's the ONLY search engine i know which doesn't allow 3-word letters. -_- |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also the whole points thing does not botherr me, i don't rreally carre about them. it just makes me look like a loserr |

3-letter word searches would be retarded.. everytime someone uses the search function it costs bandwidth, and 3-letter words can be very common ("are", "can", etc.). unless they came up with a list of 50 or so 3-letter words to automatically eliminate (like google does) then it should stay as is and ppl should just be smarter. want nin? type "nine inch nails". or if you want to know about a certain track look it up w/ the search function to see if it's been talked about. you can comb through 4000 autechre threads before finding one specific to "bine" or you can just look up "bine" and you're set. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
besides what's wrong with searching for "the" "etc" "you" etc...? it is stupid but that's all! which problem can it cause?? you can also search for "feel", "tell", "what", it is as stupid. your argument is worthless then =/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree with private messaging. Being able to change usernames would be good too... but have the original in you profile so we know who it is. The voting thing is lame... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, bandwidth, bandwidth, fucking bandwidth -_- in that case, just remove the search engine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's senseless: a waste of the searcher's time and a waste of phobia's money. please, don't call my argument "worthless," thank you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but if i search forr "cat" why will it turrn up rresults forr "the" orr "new" etc... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
remove the search engine? what, so idiots can waste even more time and money starting up a new thread when an identical one with 300 posts already exists? don't try my patience. let's agree to disagree. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would like it if we weren't referred to as "members". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
try: kitten, kitty, cats... as i said, with common sense you can find any topic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know but i don't underrstand, why won't it just find the worrd "cat"? why will it brring back loads of rresults. i mean how many times can the worrd cat have been used. what if i rremmeberr a thrread called "Cat"? and i want to find that thrread, i'm not arrguing titsworth i just don't underrstand. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry ' _ ' not ALL 3-letter words are as common. i'll give you the same example for the third time: zao wou-ki. or if you want to search for acronyms, like icq or aim. or if you want to search for the track "rae". if it's a bandwidth problem, ok, fine, but still i feel like everyone here agrees with phobiazero whatever he does! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, i agree that we disagree : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exact phrase searches |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cat is under 4 letters, and because so many words under 4 letters are extremely common, words 3 letters and under are excluded. it's a necessary sacrifice; you can't have people searching for my cat is bad because it'll get any topic with those 4 words, eg: message #1 my dick hurts message #6 what is this? message #8: i like my cat, he is cool. message #50: bea arthur has a fucking NICE rack. i'm a bad boy, amn't i? you wouldn't want that :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but searching for "my cat is bad" instead of my cat is bad... |
