i for one do not relish the title of "peon" attached to my member #
Shall I suggest "chief peon":D

or "the entertainer":roll:

Why not have just a simple level 1 member to level (say...) 10 member for the new joiners.

Even just one level between new member and admin would be good. These would be trustworthy people who you know you'd be able to share .rmf's etc with.

search function for finding old threads on here if it hasnt already been done.

Its at the bottem of the page and has been for a long time.

i think it has korn, but its buried, and not easily found, cause you didn't find it.. but i have seen it.

anyways, i think we are still having people post over-sized images, can we reduce them? (as in forbid the uploading) i mean for maps and such keep them to under 100k at 800x600? but allow our artist, who need very large images to do so in the art forum?

maps don't need big, but art does.

EDIT: Hey, can our posts allow leading spaces? My arrow is kinda broken.

I know I mentioned this before but it would nice to have a section where users could submit proper reviews on finished maps. They'd be fairly easy to integrate into the site I'd imagine, and everyone loves reviews right?

I remember we agreed on a review format before, does anyone still have it?

I would like to see reviews come back. But if we dont have a template, why dont we just stick with the ones we have already?

its not the format thats the issue, its the effort needed to make them a permanent part of the pit.

i had many maps waiting to be done, but saw no need to hurry if lep couldn't be bothered to make them permanent.

priorities were elsewhere then, maybe he could be persuaded now :wink:

in the "user stat" area, we need a "who has rated the most members overall" categorie.

Why?

Monqui said:
Why?

uhh, to motivate people to do so perhaps.. hell i dunno, we have other stats, and the page says if we would like to see others too to...

anywho's post another stat in lieu of it :wink:

[edit] add lowest rated then :biggrin:

It'd be a nice feature if you could use bb code in the comments section for smileys and urls.

In case you didn't notice, Lep put in the number of guests in the users online page. :smile:

guests? either we have none, or i am missing something

[edit] OHHH i see it. "probably 9 guests".. thats killer

I used to be able to write/upload reviews. Sadly now I cant anymore and my reviews were credited to Gwil for some reason, lol.

Gwil, you sneaky little f**k. Give him back his reviews. :biggrin:

Was there actually a feature for users to upload reviews? I'd review some stuff occasionally if there was. :smile:

No, I asked Gwil one day if I could do reviews and after a frist tryout review, I got the privelage.

How come when I post a comment all the comments after that seem to be mine. And I mean that in the way that the EDIT THIS COMMENT and DELETE THIS COMMENT keeps apearing, even though they aren't my comments.

A picture to illustrate:

http://www13.brinkster.com/belua/mapbug.gif

I remember seeing that before. If you click on the buttons it tells you somthing like you don't have permission to change the comment right? It might be that one of the admin features is messed up a bit and displaying on normal members screens.

OMFG, I clicked on it, and it deleted my own message, argh.........dumb dumb me

The guests thing is just a guess based on the number of page loads this website gets from logged-in-or-not people. Fixed the comments thing too, my bad :smile: Aaaand reviews we can do- the problem is turning away the crap ones, which even I with my cold cold heart have trouble doing sometimes, like with tutorials :/

I understand. I wont ask to be a reviewer again. I know when my work is not up to par :biggrin:

Oh and by the way Lep, your answered questions thingy that I see in the control panel for the editing forum is still not working. Unless there is a delay, because I recently answered 2 questions and I still reside at 13.

There's a lot of stuff wrong with the website, I saw my own name as the last posted even though I haven't even posted in that thread.

Front page has some weird news thingy. And the list goes on and on, not that much bothered by the bugs though, just very strange.

And when's the SnarkPower page going to be up? Im dying to see it :biggrin:

One day, when I perfect these forums and start working on a 'distributable' version- complete with easily customisable forum/topic pages, themes, support functionality, etc. etc. :smile: Have some more ideas I'd like to add too, like if you add a reply 2 minutes after one of your own posts it just tacks it onto the end of the last one, and maybe getting threaded topics working.

Actually, been thinking more about the future in general and have some ideas. I figure a Wikipedia-style website, where people can contribute/edit articles at will, would work quite nicely. You could do away with editing forums, really. And similarly for maps...

Whatever happend to them interviews and articles?

i'd be interested in having a link to the "comments" in each profile..

As well, for user levels, perhaps once we get high enough, we dont need to have our news accepted before it gets posted. I mean, after 2 years, I wouldnt be posting crap on there. Just a thought

New BB code for the [edit] tag.

What comments? A page that lists all the comments a certain person has made, yeah?

I think he means, when you go in someones profile, there is links to see his maps, his tuts, his posts, but the comments dosent have a link.

see where i have 63 comments, i can't remember doing all of them, i would like to be able to go back and read them, plus it would be sorta cool to be able to read others too.

being away often, i miss some things, this might help fill in the blanks.

but i understand if its a bandwidth issue, don't do it if its any trouble :smile:

Your a bandwidth issue Orph! :biggrin:

I'm glad to see I was up to par thinking the same thing as the great Orpheus of Snarkpit

i would like to have the ability to post a poll, anonymously..

IMO, some people might be swayed in advance when the poster is known. some for good, others for ill, but not knowing the origin of the poll, might render more reliable figures.

Well, my "3.9 out of 5" thread seemed to have kept my rating at 3.9 so I dont know how a poll would kill you :biggrin:

you be quiet, you told me you wouldn't post silly things in the news if you had the ability to authorize your own work, well you posted a silly tut.. so just be quiet :biggrin:

besides, some of us here are indeed shallow enuff to vote poorly if the poll originator is disliked.

Sniff sniff.. That hurt. It took me a whole 2 minutes :biggrin: to think of that methode used in the tut. But the main reason I made it a tutorial, is because it trully solved a problem in my map, and I felt other mappers might like the idea. Why remake the map to fit the player's specs?

i'm playin with'ya WC.. posting a tut is ok anytime.. let the users decide its value.

"??users online"

when you click this, it tells you whom is here, it also shows you what they are looking/reading at..

you have an option of clicking on the link, of what they are viewing, but it takes you to page #1, it would be nice if it took you to the last page, thats where the relevant/current info is..

I like that point. Also, on another note, Lep, everytime I want to send you a PM and your not online, I have to go into your profile. In Snarkpit Version 3, you had the PM link next to the member names in the member list. Can we have that back?

Oh, and having front page and profile news would be great too :razz: .

slaps WC

look at the bottom of this post.. see the tiny icons.. one is the express lane to the PM system of that user :smile:

continues to slap WC

But then that would mean I would have to go and look for a post from Lep. Comeon here, Im lazzy! :razz:
