What do you want to see?

[bearkub]

OK, so this is going to be the thread where we take suggestions on how we want these new boards to look. If you have any suggestions, anything you have seen done on other boards that you want done here, etc this will be the place for it.

I won't say we will use all or any suggestions, but they do help when plotting things out. Some things we are already thinking about doing includes getting some new smilies, shifting things around a bit, looks like r13 and Vito got the colors fixed last night or this morning.

If you don't want to post them here, you can hit me up with an email as well.

- Better dividers between posts. Either the alternating colors of the old board or a colored headline or something.
- Lower treshold for "hot topics". A hot topic should only be a topic that is considered "hot" by the stnadards of the board, currently 90% of the threads are "hot".
- "Devisiting" threads with new posts. You know, the old boards didn't use a cookie but altrered the address enough so your browser would no longer consider the link visited.
- Adding the option to disable the automatic scroll to first unread post. That's annoying, especially since the system and I tend to disagree on the subject of which post was the last unread.
- My old post count /images/graemlins/tongue.gif.

[JonMurphy]

Something like this board -

http://www.altbristol.org.uk/portal.php

Not colour wise, but it does do some nice things. I think the best feature is giving points to posts in certain forums, which can be exchanged for forum name effects.

It is something which the guys that run it have written, I think, so may be impossible to implement here.

[snemmy]

someone mentioned in asherr's poll thread about adding some more space between the tables to divide things up a little more. looking at an old archived thread i have, the old boards didnt have that extra space. BUT! they do have the alternating colors for the posts. right now we have green for the avatar area and blue for the post. the old ones were green all the way across and the next post blue all the way across. i think setting it back to that will help with those complaints.

also mentioned was making posts with new replies default back to unread.

otherwise some new buttons and stuff will help make it feel like home again /images/graemlins/wink.gif

oh and can you turn off the 'jump to last post' thing when clicking on a thread? that's a bit annoying when its a new thread with 7 responses and it takes you to the last post when it's your first time viewing...

*edit
i see i was beaten to the punch /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[bearkub]

OK, the dividers between posts, I already noticed this morning . Totally agree, it is hard to read.

The scrolling to the latest post, I am trying to find out where to turn that off currently. Bloody annoying....

I thought I tweaked the Hot Topic thing to stop that last night, guess I will have to look at it again.

keep em coming! =]

[snemmy]

oh and while im thinking of it...

the font size for the secondary and tertiary text elements could be taken down a couple of sizes. right now everything is the same size and i think is contributing to that 'crammed together' feel people seem to have. that is to say, there is currently no visual hierarchy for text. if the main text is 12pt then i would got 10pt and 8pt for the secondary and tertiary, respectivly.

ugh.. im starting to use my graphic design vocabulary.. it is time for snemmy to sleep...

[lkraan]

I agree with the better dividers between posts.
For some reason I think that the screen looks cluttered even though there are not too many options and things.

I would lose the "Post extras" options below every post.
I don't see the need for these options.

What I think would be very nice is to disable the signature option or restrict it to text (with links etc.) only with a maximum of 2 lines.

To spice up the looks maybe you can hold a competition for new forum graphics like a banner and all the options like reply, quote, quick reply, previous, next etc.

[Mojo2k]

i LOVE the quick reply bar, but i would like to see a Directory tree at the bottom, so after i post and it relaodas i don't have to scroll up to go back to the parent forum,

[Rick Stirling]

Well, you could be radical and choose a brand new colour scheme. Something less dark and oppressive /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[perna]

hey, arrange a redesign contest, polycount is starting to look old. a lot of old useless links on the main page etc. I'm sure one of these fellas can come up with something revitalizataring

[bearkub]

a new version of the main page is already in the works. shhhh, silly Norway-type person.

A contest for board graphics is soon to come.

Your state of knowingness has been raised 2 full levels!

[JonMurphy]

I thought there was a re-design going on behind the scenes anyway. I know something was mentioned when I did a CSS, tableless version of the site two years ago...

[Marine]

narrower columns, we're barely using half of whats there with the user column, same for the last post column

[sundance]

might one ask nicely for custom ranks, or at least custom ranks being an option at a certain post-count. (i fully expect to get flames for that)

remove post extras like someone said.

turn off the damn preview of posts thingy. PLEASE!!

ikraan: signatures are already restricted to text only, and 150 characters.

[swampbug]

A nice button to the forums at the top of polycount.com

[bearkub]

Sundance: I am figuring out how to do the rank thing, there has to be a way to let you guys do it. The preview posts you can turn off in your personal options, I don't want to turn it off globally.

Marine: ah yes, I see what you mean, that is pretty wasteful. We'll see what we can do about that.

hahaha Shampoobanana IL...HAHAHAHA.

[r13]

swampbug: i'm happy to replace the button i put up there already, a month or two ago. would you like to do a new one for me? /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[sundance]

thanks kub, missed that when i was fiddling with my settings this morning, i was too busy trying to get my sig to work and set the time properly...

[bearkub]

and I have GOT to turn off that defaulting to the last post. That is driving me NUTS.

[Mojo2k]

i also vote for killing the animated avatars, we were fine without them, and while they can be used tastefully, they won't be and the forums will end up looking like a flashing epilepsy causing nightmare

[AstroZombie]

I second what Mojo said. "Tasteful" ones are fine but I have a feeling for the most part that we will end up with a bunch of flashing distracting ones.

[BoBo_the_seal]

I'm not a fan of ranked threads. It creates competition within the boards. One thing I always liked about polycount was the level friendly playing field.

- BoBo

[bearkub]

Bobo: oh ffs, I didn't even notice that til now. =P That will be turned off. Thanks. =]

As for the animated avatar...

There have been people that have wanted them for a looong time now (hell if I know why...) so, since you can now host and update them on your own and the size limit is set to 80x80, I am going to let them go until I get some "official" rules written up. Trust me, I can't stand animated avatars, but I am doing my damnedest to please as many people as possible.

[tpe]

Is it possible to import the old emoticons (except that bear type one /images/graemlins/wink.gif) that soern did all those years ago? Nice to see those good ol fashioned PC colours back, changing the 'jump too' roll down so as it goes to the link as soon as a section is chosen as opposed to having to push the jump button even if you change the destination?

!A VERY BIG POLYCOUNT LOGO AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE!

i miss it /images/graemlins/frown.gif

that thing of being able to see who is browsing at any time is kind of freaky, is it possible to send them an instant message type thing so as it pops up in their page login status bar that someone has sent them a personal message? not that i think it would be necessarily a great idea, but interesting to know how it would work.

Not having to add a subject line

not having to preview personal messages, add subject lines to them, basically more ability to not get the post right first time

Whatever only small suggestions as just been enjoying the being able to brows them again, thanks for the efffort all those that put it in.

Have to set my homepage to polycount.net soon /images/graemlins/smile.gif so i dont get that nasty 404 any more

tpe

Damn almost forgot jolene Blalocks inner thigh.

[gauss]

i am glad to hear that the ranked threads will leave, it does add an unnecessary and unhealthy dimension to message boards... but you knew that.

as far as the animated avatar issue, i'm okay with them in the case of, say, conor's, which is svelte and subdued. the obnoxious shit like ankalar's and especially anything like arshlevon's has to go immediately. dunno how this translates to policy, but what about saying that for you to have an animated avatar it must be wholly your own artwork? anything to get rid of the 'funnay image from teh intarweb' tendency. just a thought.

[sundance]

i think the other animated icons that should be allowed are AIM type icons from movie sites, cos sometimes i do like to use them...:)

[AstroZombie]

Ability to view the boards in either 1st or 3rd person.

[killingpeople]

One thing that bothers me is when a member will post a huge image and it screws up the entire thread's format by stretching the thread horizontally.

Some boards prevent this buy making a comment row that extend beyond the right margin, seperate from the other comments, making other comments on the same page, readable without having to use the horizontal scrollbar.

this issue maybe already be taken care of.

[perna]

I dont like the rank thing either; wouldn't it just encourage people to spam more? They already spam WITHOUT it.. like posting an apology for double-posting in a new post(great, you've now successfully TRIPLE-posted), simply commenting "cool" or "rox" and then "did I say this rox" in the W.I.P section...

Animated avatars HAVE TO GO. No! Wait! Maybe with some restriction, so they're not too distracting. I don't know how easy it would be to restrict something like that, though. Anyway, you can turn off display of avatars in your personal options, can't you?

I keep bumping into little features I like with these new boards, like how it jumps to the more recent post when you enter a forum.

Also everything seems a LOT faster than before.

[moose]

id vote for getting rid of the titles on posts, i dont see a reason for them being there. Likewise with post #. sure its cool and all, but not necessary.

i like the abilityto control your avatar, that is definately goood. I mentioned this elsewhere, but what if there was a contest for default avatars? where everyone could submit n avatars, and out of all the submissions, 20 or so would be in as default/preset ones.

This 'quick reply' thing is fucking sweet!

//edit
I just noticed the 'Thread Views' column. That should go, it seems like another useless thing.

Allowing the <font color="yellow">font color</font> <font color="blue">t</font><font color="green">o</font> <font color="orange">b</font> <font color="red">e</font> <font color="purple">c</font> <font color="#666666">h</font><font color="pink">a</font><font color="blue">n</font><font color="yellow">e</font><font color="black">d</font> through the edit/post menu is a little iffy... can you specify which colors people can and can't use?

Oh yeah, Frank The Avenger would like to be able to have spaces in his name, and be able to use is long ass name. Silly frank.

we can put them in if someone can forward a copy of them.
or we can do it later, when the gamespy server opens up again, and they still exist.

cool, you should start seeing them when you hit reply... i'm adding them in now.

triple post bump!

i got all the post icons in... i believe, if i missed one poke me with a stick. i'll do some of the other ones slowly as that takes a bit more effort.

[moose]

sweet!

the instant "graemlins" things are still the old graphics

[adam]

Love that they're back - just gotta remove the ugly default ones (and would it be possible to replace that flame icon beside certain threads???)

[Whargoul]

Hello all! Mostly same things others have pointed out, but my thoughts anyways:

Bad
Lose the topic rating.
Lose the topic views.
Missing polycount emoticons /images/graemlins/frown.gif
The message dividers suck pretty badly. Posts aren't easily visually distinguised, and it seems like they take up way too much space.
Lose the "subject" for each post. LAME!
I wish the quick reply text area was a few lines longer.
The "Post Extras" section could be moved to the post header or something to save space, or removed altogether.
Wide images still mess up the page and force you to scroll over to read the replys. I've seen it handled better on other boards before (just tha post is stretched I think).

Good
Quick reply is rad.
It seems a lot faster than before.
Birthdays are kind of cool.
Who's online is weird, but I like it!

Meh
Avatars. Easy to set up, but could be lame if people use stupid ones.
I might be nice to have a spell checker. Especially for lazy people. /images/graemlins/wink.gif


Oh man it's good to have the ol'd green station back, I was going through withdrawls!

[Mojo2k]

man, i also love being able to view multiple page threads on one page!

[Khas]

Change the default icon for posts to the polysmilehttp://boards.polycount.net/images/icons/icon60.gif or none at all.

Add in all of these icons: http://boards.polycount.net/showflat.php?Cat=0&amp;Number=428&amp;an=0&amp;page=0#428

Add shortcuts for the polyblobs. And 'Instant Graemlins'.

Get rid of the yellow icons. They are evil.

Change my title to 'Strangest'.

Khas

[Frank]

I want a few things, but I'll understand if I can't have them (I'll just rant about it):

Spaces in usernames! I've never seen a board that doesn't allow spaces. My spaces are a part of me. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Similarly, the sixteen character limit for display names makes me sad. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

But I'm glad we have boards again. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Frank the Avenger

[adam]

The thresh-hold of how many posts made on a page before it creates a new one be nice if it were back to 50 - rather than 10.

[Frank]

I think you can change that in your profile, Adam.

Frank the Avenger

[MoP]

I'm 100% with Whargoul.

[joolz8000]

"I'm 100% with Whargoul."

me too.

[Sa74n]

there is a lot of stuff that shouldnt be visible.
i'm not really interested in my forum permissions for example. the whole "extra information" box isnt really neccessary imo

the old smilies and icons would be cool.

generally just keep it CLEAN and SIMPLE. everything thats obsolete should be invisible

[KDR_11k]

Whargoul: The text field size in your personal preferences resizes the quick reply box, too.

[Soccerman18]

The whole header in each post seems pretty useless like other have said. The date and time is nice, and quote is helpful at times.

What's the point in having large reply and quickly reply buttons in each post? Having a single reply button at the top and bottom would help clean things up a bit. And with the reply page that opens up, it was really nice on the old board how it had a window were you could scroll through and see the entire thread that you're posting to, but right now if you hit reply it just shows the post you're replying to. The quick reply is nice as you can still see the whole thread, but it doesn't have all the options like the reply does, like the smilies for example.

Why is header sometimes blue and sometimes green? The blue is especially annoying since it doesn't help to separate the posts. Having the header alway being green or alternate the colors of the posts like the old board would help to separate the posts.

Turn on HTML. HTML is our friend. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Is it just me or does this new board seem a lot more crammed? Maybe it's just overflowing with a lot of useless junk or unneeded info, but it definitly feels smaller and more cluttered.

It's great to see everyone again.

[bearkub]

Topic ratings and views are going. No need to worry about that. We are going to try and reformat the tables as well. The polycount smiles should be back or slowly coming back. The thread divisions are being worked on as well. Unfortunately, we won't be able to do much until this weekend as both r13 and I are a tight schedule until then.

A lot of the extra stuff we are going to get rid of; mainly things that don't really contribute like the post extras and junk like that.

I am also trying to figure out how to disable the jump to newest post as soon as possible. Mainly because it is driving me INSANE.

One thing that will not be turned back on is HTML. It's a security hole I am not going to open since these boards are being hosted on another server (not GSI) as a favor to us.

The board width being change by large pictures, I will try to fix, but I really don't want to jack with the formatting of the boards as much as possible. The best solution would be to get people to post smaller images and link out to larger ones, or see if I can get the lvlshot hack back in.

As I said at the beginning, r13 and I hope to get a lot of stuff done this weekend. So, just hang in there and keep posting suggestions. Most of these are really helpful.

Load time seems very slow using the modem, and I haven't even been to P&amp;P yet. I have a feeling this will get better once the extra fat is trimmed off the board. Just my bit of input.

[frosty]

Well I made the jump from hyperspace on the millenium falcon. Nice to all the fellow Brethren and Sistren here.

Major kudos to our fearless leader r13 and Kub for getting us going again. Woot!

Well I love the ability to change the page format in preferences, I like the info pop or frosted best. The old green and black is just too harsh for my old, tender eyes.

[Soul_Reaper]

Oh man, this board is ugly and cluttered.

Also, the restrictions on user name format are annoying. I hate it when I have to put an underscore in my name!

But yeah, I've always kinda wanted to have the feature where you can see who posted last in a given topic.

I've been hanging out at the Red vs Blue forums recently, in my opinion those are damn near perfect

[Jes]

Meh... I like the old Poly-forums better! :/

+I like all the new additions, but the feel's just... different...
Also, the window-size of posts seem small?

Meh, maybe it just needs sigs to "flesh it out"... The posts just seem miniature at the moment, imho.
Probably a personal thing! O_o

[frosty]

I dunno guys the ability to change the defaults colors easy and it loads so much faster and you can disable loading member avatars, looks better if I get caught at work than with some avatars loaded on green n black. I hope we stay with these forums and they just drop the voyuer count and the hit popular count which Kubber's said was going.

Plus I think Artists/Geeks like us don't adjust to change very well, I know I don't, I like a certain routine and look and when change comes it kinda kicks in the shins.

Plus the polling option is so cool and unique. I can just imagine some of the polls members are going to make soon. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Jes]

Just noticed something... The post-info bar between the last post, and the post before it, has the same blue background as the actual post... bug?

[KDR_11k]

It's blue on the posts the system decided you didn't read yet.

[Soccerman18]

"It's blue on the posts the system decided you didn't read yet."

I think that system is really borked. I've noticed several times where threads that have new posts are still blue and threads that I just read are still green. I've clicked on the blue threads that have new posts in them and the header shows up as blue, so it knows there's new posts, but it still shows it as blue, and same goes for green. At first I thought that maybe the colors were reversed, but there's many threads that show up as they should.

[KDR_11k]

I meant the header background, the link colors follow no discernable pattern.

[moose]

not sure if its a bug with this version of UBB, or something that can be fixed... but the cookie trail links at the top of the thread/boards seem a little strange.

the left most one reads what section of the forum you are in, as opposed to showing the root forum name. Its minor, but a little funky none the less.

It just looks a little odd seeing 'General Discussion &gt; General Discussion &gt; Thread" instead of "Polycount Boards (whatever) &gt; General Discussion &gt; ..."

[_Shimmer]

can i have better colors? Black orange would be cool (then i can call it "my" board /images/graemlins/laugh.gif )

[Rick Stirling]

I would suspect that it is very easy to make the blue header on the last unread post be another colour. It could be another shade of green.

I'm sure Kub is on the job /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Soccerman18]

moose: If you go to the first page showing all the boards, in the red it has sort of a main catagory that the boards are in, so Gen Disc is in the Gen Disc catagory, and P&amp;P as well as 2D&amp;3D and contests are in the P&amp;P catagory. So it's showing what catagory you're in, and then which board you're in.

[Whargoul]

I think 2d&amp;3D should be under General Discussion, it's really a "pimping &amp; previews" type category.

[Marine]

titles (http://boards.polycount.net/faq.php?Cat=0#titles) don't seem to be working

[KDR_11k]

Maybe only people who joined after those ranks wer eimplemented get dynamic ranks and for the rest the system assumes we have custom titles?

[tpe]

Anyone know how to set the number of topics viewed up from 12? locally or would that have to be done host side? It is really annoying having to go back through all those other pages to see if anyone has posted on the thread you are interested in.

OK smiles and gremlins are updated.

[bearkub]

r13: if you get to it before me, rebuilding the threads should give everyone the current ranks or whatever.

[bearkub]

OK, I upped the character limit on names to 20 characters. I really don't want it much higher than that. I also enabled special charcters in the titles now as well. If you want to change your username, let me know (use bearkub3ATcomcastDOTnet since GSI's mail server sucks) and email me so I can delete the old account. Hopefully, I will have more changes in soon.

[sundance]

i'll hoast it for you. email it me marked 'polycount avatar' and i'll bung it up and pm you the url.

[Eric Chadwick]

If this was mentioned already, my apologies.

I'd love to see the threads from the old board made available again, there was a great wealth of searchable content there, and it went back quite a few years.

I save threads I'm interested in to a HD archive, so I have copies of the ones I thought were useful. Paul Jaquays started a great one about normal mapping methods, thank god I saved that. Some great stuff in there.

But it would be nice to be able to point someone to one of the older threads, so much has been said already (and said well).

If possible, restoring them to the same old URLs would be helpful. Got some as bookmarks.

[bearkub]

we are going to restore the old boards in some archive format. More than likely will maintain the same urls

[eepberries]

Also it would be nice if all the RE's were gone.

I loved that feature of the last boards, and haven't seen another one do it quite as well. Much better than the "new posts" icon.

[HarlequiN]

This may have been mentioned already, but I miss the alternating Green/Blue posts, makes is much tougher to see where one post ends and the next begins unless I'm paying attention to the left hand column. I realise the post titles alternate, but that means that every second post has a blue post title, which makes it feel like part of the one before. Is this even possible to change in the new version?

Also, it's annoying as hell that it seems to default to the last post. Is this a user preference or a global one? I'm crunching right now so I've not really had a good chance to look around and see what's going on.

Oh, and I kinda miss being a mod in P&amp;P, but I'm so damned busy right now I couldn't do anything with the power even if I had it. I've not even added an Avatar yet look /images/graemlins/wink.gif So don't sweat it on that score, heh.

[KDR_11k]

You cannot see poll results without voting but after three days it forgets that you already voted. I don't want to skew the polls just to see the current results.

the colors are too harsh and weird to me. i liked it the way it was before. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

also, a box with smiley in it next to the quick reply box, for easy usage.

Mishra: You can set your color scheme in the user prefs, "default" should be the Polycount board colors.

Another thing that bugs me is the "A" and "M" bubbles next to the administers' and moderaters' names.

[HarlequiN]

Wow! That means I'm an admin and didn't even know it!

PHEAR MY POWAIRE!

Hehehehe. (Sweet)

On the old boards when I visited a thread, the thread link in the index became the blue color of a visited link.
When a new post was posted in that thread, the thread link in the index got the green color of an unvisited link.
I found that really handy. It seems that the visited blue link color stays when you visited a thread once, and it doesn't turn back to the unvisited link color when somebody replied. If it's possible could this be changed? /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Does anyone else have the problem of when you click on a thread it automatically takes you to the bottom of the page by the quick reply?

[snemmy]

Apostle:

yes, and that isnt a 'problem' it's a 'feature'. it takes you to the newest reply from the last time you visited the thread. as has been stated several times in this thread, they are working to get rid of that annoying 'feature'.

[Apostle]

oops, sorry about that. thanks for the info though.
I'll be the first to admit that i was just too damn lazy to read the whole thread. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[JBoskma]

I see my 'problem' has been fixed. Thanks crew /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[bearkub]

I would LOVE to see all the posts from the old forum imported into this one.. I don't know if this is possible. Old register dates back too maybe?

[Makk]

Yeah, old reg dates from our older accounts would be cool.

Also, the star rating system has gotten out of hand.
I like the idea of star rated threads and have a suggestion.
It should be limited to 4 or 5 stars only. The only way to for a thread to get a 4 or 5 stars would be by a minimum number of votes, say 10 or 15. That way they wont get out of hand.

Hehe new boards... cool

Argh, I can't edit my post anymore! I just wanted to fix some very evil mistakes. I wrote "Mangement Economics &amp; Right" which ofcourse is complete jibberish. It should have been "Management, economics &amp; law". Even with the preview function I still make lots of these mistakes, because English is not my mother tongue and I'm kinda zombie-ish most of the time. I would love to see the maximum edit time disappear. It would also come in handy when you would like to update your post with a new version of your work and you would be able to delete older images to prevend excessive loading times and use of bandwidth.

[moose]

lol, thats exactly why i was coming in here to post NuclearTes /images/graemlins/smile.gif

hell, English is my major language and i edit 3 or 5 times.

all i wanted to do was add my flat to DP's elf girl thread /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[bearkub]

I upped the limit on editing to 1 month, so you should be ok to do so now. I am going to unstick these threads now to free up this space for other stuff. This doesn't mean we aren't still taking suggestions, but instead of posting them just email them to bearkub3ATcomcastDOTnet or rogue13ATpolycountDOTcom.
