Downies Help Garreth Fix Our New Site!!!!

Aidin's picture

Aidin — Wed, 11/28/2007 - 09:50

As we find things that are wrong, or that can be improved on the site, let's track them here! Just telling Garreth is likely to have no effect, as he's got 1000 things going on!

  • /profile: User names are far left, images too far right
  • maincontent area needs to be about 100-200 pixels wider to the right
  • greay nave bar needs to be much thinner
  • fewer "Recent Blog Posts" on the far right to be shown.
  • fewer "Recent Comments" on the far right to be shown
  • include a block to the far right with new books/stories
  • /book needs to show expanded chapters of all books (via a view?)
  • /taxonomy/term : can we have the sub pages NOT show up?
  • TinyMCE editor box overlaps it's container to the right
  • img_assist module must be installed for TinyMCE to use it
  • more forums & better forum structure
  • Set TinyMCE to use the theme of the site in it's editing
  • disable option to kick for "bad behavior" in guild chatbox

I didn't break it! They just suspected I was a bot and banned me! But that only stopped Firefox, IE hax past the blockage!

LOL, didn't you break the last site too?!

I blame Saedo.  I need to figure out who that IP is... it might be something related to my webhost and thus harmless. Or it could be trouble.

Aidin — Mon, 02/11/2008 - 15:42

But I refresh 100+ times per day and I'm NO where close to you...PLUS I've been on the site since it was just a glimmer in Garreth's eye...still seems a bit fishy that saedo's so high up there.

Dunno, maybe your browser

saedo — Mon, 02/11/2008 - 16:08

Dunno, maybe your browser loads from the cache more? Or maybe a proxy server or something you may be connected to?

Should we be concerned that this IP and Saedo hit the site more then the ppl that program it, and that have it open and refeshing it all day?

Here's a bug, going from "disabling rich-text" and back again will make line breaks multiply like rabbits.

I would like to see the those bubbles that are inside the forum on the
sub catagories (star reflects posts with new unread items and no star,
those forums which you have read all content) on the main forum page:

Katibug — Fri, 02/08/2008 - 09:03

An idea for those addicted to the shoutbox

 One of the things I liked about the shoutbox was being able to browse the site while the shoutbox ran at the top.  If there was a way to make the iirc chat box be a popup in another browser that would be pretty rad.  That way I can browse and chat at the same time!

I have it set like that on purpose for now.

 

You don't think this is in any way a bad idea if the wrong people find out?

From real Garreth: No, Wiges, I should be able to trust all of you.  Don't prove me wrong.

holla, good start here.

 

User searches fill in dynamically as you start typing (site needs to be less laggy).

 

Roger on the categories.

 

Things I'll add to this list: Main content area needs to be wider, and grety box skinnier. Rich text editor falls out of containing boxes.

Aidin — Wed, 11/28/2007 - 09:52

1. User list could be cleaned up a bit. User names are far left and photos if attached are far right.

 

2. When assigning someone as an author, I don't get a seach, I have to KNOW their name, and they have to be registered...can it link to registred users better?

 

3.  Add a tag either 1 for Class info or 1 for each class (mage, lock, pally etc)
