Site update suggestions for Danny

Not the "Guest"...


h34r:

 

Thanks for the response Danny. There's a site that I frequent called DSL Reports and while I wouldn't expect you to copy the site, I just wanted to show you what I meant in my post.

The attachment shows a yellow flag of the posts that I have contributed to. If I haven't posted in awhile and need to find a post, say five pages back, I'd be able to find it much more quickly than looking through all of the posts I've done to date.

Also I edited my original post to request a revision to the breadcrumb feature as well.

 

I like Dave's suggestion above better than mine.

 

There is an indication of whether you've posted in a thread. It's a bit hard to spot, and maybe a suggestion would be to make it more obvious. But the icon of a blank page before the thread title has the lower right corner snipped off if you've posted in the thread. This feature was significant in my drifting away from PriusOnLine and to priusChat.

 

Wow...didn't even see that in the legend for the icons...maybe the legend needs an update then.

 

Regarding the dispute over Fred's and off-topic discussion, I'd like to repeat what I've said before: Fred's was created because in any more or less open forum other topics will come up, and Fred's was conceived originally as a way to segregate those off-topic discussions so that people who didn't want to participate could easily avoid them.

I gather that some folks prefer to use the "Recent Topics" list or analogous lists to read the board, and this jumbles all the forums together.

Perhaps what's needed is an easy way to distinguish what forum a thread is in, when using such lists, or a divided list that recognizes the special nature of Fred's, and places it apart from the car-related forums.

I like Fred's. But I think making it easier to avoid Fred's, for those do do not like the off-topic discussions, would be good.

Personally, I seldom use the "Recent Topic" type lists. I go to the forums I am interested in, usually the main forum, Freds, and my local state forum. Then I ignore thread titles that don't grab my interest, users who annoy me, etc.

 

With regard to two earlier posts:

Yes, bring back points. And restore our lost points. I had a bucketful of points and it was fun playing with them like Scrouge McDuck in his room full of gold coins.

I assumed member sponsorship disappeared because Danny was getting enough commercial sponsorship that he no longer needed our contributions. If that is not the case, bring them back and I'll contribute again. I think I was only a tin sponsor, or something, but, hey, if every one of those thousands and thousands of members we keep hearing about contributed a dollar a year Danny could retire from his day job and work full-time at maintaining this site. Okay, maybe $5 each per year.
