View Full Version : Random board coolness

I love the fact that the pm box will show you your pm's separated into "yesterday" and "today" :cool:

What have you guys found that's fun?

Bethany

is there an online viewing function that i'm just missing?

Marty

is there an online viewing function that i'm just missing?

That's the "Currently Active Viewers" link down the bottom there.

hehe... I said bottom... wait 'til I tell sen...

maybe that post was a ploy to make you say bottom. :cool:

You mean to see who else is online, Bethany?

Brice
04-28-2007, 10:33 AM
You can also click on quick links beneath the site's banner and then click on who's online to see an online list that shows where everyone is.

Matt
05-01-2007, 07:01 AM
Not sure if we like this but the "view member list" function not only tells you a person is in their PM box but also if they are reading or writing.

Also tells you who they are reading from or writing to

:borg:

sarah
05-01-2007, 07:10 AM
really? interesting. can mods only see that function or the whole site and all the members?

Matt
05-01-2007, 07:13 AM
Hmmm...not sure, I'll test that at home. I may need you for some PM's :evil:

sarah
05-01-2007, 07:17 AM
:evil: you got it. :drool:

Hannah
05-01-2007, 07:44 AM
ohhh I don't like the idea of people seeing who I'm PMing at all. it makes me feel so exposed.

Matt
05-01-2007, 08:12 AM
I kind of felt the same way, I believe it might be a board setting.

I am going to check if only admins can do it but even if they are the only ones, I still don't like it

Hannah
05-01-2007, 09:00 AM
I agree. If there's a way to turn it off I'd say do it. If we can't I guess we have to all agree to respect each other's privacy as far as that goes.

I couldn't agree more.

Unless I'm missing something than I know regular members and facilitators can't see who someone is messaging. I'm not sure about others.

Erin
05-01-2007, 09:33 AM
Oh wow, I just realized I can see who people are PMing/reading PM's from. So that means Managers can see it.

I agree with Hannah's above posting regarding this.

Matt
05-01-2007, 09:56 AM
Yeah, I think it should be gone for everyone. I'm not sure I want to know that.

Hannah
05-01-2007, 10:27 AM
Yea, see, I'm worried that one day Aaron might catch me PMing my other boyfriend on here. And then the jig would be up.

:p

Aaron
05-01-2007, 10:36 AM
Lady, the jig has been up. I'm just waiting for my chap to be born, and then it's Aaron and Baby Mordred cruisin' the bayou.











Okay, that's a lie.

Does your other boyfriend have a tiny pee-pee?

Matt
05-01-2007, 10:40 AM
No, I don't. Nice try though. :cool:

Aaron
05-01-2007, 10:42 AM
ouch.

Burn...

:cool:

Matt
05-01-2007, 10:44 AM
:rofl:

Nah, its hard to go with old meat when you have some just off the cow right in front of you.

Aaron is the young meat in that analogy

Erin
05-01-2007, 10:45 AM
I had to read that like 5 times before it made sense. :lol:

Hannah
05-01-2007, 10:48 AM
:lol:

"tiny peepee"

Aaron
05-01-2007, 10:48 AM
I'm threaded stock, bitches!

Hannah
05-01-2007, 10:49 AM
Pfft.

Jorge
05-01-2007, 02:34 PM
Apparently, if you just sit there viewing the online list, it automatically refreshes every 60 seconds.

Hannah
05-01-2007, 02:59 PM
Whoa. So apparently you just sat there and viewed the online list?

Jorge
05-01-2007, 03:06 PM
Yeah, but then when I did it again just now, it didn't refresh.

I'm confused.


Or on drugs.



Take your pick.

Nice observation Whore-Hey :pirate:

ZoNeSeeK
05-01-2007, 04:07 PM
I see that theres two general off-topic areas, is this just to split up misc posts to lighten the load a bit? Or was there another reason for it?

Jorge
05-01-2007, 04:17 PM
There was some discussion about it in the "Questions About the Site" thread. Basically, it's to kind of spread it out a bit so that the off-topic parts don't become the focus of the site. At least that's the impression I got.

Aaron
05-01-2007, 09:55 PM
Pretty much what Jorge said. We don't want there to be alot of fuss about it, like there was for AE at the .net. I figured this way it is so accessible that it won't seem special to anyone, and there is no post requirement, so it won't become a "goal". Savvy?

The board/skin/forums names.... it's all just the bees knees! :dance:

Matt
05-02-2007, 11:13 AM
I love how the little icon in PM's tells you if you replied or not.

ZoNeSeeK
05-02-2007, 03:38 PM
Yeah that makes sense - and its a good idea to have them spaced apart from a psychological point of view as it draws attention to the range of boards on the forum as people visually scan down the list.

Randall Flagg
05-02-2007, 07:00 PM
One can post a PM with an animated .gif but it's not permitted as a sig or av file.
Interesting.

Aaron
05-02-2007, 09:37 PM
No animated images are allowed in sigs and avs, due to the effect they have on some people's page loading. Check the FAQ for more info. :cool:

Patrick
05-03-2007, 04:46 PM

Yeah, that's helpful. :)

Matt,
I wonder if the insert hyperlink can be changed so that instead of a long URL showing up, the person who inserted has the option of for example labling the link: E-Bay?

Matt
05-04-2007, 08:34 AM
That was the next hack I was going to look for. I know that there is a way you can code it so it works out right but I would rather the button do the whole thing.

Its a great suggestion and totally in the works.

OchrisO
05-04-2007, 08:53 AM
[ url=www.vbulletin.com/forum]vBulletin Community Forums[ /url]


is the format, removing the whitespaces. You can also use the link button, and just put what you want the url to be called in the second instance of the url in the code it generates.

Test:

vBulletin Community Forums (www.vbulletin.com/forum)

Matt
05-04-2007, 08:55 AM
:drools:

Is it to soon in our relationship to tell you I love you Chris? :lol:

I am going to have Aaron put that post in the FAQ

Patrick
05-04-2007, 09:09 AM
To paraphrase Jules Winnfield, "Look at the big brain on Chris!"

The only problem with your middle google link is that the white spaces before url and /url need to be removed.

Off-Topic:

The version of The Stand in that link is the most beautiful SK book I've seen. Definitely my favorite.

On-Topic:

Glad to see the named link function working.

Jean
05-07-2007, 11:42 AM
don't know if it is precisely on topic, but it's something I have to say

mine, as the Mouse said, is a long and sad Tail.

When I first came to DT.net, I had no idea I would stay there forever, so I signed up, as I usually do, automatically, under my real name.

Jean, that is.

Very soon I realized that it was a big mistake. Everybody, quite oblivious of the fact that there are French names, too, took me for a lady in disguise, a damsel in distress... it was rather annoying... so someone advised me to PM an admin and ask for a name change.

So I did. In a couple of days I got a reply, saying that my case was handed over to whoever has the authority to undertake name changes.

Years passed.

Well, ok, not years - but not days, either.

In about three or four weeks it dawned upon me that I had acquired some kind of notoriety that would make any name change pointless. I PMed the same admin, thanked that (really very kind and obliging, by the way) person and said no further actions were necessary, or even desirable.

If you're still with me, here comes the glorious Part Two!

When I signed up with this site, I was so exhausted, both physically, mentally and emotionally - it was a real hard day's night - and, naturally, I spelled my name with a lowercase j.

It was a sorry sight. I was at a loss. Then, Fruno said I should contact Matt. I had a strong feeling of deja vu.

But! Here the similarities ended!

I don't know if it was with Matt a matter or seconds or minutes - I went to bed immediately I sent the PM - but when I awoke at dawn, the first thing I saw was my name looking as it should, and a friendly PM from Matt!

Sorry if it didn't exactly fit what this thread is about... but I like this story, and I love this site!

Patrick
05-07-2007, 11:52 AM
Yeah, Matt rocks.

Glad you're here, Jean.

that was beautiful Jean, it may sound stupid but this kind of appreciation really chokes me up sometimes. I guess its because I love seeing people happy.

Your story about kind of "falling through the cracks" is very common from what I have seen. Our main goal is to always be here for the members and address their concerns same day if possible.

The fact that it matters, and you noticed...and so much more. Thank you for this great post.

I turned off the PM length restriction. It's not really necessary, and it kept annoying me while trying to post longer PMs. Just figured I'd throw that out there.

If you've added someone to your buddy list, a little plus sign will show up next to their name in the Online List. I dig that.

Brice

Pretty cool! I refuse to add anyone to a buddy list though. I love all of you. :grouphug:

New Posts feature works as it really should. At TDT.net, it only shows new posts (= the ones you haven't read) once, and if you click it again, it's only the posts that appeared since your last click. And here I can click on New Posts till I am blue in the face - it will bring the same results till I finally get around to actually reading them. It is very important if you really want to follow new posts.

MonteGss

I'm not sure, they show up as a actual graphic on the boards.

I tend to not use them in a spoiler line cause it breaks it up.

The people. This is one of the nicest boards I've ever been to, and I've been to lots.


The last board I used to go to (Facepunch) had nasty (or should I say nazi) mods. You were banned for things you couldn't even imagine being seen as offensive. And then the assholes came. Well, point is that this is a laidback board with nice people and great mods.

I've also been to a few 40k related boards. They were nice, but the mods were stricter (sort of like the 40k universe I guess :/) and there was a lot of CHATSP33K.

This board just has it all. I don't feel 100% comfortable yet though, as I haven't read all 7 books. I'm still a little scared of spoilers :)

Matt
06-16-2008, 07:03 AM
That's really nice of you to say Hallvard and exactly what we were hoping for on the site.

Take you time to get acquainted and totally watch out for spoilers out here. It'll be great when you finish and you can jump into the many conversations about "the end" :lol:

Oh, THAT thing. :lol:

I think it only works if you upgraded to the new site-skin though.

I agree. The visitor message feature is pretty cool.
Cause you know, PMs and posts are not enough when you really want to stalk somebody.

They are only on the "users online" list if you have subscribed to a thread. I never noticed them until I had to test email, so I switched them to something cooler.

what's a users online list? i see them in the forums when i'm going thru unread threads. is that what you mean? they're so cool and much nicer than the blue ones.

Of course they are nicer than the blue ones.

To begin with, they are not blue.

"Currently active users" link at bottom left of the main forum screen. :fairy:

I'm sure they appear in "unread" as well.

And yes Jean, that was just for you. :couple:

I'd say the major random board coolness around here is the fact that Matt constantly tinkers with the site to make it better.

We love you, Matt! :wub:

no mr. smarty mcsmartass. i MEANT that it automatically turns it the color you last used. i know that you can choose any color - haven't you yet noticed that my favorite color is purple :doh:

i only found this out because i accidentally just hit it instead of pushing it to open it and choose a color.

so :P to you and i'm changing your name to smarty mcsmartass. :wtf:
and i'm not even gonna add the mr.
so :P again! and a :nana: too!

And what's with the underlined thread titles?? UGH!!!! UGH!!!! I HATE CHANGE!!!

Matt

Not sure what you mean Karen, none of that is changed. Exact same thing as it was before the change as far as I know.

Daghain

Yeah, the font looks the same for me. Are you sure it's not a setting in your browser?

Reputation points can be given by clicking the "Star" in the bottom left corner of every post. You can type a cute message or w/e and it will add points to the member's "Board Reputation" thereby increasing the amount of green boxes under your member name. If you hover the pointer over the green box it tells you the individuals current level of Reputation.

Kinda cool and different way to sort of PM, I guess. Just Random Board Coolness!!!! LOL
