Board Mod Suggestions?

Dewey dB · **Posted:** Wed Feb 17, 2010 4:07 pm

I'm killing time at work lately, and have some time to work on the board, let me know if there is anything in particular you would like to see changed / added / modded / etc.

I don't personally have anything i'd like changed...but just once again wanted to thank you for the site!! I've put in more posts here than I have on any other board in all of my days of interwebbing.

Thanks again and glad to have you back around!

Could you start working on a virtual world design. I would like this forum to be completely interactive. All 5 senses and all.

Siiiick! Looks extra cool with a pair of 3D glasses! Guess I should get on a new production forum banner then....

A link at the bottom that brings you back to the subforum you were just in... it takes so long to scroll all the way back to the top sometimes :teef:

That and a licorice dispenser in the roof.

For real this time though. It would be pretty handy if you figured out an easier way to do Soundcloud embeds.

sorry for openin a new thread but soundcloud embeding doesnt seem to work properly;

how about this:

(soundcloud)compact71/back2basics(/soundcloud)

instead of this:

(soundcloud)back2basics(/soundcloud)

()=[]

its obvious that more common tracknames create these unwanted links to other tracks with the same name...

cheerz

That's what i thought at first too, but then i realized that soundcloud doesn't let that happen. If you upload a track with the same filename as someone else it will create a track id that is "username-trackname" rather than just "trackname". I could look into making the board parse the full link, but that would just break everyone's existing soundcloud links on the board, so i am very hesitant to change it at all at this point.

Not sure why it is giving you trouble, quite frankly i think it is their server, it has been acting pretty wack lately. How about we find a new service that lets us post tracks with embedded players for free and add that one as well? Any suggestions?

EDIT: or the more lengthy solution, i build one myself, and host the stuff myself. This might end up blowing through the amount of available bandwidth i have though, but would be a pretty cool project.

Are you able to make it so when you search new posts, you can get brief preview of the threads when you hover your mouse over them?

Maybe in the future, a chat below all the forums and/or the possibility of IM?

These are both possible to implement, but i have gotten mixed feedback on whether or not most people would like to seem them implemented. I will put it to a vote, and if you win, i will implement.

Nick Bliss · **Posted:** Fri Feb 19, 2010 12:50 pm

Woo! The first thing I mentioned I'd like to see the most. Saves me time from clicking into a thread I'd probably not have much interest in once getting into it.

Sorry, i just looked at this again, the only mods available on the net are for PHPBB2.x and VBulliten. This forum is built on PHPBB3.x and since i don't have the faintest clue on how to port old mods to new forums, I'm gonna steer clear of this one until there is a proper mod released by a better coder than myself.

Also, when this was mentioned in the past there was VERY strong opposition voiced to it, so i am very hesitant to implement it at all, unless there is a "enable/disable" feature.

cheers,
dewey

Not that it really maters but if you are looking to do some things, here are just a few I remember seeing, Im sure there are more. The few posted below should either be moved or possibly deleted due to dead links.
