Here are a few suggestions and contributions.

(New Join button)

I suggest that the Pink title bars of each section be changed to dark grey or Maroon.

Perhaps a 'tech talk' section? I love my technology and I think there are others that might like to discuss it too?

lol there's no harm in being nice.
(because people disagree in one area doesn't mean they have to disagree everywhere else)

I thought of a couple more issues.

- You need to include an automatic image resizing script (larger images affect the site when attached.

- You need to include a script so that the 'submit' box is greyed out after clicking so it will avoid double posts.

(I'll pm you the necessary script now)

- Change the speech boxes to look more like they are coming out of the avatar rather than from the person below.

- have every other speech bubble be a different colour.
(For example, Dark grey, light grey, dark grey, light grey)

Wow what a schedule! What do you do? Your profile says you're still looking for a job.

==================

MORE suggestions

(make the username a different colour so that when it says "User said ..." it shows that the user name is clickable.)

Add the page numbers on the 'top' of a thread as well as the bottom.

Add a 'report thread' button for spam

Add a 'report user' for spam classifieds.

amnesia said Another suggestion. Some ...

Another suggestion.

Some people keep posting the SAME classified so that theirs can be shown at the top.

How about a (1) Classified per day.

Or a 'banning' rule. (those who try to do that get banned for a week)

jauntie said suggestion ...

I'm not sure if this is happening already (sounds strange to not know since I'm here almost all day, clicking away lol) but is it possible to arrange things so that when clicking on a recent post it takes you DIRECTLY to that post, instead of to the beginning of the thread it's in? That would save having the 'thumb' through all the pages to get to the post, assuming there IS more than one page which often there is.

Thanks for reading this.

Happy Happy said Amnesia -Jauntie, Taking Away Classifieds from Recent Posts ...

Who ever wants to look up classifieds can go to a separate mode. So, the suggestion is to clear Ads from Recent Posts. Therefore, we serve both sides; topic seekers and Ads seekers separately.

Salam

jauntie said Happy ...

What I mean is, when you click on a recent post the 'click' jumps you straight to that particular post (provided that post is in a thread which is only 1 page long).

If the thread is more than 1 page when you 'click' on the recent post you want to read, it jumps you to the top of the first page of the thread and NOT to the post you clicked on.

If you can understand what I'm trying to say lol

 

Happy Happy's picture

Happy Happy said Yes Jauntie, I do endorse your suggestion ...

I’m with your suggestion. In fact I suggested the same opinion of yours, above on my second or third post here on Ql, 6 weeks ago.

I was just adding another suggestion in my previous note to filter Ads from Recent Posts. Both are useful, but have separate audience sometimes.

Sorry for the misunderstanding I created.
Salam

jauntie said No probs happy happy ...

I just thought I probably hadn't explained properly - feeling a tad languid here and assumed I wasn't making any sense :D

*yawns and stretches and thinks it's probably time to take book to bed*

Happy Happy said Jauntie...at least you can take book to bed! ...

I'm sitting here as lazy as couch potato, barely able to yawn..:)) but very relaxed though. It was a long working day.

Enjoy life

jauntie said well, happy happy ...

don't tell another living soul, but I usually fall asleep with my reading glasses still on and the book in disarray. shhhhhhh

Happy Happy said Jauntie...You're So Cute..:) ...

Hushh hushh, aint't tellin no one..:))) keeping it under wraps of 10000 Qlers..:))

Sweet sweet dreams

amnesia said Nice suggestions guys. I ...

Nice suggestions guys. I also suggested that by pm to Qatari.
It would be nice if you went to a new thread and it opened up the first post, but if you're revisiting it, it starts from the last post you read.

Is anyone else having issues with avatars?

catch you

I will disclose your conspiracy

 

lynnie's picture

lynnie said I think that when you click ...

I think that when you click on a recent comments on the left it shouldn't take you to page 1 of all the post if there are 8 pages. It should take you to page 8 and the exact comment that you clicked on. If you have been keeping up with that forum topic you don't want to scroll through all of the posts you already read. If you haven't been keeping up with the post then you can scroll through all you want. I think it would work better. Any one else agree?

Also, who reads these posts? Do they actually take into account our suggestions?
