#2316594 Q&A in 3.4 feedback

Posted by surinp3 on 04 October 2012 - 08:48 PM

On my forums, many times the title of a new topic is not really great, to say the least.
Or even if the title is great, the question is mainly always in the post and not the title.

That means when you are reading a topic, with a lousy title, you get to read the "best answer" before you see the question, which is in the first post.

I would suggest the "best answer"-post to be directly under the first post or even better have a setting choose above or below first post.


#2309767 Flash getting old. HTML5 for multiple uploads?

Posted by surinp3 on 17 September 2012 - 09:59 PM

Are there any plans on changing the advanced uploader from flash to HTML5?

Wondering since flash is getting old and not used as much as before and also HML5 is a much better option for the times to come.
Today flash is not directly supported by iOS nor Android anymore.

So... HTML5 instead?


#2251675 Remove warning option

Posted by surinp3 on 07 April 2012 - 11:49 PM

When issuing a warning to a member for any reason, I cannot find the option to remove the warning.

Say I give a warning to a member by mistake and want to remove it.
How is this done without using an SQL command?


#2251247 IP.Board & The Forum Will Be Dead Within 5 Years

Posted by surinp3 on 07 April 2012 - 12:58 AM

I think we see this phenomenon all around the world.

Bigger companies take over smaller businesses and grow even bigger.
Being the biggest in a country is not enough anymore. Big companies need to be big even internationally today.
But you still see the specialized, local shops in the villages and towns all around the world. :)

Same with the forums vs. social sites like Facebook and Twitter.

The biggest threat to Facebook and other social media is the fact that they do not have a niche.
The grow bigger and bigger and loose the meaning of the site.
I agree the social sites are very useful for many people, like myself for example.
I live in a country 8500 km from my relatives and friends. I use FB often. But its more a means of communication.

And therefore the biggest upside of forums, is just the same. Niche.
A forum today, with a strong niche and the market for it, will beat FB and any other social site easily.

So in my opinion you cannot compare the two.
It is like comparing a phone or email to your hobbies, interests or passions if you will.

Yay forums. :D


#2109178 Split posts

Posted by surinp3 on 07 May 2011 - 08:17 PM

Yes, this would greatly improve the splitting system.

Many times on my board I would like to split a topic, but with page after page of "ticking" off topic posts, this seldom happens.
It should be only one click and select "split all posts after selected post". Done.


#2043629 3.2 Wish list ...

Posted by surinp3 on 16 November 2010 - 11:46 AM

I just had an idea...

  • When clicking "View new content" or "active content" there should be a tab for All new content.

Like it is now, we have to click each tab to see new topics, new members, new help files, new whatever...
There should be an option to "view All new content" in one single tab.
