Suggestions for Team-BHP from Team-BHPians

GTO · 20th December 2007, 15:25

@ Deepug : Thanks. We have made the appropriate changes, but only to the next survey (and not the current).

@ sathya : Unfortunately, that looks like a bug and an entire upgrade looks like the only way to solve it. But I can suggest a workaround:

Even if I click 'show all subscribed threads', it shows other threads as 'read entries'

Upon having this list displayed, you could sort by the post date.

gto - instead of giving people infractions/warnings for more than 2 smileys why not make it easier and just limit it i.e once they click the 3rd smiley a pop up comes and says max no of smileys reached?

hemanthisgreat · 20th December 2007, 18:29

gto- can the site pages be set to refresh themselves after a certain period of time.

ravradha · 26th December 2007, 15:28

In India we get a lot of free advise!

I agree with Reliance. But, what I had in mind is, if Team Bhpians can share real high quality practical suggestions, to make this a fun place to visit.

The increasing number of guests and members only show that this is one of the best place in the net. Can we make this more fun filled?

One thought which I had in mind was 'Chat', but do not know the tech limitations.

Sure the Mods also will appreciate the flow of ideas

Our previous forum software had the ability to distinguish regular text from smilies; unfortunately vbulletin doesnt.

Unnecessary load on the server. Best to manually refresh when you wish to.

Technocrat has already forwarded you to our Advice section. In reference to the chat suggestion, this has already been discussed before and is not a perfect fit for Team-BHP.

Yup, we sincerely appreciate the flow of ideas.

I just saw a nice enhancement on the board. Whenever a user receives an infraction, a small red clickable box is present against the post which a user gets an infraction on:

On clicking that link you'll see the reason for receiving an infraction:

Nice features mods. Way to go!!

Well, always the littlest things :-)

moralfibre · 29th December 2007, 17:39

Does that small Red box also show up if a user is banned against a post?

GTO · 29th December 2007, 18:23

Yup, it would certainly show in that case too.

As GTO said, it will show if the user has received an infraction (or an infraction that pushed the users points past 10 = Ban) for that particular post.

However, in certain cases, mods to infract / ban directly on a users profile (as opposed to a particular post), and in those cases the red rectangle will naturally not show up.

Mods a request - Can we have email ids at team-bhp. Atleast for senior team-bhpians, please. It will make it very easy for many of us, since i would prefer team-bhp emailing rather then gmail, hotmail which is too slow comapred to this site. Also since i am logged almost most of the time on team-bhp i will be able to receive the emails asap here, with out having to open gmail, etc to check my mails.

Also can we have a feature to make ourselves invisible on the forum? Please, it would be very helpful if you can make these things possible.

This may be very simple. While typing reply to a post, looks like Del key is not working for selected block delete, BS key works - is it a bug?

GTO · 31st December 2007, 13:45

@ BUSA : Not just yet. However, you can work your way toward this

@ Sathya_nars : That seems to be a problem with your browser / computer. Works fine on my laptop.

This is a common thing which i face, nothing to do with this site, since i face similar issues even in MS Word.
