had to be made

can you add some sort features to the inbox?

11/1/2007 7:58:28 AM

keep em coming....we'll take a look at all of the requests and try to implement as many as we can.

11/1/2007 10:50:45 AM

oh my, they live!

11/1/2007 10:51:52 AM

can we have a scroll bar for the chatterbox? so that we can see more than 4 messages at a time?
Also, can you make the usernames in the chatterbox link to the user's profile?


and


this one is a big one. It's something that I've been asking for for years, only to be ignored as far as I know. (Even a PM saying "OK, you're all fixed up there buddy" would suffice).........
Can you update my email address for this username? I graduated from NCSU years ago, and the NCSU email address that you all have for me is no longer valid. I know it seems really small and insignificant....but....this means that I can't retrieve my password if I forget it.

1. What is your policy on Ads going to be for non premies? Do you support pop ups?
2. Do you plan on changing the pricing for premie and/or our privileges?
3. What is your definition of html abuse or do you plan to keep that issue up to the mods?
4. Chatterbox, for the love of god please put a scroll bar in there or do something.
5. Betty or Veronica?
6.How hands on or hands off do you plan to be?
7. Could you give us links to your other sites, we promise we won't invade them
8. how familiar are you with NCSU and its traditions
9. Ginger or Mary Anne?

put the last 5 posts of a page on the top of a new page when its made, so its easier to continue the conversation. other boards do this and it makes page transitions and conversations flow better.

11/1/2007 11:06:55 AM

no one cares about the 49th post

11/1/2007 11:08:22 AM

exactly. this would change that.

11/1/2007 11:09:26 AM

Also, how do you feel about the 17 page thread in feedback forum attempting to fire a mod

11/1/2007 11:26:27 AM

When you are replying to a multi-page thread, in the preview frame at the bottom of the reply window, make it default to the last page of the thread instead the first post of the first page.

11/1/2007 11:37:59 AM

please make your questions valid. bullshit will be removed

and there shouldnt be any more pop ups...that has been addressed

It was addressed before we found out about the new owners, the policy could have shifted or they were just waiting to change it as soon the the announcement was official.

11/1/2007 12:10:24 PM

if you've been running things since march, why did you wait until now to say something?

something like this would be great, because in a fast moving thread if your post ends up near the bottom of the page you know nobody is gonna end up reading it, but you don't want to post the same thing on the next page either...


Oh and try not to change the look of TWW much if you do change things, I don't want this place to start looking like every single other blah BB out there...

i think just making the chatterbox a fixed height and tossing in 'overflow:scroll;' will solve that issue

11/1/2007 1:22:48 PM

can i be a mod again now that crazyj sold his share of the care

11/1/2007 1:29:03 PM

three things that would make this site better

user-given ability to delete thread within say, a half hour of posting (self moderation)
ability to delete PMs permanently
fire beardawg because he is just terrible and 17 pages of people agree

I disagree. It gets confusing when other forums do this. If whatever the 49th post was is that important, it will be posted again on teh next page anyhow.

yeah. same here. i have swapped my email address.

and my other name, the email was a friends, i dont talk to her anymore.. many people use that name, so if one of them switches the password. i am screwed. i need to set the email to one we use.

11/1/2007 1:54:52 PM

more contests like the Egg Hunt would be fun

11/1/2007 2:28:45 PM

Make it so when I'm getting a PM and reply, I can the conversation all on one page (like a conversation) instead of having to switch from my Inbox to Outbox.

11/1/2007 2:33:24 PM

Bring back search for keywords against posts. Now you can only search for keywords in titles, but back in the day you could search the whole thread for keywords.

[Edited on November 1, 2007 at 2:46 PM. Reason : s]

You can do this... just empty out your deleted folder.

I'm wrong... you used to be able to do this.

[Edited on November 1, 2007 at 3:06 PM. Reason : things change]

11/1/2007 3:05:06 PM

1)scrollbar for chatterbox
1b)if not that, chatterbox history on the right side of all screens (premium only of course)
2)new mods election
3)premium users see NO ADS - that what we thought we were paying for.
4)if suspended, users receive email stating length of suspension, and brief explanation.
5)auto-asterisk of racial slurs and bigotry in thread titles - keep us out of the news.
6)is there a way to make us non-google-able?
7)make polls an available thread creation option
8)30 minute change of thread title ability
9)30 minute delete thread ability for thread creator
10)if suspended, allow login and access to PM box, and feedback forum for conflict resolution


That's all I've got for now. Thanks for your consideration,

and a little warning before archiving threads and/or PMs would be fucking brilliant

11/1/2007 3:58:04 PM

Bring back the old Wolf up at the top. This fire-skull-wolf thing looks like shit.

And like others have said, the ability to change your email address- because that has been necessary for pretty much everyone who has graduated.

there was a span of time where we did see ads as premies - just wanted to reinterate that i don't like them.

it'd be nice if it did, though.

11/1/2007 4:35:12 PM

Please update the search funtion. It's nearly useless.

agreed

also agree with chatterbox scroll


a lot of the other stuff i think would have unintentional consequences, and furthermore would just drastically alter TWW, which i don't think many people want.

i THINK that is pretty much marko's deal. i'm sure nael can confirm/deny.

Quote :

"auto-asterisk of racial slurs and bigotry in thread titles"

fucking horrible idea. that is not the road that people want TWW to go down. furthermore, it would be impossible to effectively implement. there are so many words that would have to be blocked, and then people would just slightly change the spelling and/or include a special character or something, or just invent "TWW slang" to mean the same things, and from an admin perspective, it would be impossible to keep pace.

that and censoring posting is just totally incompatible with the nature of the website.

11/1/2007 7:23:23 PM

can you fix the school tool and the books sections?

do people even use those sections anymore?

11/1/2007 7:30:48 PM

Don't screw up this place with a bunch of damn avatars and such. Don't try to merge it with your other holdings. We have never been part of PartyInCollege or CollegeWeb or CampusBlender or whatever other sucky alternatives are out there.

11/1/2007 8:10:44 PM

...or if you do do avatars, give users the option of whether or not to display them.

terrible idea.

I know this is a suggestion thread, and I hate to throw salt in here.

BUT

I think some of you are missing the point of a suspension. It's to remove you from TWW aside from browsing.

terrible ideas.

that said, i don't think i've ever suspended anyone who didn't know without me having to spell it out what the reason for the suspension was.


and if i suspend you, it's probably gonna be for a while (more than a day or two), and I might never unsuspend you. I'm not very trigger happy, though.

11/1/2007 10:12:24 PM

get rid of the auto renewal for premium.


that shit is gay

11/1/2007 10:17:55 PM

to answer some questions:

1. there will not be ads for premie

2. there will not be popups anywhere. if there are, let me know and i will get rid of them

3. we will not merge tww with any other site. we like it the way it is.

4. all of the suggested improvements aren't hard to do technically. we will talk it over with the mods and come up with a list for the users to vote on. maybe that can be the new poll?

5. wolf graphic is marko's deal, not ours


keep the suggestions coming
