Want more features?

[Keefe]

I have been planning on doing some upgrades on these forums soon and I wanna know if anyone would like to request any changes or features? SPAM

I am open to anything...I can even add a calander if everyone wants it...

Some of the pre-made mods are:

-Full features calendar
-Chat room
-Pop email access from IM inbox
-msn message center
-add birthdays
-posting stats

Thanks

Lottery number Generator, one that gives the winning number very time SPAM:o

[Keefe]

I'll work on that. SPAMI have no guarantees though.

You have to splt it with me when you win..

[Simo]

By calander do you mean one that you can write appointments in and stuff? SPAMIf so that would be so cool.
A B'day thingy would also be good.

Im not sure about the IM email access thingy though? SPAMDoes anyone make use of the IMs that much?

Ive used them a couple of times but I dont think there usage in general warrents makng them accessable by email.

MSN messager center could be handy though.

My 2c

Ok. But you must spend some of it on a new server for the forum. The one is slow (or the server connection is)

[Keefe]

hmm..

where are you located uranium?

Does this server seem slow to others?

[Uranium-235]

I mean it's not like super slow (like if I was on 56k). It's just slower then alot of other forums I visit.

I'm in Texas
I'm on a ADSL Connection SPAM(well our server is)

[Keefe]

What part of the site is slow to you?

Posting a messag, loading news pages, or what?

[Uranium-235]

everything. Ok, it's not "slow" just "slower then other forums I visit"

[Keefe]

Ok, thats probally cuz its not on a sql database.

[Uranium-235]

This isn't a mysql database bb? eew *shivers*

i saw a b´day cake when my b´day was, but i´d like the chatroom and a netsmog freemail thingy would be cool :o

[Uranium-235]

free popmail? I would take one order of that to go!

[Propig]

Chat room is good. It would be nice to say hello in real time when others are on line. Birthdays are okay. I like celebrating. I don't need another email address, but there may be others out there who would be interested.

By the way. You guys are doing a fantastic job. I keep coming back because even though I don't get all the help I need right now, I know that in the future you will have many more people posting questions and answers.

Yes, add a New Members Forum, for new members to ask questions and gain familiarity with the board. Would also permit interaction of existing members with new members and I can't stress enough how important that will be to the orderly growth of your board.

I doubt a chat room would be used that much - if at all, certainly isn't on other forums. To me personally, a chat room is about the nearest thing to autistic behavior that I can think of.

But a poll might help you decide.

[SinnopS]

yeah jinx, right on! Currently, the 'general' board is under 'tech' which i would think means general tech questions.however, its more used for general chit chat which belongs in another section on its own. i would make the change but i dont wanna go doin stuff on keefe now SPAM;D

[cc_dex]

I like the MSN and the POP email thing too! SPAMAlso I find the page slow when the catagorys load or opening a message with a million replies (like this one). SPAMI am on Shaw @ home cable internet service in Calgary, alberta Canada. SPAMHere are my test results.

[SinnopS]

what is that your using to test your speed?

[cc_dex]

Go to bandwidthplace.com and go speed test.

[cc_dex]

sinnops what hack did you use to boost your posts so high?

[SinnopS]

the magic of being an admin :)

looks as thou keefe put it back :(

[Keefe]

Yeah I had to set it back... it messed up some crap I was doing!

[SinnopS]

i was just tryin to be crafty SPAM:-[

heres an idea..can u make it so we can have custom titles? that would be really cool SPAM:P

[Keefe]

Sure I can do that...

Might take a little while though...

I post when I have it done!

[SinnopS]

well i guess thats all we can ask for then :)

[cc_dex]

ohh ohh can i be Emperor?

[thetechfreak]

how about a quiz/challenge zone...like the really good one on techfreak.co.uk which is being closed down :(

j/jk keefe, get ure butt online we need to talk about it, btw, thx for reminding me about netsmog, i nearly forgot SPAM :'(
