New Forums (To Do List)

(1/3) > >>

Morgul:
Well, I've found a few things that need to be done on the new forums, so I figures I'd list them, and then take requests for things you'd like to see changes. Here's my list so far:

Form Changes Needed:

* Smiley Themes - [size 8pt]We actually need to install some.[/size] (DONE)
* Color Theme - [size 8pt]We currently have some installed, but we need to make one that fits our website style.[/size] (DONE)
* Calander Feature - [size 8pt]SMF has this ability, but we need to configure it, and use it.[/size] (DONE)

SMF Feature Requests:

* Save Draft - [size 8pt]The ability to safe a draft for a set amount of time.[/size]
* Auto Save Draft - [size 8pt]Like G-Mail, it save a draft every few seconds, to make sure you don't lose your post.[/size]
Any other things?

[edit: added contingencyplan's suggestion about the calander, and draft feature.][/list][/list]

contingencyplan:
While it's an outright feature req for the forums software, I'd like to see the ability to save draft posts. I think we could have it save them for, say, 14 days (since the idea is that it's a short-term, "I don't have time to finish my thought but I'm not ready to post yet" deal), then automatically delete it. The button could be at the bottom, next to Post and Preview.

Also, I noticed that SMF allows for a calendar feature. That may be useful for scheduling events, or at least letting people know about them (e.g., IRC chat sessions, etc.). I definitely see that being a major thing later on, when we have a fanbase - "Come hang out with the people who made your favorite game! Also, get more info about the tournament next month!"

I also agree with the things you said, morgul.

contingencyplan:
Another thing: When people register, automatically send them an email or PM welcoming them and asking them to post in the introduction thread.

Morgul:
I'd love to do that. No clue how. Feel free to poke around untill you find it...

SMF already has an option for this, and it is already enabled... however, we have no control over the message that is sent at this time. It looks like there should be an SMF mod to be able to control that; we just have to find it.
