Hey guys,

Newschoolers will once again be updated over the summer. We will be fixing the video and picture sections, cults, reviews and articles.

Among the changes are:

  • Next & Back buttons for pictures

  • Videos will load in the NS window (you can still download them)

  • Cults will have better member management features. We also want to host some cult related games over the winter.

  • Reviews and articles will have better rating systems so the best member content will get better exposure.



I also wish to do some changes to the forums. Among those are:

    Fix quoting by letting you select a section to quote.
  • Fix My Threads to load threads that have been moved.



Does anybody have any comments they would like to make about changes to any of these sections?

--

Boobies!

I like the colors the way they are now. It makes it easy to tell when mods and stuff are on.

Create an "Orientation" for new members, so the forums aren't clogged with people asking how to do simple things.

I wonder if it would be a good idea to just have member number instead of post count

I also like the idea of rating peoples karma

that would be horrible. if you edited your initial question then you would get people's old responses to come out as complete jibberish

I agree with that, but Staffers or maybe mods could re-work peoples posts if they asked them to....Such as mine, the 06-70 Ski's....I wanted to take the original pictures I posted out of my start-thread so the same pictures didn't have to be loaded on every page. That type of thing...

make it so that you have to have a minimum number of words to make a commment on pictures etc. to stop people from trying to get first post and just posting "1st"

karma totally destroyed the ebaumsworld.com
forums until they took them off

so many people bitched about the reps that there was usually like six threads at one time about the karma.

they cause a lot of shit between members

Maybe delete a thread you made or edit it, something like that.

And i agree on switching the yellow star to the people who havent made a profile

we need scroll bars around the images linked in threads. they pop up twice the size of my screen, and there is nothing i can do about it.

post editing is a no go, and the karma system is a great idea.

oh i just remembered the other thing i forgot.

it would be nice to be able to search through my 10,000 messages to find something. with gmail you can search through your mail, and i think it would b great if ns could work out something like that.

It would be cool if that button on the login page that says "continue as ____" (whatever your name is) actually worked

Better mamanagement features may include things like: grand masters being able to remove threads, mass messaging to members, # of members (currently inaccurate)

As far as cult games, it was an idea we had a while back. Having different contests/competitions between the different cults. Where each of the main cults could appoint some members to compete in various comps (trivia, pswar?, spelling bee? hah. who knows)

Once the cults get reworked and things are running smoothly. I'd like to arrange this and get things happening on this.

Hey Paul,
I was going to send you an email about this but don't want to make your life any more hectic so I'll just post here.

The regional forums need a complete makeover, with NS's expansion I think that they should be a lot more used than they currently are. First off some of the regional divisions are fucked up, most of the European forums for example, and there's quite a few places that have been left out entirely. I'd like to see a forum redivision and also a new way of navigation to actually get to the forum you want. I've always thought it would be dope to have a rotating globe animation or at least a world map from which you could select your desired regional forum.

It would also be interesting to start developing more of a community aspect directly into regional forums... like regional news or something. Have to think more about that one.
