Gendou: Suggestions for Improvement
Link | by psoplayer on 2005-12-07 21:57:56
I wasn't real sure where to put this to be sure you would see it but I have been thinking and came up with a few things.
  • You may or may not have thought of this, but is there any way to implement "sticky" threads in this forum; that would be a good idea.
  • Also, in order to help in the uploading department, I thought, instead of one upload page, it might be possible to have a "Upload this Song!" link by each of the requests and when someone uploads the song, it automatically gets put in a directory with any other uploads for that one song so you can pick one from any you recieve.
  • You could possibly add another input box to the "Edit Profile" screen that would only appear when viewing someone's profile where we could write s few words about ourselves or maybe a pic by way of html as an actual "mini profile".
  • Lastly, a few columns could be added to the user list, such as being able to sort by number of posts or uploads instead of just the user's level.

Two more things (besides to bump this topic):
  • It might be helpful to have a separate section on the forum for just the mods so we can be sure that we will all see it, such as a topic like this (going practically unnoticed).
  • I don't know what changes have been made recently, but I just noticed tonight that the top menu bar doesn't look right in Firefox (OK in IE).

That's not really what I had in mind. I case you haven't noticed, your signature now appears in your profile, just like you suggested. What I have in mind is another field in your profile altogether that appears ONLY in your profile that can be used as a place to describe yourself or put a pic of yourself like you would in your profile on some other more standard forum, like a PHPbb.

Well, since this is the unofficial official unofficial suggestion thread, I'd like to add one as well. I'd like an option to see my past downloads. Just a simple list, doesn't even have to be linked or anything. The reason is that my harddrive is a mess like you wouldn't believe, and sometimes I don't put the files in the right place, so I think I need to download something I've already downloaded. This is a waste of your bandwidth and I feel guilty every time I do it, especially since I lack the money to provide donations like I should. If I could open a list, I could just hit find in the browser, see if something I'm looking for was already downloaded, and if so, then I can just run a search on my harddrive (takes a good 10 minutes at least with such a messy filesystem, versus about 5 to download on a bad day, 2 or so normally.) Then I only download the same file if I accidentally deleted it or something.

Just a thought anyway. I hate it every time I realize I've just downloaded something I already had.

Is it possible to make torrents out of all the songs on your database? It's hard to find a song that I like by randomly downloading.

Re: Gendou: Suggestions for Improvement

torrents: never
psoplayer: many of these ideas are on my list. i have finals this week. expect some code improvements late december, early january.

question/poll for you all: would it be acceptable to display the following fields to the world:
- "my uploads" (# of files uploaded and # of points assigned)
- "my requests" (# of current requests, maybe even # of past requests)
- "my posts" (# of visible posts)


Re: Gendou: Suggestions for Improvement

I wouldn't have any problems with any of those (seeing how one is already visible). I have finals too, so I hear you on that one.

@HACKED its called the reverse button

other than that the only thing that sucks about the forum is that people just spam. There's never any decent discussion especially in the anime forum. Is what anime character you want to have sex with important? No. I have to scroll through dozens of posts to read something that has even a slight point to it.

In Opera, the Transfers panel simply gives you a history of the downloads that you've previously done. @ Nazo 「謎」
And I have to agree with you on that nay decent discussion comment. @ -andrew-

@-andrew-: If that bothers you, the best solution is to start new threads with more interesting premises that people can reply to. I know there will always be people lacking enough intellect for an intelligent discussion hanging around a forum, but when a good idea comes up for people to actually talk about, it will stay on top on its own (eg: The Depression Thread). If you leave the 5-word-posters to their devices, you end up getting the Anime and Game sections. More intelectually capable posters end up creating what you see in the Physics and Other sections. Basicly, do something yourself. Start some threads. Little will change on its own.

Edit: Of course, I'm not blaming you, and I agree with your point. I just wanted to make mine.

Well, I'm glad to hear that Opera is getting wide-spread enough that you assume I'm using it (and I am.) However, this is hardly a solution. Firstly, it assumes that you NEVER clear your transfers window. Ever. Lol, if you even glanced at my downloads folder, you'd understand why even if I never did clean up the transfers window I wouldn't find anything in there anyway. Anyway, what if you wanted to check from elsewhere for example? There are still many situations where even if you never did clean your transfers window that still won't work.

That said, personally, I don't even think about it. I remove files from the list as soon as I do anything with them, and sometimes I forget to test them for days on end so just remove them from the list because I know I'll never get around to it.


BTW, I guess it's ok with me if all that info is shown, but, it's kind of embarassing when people see some of them, so I'm not super-happy with the idea, just, it does kind of make a little sense.

like i said before, there will be no download history. thats just another MySQL table the database could do without, and its not a critical feature at all.

however, with the new song rating system in place, there is a possibility for implementing a "favorite song list" or something like that...
