Forum Suggestions
 
If you have any suggestions to improve the quality of this forum, post them here. Also, if you have any board suggestions (adding/removing/merging), definitely let me know.

Please put any suggestions regarding the chat room here:
http://www.victoryroad.net/showthread.php?t=1882

- Moderator/administrator promotion. Ask through PM or the Staff topic.
- New topics. Don't be afraid to make your own topic.
- Total rearrangement of the board. Two words: eight hours.

Things I might approve:
- Changing forum rules.
- Setting a topic as sticky.

Things planned:
- Adding more sub-boards.

Things I have recently changed:
- Enabled topic icons.
- Added smilies.
- Added additional themes.
- Changed signature policy. See Announcements.
- Changed forum rules.
- Added board images.

You're just getting ideas from what happened at Heat Street.

I'm sorry, but I don't think I can do that with phpBB...unless I mess with the database.

(just in case you ignored my PM that I told you to ignore)

A Battle Me Now board to organise friendly Pokémon battles!

Cat333Pokémon November 2, 2009 11:10:01 PM

Re: Forum Suggestions
 
I really like the idea of it and may implement it when I do my next updates (adding a couple more affiliates and fixing some small grammatical typos).

Cat333Pokémon November 3, 2009 08:10:58 PM

Battle Now! has been implemented. I will now make an announcement about it.

I really didn't know where to post this but- How kome klicking on someone's username doesn't take you directly to thier profile. It would make life easier. So far, it's the only thing I see wrong or bad in this forum. I know you kan track users down, but it would save much more time just klicking on their username and bringing up their profile like that...

The "Profile" button is located at the bottom of every post. It will take you to the user's profile. However, clicking the username was something I planned on implementing.

lmao @ "Cat likes to give everyone he talks with a mod/assistant mod status" and negative post counts 0.0 hmm this is a tough one, you know how you changed the color scheme recently? Perhaps you could make different ones (maybe even with a different banner at the top) and in the UCP or somewhere else have a drop down menu where users could choose from the different themes. An example would be http://www.lugia.us/ they have a theme option on the right hand panel, but then again that's for the main page so I'm not sure if you could do the same thing for a forum :(

Cat333Pokémon November 6, 2009 08:00:17 PM

Re: Forum Suggestions
 
The forum is a Simple Machines one, and, as I don't have an account there, I can't see if it has different themes. But I know what you're talking about. I do have a few more installed, but they are disabled due to updating purposes.

As for the main site (and many other sites), a styleswitcher is not something I have planned soon, because I honestly have no idea how to make one (but I'd hope it's just a simple change of stylesheet.css).

oOOooh do you think we're going to learn anymore website stuff in CS or do you think we're going to be sticking with C++ all 4 years 0.0? Also I just came up with something else you might be able to do somehow: make links open in new windows? xD

Cat333Pokémon November 6, 2009 09:01:42 PM

Re: Forum Suggestions
 
I think we'll have C++ the whole time. I might get a minor in something for Web Development.

The new links one might be doable. I'd have to find
Code:

<a href="...">
and change it to include
Code:

target="_blank"

Amethyst November 6, 2009 09:31:49 PM

Re: Forum Suggestions
 
oOOooh yeah if Web Development can be a minor I might even consider taking it lol. Onoz not target="_blank"!! I always thought that was a weird way to tell the browser to open a new window haha I hope you can find it eventually :3

i think you should get new badges (make them gym leaders)

Cat333Pokémon November 6, 2009 10:17:21 PM

Re: Forum Suggestions
 
Well, I could shift the gym leaders on the Moderator badge each month. I need to get newer ones though. How about Gold (Assistant Moderator), Chuck (Moderator), and Lance (Administrator)?

Magmaster12 November 7, 2009 02:26:23 AM

Re: Forum Suggestions
 
I think that would be pretty cool but what do you mean by changing it every month?

Cat333Pokémon November 7, 2009 09:45:28 AM

Re: Forum Suggestions
 
Changing which trainer appears on the badge

Luxray13579 November 7, 2009 12:14:50 PM

Re: Forum Suggestions
 
that would be cool even though it would not apply to me until I get to be a mod. Next time I wont TRIPLE post 'cause the problem was I didn't know how to edit and I stopped using Luigi so much. Now I have good spelling and punctuation too. Anyway that is a good idea cat.

You should make a brag topic under tournament for everyone (mostly Pinky and I).

Can you make it so that it opens links in a new tab? When I click a link on these forums it goes to the page on the same tab, but somewhere else (like PokeCommunity) opens links in a separate tab/page.

Depending on your browser, you there is a way to open new tabs for links. For example, I use FireFox and when I click the center button on my mouse it opens the link in a new tab.

In Chrome you hold Ctrl, but I'd like it if it opened in another tab automatically (I can never remember to use ctrl -_-)

Nice eye.

Cat. I have a suggestion. I was wondering if you could move the Media forum from Pokemon to General. That way, we would have a place to post ALL media, not just Pokemon media. That seems like it would make more sense to me.

Cat333Pokémon November 15, 2009 08:53:46 PM

Yeah, I've got a few other stuffs related to other things (Kirby, LoZ, Mario) that I'd like to post here.

Yoshizard November 22, 2009 05:02:39 AM

Re: Forum Suggestions
 
I have another suggestion. How about this. For every post, that's not in the Game Corner or /b/uizel of course, gets you some Pokedollars. You can then use these Pokedollars to buy things like exclusive adoptables, little symbols by your name, or other things. This just popped in my head a little while ago.

We need a spoiler box were you need to click on a box marked spoiler and it'll show the spoiler which is basically were you put spoilers or lots off information to reduce the sizes of posts.

Cat333Pokémon November 22, 2009 09:39:36 AM

Re: Forum Suggestions
 
A spoiler box actually wouldn't be hard because there are phpBB scripts for that, ready to install.

But Yoshizard's idea would be a massive coding project. I'd have to take two databases, which are currently independent, and make them interact with each other.

Could be a nice project for winter break, though. I've already got a couple other simple things to do, liking fixing some coding problems and doing serious uploading of my SoulSilver LP.

Ningamer November 23, 2009 07:40:12 AM

Re: Forum Suggestions
 
While looking at your 'Serebii Clone' topic, I got this idea. It might take a while though! XD
Basically, it's a big Pokédex, with locations, base stats etc. (Just like Serebii then :lol: )
BUT! Members of the forums can add any extra information to the pages, hopefully making the 'Dex even more informative than Bulbapedia! And you trust us people, right? You let up post news for the front page, and that hasn't been spammed yet (since I got here at least...)

Cat333Pokémon November 23, 2009 07:44:19 AM

Re: Forum Suggestions
 
Only problem: Bulbapedia already lets you do that. However, that doesn't mean that something like a forum Pokédex couldn't be started. Of course, only mods could actually edit posts, but anyone can reply with modifications. But it would be original. I haven't seen any other sites try it.

Ningamer November 23, 2009 07:49:28 AM

Re: Forum Suggestions
 
*points at self* Bulbapedia n00b!

Though it would take quite a few posts, with the maximum limit of 288900 characters. (Why so random? There's probably some obvious reason.)
OR you could do it like the Pokénews and have a separate page on the website, with a post for each Pokemon (and little [+] boxes so the page wouldn't get too big).
Just an idea though, and it's pretty flawed to be honest! :lol:

Cat333Pokémon November 23, 2009 08:02:20 AM

Re: Forum Suggestions
 
Hmm, I'm actually thinking about expounding on this idea. I think the character limit was originally lower. Someone wanted it higher so I added some numbers. Then it was too high (a thread in the garbage, Count to a Million, proves this), so I lowered it down.

But 288K characters should be fine for a Pokédex entry. Most (complete) Pokédex FAQs are only a couple times larger than that.

Justjack91 November 30, 2009 02:49:27 PM

Re: Forum Suggestions
 
I have one suggestion...though I don't know how complicated it would be for you Cat.

You know how on Facebook you receive an e-mail letting people know you have replies for your status? Well, we have a mail system on this forum, so I was thinking there could be the option of a notification that your thread/post has replies after it.

Even harder would be to set so that you know there are replies and not that you have 15 messages in your inbox about all those replies, but it would make things really slick on here.

Again, I don't know how complicated this would be since a big thread could cause problems for the system to handle the number of posts going to all the different members. Could just be for threads you posts though.

Just an idea.
:ugeek:

Cat333Pokémon November 30, 2009 03:17:00 PM

This site already has that features. Be sure it's enabled in your user settings to have it default. To get replies on one post, check the box "Notify me when a reply is posted", right above the Submit button.

I've been to a few other forums and most of them have a "quick reply" feature: a small text box at the end of each topic that lets you type in your reply and click post without having to go to a separate page to post. I kinda grew attached to this and after checking the user control panel twice I didn't see an option for it, unless I'm blind.
I was wondering if you could get the same thing into these forums, if it isn't a big hassle.

The new forum software being installed later this month comes with that feature. This board actually has some code installed already to allow for using quick reply (which it used to have), but when I installed a new theme, the feature was lost.

I'd like a way to mass unsubscribe to threads. Old ones build up quickly.

You can disable subscriptions on new threads on the User Control Panel. You can also remove all subscriptions (with a Select All box) on there.

James February 18, 2010 07:07:44 AM

I stopped caring about subscribing to boards. I just go to my email and delete over 250 spam emails. -.-

Jaredvcxz February 18, 2010 02:13:13 PM

I go to a forum where you can go to the CP and choose colors, fonts, and such and they will automatically be added to your post. Can we get something like this?

Cat333Pokémon February 18, 2010 05:01:29 PM

That would be a nice feature to have if I understand it right. Search vBulletin.org for your idea and see if you can find it.

Just please don't ask to customize profiles. Too much abuse there.

Jaredvcxz February 18, 2010 05:17:26 PM

Meh, I suck at customizing profile colors anyway... You should have seen the crappy job I did in Pokezam... So much Pink ;_;

SK February 19, 2010 07:05:55 PM

There was an Arcade at the old PokeZam Forums that even gave the winners trophies under their names if they had the highest score in something... Maybe we could transfer PZ's arcade to VR or make a whole new one here? ;)

Cat, I noticed something minor that you might want to change (if you even can). On the chatbox at the top of the homepage, when you scroll up to see the previous posts, and someone posts something new, it automatically takes you back to the bottom. This can be very annoying when you are trying to read something someone else has said, and people keep posting new things. I just thought I should bring that up.

It really is incredibly annoying, I know. I'm not sure if he can, though I don't think it would be that hard (it should be pretty simple Javascript crap).

I didn't program that thing. I'm focusing more on the chat program than the forum chat due to the latter's issues.

I say the adoptables should be like normal Pokemon.
As they level up, their stats get raised and they learn new moves.
And it would be interesting if you could have your own adoptables battle other people's adoptables.

Cat, you would never lose....

I have brought up that possibility, though its hard to say whether or not it will bear any fruit. I'm currently working on something similar, or will be in about a month.

We should have an Arcade section, there could be a tournament sticky and threads regarding the arcade could go there.

I have 2 things from another site I go on.

User titles basicly something to write under the user name or avatar and people with infraction aren't aloud to change it and banned users have it in Japanese.

Blog entires basicly photo albums without the photos I guess.

I won't be allowing custom user titles at the moment, but maybe I will in the future. The Japanese thing is pretty clever.

CloneCharizard suggested the blog feature a couple months ago. It's not all that difficult to add, but it could be another thing for staff to have to moderate.

Customize Profile feature?
And yes, adding Blogs would sound boring but People will love it.

I'll create it now, actually.

A) Doesn't almost every forum in the world enable custom titles?

B) Well, there shouldn't be anything wrong with trying and either failing/succeeding. Unfortunately, the only official blog add-on is costly.

SK May 11, 2010 01:14:45 PM

Alright, FW, awesome. It should be cool. :3

Absolutely not! That makes the forum look like a playhouse.

A) That's why I was considering it as a possibility in the future.

B) The add-on he recommended is free. I think it's called vBlog.

I agree with this. The more serious, mature profiles really strike my fancy and give the forums an air of class.

Battle Adoptables? They are just things to click on, not an actual Pokemon game. :P

I sent a certain suggestion for the forums that I think should be implemented moderately soon, since there are constantly question about competitive battling floating around.

For now. FreezeWarp is planning to redo the old ZamFights project, except use the adoptables as the battlers. :razz:

So, are you for or against?

I think you'll like it when you see it.

Armed Floatzel June 6, 2010 02:26:29 AM

I don't know if this has already been proposed, but I want to be able to change my username.

I want to change mine to "Armed Floatzel"

Is this too much trouble? :)

EDIT: Apparently, it is if absolutely no one has replied yet or even looked at this post to my knowledge. :(

Cat333Pokémon June 7, 2010 02:21:29 PM

Name changes must be performed by sending me a PM along with a reason. The less active you have been and the closer the name is to the original, the more likely I will accept a name change. For your number of posts, it may be best to begin by asking others to call you "Armed Floatzel," so a sudden name change will not cause confusion.

Sphinx June 24, 2010 08:39:31 PM

I suggest we have a board for non-pokemon game development, because it would help a lot of people (including myself).

DashArmy July 23, 2010 11:31:15 AM

I suggest that excessive use of smilies, including ones like ":3" and those that don't have a respective emoticon, should be enforced more. They're all over the main chatbox.

Cat333Pokémon July 25, 2010 12:57:24 PM

I believe using a single :), =), XD, :P, :lol:, or whatever else is a suitable response in the chatroom. Because talk is typically fast-paced and coming from multiple directions, it's easier for most people to post ":)" than say, "That put a smile on my face." As for posting them on the forum, they definitely cannot be used alone with three exceptions: /b/uizel, Game Corner, and to answer a Pokémon question (but these ones typically should also have the name written out). As for the recent spread of the licking icons :floatzellick:, I'm not sure what to say about those. When they appear, it seems like either everyone joins in (including mods) or everyone ignores them; for now, it's fine like that.

James July 25, 2010 08:23:34 PM

Well unless someone does an excessive amount of smiles or some other irritating thing you can tell one of the staff members by either PM, VM, or on the Chat. If it's a serious issue and I highly doubt it would be one xD, you can consult Cat or the other admins on it.

Mario227 August 23, 2010 05:29:39 PM

I would like to suggest that non-staff members should have longer sigs, I mean. Look at Jad's sig. Sure, it's mod power and everything ,but could they at least have a spoiler if they're going to have a long sig. Anyways, please anwser this.

Ningamer August 23, 2010 05:34:13 PM

I agree, I'd really like to have a bigger sig. I'm pretty sure that a week or so ago Freeze was trying to make the limit bigger, did he have any luck? :lol:

Cat333Pokémon August 23, 2010 09:51:45 PM

The width will not be raised above 650 anytime soon for sure, pretty firm on the height at 200. Signatures are meant to be little representations of your personality, not giant image walls that guests and anyone who didn't disable them have to scroll past every time they read a post of yours. If you can't express yourself in 200 pixels, use spoiler tags.

As for Freeze, I know his signature is too tall. He's an admin, so it's not like sticking the FIX tag in there will be the nicest awakening.

Ningamer August 24, 2010 04:34:12 AM

I meant like having a bigger text limit. I think now it's 2000 characters including BBCode, but me (And quite a lot of people) want it higher. Since we can hide it under spoilers I see no problem with it, really. It doesn't have to be a big increase, maybe just a few hundred characters.
