Administrative Note
Please take note that due to time constraints, and for the sake of my own sanity, I will not be posting, nor reviewing, any feedback deemed anonymous. The majority of anonymous feedback seems to be ambig |
| | Body | -Rf
Forum Feedback
S: Maybe allow users to specify the order of forums, so they can change how they appear.
R: The forums will always be arranged alphabetically and not be customizeable in this way. However there will be the ability to hide forums eventually.
S: yeah, I'm a bit peeved at the amount of forums as it is, but a Hardware forum would be really kewl.
R: AFAIK a poll is either in progress, or has been completed and the results not yet made public. Looking at the responses to the poll conducted by Ker. Omniomi, the results seem 50/50. Don't count on this becoming a reality.
cMS Feedback
S: Some people never delete cMS's... and like to save them so that they might need information from one later and go back. I do that myself... Just like emails (other than spam...) Now, it would be cool if we had some kind of search tool you can use to search through all of your cMS's for information. Or a certain post. I think that would be useful.
R: Suffice to say it appears that this will not likely happen, as it's likely too hard on the server. Not only would people be storing tons of stuff in the server, the search function would take up entirely too much bandwidth and not be as useful as, say, the forum search function.
S: Maybe, something for the future, could be a way to download cMS's. That way, you could search to your hearts content, and use your own CPU to do it.
R: According to reliable sources, it's coming someday.
S: I'd like to have to ability to have my CMS messages emailed to me, as well as having them in my inbox, as I don't check my Office much. I know the old messaging system could do it. Just a matter of convenience, and it would probably lead to faster responses.
R: This is not on the improvements horizon. You'll have to check your cMS more often in ?My Office?.
Office Feedback
S: How about putting a log out button on the side or top or somewhere else on the forum pages? I am in a huge rush sometimes (like when the bell rings), and I have to click "Office", then click "log out" just to log out. Really I'd like to just look up and see the log out button on whatever forum I'm reading, or whatever post I'm reading, thus making my escape from the current class much quicker.
R: Coming in the next Dinah release (0.6).
Other Feedback
S: A while back I noticed OSI had a big pretty brigade information thing with links and everything in their description. Of course I went and tried BBcode, then I tried HTML, no to avail. Could we allow other brigades and groups to put BBcode in their descriptions and not just OSI?
R: Seems to be available to top brigade levels only, and likely will not be available to sub-brigades.
S: I think the special merits should make a return in CA promotional map. It would slow down the process of everyone getting promoted all the time and even give some extra meaning to rank and dedicated members.
R: Discussed, but not planned as of yet so this one is up in the air. As far as I can tell, a secondary ranking system will likely not be implemented, as it serves no useful purpose.
S: What happened to the old ?right click' menu with links to all of the main brigades (homepage and brigade link), all the forums you have access to, office and Zebulun and the like?
R: From what I've seen, this function uses up too much bandwidth. However the ?right click' function maybe used for something else in the future. As of now it's up in the air.
S: Add a credit to the feedback digest so we can see who submitted the original feedback
R: That I can't do. Whoever submits feedback does not get their name published in this digest since they may not wish it. If they want to tell folks that they submitted feedback, be my guest.
S: I suggested before that the Sered FAQ be hyperlinked on the Zeb page....must have been over looked...unless for some other reason denied
R: Currently being looked at.
Final Word
This is the information as complete as I can make it for the time being. If anyone has a question/comment about this digest or any other feedback sent in, feel free to contact Feedback crew or me personally via cMS or on the IRC (#feedback or #freak). If you want to discuss or need to get in contact with someone specific regarding one of these points, find Feedback crew in #feedback (irc.cyberarmy.com:6667) and we'll talk, because after all we're here to help you.
Fideliter!
