Tools (Graphs)
- Cummulative HW Chart in Tools -> HW by Date. [Jay] Not sure what this means ***[HD] this means a cummulative option in the dropdown. ( Go to Tools -> HW by Date). It would list the tally rather than the specific sales numbers for the weeks.
- More games to display at once in Tools -> Game Comparison. Also, the bubble lookup system is kind of slow. [Jay] It's enough for me, but I guess more wouldn't hurt ***[HD] With combined multiplats, 10 games would be a nice number to work with.
- Ability to combine multiplats in Charts -> Game Totals and in Tools -> Game Comparison. [Jay] Great idea ***[HD] Thanks :D I have so many more in this thread -> http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4689422
Data:
Polls
- Poll listings get truncated after vote is made.
- [Jay] True, but not a major problem imo ***[HD] I make polls in all my threads and have to keep options short, often impractical.
- Polls can be voted on multiple times by the same user (can be a pain when switching machines and you only want to see the results). [Jay] Must be a bug, because it doesn't happen to me. But still should be fixed. Again, not a major problem ***[HD] If you want to see the results, you have to multi-vote and it affects the result. Also some posters like setting the results higher to their advantage. Not a showstopper, that's true.
In general:
- Bubble tool for Add Game in Thread OP doesn't work well if there are too many items that match the text written and there is no other way to differentiate it. (Eg. The Legend of Zelda I NES)
- True, but only a minor problem ***[HD] Agreed. A minor fix to be added to the log of minor fixes. On the long run it's not a good thing to have too many minor issues though. It makes the site seem unmaintained, especially when they linger for too long.
PM'ing
- The addressee field in PMs is full of glitches. Sometimes it erases the last two entries, other times it doesn't find the match.
- PMs with special characters in the title fail to load. [Jay] I don't usually PM so I don't know what goes on there ***[HD] It's a bitch this one.
Posting:
- An image resizing tool within the Insert/Edit image popup (I have to manually calculate the ratios myself every time, and it's time consuming)
- Getting an image directly from the generated graph (See Tools) for inserting into an OP or post (links aren't practical and even e.g. for hw_date.php a link doesn't work as the page doesn't remember the trends (un)selected).
- Advanced table editing tools (we work alot with numbers), the ability to perform column operations like setting all values in a column to bold, or changing the number type, managing table widths, etc.
- The ability to drag and drop images onto the post from an image editor or from a local file without having to use photobucket (HTML5 technique?).
- [Jay] Agreed on all of this section ***[HD] Sweet. This would make posting a breeze.
Thread Making:
- Private member (exclusive) threads. Not really a priority for myself but if that's what a lot of people want, then fine ***[HD] I'm not sure it suits the open nature of the forum, but it could be practical, especially for convos some people want to keep to a specific group of posters, or have a formal debate between certain posters and regulate who can post (all can view).
Admin:
- The ability to sticky a thread. [Jay] Can't mods already do this? ***[HD] Don't know, don't thinks so.
- The ability to exclude a topic from the hot topics list and make it private (for everyone). [Jay] Good idea, but is a very minor suggestion. ***[HD] This one's important because rather than using policy to moderate spam threads or game threads, you can have them all outside of the hot topics section and let people post what they want to there.
- A 2nd hot topics list that is fully customizable (which posters you want, which forums, which you want to exclude,...) [Jay] Strange suggestion. It wouldn't hurt, I guess. ***[HD] Agreed. Would be relevant in tandem with the 2nd bullet point.
Viewing:
- The ability to exclude a topic from the hot topics list (for yourself, system keeps track of an exclude list per user). See above ***[HD] This one's a little different and has less to do with reducing policy in favor of technical design improvements, but more to do with customization and muting unwanted threads.
- The ability to mute a poster in a specific thread (local only, not global). [Jay] Local? Global? Huh? ***[HD] Local to a thread, not mute for all threads.
- The ability to select the user(s) who's posts you want displayed on the page. See forum.mafiascum.net. [Jay] Another strange suggestion. It wouldn't hurt I guess ***[HD] This would be good for following what a specific poster said to go back and say, "but you said!". Also handy in mafia games.
More:
- Vgchartz dollars to be used in predictions. [Jay] Agreed. I never got the chance to use them, but I'm sure they were fun ***[HD] :D
