SRL Archive - Senior News and General

I guess this is a general topic for posting things about the forum that are missing and stuff. And other ideas too…didnt want to post in the Welcome Back thread cause it would get lost among all the other posts.

1. Site supporter rank
2. Vertical or Horizontal way of displaying the page
3. The way of displaying the threads as trunctuated titles.html
4. Maybe move general dump to below general news? Lots of stuff in general news should go in general dump, but its way down the bottom atm so I'm guessing alot of people don't know it exists or its just out of their mind.
5. Smaller cup icons for the current way of displaying the page? or whatever we decided on
6. On the current way of displaying, the boxes around Posts, Join date, and Location are pretty ugly and unnecessary.
7. What about the sidebar on the main page? Displaying ads, top scripts, top srl stats users, etc.
8. Also how its displayed atm - maybe have the avatar above cups, rep under avatar, and then cups below rep? Just a bit more organised and easier to tell at a glance who made the post

2 and 3 are just a reminder to Wizzup. :p

For #2, scroll all the way down and look to your left, there's a dropdown with various theme options.

EDIT: I think the social groups are disabled for SSRL - I clicked this link, found in 99_'s signature, and I got the 'you do not have permission…' page. Any other SSRL having this problem?

tutorial island is rather disorganized, all jumbled up. Maybe get the order the way we had it before?

Also, i already told Wizzup my mod cup was missing, but apparently the claw's cup is missing as well, so there might be some problem with that.

And i've also noticed something strange about the already read posts. Like i had to check the ssrl forums two or three times for it to recognize i had already read the thread.

I meant the way the users posts and profiles are displayed on the page, how the post was underneath the avatar and cups

I also had the same problem when trying to access that link.

just report any huge siggys, they'll be taken care of.
edit: and if you find it right, infract. However there are many people who used to have huge sigs but they just weren't viewable because the old forums would cut them down.

My bad. Anyways…on the front page:

SRL is currently interpreted by SCAR, designed by Aivars Irmejs and further developed by Frederic Hannes.

Maybe have (Kaitnieks) and (freddy1990) after their names? Just to make it clearer. Currently? :) Also whats with all the bolded SRL? Kinda makes it hard to read the page, it all jumps out at you

And a fixed width font for SCAR and other programming tags like it used to be?

I wrote this statement to make sure it contains the right words to connect villavu.com to runescape, cheating, illegal, auto etc. whereas keeping the readability factual, formal and to-the-point. And cunning indeed: "currently" well noticed.

EDIT: THANKS BAMBAM for correcting the statement! Much better now!

Will add (Kaitnieks) and (Freddy1990).

Other Ideas:

• Site Supporter. Needed.
• Fixed Font. Yes. Better. Wizz?
• Signature height. AFAIK this needs a dirty Hack. There is to my knowledge no decent package, mod nor xml that changes that. Needs some time and investigation.
• Forum restructure. Needed! But this will take some time.

Its still not quite perfect.
Now I feel honored.

We might need to change some of the wording to try and get to a more international English vs. American English.

Your choice of words is far more native than mine…to tell you the truth…it's a constant struggle :)

Please change where you see fit.

The background is solid instead of how it used to be, I can't even remember how it used to be. But it makes the post area look narrower.

Edit: I think it actually is narrower.

I've just found this and thought it might be relevant to share here:

Edit:
WT-Fakawi, I don't think that comma belongs after MMORGP in the first paragraph. It sounded ok when I wrote it, but now it just bugs me. (If the sentence said "a mmorpg" it would be OK, but it says "the" and a pause where I put it is just awkward)

I read the Standards for online content authors. We aren't doing too bad :)

We know. Wizz needs 60 hours to complete his exams. After that, he will have time to fix this :)

What about mass-emailing everyone registered telling them we're back?

We use to have the navigation on the bottom of the forum like what is at the top. I found this very convienient so you don't have to scroll up to get back to where you previously were. Like such:

Dont have to use all of them. I know people who have used some of these techniques, and a few who have used all of them. And they have just exploded the rev off their forum.

I know SRL shouldnt be about making the dollar, but hell it may help.
