Yo. Rev here for another suggestion.
Tl;dr people, please click the big ROBLOX logo and never come back to this thread again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Breif description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since you're viewing this thread, you must be one of the many forumer in ROBLOX. Isn't forums great? Where you can say what you want to say, talk and communicate to other people. Although some points, you find some inconvenience. Don't you?
Well, I made a thread about ROBLOX 4.0 (incase you haven't read it, here: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=33746928). And I talked a little bit about the forums. This is the addition to that. Although it contains suggestions already posted in my ROBLOX 4.0 thread.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suggestion [1]: Posting
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The updates version should make posting, easier.
(1) SIGNITURE.
A useful one. Some people in the forum pastes signitures onto their post (like DL08, me, frozengaia, etc.). And I know alot of people suggested this, but there should be a field where you can paste your signiture.
Setting the signiture on the field, would be much easier than pasting your signiture everytime you post. Sometimes, my friend ask me to rate his place, and he sends me the link. I copy and paste the link on the address bar, but then when I get back to the forum, I need to copy it again.
The field would be editable, but it will stay there even if you move onto different threads. And when you post it, it automaticly shows the signiture as a footer of the post.
The field would be about 20~30 letters maximum. We don't wont a really long signiture to mess up the threads.
(2) MISTAKE VERIFICATION
Yes, I suggested this on my ROBLOX 4.0 thread. You guys might had an experience, where when you post your thread, it says "You are breaking the rules". I post long threads like this (And the ROBLOX 4.0 thread), and I have no idea where exactly where my mistake is. Here's what they should do.
First, you click 'Post'. And if you're breaking the rules, this will show up:
[You are breaking the ROBLOX forum rules. We want to make sure ROBLOX forum users use the forum properly, and not to use any forbidden words. Please correct your mistakes and try your post again.
(Then there will be the list of sentences that needs correcting)
]
Simple, eh? Then the user can go back, then correct, then post again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suggestion [2]: Sub-threads
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry to keep bringing this up, but I also suggested this in ROBLOX 4.0 thread (LOL HOW MANY ARE THERE).
Sub-threads are a smaller thread that goes inside the thread. You can make sub-threads by clicking the button at the bottom-right corner of your main post (the very first one, which is created when the thread is made. Like, this bit you're reading!). By clicking that, it takes you to a post making bit (like when you click 'Post' on a thread). Then once you post it, a sub-thread will appear.
Sub-threads can be used for: Correcting grammar/spelling mistakes; Add-on to the suggestion; Notice to everyone who post; etc.
Sub-threads alway sticks to the top. It's like a thread stickie. Also, you cannot post ON the sub-thread. You can create many sub-threads if you want. Someone spamming with sub-threads? No problem. You can report the main thread, and then all the sub-thread of the main thread will be deleted.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suggestion [3]: Quotation (BBB, you're gonna love this.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Experienced forumers criticize other threads. There are no problems with it, even I do it too. To make easier, here's my suggestion.
'Quote', is like "THIS". A thing that points out the words a specific person said, using a quotation mark. "I'm hungry", "I like pie", "You're a noob", these are all quotes if someone say those words.
Besides every 'Post Reply' buttons (except locked threads), there will be a 'Quote reply' button, too. And once you click that, it takes you to your normal post making bit. BUT, unlike the normal ones... On your typing box (where you type your post) will be the post you clicked 'Quote reply', in quotes.
Not making sence? Here's an example.
===============================================
dued ur a noob. why cant u be nice to us were just posin ideaz
===============================================
If you click 'Quote reply', inside your typing box, there will be the same sentence as above, except in quotation marks. So you can quickly type your criticism under it.
================================================
"dued ur a noob. why cant u be nice to us were just postin ideaz"
Says a guy with no grammar skill. We choose to criticize posts because we choose to.
================================================
Like that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sugestion [4]: Small, but useful thread updates
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) PAGE NUMBERS ON POPULAR POSTS
You know that on popular threads, you see pages numbers, AT THE BOTTOM? Well, this is just a small update. Make it so that there are page numbers at the TOP, too. So you can select quickly what page you want to go, without scrolling.
(2) REDIRECT TO THE LAST PAGE ON POPULAR POSTS
And you also know (if you have some experience), that once you post on a popular thread, it actually takes you to the FIRST page. I'd like to have a optional setting of whether you will go the the first OR the last page of the popular posts.
(3) NEW POST LOGO ON POPULAR POSTS
Sorry it's all about 'Popular posts', but it's true. Popular threads need upgrades. Anyway, popular threads are shown in stars, right? My suggestion is that when a new post is made on the popular thread, it should show an orang star instead or yellow star. This will be easier to check if the popular threads have a new support/criticism or not.
(4) AN OPTION TO LET THREAD DIE OUT
No, it's not abusable. It's just another check box under the 'Do not allow replies to this post' on your post making bit. It'll be called 'Do not bring the thread upwards'. This will determine if the post will make the thread go to the top of the page or not. If it's ticked, your post won't make the thread go to the top. So if there are pointless ideas or spams, you can just let them die, and criticize without the worry of bumping it up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suggestion [5]: Forum search
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You obviously know how to search on forums, don't you? No? Click 'Search', right across to the other side of 'ROBLOX Forum > ROBLOX > Suggestion & Ideas' bit.
But as I tried, it isn't accurate as I thought it would be. Here's what we should have:
A NEW SEARCH SYSTEM.
There will be 4 boxes, and a text field where you search what you want to search.
[Forum], [Thread/Post], [Sort], and [Results per page].
"[Forum]", is the selection box where you can select what forum to search on.
"[Thread/Post]", will determine which to search. Either a post, or a thread.
"[Sort]", will show the result in a specific order. Newest posted, Oldest posted, Most posts, or Least posts.
"[R.P.P.]", will show how many results per page. 10, 25, or 50.
Simple 'nuff.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whew, that was sure alot of typing O_O

Right, where was I oh yeah, I support all of these ideas,
-----------------------------------
SIGNITURES: This idea would be a bit complicated, So heres how it could work.
When you are in the forums, and you see to your right, there should be a click-on called "Signiture". Click on it and a white box will apper, type your signiture in it, and each time you make a forum post, the signiture is 3 spaces down from your last sentence.
---------------------------------------
Great forum post.

Hmmm... I like your ideas and it's a support for me... But I don't quite get the
orange-yellow star one... |
|
|
Orange = New post on Popular thread
Yellow = No new post on Popular thread
Still complicated?
