SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted April 27, 2007 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted April 27, 2007 Please let us know which of the following "data islands" (ie. those things on the right hand side column of the forums pages) you look at or use? So vote for the ones that you use or "look at" - even if only a little or sometimes. If you NEVER use one or never look at it or are just not interested at all, please do not check the box for that one..... You can choose as many as you like. Thank you!

scouser 4 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I think they're all interesting (except perhaps top active posters which isn't going to be changing on a day to day basis). Would be good to keep them all, like you said though the Whos online would be good higher up - but everything can't be "at the top"! Link to post Share on other sites
mina2 6 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Yeah like scouser - good to have them there The top 2 are the most useful Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Like the shout box, calendar and who's online but don't care for the rest. Top active posters only shows those who have no life other than SJ! One thing you might need to take note of is that the front forum page is waaaay to far to the left.. might need some kind of border or spacing there?? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted April 28, 2007 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted April 28, 2007 Thanks - yes I thought that a bit as well Indosnm and so have now given everything a bit of a border. How does that look? Link to post Share on other sites
HeatherLocklearRocks 1 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Pretty much with the others, the top 4 of those listings are good to have. I like the main 2 column look as well - I think you have it right now. Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Same here. Link to post Share on other sites
SirJibAlot 0 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Instead of top active posters how about top active topics? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted April 29, 2007 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted April 29, 2007 Interesting idea - testing that out now...... Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted April 29, 2007 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted April 29, 2007 We can do "Recent Active Topics" (ones with new posts) or "Recent New Threads" (new posted threads) - and specify which forums the listings come from (all forums or just 1, ie. Snow Talk). Any thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites
nagoid 4 Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 That is more useful than the top posters as that would only very rarely change, if ever! Link to post Share on other sites
SirJibAlot 0 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 SJ, That looks good. I was thinking something along the lines of topics that have seen a heavy amount of posts and/or views in the past 24 hours - like a 'hot topics' section. Is that doable, or only new posts?

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted April 30, 2007 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted April 30, 2007 At the moment that is not possible, SirJibAlot - though it is something we hope might be possible sometime later. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 all good stuff, keep it all I say. Actually, having "member" under your handle is a bit redundant. You can't post as a "visitor" so why have member, unless of course we have some more surprises coming. "Most Ignored Member" Link to post Share on other sites
maoriboy 0 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Everything seems all a little busy in my opinion. Clean and uncomplicated, just like my woman , is how I like it although I do think the shoutbox is a neat idea. Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Quote: Everything seems all a little busy in my opinion. You can make it all look simple and boring like it used to by turning off the right hand side column. I like the column in there myself so I'm keeping it. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted April 30, 2007 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted April 30, 2007 Yes maoriboy, if you are not keen on the layout of the new forums, you can easily turn off that right hand side colum - when you do that they will be fairly similar to how they were before the changes were made. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I have a question, SJ if you don't mind. The post views and other data, how often does that get refreshed - I noticed the page views isn't "instant"? Link to post Share on other sites
MACHINE 0 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Shoutbox is a good idea, will probably be useful in winter. I like the whos online info too. Link to post Share on other sites
kkk 7 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I think having the polls within the thread makes more people likely to vote in them - much better Link to post Share on other sites

Hi rach I think those numbers that show how many page views a thread has are updated every 3-5 minutes or so. If it were instant (I believe) it would take a lot of thinking resources and generally make things slower on the Forums. Link to post Share on other sites
SirJibAlot 0 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 SJ, no worries - the active topics thing is a kewl compromise. Another thing that might be funny is the top ten posters in the past 24 hours...then we know who REALLY has no life that day! Link to post Share on other sites
