What do you think of this idea? (Time out:0 days after 23-10-2002, 18:07)
I would like to see this.
This is a stupid and unnecessary idea.
I don't care about this.

Control Panel Idea Enter the AD-FREE zone

How about editing the forum view so that the menu bar that appears at the top of the control panel page appears on all the forums when a user is logged in?

I know I'd use this a lot.

This is what I mean:

Doh. I noticed that one can change his style via a scroll-down menu in the top left corner of the main forum page.

But I still like your idea, FP.

It'd be useful for getting to the PM screen, and the notepad ( ) from inside a forum.

It would be nice to be able to check PM's without going to the main forum view, especially with the present page load times.

Just have auto-notify on. That way you don't need to check on PMs at all. Unless you are wanting to check if you've received a receipt for a message you've sent.

Auto-notify? Is that the "open a pop-up window when I get a PM"? 'Cause I've usually got pop-ups turned off.

Maybe, instead of adding a new menu bar and taxing the poor hamsters, the admins could just let you go directly to the Notepad from the goto dropdown (which already lets you navigate directly to private messaging).

Auto-notify pops up a message window (not a pop-up, but a system prompt window thingy) whenever you get a PM:

You have a new Private Message. Click OK to read it.

Then it asks you if you want to open it in a seperate window.

Oh, okay. That's pretty useful -- part of the problem with the Forum Jump drop-down box is that you can't open your destination in a new window.

You'll find it hard to be on Poly then, if you "must" oppose anything that I say. Looks like you can already list yourself as Fez's colleague and Zylka's brother-in-law.

Anyway, back to the topic.

Why do I get the feeling that adding more features will slow the forum down...

If the load wasn't so massive, then I would be all for it. However, I'd rather be able to get to the forum at all.

I never generally have the sound on when I am listening to poly. I listen to music instead so I don't know. Although I am not keen on having my bandwidth taken up by a load of crap. I have precious little on a 56k modem!

I'd rather have some sort of "guest list" that would get me into this site even when the server's straining. If it means bumping someone out, like Dan Magaha or some lurker, then that's just a bonus.

I like that idea. Maybe we should have a poll on who should get on the guest list, or rather, who doesn't get on the list.
