gapertimmy Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 in your ideal world of spray, what would you like to see? Our current bbs software vendor/package is getting a bit stale, and support/product updates are sparse so I'm looking around a bit. I'm sure many of you out there frequent numerous other message boards, and i'm curious what you like, and what features you think we could really use here on cc.com. I realize there are a few things that have already been pointed out: -Better Search Facility -Chat -Faster -Perhaps a better picture gallery solution A few things I have been toying with are: -RSS feeds -Donation Integration Anyhow, y'all being the users of this site, I want to hear what you would like. It still blows my mind that this place has grown so much in the past (is it 4 years now?) few years, and I want to make sure you sprayers are happy. Thanks timmy Quote
Alpinfox Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 The biggest issue for me is the pictures. I think it's a real shame that all the pictures in all of the old trip reports are screwed up. People put a lot of time and energy into making those TRs, and they are the best feature of this site, so I'd make that a priority. I don't really have a right to complain since I haven't donated any money (though I will when I get a job), but that's my biggest complaint. Thanks and Cheers! Quote
Billygoat Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 I liked being able to see the "last 25 posts" regardless of category, function. That way, I can respond to the current topics and even have a sort of chat with a couple members of the board. Thanks Quote
gapertimmy Posted February 14, 2005 Author Posted February 14, 2005 agreed on both. i put a lot of time into TR's with pictures as well. Fortunately, that should be a fairly simple fix. Quote
gapertimmy Posted February 15, 2005 Author Posted February 15, 2005 pictures are slowly coming back to life, check some old tr's. also, have you tried the active topics link? Quote
klenke Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 One thing that had bugged me on a number of occasions is, when viewing others' gallery images and I've wanted to send one of them a PM, if I click on their name below the image it takes me to a stats page for that person, but does not provide a link to send a PM to them. This means I have to look elsewhere for that person's profile page. It would be nice if their profile page came up or at least a "Send a PM" link was supplied. Quote
Dru Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 i think it would be cool if the "add pictures from my gallery" worked for all posts not just for trip reports. Quote
klenke Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 (edited) Test for attachments. Edit: Okay, two things I noticed about attachments: 1. The pasted jpeg in the post now gets squished, causing loss of readability of text. This is lame. Why does an image get compressed now? Note that you can get around the compression problem by manually pasting the image the old way as I have done here. However, the compressed version still shows up at the bottom of the photo. 2. It isn't possible to have an attachment w/o having it also appear at the bottom of the post. It would be nice to have the option of pasting or not pasting it in the post.

Jens Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 I know it would not be all good, but can we load the old software that we had before? right now: *About every 3rd thread won't load for me *My preview balloon doesn't work with this new software (means I don't read half as much stuff as I used to) * Doesn't remeber me on my log in * Plus cc is WAY slower than before People I've talked to at the crags lately have said they are experiencing all the same things as me so it isn't my computer or me. __ You guys do a great job. Let's just write this up as a mistake and go back to the old software. Thanks for giving us CC it is a great resource! Quote
snoboy Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Test for attachments. Edit: Okay, two things I noticed about attachments: [snip] 2. It isn't possible to have an attachment w/o having it also appear at the bottom of the post. It would be nice to have the option of pasting or not pasting it in the post. This is now the default behaviour again, the attachment does not appear in the post, and you will have to edit the url into an image tag if you want to have it show up. Quote
BrotherNex Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 I whould like to see a link section for anything Northwest and climbing related. Gear, gyms, route information. It whould also be cool to check current wheather and possibly wheather forcasts from here. Quote
mattyg Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 One minor thing that I'd like is that: When you create a new thread or post in an existing thread, that thread should be automatically toggled as a "Favorite Topic!" and you should receive emails on it. (Instead of having to toggle it manualy). Small quibble I know, but it would increase the ease of use of this site immensely for me. Quote
archenemy Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Can we increase our mail limit? Or have a way to archive stuff? Quote

jon Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 I'll suggest that feature to the developers of the software we are migrating to. Quote
Dr_Crash Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Yes, no auto "favorite topic" unless one explicitely asks for it. In the same vein, it would be nice to have a "My Active Threads" view that returns all the threads that one has posted to (within a time limit) that got some other responses. What software are you migrating to? drC Quote
jon Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 The new software has a subscription option when you make your post, with no email updates, instant, daily, and weekly update options. The Private Messaging system allows you to message more then one person at a time and allows you to attach files and images and have polls. Quote
Kitergal Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 more muscular topless men photos!! ohh wait...we're not in spray...nevermind...I'll let you guys answer this one! Quote
thelawgoddess Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 In the same vein, it would be nice to have a "My Active Threads" view that returns all the threads that one has posted to (within a time limit) that got some other responses. i like this suggestion. having a personally modifiable front page would be awesome - although perhaps not very feasible ... something like the home page but with more options for the things you're watching or want to watch that makes it easy to review those threads (like active topics). does that make any sense?

iceaxedave Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 It would be nice to have an easier way to insert photos into a trip report. Quote
archenemy Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 The Private Messaging system allows you to message more then one person at a time and allows you to attach files and images and have polls. will our storage limit increase? Quote
archenemy Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 I want to see more storage capability. Please. Quote
