      IRC Nickname: RobbieThe1st Group: Founder Posts: 770 Member No.: 2 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 49    | Hi, guys. I'm planning to update the "tab box" above this post. I'm going to be improving it, making the design simpler and easier to work with. I figure less tabs are good, but I want to make sure what important data is needed is up there. Do you guys have any suggestions on: 1. Things that should be added 2. Things that should be removed 3. Tabs that should be merged, and a new name for the merged tab(s)? Also, I've been thinking about a couple of features I might want to add to the forums when I get a chance: 1. A simple BBcode tag: [id]#[/id]. The number would be a person's forum ID, and when the post was shown, the BBcode would be replaced by a link to the person's profile(or PM page, depending), and their current name. This would be good in that it would prevent people's changing names from confusing the issue too badly, but on the other hand it might look a little weird. 2. An auto-scanner which would replace any instances of a user's forum name in a post with the [id] tag. This would have the effect of automatically creating a link out of any name you posted, and it would have the same effect as above, but more drastically, as you wouldn't have to find the user's ID - just post their name. I'm not sure about this - It could be very handy, but it also may look just plain tackly and ugly, having that many links... although, I could change the color to look like normal text, or simply be a different color than regular links. What are your thoughts? -Rob -------------------- Old Avatar - Paypal donation link  I am left handed, and proud of it! Retired from RuneScape.

The ID tag sounds pretty cool, I say #1 on that  Tabs: Move the PM a WG Official to the Links tab? War Alert/Raid Alert should be a bit more prominent. I could make some images and give you the coding for them if you want? Event times looking good, just need updating as they're all NaN atm. I personally think the Search tab could be removed or replaced, because I don't think anyone uses it. Mumble of course needs to be changed to TS3 The ranks page only shows the ranks. Maybe make each one have a drop-down menu which shows the list of members for each rank? That's all I can think of  Edit: I only just noticed, the Donate tab shows up when you open the forums or change pages, but after that if you click on it or another tab, it disappears. There's also nothing for the shirt that I can see. Edit #2: What does the X in the top-right hand corner do? And speaking of closing X's, the popup-type things for stats/GuardianScore need one, as they just stay open. --------------------  [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same | ||

 IRC Nickname: Gorgemaster Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 9840 Member No.: 3 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 540 | I don't think we need the War Record tab at all. I mean it's rarely used since we don't know the war record. I did ask Gene if we could restart it like last summer... from scratch, but he didn't want to. So there it lies... dormant... I don't think you should move the PM an Official feature... as if moved, it really won't get used, and atm it is very helpful. I personally use it A LOT. --------------------    | ||

Probably because atm, the outdated and inaccurate war record is decent. If we restarted it from last Summer, it would be all defeats and zero victories. I say leave it like that until we end our losing streak. We haven't warred that much recently, so we can get in a couple victories now. Then we can reset it to the start of this year, starting with the Great War. It'll be accurate and look better than 0 Wins, 0 Draws, 9001 Losses. -------------------- [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same | ||

I just got the Search and PM a WG Member "links" revamped. Hopefully this will be more useful now - try them out! If you can think of other important websites to search, let me know. -------------------- Old Avatar - Paypal donation link I am left handed, and proud of it! Retired from RuneScape.

What may be helpful is a search of RS Wiki? http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/RuneScape_Wiki I use that site most days. -------------------- | ||

Second one should read 'runehead'. It goes to runehead, but I guess I forgot to change the name. -------------------- Old Avatar - Paypal donation link I am left handed, and proud of it!
