Please explain this, what are you referring to?

 

Thanks!

Sorry, I didn't mean to make you wait. The shoutbox is always displayed on the frontpage only, nowhere else. Using vBulletin's standard shoutbox there is no option to enable or disable, but one can realise this by writing some code of course (which will hardly happen here). The shoutbox is just a simple way to start a little chat in public, no more, no less.

But tell me, why do you think it's horrendous?

 

I didn't claim you underestimate what the mods are doing here, you misunderstood. Yes indeed, most of the time it's a very thankless job. Been there, done that, from mod to super-mod to admin to super-admin.

 

I can just imagine the conversations in that shoutbox:

And not forgetting the mulitple threads started in GD when the shoutbox becomes the sandbox in which members can fight and play...

HOW TO DELETE THE SHOUTBOX?

MODS DO YOUR JOB

I DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT SHIT ON THE FRONT FORUM PAGE NO MORE *I promise, when I make that thread, I won't sticky it *

Etcetera, etcetera *sigh*

 

I give ewwe a shout out.

 

Have ewe ever been called a prophetess?

 

Has anyone mentioned HTML 5 video support for the main site?

Cause if not, I'll throw my vote in for that. Would really work out on mobile browsers like the iPhone, iPad, Android, etc.

 

Bravo!
You really got the gist of each "hypothetical person" in your post. I could almost picture each member ahh, umm "speaking".

Thank you for tonight's best post for purely entertainment value. . :lol:

 

cockateer the mods need to have certain permissions in order to effectivly do their jobs
one of which being the ability to delete posts or accounts of spammers
without the ability to eliminate the spam posts they are essential only allowed to make reccomendations on a course of action and just suspend or temporarily ban a user
on my site we allow mods to ban users based on IP range and to contact the users ISP to report the incident

under the vBulliten format the admins can grant these permissions through the c panel and allow them to use discression as to the lenght of a ban
and to allow for warnings when one does begin to cross the lines instead of just a ban

and as to the shout box there is a method of allowing users to have it or not if the site has multiple skins and layout pages
there is a script that was made in python to hide a shout box
all it does is collapse it but effectively the user will not be effected by the happenings in it

 

You're right, I forgot what's going on in General Discussions 24/7. Forget about the shoutbox. I mentioned it because it was a great feature in my own board, but that was a smaller community, kind of "by invitation only".

 

Yes, I often wonder why the admins hardly make use of all the options the c-panel offers.

We'll see...

As for using scripts, I don't think they're keen to use non-standard solutions. And I understand smcaaphd's aversion to a shoutbox, things would get out of control there sooner or later - probably sooner.

 

Correct!

 

Based on prior experience regarding the XNXX Forum Admin this new update will be implemented long after we're all dead.

 

Way to think positively Joe!

 

But I am thinking positively, NEW!

I didn't say that the update would never be implemented.

 

Great! Can we have Boolean expressions when searching? I would like to be able to search for "gay doublepenetration"

Also, I like to link my xvideos.com user ID to the xnxx.com forum ID. This way I won't have to log in twice.

Love,
mr.swallow

 

If it ain't broke, don't fix it?

 

I really like these two suggestions. Sometimes you just want to say hi and waiting for PMs can get tedious.

 

In vBulletin this can be realised with a so-called "Thanks button". I'll show you an example from another board. I've clicked the button, so my nickname is displayed in the list; the lower post shows where the button is placed. Looks like this:

 

We're not talking about fixing but enhancing the thing.
