mushrat Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 So lets see, we got the video review section, the new tinychat, Vendor statuses and banner advertisements..... Any suggestions for improving the forum or are we good for now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
â€On Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Let me see who is in Tinychat without joining the damned room! I know it's because of updates and such that this doesn't work anymore, but it's all I want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunter Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 i would have to agree with that, i miss being able to go onto tc without leaving the actual forum, but as aeon has stated i know that because of the updates it can't be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Sigh. I know guys, I know. I've searched the net up and down looking for a viable solution to having something like TC Preview again, but I can't find anything that would work. I'm sorry, but you're just gonna have to accept the truth that the people at TC suck for changing up their settings and making it where their shit isn't compatible with IP.Board in the way it used to be anymore. Adrock/Mush are working with what they've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang67n Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 sounds like our only solution is to can IP.Board and just change the entire forum over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Lol, it's not like TC made anything like TC Preview for any of the other forum layouts. So canning IP.Board would solve nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuckthatvincekid Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) I don't know if either of these are possible or already implemented- A live feed of ALL forum activity (versus just the most recently posted threads, could also add most recent reply posts) A notification everytime some replies to a post of yours (not sure if others would want such a thing.)

My second point is still a little different, in my opinion. It's a lot more cumbersome to have to individually follow threads, it'd be awesome if you could just opt into getting notifications when you are replied to, but those are just my thoughts and I don't know whether or not this is feasible. Overall, I'd say the forum is already pretty well set. It has a simple layout and all the appropriate subforums one could think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang67n Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 when you hit "new content" anything you've posted or posted in shows with a star next to it instead of the regular dot. not too hard to follow your posts and stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cp44 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Maybe a sub section for cars since we have quite a few enthusiasts here? Add more time to edit posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1v3th3ad Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 disable youtube videos from forum chat...its screws up things for me when I'm browsing from my phone, which is 90% of the time...really really annoying maybe make it so you can scroll back further in chat history on mobile, i can only post to chat from the main forum screen but not the chat only screen, would love it if that could be fixed. gimme access to the password protected areas that everyone else can see(i only have the mod area and sneaky with another) thats all i can think of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't work outside Facebook like Google Talk or Yahoo! Messenger do, only while you're in Facebook. It would allow for instant one-on-one discussions outside a an entire chat room, and would probably do a lot for mods for instant notification of a problem as opposed to sending a personal message and waiting until it gets read.

mustang67n Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 it would also be great for trying to get people into tinychat when one is bored and lonely.. kind of a "fuck you i know you're reading this" kind of thing... lol +1 for rani 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Nate, that was so funny, you gots rep. I hate how people be online and just lurkin'. Here's what I found on the IM idea: [url="http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/277517-instant-messaging-for-ipb-30/"]http://community.inv...ing-for-ipb-30/[/url] [url="http://ajaxim.com/"]http://ajaxim.com/[/url] [url="http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/webmaster/projects/article.php/3886631/How-to-Add-Facebook-Style-Instant-Messaging-to-Your-Discussion-Forum.htm"]http://www.htmlgoodi...ssion-Forum.htm[/url] So either Ajax IM or CometChat IM it looks like. I'll leave Mush and Adrock to look into them further. Also, while searching for that, I found this, which may or may not be a decent replacement for integrated Tinychat: [url="http://avchat.net/integrations/ipboard"]http://avchat.net/integrations/ipboard[/url] It actually looks pretty legit, and has some nice features...

r1v3th3ad Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 On the idea of a cars sub forum, would you car lovers be happy with a cars pinned thread? I don't know if it is big enough for a sub-forum, up to mush, but I think that is a good compromise in the mean time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang67n Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 yeah, i think i a pinned thread would be enough.. Just a place for us to shoot the carshits and not feel like we're invading the rest of the forum with our benchracing and shenanigans lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang67n Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 oh, and chris, i like the Facebook style chat idea. The ajax one would be cool but it might get weird being open source.. too much customization for something simple isnt always a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
