| Suppose the JA had a new website? | |

DJ Sith - Jedi Council  |
What would you want to see in it? My recent project has taught me much of the arts of software development. To make sure these skills grow I'll yet again be redesigning the JA website. This is much more than a visual retooling. I'll be rewriting the site in PHP 5, using classes, a template system, new database structure that meshes better with our current site needs, and all layout being handled by css (no tables!). This will probably take some months to accomplish, so while I'm working on it I'd like your input as to what you'd like to see on the site. No idea is too big, small, too smart or dumb. The one thing I don't want is images in forum posts and signatures. That drives me up the wall. No flash either. Another reason for doing this is because I get at least one request a month to see my site code. Right now I don't give it out because frankly it looks like ass. I did the bottom level stuff a long long time ago. This new site will be spic and span on the inside and out.  So lets hear it! _______________ My car is made of Nerf. |

This suggestion is more along the visual lines. I'd like to see a different color for the site al around. As well as a more solid template. Maybe not so "ordered". Being alittle crazy with it could be alot of fun for users. Also, I am pretty good with PS so if you guys need any banners or gif. buttons or what ever, lemme know.

Changing usernames is great for security reasons, helps so noone can get in there. |

maybe a forum layout closer to like phpbb, where you can view previous posts, have a numbered page system. It would make it a lot easier knowing what posts you have and haven't read and can reference previous posts when posting yourself. _______________ Raydoe's Paddy I miss you Ray!

How about the ability to search for users by things other than thier JA name, I know that aratan is easy to find (hes the one in the knight list with a weird name) but if someone else is constantly changing thier name then it might be easier to search by Email address or somthing. Also sometimes i have someone on MSN call "Blah blah blah some quote from a song" and I'm like ok who is Jimmy880@hotmail.com !?!? Searching by msn address would be very helpful so i can go , Ah, its that loonie Bail ! or whatever _______________ Quote: fiZZe: its SIR Fizzy Fluffy :p Quote: FiZZ[JAK]: that was what I call a counter Ah, things you only ever expect to hear once

How about a time tag for forum posts? What I mean is this...if I say I plan to be on the server at 8:30 p.m., I write it in a tag using military time like this: [time]2030[/time]. Then for someone in my time zone it appears "8:30 p.m." For someone on GMT it appears "1:30 a.m." That would save us a lot of hassle on a regular basis. Plus, getting into the habit of using it would get us all out of the habit of thinking our time zone is the only one in the world. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |
