Site Suggestions for DJ

Heya DJ

I got a couple of new suggestions for the site (sorta obviously by the title of the thread :P)

1. I think it would be better if you switched around the my profile setup so that your viewing your profile when you click the link, and have to click to edit. As it is now you go right to the edit section. Just my 2 cents on that one :)

Also, you've got the forums set up to allow acending or descending posts, which is kewl. The site still tends to work for people who have newest posts on top, with guys like me who are more comfortable the other way, I have to basically scroll back through the pages to get to the newer stuff.

Perhaps its possible to set up clickable page numbers to the threads? That way the descending guys don't have to click previous posts so many times? Thanks DJ, you rock man, keep up the good work! :D

yeah there is this bug where I always see weird cats in the profile pic of this one guy.... someone with ace and space.... whatever :D

DJ - have u considered a "who's currently logged into the site" list somewhere ?
would be handy. thx

I also thought that maybe on the server's page - it could be useful to display whether or not currently a class is being held on....

Gah good lord this thread again! :D

Right now my site priorities are in this order:
articles database (for things like reviews, interviews, editorials, etc.. we need this one asap for certain things... :))
files database

I'm kind of doing these both at the same time since they'll share alot of screenshot and image thumbnail code.

Speaking of which I've made a change to the way profile pic thumbnails are generated on the pages with comments. They output PNG images now, this may take a little longer to download, but these pictures are much clearer. I'm redoing how thumbnails are resized. You shouldn't see any, but let me know if you spot any abnormalities.

I think ppl should be encouraged to wear tags on publics, and play on publics as well....

One other thing perhaps you wanna change is the green colom at the top under the Jedi Academy "sign" some letters are to long and arent completely shown like for example the y is shown as a v. And some more letters just thought maybe u wanna make the "sign" a bit bigger so all letters show up correctly.

well, yeah, links and FAQ should be overhauled.
as well asthe welcome letter, probably, as most students still have the same concernes.....

As you can see when a student is enrolled in classes, maybe u could add info for us students to see on a JATs profile which classes he's teaching

Oh, i have some suggestions aswell:

1. Update or redo the FAQ (!)
2. Rename "About Us" into "Members"?
3. Either get rid of the "Files" link or replace it with our files, such as maps, skins etc

:)

LMAO! i have no idea how you got that number but i'll trust you :D

DJ, why are some parts of the site so slow while others zoom past me at ultrasonic speeds? the slow parts i'm referring to are mainly the "About Us" and the "Classes" pages...

another suggestion:
I would greatly appreciate it if the class search page offered more info about classes. Thus should be:
- info wheter the class is full or not
- info wheter you are enrolled or not

I picture little pictures or icons giving this information.
thus the scripts don't have to be executed for the site to load.

edit:
DJ, the about us page sais in the last general paragraph
"We also keep an email account for contacting us all at once or as a guneral suggestions box: fixtheja@hotmail.com."

guneral ? hmhmh

yo, I ce ur point. K.
that way we could actually CLEAR things up a little.
so you could find out, what combos ppl are referring to when talking about them.

so the credit thingy should be left out, just the moves and the NAMES (plural!)

Basically yeah Aron. But some of the guys got creative and named those sessions where they hit you more than once, in more than one place.

I guess some of the guys wanted to bring a little bit of Dragon Ball Z to the game. You know, so they could all say, KAMEYAMAYA a bunch of times.:P
