Website improvement ideas

I don't think it is fixed, just tried it and while it did mark most as read, a very few were not. Seems completely random which ones remained. Went back 5 pages and estimated as a dozen or so.

Fixed - it was not updating threads already read recently; only those that had never been read (d'oh).

On the Forum Index Page there is a section for Simulations which includes headings for Released and Timetables. Both of those headings list their sub-forums in what looks likely to have been an alphabetic listing in the first place but then with the most recent releases tacked on to the front of the list. It would help someone trying to track down something specific if the sub-forums could be listed alphabetically as a matter of course rather than becoming random as things are updated.

Currently requires manual intervention. Every sub-topic is given a number default 0 and to get it into the right order requires every topic after the insertion place to be renumbered - bit of a pain.

Do you have to use every number, or can you have gaps?

If you can have gaps, then number them 100, 200, 300, etc. Then you can use 50s, 25s, etc. to insert new ones without a mass renumbering. Much easier.

(Anyone else here ever programmed with punched cards?)

How do you mean missing it? Any chance of a screenshot.

Geoff,

It has been discussed in TeamSpeak that it would be great to have a "Maybe" option for attending games. There is a 'problem' for hosts of people not signing up for games, and it is totally understandable as joining a game is seen as a commitment and people do not want to let the host down. I do the same myself!

It would be much better if people could mark themselves as "Maybe attending" or "Interested" so a host can gauge who has even an inclination to attend or is interested in the hosting setup and people would be more likely to do it as if their plans change at the last minute they are not letting anyone down.

Cheers

Done, now live.

I do like the new front page, feels much more friendly for a new visitor.

One minor bug that I think might have crept in with the change, if you aren't logged in and try to view the Wiki (either User Manuals or FAQ) then you get a error message:

As a follow on from this, is there a way that after signing up tentatively, you can upgrade to a will be joining without first having to leave?

I will, when I've finished some other matters (remind me).

Would it be possible to add a wishlist feature on the store, so people can list the sims they're interested in purchasing?

To what end?
