I know, that was bloomin' annoying. I so hope we win this, we all haven't won one yet. :sad: That could all change very soon tho'... :tongue:

lets hope we do win it :wink:

I feel confident too on this one.

Sam just told me there's a firing tonight.

ooh dear :sad:

Lol

Boo him! :sad:

LMAO Callum that was so funny:joker:

Erm. Do we have to write presentations for the ideas?

I think we should like write a bit of basic info on everything, just to make things simpler for James when he reviews them.

Should I do it? What ideas are we going with anyway?

If you wish, Baz.

Shall we have a vote on what ideas we're going with?

I vote Mark's shoutbox idea & Baz's member info thingy. (:

i will go with Callum :xyxwave:

I don't want this to be taken the wrong way, but I do have concerns over that idea due to possible member abuse.

I like Baz's member idea.

Yeah I agree, it could be abused. What was the other idea you had Baz?

Well they aren't actually going to be used unless they're really good/something the forum needs.

The coloured buttons for easy navigation of the site. I am sorry, but I really want to win this one. :laugh: If I am wrong, you can fire me. Most forums have a legend and TIBB don't have one.

I'll go with both of Baz's idea then. I honestly think the staff on TIBB will consider using the 'meet the members' feature. :laugh:

I know Mark, and it is a good idea, but we have to go with ones that actually could be plausable, and are well thought out. We have seen these two ideas in operation already, and it makes it look like we have really thought them up, because we ain't going to say where we got them from! :tongue:

Well Mark & Ann?

We only have half an hour left.

Personally, I like both your ideas. So I don't mind using them both.

i will also go with that too LOL:laugh:

Shall we say the 'meet the members' feature and the 'symbols' feature, then?

yes brilliant one Callum:laugh3:

Ideas for Team Extreme

Presentation - 1st idea. "Meet the members"

The idea is that you have a small section at the top of the page, to the right of the logo, which shows a random members avatar. It also has details of the members name, their generic symbol, the date they joined, and their location. The random member selected will change every time the page is changed or refreshed. This is a good way for new members to see other members who possibly may not be online. Should be relatively easy to set up.



Presentation - 2nd idea. "Icon Legend"

Although the site has some features presently, like symbols for a sticky thread, we think it is a difficult and outdated one. We suggest re-vamping this with colour coding, and an "Icon Legend" added to explain the colour codes to members on the main page at the bottom centre. This should make it a lot more user friendly. So for instance, if you were looking at the sections on the main page, the Big Brother 3 section could show as yellow, which means there are unread posts in that section that the member has not seen. Once entering that section, threads can be shown in different colours. I.E. a thread could show up as red, "red hot thread", to show it is a popular one where members post a lot, and could be a good way for a new member to get to know other members. This should also be relatively quick and easy to install.

Example:

Yellow - New post

Pink - Hot thread

Green - Sticky thread

Blue - Old post

Red - Red hot thread

Purple - Locked thread

Everyone ok with that?

That's perfect Baz.

Great work, Baz! :thumbs:

Baz im fine with that yes:thumbs:

Great. Then we are done til later. What time is the live show tonight? Is it 7pm?

I think so. Shame there's a firing tonight :sad:

Well as I said. If we lose, you can fire me as they are my ideas. :bigsmile:

Baz ive just asked Sam its at 7pm as you said :hello:

Ok, thanks Ann.

your welcome :laugh3:

I am off. See you at 7pm. :bigsmile:

Bye Baz, see you then.

ok Baz see you at 7pm then bye for now :colour:

Hi, thanks for your ideas. I won't be able to choose one tonight because I need to check to see if something is technically possible on the forum before choosing a new feature to add. Also, I'll be away from the computer most of this evening, probably.

Both teams have come up with good ideas, thanks. You can still put up your suggestions on the TiBB Apprentice forum tonight if you want, and see what everyone thinks.
