a quiz one ?

MarkWaldorf · 10-09-2007, 08:31 PM

I'm not sure a quiz is a forum feature.

A feature is something like karma etc

Callum · 10-09-2007, 08:32 PM

Hmmm, maybe something like a tutorial for the forum would be good.

Ann · 10-09-2007, 08:33 PM

im not good at task im rubbish

MarkWaldorf · 10-09-2007, 08:34 PM

What sort of tutorial?

On another forum I go on, they have a little space (for us it'll be under location, posts etc) where they can write little notes.

Callum · 10-09-2007, 08:34 PM

Maybe an RSS feed?

MarkWaldorf · 10-09-2007, 08:35 PM

That might be all over the place. Everyone will be posting news, it'll be too uncontrollable.

Good idea though.

Callum · 10-09-2007, 08:37 PM

Yeah, suppose. I know this sounds funny, but personally I would like to have a little buddy/animation like the little helpers you get for MS word; the dogs and cats etc. Someone who could tell you if you had new U2U's and posts on your thread etc, that'd would be awesome.

MarkWaldorf · 10-09-2007, 08:38 PM

I like that, but can it be done?

Callum · 10-09-2007, 08:39 PM

Probally not, but I would love that feature, personally. I think it would benefit the majority greatly on here.

Ann · 10-09-2007, 08:41 PM

it would me actually

MarkWaldorf · 10-09-2007, 08:41 PM

That's true. It's a very big idea. The other team chose a podcast, and look where that got them. I don't think we can afford to make mistakes this week.

Maybe something simpler?

MarkWaldorf · 10-09-2007, 08:42 PM

Maybe a small shoutbox at the top of the forum? It'll be easier than going through all the stages to get into the chat room.

Callum · 10-09-2007, 08:43 PM

Maybe something more simpler like changing some of the little icons on here like the star rating format etc?

Callum · 10-09-2007, 08:44 PM

Great idea Mark, I think that'd work great. The chat room usually takes quite a while to get geared up and started for me.

MarkWaldorf · 10-09-2007, 08:45 PM

Yeah, it's definitely an improvement on the inactive chat room. It's just moderating the shoutbox, and if people can be trusted to use it sensibly.

Callum · 10-09-2007, 08:47 PM

Another idea for this task, I was thinking of maybe trying to make the MOD's and staff on here stand out more. I know we can all recognise them fine, as we remember the names and that, but for new members like it'll be a lot more difficult to recognise the forum staff.
