Feature request!
« on: October 28, 2008, 06:29:31 AM »
What feature or update would you like to see for the site?  I'm trying on the gallery, so dun worry about that.  Newsletter's to come, so dun mention that either. 

Wiki? (even though DR already has one, and WikiPedia may be better just to have a centralized place for information)
WYSIWYG? (What you see is what you get editor, making it easier to do formatting in posts)
New Theme? (Change the layout and look of the site)
Less forums? (maybe we still have too many forums?)
More forums? (Something you wanna talk about but doesn't seem to fit into anywhere else?)
New Smilies? (Maybe our next competition...  Hmmm)
Other?

I'm a liar.  I didn't make this site.  Simple Machines did.  And I don't own the server, Servage does.  I didn't make the gallery, some guy named Dragooon did.  All I did was take all these things and make them all work together.  I only know a little bit of HTML (most times when I have to work with it, I look online as a reference), and basic knowledge of PHP.  Heh. 

But anyway, maybe most of you already knew that I was just the glue and didn't "make" any of this stuff :)  At least, not yet.  So, I'll take the opportunity to thank open-source programmers that make this all possible!

But, what I was originally intending to say, is that it being an open-source technology, look at all these goodies we can install!!!  (In case you couldn't think of anything :)

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/

There are themes in there, though those are a bit harder to install as we've customized a few things on the site, and I'd have to duplicate all the customizations for each theme to be installed which can be a pain in the ass.

Hence the other new themes not being added yet hehehe.

Well in the list you said, new themes is the main want for me and a wiki would be fun to play with.  I think we shouldn't get rid of any more forums because it'll be too condensed, the amount we have right now is good :)

I mentioned this before in a much older topic. How about Open ID, if the idea seems feasible and sensible to use here.

What happens if someone's username has already been taken by another openID user?  Also, what if we're the only site who implements it?

EDIT: I just did a quick search and there aren't any dragon/dragonkin/otherkin sites currently using it.

not sure... there's obviously some way it works as a handful of sites like Live Journal and Yahoo use Open ID with no issues.

*nods*  I can't find anywhere on the site that says about duplicate usernames.  Will have to keep looking.

Duplicate member names can be annoying. I was part of a site that did that for awhile. They had twenty people all with the same user name as me just a different number. Was very confusing.

If you all can pick out some Themes for SMF 1.1.6 on SMF's Theme site, that'd be great! 

Since there are a TON of modifications to do to the theme now, I'll only impliment one for now.  So nominate your favorite then we'll have a big vote on which one wins :)

To fix Sel's URL above, it's http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/

This one looks kinda nice:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=59

I don't see any other's yet that are befitting of Draconity, but I only looked briefly.

Thanks Daf!  Looks nice, a bit dark though.  :)

You already know my choices for themes from when you asked me to go through them all, they've been in the admin notepad since the site came back up :P  But here is the one of the 3 that I suggested to be implemented that I like most:

That one is nice indeed :)  The pinecones are kinda lame, but those icons would be easy to replace :)

I guess I get a vote in this too, right?  Me, I still like Green Leaf: http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=718

The background picture can easily be changed into a dragon - or whatever we want, I imagine :)

I really like Forest, and the lovely dark green of Pagan v2. Some of the themes could do with much better preview screenshots.
