Site Feedback/ideas

[SteevoLS]

Thanks Ian! I'm going to add some camo overtones to the dark theme aswell.

[SteevoLS]

New stuff:

• Camo overlay on dark theme
• Camo overlay on light theme
• Trader feedback system
• All-caps prevention on posts
• Username colors for admins/mods
• Staff list page on main toolbar/menubar at top of pages

might i suggest adding a section for buyer/seller feedback? somewhere where i can explain my experiences in buying or selling from someone, ie. if they were easy to deal with, shipped when they said they would or paid when they were supposed to. Stuff like that?

[SteevoLS]

Thanks for the suggestion, Braz! I actually added something like that last night called the "Trader Feedback System". If you look under your (or my) name on the left side of a post, you'll see "Trade Count: (x)". That is the number of sales/trades that this user has had feedback left for. You can add feedback through a user's profile.

How does the all caps prevention work?  Like the entire post can be caps...?  Also I really like the staff button!

[SteevoLS]

If you type out too much of a post in all caps, if will give you a popup message saying you need to cut back on the uppercase yelling.

[Radar]

OKAY!!!! I WILL TRY AND REMEMBER THAT!!! 

[Rayne]

JUST TESTING YOUR CAPS LOCK THING SO FAR HAVEN'T RECEIVED A MESSAGE TELLING ME TO CUTBACK ON THE UPPERCASE WRITING. DO I HAVE TO WRITE A STORY OR DOES IT SAY IT AFTER I POST...STILL NO MESSAGE, WRITING RANDOM TO SEE IF IT WORKS..

edit: No message

[SteevoLS]

I noticed it wasn't working earlier today. Bear with me! It appears that it is a theme-dependent script, so I'll have to add it's changed to the custom themes (it works fine in the default theme).

Might be too much to integrate or might be unusable, but have you looked into the functionality of incorporating a google calendar so that updating individuals calendars is as simple as subscribing to it? 
Im not sure how or how well it would work or if anyone besides me even uses google calendars, but I figured I would throw it out there. 

[SteevoLS]

I just embedded a Google calendar in a website for a client, so I know its possible. I'll have to look in to creating custom, non-forum pages for SMF. That's a great idea, though!

Edit: Well, that was refreshingly easy. Now, if you click on the Calendar button you are taken to an embedded Google Calendar.

The new calendar looks good, but where did the birthdays go?  Were they automatically pulled from the site before?

[SteevoLS]

Yes, they were. The original calendar just pulled them automatically from profiles. I'm going to see if its possible to automatically export the SMF calendar to ICS or something like that; if it is, I'll just update the birthdays every month.

Do many people use Google Calendar?  I just updated it on mine with AOSC dates.
