Title: Forum Suggestion.
Post by: Leetgrain on May 05, 2013, 09:55:56 PM
Hm, I think I remember a time when the "rules" board were linked in the hotlink tab. I think that it should be brought back to help new forumers get acquainted (Or, if 'twas just a figment of my imagination, I think it should be added), it would help new players not necromance so much - and there was an influx of that as you remember, would help a lot with other problems, which you can guess for yourself.

There also should be a little welcome message (Non-PM, a red box under the quick-links, just welcoming the person, and reminding them nicely to check out the rules and etc.

Something like the attached picture, but not as stupid and way more refined.

This new tab would have server rules alone? Or a more condensed, easy-to-follow rules on what is acceptable/unacceptable on the forums?

Overall, yes! Think it's a good thing to implement.

This should go in the community suggestions rather than general discussions

I suggest that when theres no current announcement(like now, cause its just an april fools one) we put the rules and a message there until another announcment is made. i like the rules tab too, it always helped me

Yes we had this before with drop downs for specific servers.
 
It was removed at the time for some reason I can't recall either way the main issue with readding it now... is space.
There simply isn't any. If we add it the Logout Button will go down a block and cover things up.

This mainly concerns people with low resolutions but also admins who have extra selections.


I'll look into seeing if I can find a better way to make it work.


As for the first time pm/msg or w/e. I will look into implementing something like that as well.

Could always ditch calendar, not sure how many people actually use it. I don't.

Put Calendar up beside "unread messages since last visit" and then shove Rules down where Calendar was?

Lets start banning people from the debate threads if they cannot agree to follow the rules of the subforum. Not everyone should have to suffer the actions of a few.

Or preferably if a thread has already been discussed, do not necro it or create a thread on the exact same topic.
