Title: What should SPs Website include?
Post by: Queen Bright on June 02, 2011, 03:36:20 PM
Taking a list on things people want the website to have. For ease of access, fun, or something the site just needs.
Please do share your ideas here. And if you have any design ideas, those are good too and greatly needed.

One thing that we really need but that should be left to a vote, is forms. Where, instead of copying and pasting the template and filling it out. You could just fill in the form. But unless someone knows how to code an option to add your own sections on such a form, it'd have to be strictly be the template only and could stunt creativity.

1. A template with a lot less code. For characters. The reason? It screws up microsoft word, google docs and most other word processing programs.

For the sake of ease, could we have an addition to the "Latest post" thing to include the poster's name?
Just makes checking for new posts and stuff a little easier.
Also I want to see Hikaru fighting a bear as the forum's banner.

1- Hawk, the coding on the template is fine. I use it with MSoft word 2003, and 2007 all the time. It all comes up.
2- Im always available to help with the website as well.

Although I don't like the template, I thought I'd made it a bit more readable. Added arrows to Emphasize the areas needed to be edited so one doesn't have to look at the literal wall of coding for five minutes to find where they need to type at. They only need to find a few hyphens.
Plus I added Line breaks to the list. It was really hard to pick out where one needed to type with it like how it was before.


As for the site...
Go for a Dark Green Color Scheme!

I copy and past it onto my Ipod tough notepad. I want the old one back.

...ipods are only worth having if they're jailbroken, IMHO. But, even the other format would cause you issues, as it uses BBcode too.

So what? You just want me to chuck it in the trash? No. It's convenient because I can take it anywhere and work on requests without having to do it all in one setting. It gives the stuff I'm requesting depth because it won't be all jumbled together at the last second.

The website will make the template process easier. Thanks @ Gunslinger for the renovation. Updating.

It doesn't need to have times new roman font. That makes it just ridiculous.

...I never said anything about you throwing it in the trash dude, calm the hell down. Besides, most, if not all, mobile devices are going to have the same problem.

We had a vague idea about using the Galactic Times for something like that...

Good idea.
