Sep7agon R&D

Isara · January 31, 2015, 10:23:37 PM

The development of Sep7agon is continuing, so I felt like creating a main suggestion thread for me to work on. (I do check around the forums for other threads, still) However, think of this as the main line of getting to tell me an improvement on the website's design, structure and overall image for me to research upon.

I would suggest to hold the following things in mind before venturing in this thread;

I will be sharing design concepts. None of these are samples, or views of possible applications on Sep7agon, but rather the research involved into getting somewhere meaningful.
Suggestions are welcome to be of any kind relevant with the design, and the website structure. Without restriction, as long they are sensible and meaningful ones.
Before writing a suggestion for my own research then please consider (a) Does this idea build onto a concept from Bungie.old? (b) Have I seen this idea applied somewhere else, if so where?

Subthreads, it would decrease the chances of derailment and would clean up lots of threads.

automatically spoilered images and videos

ironic since i never spoiler my stuff but it's because i'm lazy and i'm sure that goes for the other people that don't spoiler their stuff. it would definitlye clean up threads

of course that's an idea from bungie.net

EDIT: Also I don't know if it is possible but a redux of the PM system would be nice. I know you can already message a group of people but it doesn't work very well in the way that I would like. I liked Bungie's where you could have several people and it updated live. That would be cool.

Also a bookmark feature would be nice for threads and/or individual posts.

Bookmarks are a thing, but they're currently broken. There are plans to fix that.

And the group PM thing works already, everyone just has to remember to "reply all" to keep the conversation going. It notifies you like any other PM would.

okay i felt this one deserved it's own post because it's pretty out there and I'm not sure if it's even possible but I think it would be awesome if members could have galleries on their profiles of a few images. Those images being stuff you have drawn (for the artistic people of the forum) or just some images you like. I think it would be really great for the abundant artsy people on this forum. I'm just not sure if our host has the abilities for that to be possible.

I like this suggestion. One feature of a forum I used to frequent was picture galleries. It was mostly memes, but it was humorous. It also had a comment section for the lulz. One way the thing stayed relevant was that the front page had a 'recently uploaded images' bar along the bottom. This was before the days of imgur, so it was also nice to have image hosting without being bombarded with advertisements or signing up for Photobucket. And of course, it was helpful to keep all our avatars in one place on-site.

It's more like that I have this thread to think over things or research them. So don't expect me to reply unless I need further elaboration on what is given.

Change the colour of the message icon when you have a message, it doesn't stand out.
