1. Upgrade vBulletin.
2. Fix issues like attachments, AJAX etc.
3. Prune old posts.
4. Add Anti-Spam plugins/mods.

Keep the suggestions coming, ill keep updating this post with the high priority suggestions

Do something about Spam. If there as Askimet equivalent for vBulletin, please install it.

Also Please care to explain why the forum goes down when it goes down that is...

Good suggestion. Adding.

Sorry, not in our hands

Only the admins know the reason.

1] Fix the Views=Replies+1 bug.

2] Error on posting a visitor message on a member's profile, even though the message gets posted.

3]New smilies

Will add more.

Should be fixed when we upgrade vBulletin and fix AJAX stuff.

Kl@w-24 said:
2] Error on posting a visitor message on a member's profile, even though the message gets posted.

Again, should be fixed by a vBulletin upgrade.

Low Priority.

Well I had posted it in d previous thread too, no one cares reading long posts...too lazy eh, to bring change

1>close the thread older than 1 year. Let them be for viewing only. A simple sql query will do that if there is no option in vBulletin (by ichi)

2>But don't close a currently opened thread in Chit Chat unless it becomes stale(after 2-3 days if it doesn't get buried itself) and you thought it was another spam kinda thread made by genuine members (by ichi)

3>The admins can include a box that displays the forum rules one at a time like a "Tip of the Day" box. (by Alexanderthegreat)

4>Close the thread if more than two guys report about it. And if everyone is happy then atleast let the thread run for 2-3 days and sink to the bottom by itself or close it manually by 4th day if mods suspect it to be buried deep. (by ichi)

5>Move it to the top of the page where it is easily visible and update that option to have negative ratings as well.
* 1 to 0 to +5 with zero being the default rating of every thread.
* After 1 page of replies:
* If the ratings go negative, thread gets deleted.
* If the ratings stay at zero with votes, thread gets locked.
* If the ratings stay at zero without votes, thread continues.
* If the thread does not finish 1 page of replies after 3 days, thread continues unless it comes under rule 1 or 2.
* Any positive ratings(1 to 5) let it be the criteria for the thread starter to judge how his/her thread is received by other members, with the thread being allowed to continue. (by afonofa)

6>A new rating in the thread rating system should be added. It should be named "Spam". AND, in case a thread gets too many Spam ratings, it should be... wait for it... AUTOMATICALLY deleted. I can already see some wise guys pointing out how that would help the spammers to delete posts too. Well, I would like to suggest that new members should not be permitted to rate the thread as a "Spam".

7>We can let mods vote for these old faithful people. Once those old faithfuls are selected, THEY can vote for more in the future. See a pattern emerging? (by Alexanderthegreat)

8>There are not enough smileys! Instead of providing us with the same smileys with different code, TDF admins should replace repeated smileys with smileys for things like rofl and a better smiley for lol. (by Alexanderthegreat)

9>Though I have set reply notification for subscribed threads to email me the moment someone replies, but I hardly get instant notifications. At times, it's after 5-6 hours after reply is made. Using gmail ID. Never got any notification when I provided a @luckymail.com id as my email address. (by thinkFree)

Something about mods - Please feel free to ignore / delete if this is not a good idea.

Members can nominate other members whom they think - good for moderating the forum. Like who are not too strict but not too liberal, who is impartial, having patience, not a khaitan-boy

and above all, who can spend some time to cleanup threads and manage forum in a nice manner.

Once the majority go with some names, they (mods themselves) can decide the time at which they can be online, like some may be able to spend time for forum in the morning, and some in the afternoon. If they manage the timing like shift, it will be very nice.

Just my suggestion.

Extend section into further sections in the forum. Like from hardware to graphics card, cpu and mobo, overclocking etc.

Keep separate mods for different sections.

The forum should have new and a lighter skin.(Optional)

One more thing. There should me some sort of plugin builtin that allows members to chat.

Dont know how it will help, plus sometimes threads need to remain open.

Wont work well in such a huge forum.

Rating system is already there. Im sorry, but i dont think its a good idea to automate stuff based on ratings.

I get instant notifications.

I am really sorry i rejected all your suggestions, but you have to understand that when we are asking the admins of something, please be sure its something easily implementable. We do not want to overwhealm our beloved admins!

Din, appreciate your suggestion. But i think this is something that needs to be discussed in private. If we open the option for people to vote, it again becomes open to misuse. I just want you to know that you have to trust us (the admins and the current MODs) to make the right decisions for the forum. In fact, apart from the parameters you mentioned, there are a whole lot of parameters that go into the decision of selecting a MOD. I hope you are convinced with what im saying. Still, if you think you need to clarify, im open to it! But plese send me a PM regarding it

Can be added, but IMO its low priority.

bassam904 said:

This kinda restricts moderation. Has been discussed both internally as well as externally.

bassam904 said:

Agree, but im not sure it will happen

Come to the IRC #think-digit on freenode!

^^No issues mate, I guess u know d diff. b/w "Suggestion" and "Demand"

Suggestions keeps d path open to choose among proper opinions...

Again, d suggestions u commented as "Not possible for huge forum" and "misuse of power" are they really impossible?
I'm not a blogger so can't comment on what is problem for huge forum but in case of "misuse of power" u ask us believe in u (not only u but all), if its a vote and all mods are voting, how can one do monopoly there...
and about "Automation" of things...its a matter of time, all things that can be automated will be automated...

^^ But somethings are better when they are not automated

That's what i meant

1. The forum is little slow (in term of loading)... either because of theme or server load.
2. Increase PM size.
3. Allow BB code for signature with restriction on images, html, flash, font size.

I request a Complete Overhaul of current Forum Structure.
we need to add new sections for many topic like Internet & ISP Talk, Feedback Corner for forum related issues etc.
also, need we remove few redundant ones.

And organize it, to get a clean Layout

If admins are ready, we can a detailed discussion on this.

ravi_9793 said:

I think its the theme. There are workarounds in the tutorials section

Its a big thing to do. Dont know if its possible. Depends on the infrastructure.

Reorganizing the forum structure will need someone to manually move every thread between forums. It will be very tedious task and not worth the effort.

Do little by little at leisure

No need to do it all at once.

I am quite optimistic this time. Will see if any new thing happens in a week.

If time if not there, we can adopt Ubuntu Forums method of Archiving old threads and then Switch to a cleaner Layout.

we should let 'lazyness' come between to betterment. Also we have so many highly motivated members who can be trusted to do this tedious task.

Elect NEW MODS / ADMINS ( ban inactive admins who simply work in digit and have nothing to do or dont know wht to do in this forum )

Theme should be changed *************

let them do this first.. then will psot the rest..

as usual they wont care about our thoughts......

so its simply waste of thread,,,

I feel Digit people are neglecting this forum

naveen_reloaded said:

/Offtopic, plz report to "Optimism vs Pessimism" thread

I think the forum is good as it is... the mods are also doing their work well. Two things I would like to mention (they already mentioned though) :-

1) Try and make it a little faster
2) Please allow us to use BB Code and images, flash stuff in sigs.... that would be good.

Thats all. I dont have much complains with the forum/admins/mods.

1. Prune up old posts [already mentioned] --- appoint some more mods if you want [temporary basis] to help you out on this ....

2. Appoint new mods[or atleast show us some proof that most of the current greens are active !!] ... particularly during the day time when some greens have their own work to do [not blaming them at all]...

3. any chance of getting rid of these ads ?? [i know the revenue bit is present...but they're kinda annoying on a browser used out of the box :))

]

4. if you're re organizing the layout, can we have a FLAME THREAD/SECTION ?? some place where we can continue FLAMING without risking a BAN

[lowest priority...but we do need a true "FIGHT CLUB" to get some stuff cleared out...]

Just want to add one more thing:

Don't make this thread just another like this one:
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=85042

Such a huge thread with so many complains and suggestions, but no one is there to listen.

prunning old threads is not a good idea... espeically in a tech forumm..c oz there are huge no of QnA .... loads of question asked... and answered... so wht if some one is comming to see it...

but prunning can be done in Chitchat section .. more over its not the reall problem .. since its the digit who is going to take care of the space and cost of running the site...

I feel that the very first and topmost priority is to add/delete mods to/from list. I can't say the same for the admins.

Please improve the market section...I had to post 2-3 times to make my post available on Market

WTF i dont think any Admin will pay a heed to this thread
This Forum has become a mess i.e many active and contributing members have left this forum even i visit this forum occasionally
This forum has lost its charm and it can only be brought back by admins who don't pay any attention
I know mods Cant do much so no point in blaming them

So Its my sincere Request to ravi to make a forum and allow it to be hosted on his server

so that we all Can say bbye to Digit Forum

1.Update the vbulletin
2. *www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=172978
The Good Classic Kirsch Theme that we used to have earlier..

Two things from my side:
1.) Revert to the older look. (Phpbb was it?)
2.) More smileys (gif smileys especially)

why are you guys so keen on having new smileys ??? its not THAT high priority requirement... lets have a solid bug free(at least partially) forum first .. .then maybe we could have all the eye candy...

@naveen_reloaded pruning is necessary mate...chit chat being the prime contender .. but we also need to clean up from some other sections too...like Tech News, Random News etc... i mean what was "news" about a couple of years ago isn't so anymore !!!
QnA and other sections only need a small amount of clean up and not as much as Chit chat does.

red_devil said:

It's a request & not a demand. Everyone has their own preferences. I, for one, have a great affinity towards forum smileys. It's great fun to have those quirky little smileys. I don't see a reason why we can't post our views when it's a question on forum improvements. BTW these are only suggestions & not everything would be implemented at once. So none of us have made this to be on high priority.

Take cue from other forums (like TE) and reorganize this to include more specific sections (like ISP talk etc)

Some more suggestions:

1) Bring a good theme.
2) Big avatar alongwith image signature.
3) Unique user titles alongwith cool graphics like ubuntu coffee beans.
4) More subsections. E.g within Opensource there should be Fedora, Ubuntu etc.
5) Super Mods should be lessened. Keep only the most active one's.

hey don't get me wrong...it is fun having those smileys yes..and you can post your views too..again not a problem...what i said was we need to first set right all the basic stuff ..vbulletin upgrade etc then move onto eye candy..

nothing personal at all mate

I got that part but you need to realise that everything won't go in the order that we want. People will keep pouring in their opinions (which as of now seem plenty) & eventually the mods/admins would have the final call to implement which they find feasible. Hence the post. Nothing personal from my earlier post either.

I would like the amount of coding to be trimmed. If I save the text alone (html), text file alone takes ~240kb. :O

hmmm...
I agree that the forum needs more smileys and an image signature...
Although many of the other suggestions are more urgent...
keeping in mind the suggestions from the previous thread as well

@Rhitwick, we are always working on the forum in the background.

@everyone else, pleae continue posting suggestions.

^^yippie

Please list out already done improvements in first post when you are done with them. That will make it easier to see what has been done till now.

The forum is too slow to load even on the broadband. Fixing this must be the first priority. By the time the page is loaded, you've almost lost your libido.

and @Anorion ichi is right....do let us know if you've gone ahead and done something to the forum...no point in us just typing out stuff when these are hardly implemented.

Are...............tu bhi na
padh thik se...

its "To see" not "seeing" :-D

I need moar smilies.

Suggestion 1 - Fix the darn * bugs especially the no. of views glitch.
Suggestion 2 - * the old MODS.
Suggestion 3 - Make new mods, ones who are more than just active on this forum.

The most important:-
Suggestion 4 - Please pay ATTENTION to the FIRST 3 SUGGESTIONS!

kalpik said:

How about the mods (amongst themselves) deciding the time of shifts, new mods (if required), just like din said?

It's not that the mods are not doing their job (although some are not , sadly

), but at times there are 6-5 mods online, and at times, none.

This can also be addressed.

everyone is saying to delete old threads older than 1yr....but there r threads dat are active which r older than 1yr..plz don't close these threads even if they look alien to new comers here.

btw...I think its nothing to do with the working of mods hav to do with the current performance of this forum, its just dat it lost its old charm when there was so many quality members were here...so many of them left or r inactive ( some of them said to me it has something to do with some old mods banning some people for their own reasons and stuffs like dat)

A

the only major issue with this forum for me is the performance of the web pages in the forums. The pages and links takes too much time to load, rest all is fine and also consider redesigning the interface as this old php based interface is too commonly found everywhere, I expect a digit specific forum design.

Ok, so far from what i have read, the high priority stuff is already listed on the first post.

C

How about having a minimum number of characters required for each post? It'll help reduce spam.

beta testing said:

Won't work out because the improved spammers post long posts.

nice initiative, hope admins will see and implement it

Kirsch..

^^^ kirsch

^^
Hmm yea.

My suggestion

Newcomers should not be allowed to sell stuffs in bazaar section for atleast the first month and should have atleast 50 or 100 posts to create a thread in bazaar.

It will reduce the chances of fraud dealings

^ +1

keep us informing what changes have taken place plz

krates said:

none till now

Another bug:
If a user hasn't put anything in his signature, then no matter how many times he edits his posts other users don't get to know about that.

^ ^ ^ I noticed that too!!

T

^^Then why not using this unique feature?

LOL..... I never knew that

Vbulletin is supposed to be most secure and no bug forum script. I am sure, the webmaster of digit has installed any non-supported plugin or edited vbulletin files for custom requirement.

I will suggest:
uninstall all plugins -> upgrade to latest VB -> install only supported plugins -> change theme -> edit header .phpand footer.php files as per requirement.

What i think, is that they might have paid a lot for the custom theme so that it can match the look of the site. That particular theme is breaking a lot of stuff. But i dont think they will change the them

Some new and good mods?

kalpik said:

I don't think so.........

Vbulletin current version has inbuilt plugins for ads..............
Vbulletin has a supported plugin for additional sidebar..........
Editing a Vbulletin theme is very easy. Login as admin, and edit the theme from a very easy interface.

The current theme of digit forum is default theme of Vbulletin, but webmaster has changed its color combination and few images... also edited header and footer page.

The Current theme sucks & is full of bugs, it should be changed

To reduce no. of vague posts, users with a minimum of 35-40 posts only should be allowed to post in Market section.

ionicsachin said:

bazaar section is already moderated section. Now threads are moderated before it is live to members.

but the problem is even now i see many members whose post count is 1 or 2 and they have something for sale there......i doubt if they later use the forum

ionicsachin said:

IMHO they have the right to sell their products as long as it is not spam.

Has anyone noticed that attachments put up on the forum is corrupt when downloaded? Admins/mods please confirm this and please increase the size of attachments. Though we put up images on other hosting sites, there might be a necessity to put text files of Hijackthis as attachment as posting the whole damn thing will make the page crawl and eat up bandwidth.

Okay, so there are tons of suggestions on "forum improvements" but none has been implemented till now. Any update on this issue yet?

I have been given the word to wait for sometime! So that's what we'll do! Wait

kalpik said:

For how long? (I mean, when will the discussion continue?)

I think its time that ThinkDigit should be updated with vBulletin
Also vBulletin 3.8.1 is a lot faster that 2.7.x versions
Also Infractions should be added for spammers

thewisecrab said:

Wait for a week at least! After that ill start bugging the admins again

D@rekills4 said:

lol...thanks for all the pains you've taken mate...but I honestly don't see any improvements coming...if the admins were serious enough, they would've done/atleast attempted to do things looong time ago..

though no harm in trying again...so we'll keep bugging you..you keep bugging the admins

1. make a rule in bazaar section that a picture with user name and post date mandatory

2. Dont allow users with 1 posts or so post in bazaar section... make it a min 50 or so. the bazaar section is looking so poor.

3. Change this freaking theme.

this thread is going deep into abyss soon...so a BUMP

What the fook happened. I cannot reply in Advanced editor. It says

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters.

See *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1065352&postcount=52

EDIT
I think it is shown only if there is automerging when same user makes two successive posts.
Means bug not fixed fully.

Pls use a theme with fluid width.

You asked us to pour our sincere suggestions, so we all did it generously. Members took the time to spot the bugs and follow-up the bugs.

And now none of the 6 admins have any time to come here and provide an update except for template sentences like "We are always working"(but then where are the results? You can't be so unlucky that you have been working for the past 2 months and absolutely no result to show?)

What are you wanting to show to the helpful people? That you are some very busy people who don't give a fcuk to whatever help members actively offer?

That's right.
Even from our busy schedules we all take time to point out the bugs & it's the admins who are ever busy. Seriously WTF !!

Well I've a very bad habit of clicking the "New Posts" button every few seconds (may be within 15sec).
Previously there was no probs...now what's this.

oh btw, the jump to section below the quick reply seems to be missing.

^^Also, I feel that page load time too has improved slightly.

Yeah I noticed that on a Reliance Data Card(154.4 KBPS).

But when I click the "Post Quick Reply", it comes, "An error has occurred in the submission of your message" or so. But on refreshing, it becomes alrite again. Try to fix that.

But it's getting better, happy about that.

Oh wow, I can see some changes now. The whos online list is not show on the index page. This will give a performance boost.

Thanks Admins.

I am also finding it strange. Are that much resources used in search operation that they are forcing user to avoid using that option?

It's gone and the online users list is gone and quick-post always gives an error and the site itself gave me a 'database error' the first time I opened it today and... and... and...

This thread was all about suggestions so here is one "suggestion" to the admin ---> Shut down the freakin forum if you can't handle it or don't have the time or whatever the fck it is !!!!!!!!! :-x

I cant search the forums now. Even after waiting out those $h!tty 2 minutes. it says "Please try again after 119 secs"

IMO, The "similar threads" that show up after every page of a thread needs a cleanup. I think it is the reason for the majority of bumps we see. (some "similar" treads are 5 years old :???:

)

Eureka!!!!!!
I was also thinking how could newbies bump old threads, they surely don't use search option...

Good observation..

Phpbb3 Ftw

Quick Jump is a must, how can any forum survive without it.

Quick reply doesn't work, it gives error but it doesn't posts whatever one writes.

Clicking on new posts in little timegaps requires you to wait.

How much can the forum get worse??

looks like the quick reply bug is sorted out.. didn't get any error message while i replied in the FOOTBALL CHANNEL ..

so in the 5 pages this thread has run into, there is only Hitboxx and KALPIK among the mods to have posted here ... ADMINS ... guess there are none.

And why is this "POSTED AGAIN" stuff showing on everyone post?

Well if it's a temporary thing like "working on it, etcetera" then fine, take the time and produce something better. But for Pete's sake, somebody say something, it is going on.., doing this., doing that. . c'mon guys, Anorion, cyberjunkie..?

Now, don't say like that. At least he was here, and good/bad something is going on. These new bugs mean they are working which is causing this new bugs.
But, I guess they are brainstorming much and coming up with these wicked ideas.
Why can't they concentrate on "JUST" fixing the bugs mentioned here and leave the feedback thing to us.

>>Someone here complained about time not showing in case of auto merged. His wish is full-filled; now time is showing, even one "Posted Again" thing is added.
>>Someone @the Admin group thought "Forum Jump" was un-necessary, and removed it. (Bad idea)
>>And someone of them underestimated the post frequency of our forum. He thought no two posts are submitted within 2 minutes. Now why did he come to this conclusion I don't know.

@Admins, a humble request, please concentrate only on the current issues, enhancement bad mein karte hai...thik hai.

@admins:
Please remove that Posted again and put a simple horizontal rule in its place like I notice in MyBB.

ok so where are we now ?

the old bugs continue to exist .. and new ones (albeit unintentionally) have cropped up

anyways, i'm sure someone is attempting to get rid of the old bug..meanwhile please

1. put the "forum jump" option back in asap.
2. get rid of the "POSTED AGAIN" message with those 2 lines. [or if you want to keep that, can you please change the color/font of the text ??]

these two currently are the most annoying ones out on the forum

-----------------------------------------
Posted again:

.

and so is this "FOLLOWING ERRORS occuRED"

now i wonder which of the 3 is more annoying

Please bring forum jump back

I once again think that Market section shud be open to users with a minimum of 35-40 posts....this way at least the people who wish to sell will get used to the forum, otherwise they'll just sell and ditch the forum

Blaaah .. The Ajax seems to be disabled so I cant approve posts in Bazaar section .. Whenever I select any message, the counter doesnt increase .. :frustrated: ..

i'm getting this duplicate post thing way too often now...anyone else facing similar problems ?

forum screwed. lol fun..

Nice going. Now they've reduced the number of posts that are visible on a single page in a thread, to a measly 10.

EDIT: That counts as an improvement, right? Does it reduce the time to fetch a page? I hope it does, but I'm not so sure... :?:

yeah i noticed but you can change the number of posts on a page by changing you're options in the user control panel

i think most of us here has good enough bandwidth to see you tube videos

can you admins upgrade the forum for integrating youtube videos?

Offcourse it does.
I am wondering was this change required?? lol First remove the pesky ad's & then do such things.

Guys, for the last time (yes, I know there were so many last time but its final) I invite/request to come and pour best ideas.
I'm not a very much into web dev. or blogging so I'm a noob in those fields. So, from a Layman's point of view here I'm summing up the issues I think should be changed.

1>Slow server. Pages open very slow sometimes.
2>Attachments not working.
3>Quick Reply not working properly.
4>That annoying "Posted Again" thing
5>SPAM handling
6>Search function. Why wait till 120 sec.
7>Forum Jump
8>A nice and light theme.
9>Smilies

These are all the issues I could think of. If I've missed some, Plz put here.

Now, I've some questions on solving these.
1>How much of these probs would be sorted out on upgrading the vBulletin?
2>Which kinda experts do we require to fix these issues?
3>Cost? How much is going to cost Digit to fix these (and how can we help)
4>How much time would it require to fix all these?

Put ur thoughts here and let us ALL MAIL to the EDITOR(ya editor, and we all mail, 'include the thread URL in ur mail') asking him to look into the probs and solutions stated in this thread. Else we all will become inactive members. No feedback on mag, no demad for next month, no replying to newbie queries, no SPAM reporting. Total non co-operation.
I request to the active MODs too, for joining this activity.

(Am I being too optimistic, may be, but lets give it a try, what do u say
Worst Case scenario: Raboo ban us all for disturbing him, then who cares, people r leaving anyway
Best Case Scenario: Forum is fixed

)

^ +1. I agree

rhitwick said:

Yeah, thats the word :smile:

its the old problem of TDF :grin:

, me experience .......................grrrr

Guys, u r supporting the cause . Thanx. But, its not enough, if we r gonna meet the higher authority we should have something in our hand. Sirf rone-dhone se kam nahi hoga.
Be specific and to-d-point on what u think is problem and what should be done for that.
REPLY.

Now here is someone more sensible and constructive. Good going rhitwick.

For now, I have posted your problems in lounge, and requested the admins to elevate kalpik (or whoever is willing) to admin status so he can give time and sort things out. I will keep you guys posted.

I sent a PM to the admins.. And it seems they are planning to shift to better hosting.. And things should be better from there onwards.. Lets just wait for some more time.. (like we have any other choice

)

^^^ talked to fatbeing today ...

He is saying the admins are finding a new hosting so members should wait for some days ....

Hmm...

First:-
Problem:-
People just don't read the rules. They post things in a bizzare manner everywhere. Anyone remember that joke about forum rules I posted? That was actually sarcasm born out of anger.

Potential Solution:-
I still say admins should consider including a Rule of the day box on the forum. Remember, I'm not talking about popup windows or something. I'm talking about just a small 100x100 or even 80x50 box on the top right corner. which just keeps flashing the rules. Heck, even a news ticker kind of thing would do! I mean, its as easy as a marquee tag!!!!

Next:-
Problem:-
Spam.

Potential Solution:-
None. Not required!!!
Installation of some akismet alternative for phpBB??? I mean what the hell!!! The mods here are perfect! Its just that people don't know how to 'activate' them. I say there's no anti spam solution required. kalpik is better than Akismet, really! I'm sure rhitwick agrees!

kalpik said:

lol , i can give them my part of hosting account of 100-200 gb space and 1 tera byte traffic a month , do they want ? FOR FREE !!

Now, my question is, what is fixed or new addition or any feature which is removed (

Anyone noticed anything.

^^ ya me to wants to know what he did

he just too his time to read all the new posts nothing else

so, none noticed anything....

"forum will be closed from afternoon to evening under the name of maintenance to save hosting cost and no improvements will be done"

that's my best guess for this forum today

im tired and im going to sleep

GOOD BYE.

The forum was down from 10PM to uncertain period (as I went to bed at 12.30A.M) yesterday.

Anyone knows when did it came back??

why don't the 'powers that be' over here atleast notify that the site will go down for maintenance before hand ?

^^ROFLMAO.

just found another bug in the forum {not sure if it is forum wide bug}

i had started a thread in software troubleshooting section entitled "bootloader"

a member 'ghost is at rest' replied to it to which i responded... now when i browsed through the section, i found that the index had the last reply by 'ghost is at rest' but when i visited the thread, it showed that my reply was the last one...

is it a bug ?

this is how it appears on the software trouble shooting section's index page :
*i43.tinypic.com/bim23d.png

and this is the thread content :
*i40.tinypic.com/lxfkz.png

EDIT :

i see 2 improvements...

1. the number of views is no longer number of replies + 1
2. even without a siggy, post edited message is now shown

well...hope some more improvements come soon...
a

^ ^ ^ Yes, I found the same. In the UrT thread in Gamerz section, the last reply was being shown by Ecstasy although there was another reply by beta_testing just below it!!!

^^ err yeah!

Kool.......this is bhutiya bug...

Wow, so u found two improvements.
Koi, ek checklist banao yaar. Dekhte kitna baki hai...

I found a new WTF issue.

First 120sec. wait between two posts, now check this,

*www.imgx.org/thumbs/small/34426_gxopx/WTF_PT2.JPG

One step ahead and two steps back.

Any logic behind it?? By introducing this, is our forum improving on speed??
Please enlighten me...

Change we can believe in, but will never get... :lol:

the forum is down again there is no use talking to these ppl anymore,im going to the chip forum it feels much better than this one.

I think the admins or the thinkdigit people should just shut down this forum since they don't care about it OR we could make our own forum and lets all shift over there.

What ya guys think?

I have moved to TechEnclave and will be doing minimal posting here. this one sucks

^^yes. I am really really happy at TE which is faster than this crap!!!

Please close this thread if you have no clue how to fix it!!!

Probably the best suggestion so far - close this damn thread.

I don't know whether I'm confused or is this a bug:

I see Krazy Bluez has made a post in this thread: *img266.imageshack.us/img266/9679/34439766.th.jpg

But when I go to the thread, I don't see it: *img266.imageshack.us/img266/6151/60742103.th.jpg

I try to go to his post using the 'whoposted' thing: *img266.imageshack.us/img266/3043/64858157.th.jpg *img87.imageshack.us/img87/4959/68005913.th.jpg

Then I click on the link of his post and I go again to the thread: *img266.imageshack.us/img266/1849/82962441.th.jpg But I still don't see his post. err wtf?

Edit: Now the replies have crossed 30, and I can see Krazy Bluez's post on the 2nd page (after 30+ replies), but in my User CP, replies are 28 when Krazy Bluez posted.

lol...Still none of the bug fixed??

O

^^^nope
digit is one of the leading tech magazine in india and it is now owned by 9.9 media which is also a leading media company in india how hard is it for you guys to get a better hosting and hire a person to look after the forum? i believe you guys are getting good profits now and why is this place is still run the old way?

*www.gnucitizen.org/images/spoon-2008-04-21.jpg

Or was there a spoon ?

There are too many damned spammers here who bump old threads posting their ads. This forum badly needs a spam blocking extension.

why can't they just close all the threads that weren't modified or posted to for last 60 days.

Previously we could see how many people are there in a subforum which was enclosed in brackets but what happened to it now??
And the forum jump is a must, try to bring it back atleast.

^^Try Quick Links> Who's Online. It will tell you what each and every online individual is doing on this forum.

anything cant be suggested more , they are not even fixing the bugs .......

Whenever I try to post something using the quick reply box, I recieve the following message:-

This post is a duplicate of a post that you have posted in the last five minutes. You will be redirected to that thread.

It does get posted... but hey, we're not following the policy, "If it aint broke, don't fix it", are we?

So the forum was down again..........
After revival I found 2-3 SPAMS (which is only new thing I found)....
Anyone noticed anything else??

only tihng i am worried is that , with frequent downs and no admins bothering about the forum.. i am fearing whether the forum will be taken down..

if thats so.. i fear that very unique articles and works posted by many members here will be WASTED !!!!!!

this is place of tuts and help section and many other more..

i think the admin or whoever it is should atleast ask us some help .. like donation to run the server or something similar...

at present the forum is no where near to being online !!!!! let them put the forum online .. then we will discuss about IMOPROVING IT !!!!!

C

^^
Possible. They might be thinking of closing it down.

see any improvements guys ?

i still get the "following errors occurred.." thing...

Okay

The vBulletin version has been bumped up, server seems to be responding bit faster.

The profile page has changed and some some options added.

I hope they get rid away of this ugly Red theme...my eyes hurt now...

Forum is faster than before, lil changes is UserCP

Nice.. Ajax issues also resolved i think.. Quick reply works

Really? Cool.

EDIT: Naaaaah. Still says the error.

Quick reply works??? Lemme check!

Err.. no.. it didnt work now! But i swear it worked on another thread!

/* testing quick reply */

Nope, quick-reply still produces that error and you have to manually refresh the page to see if the post was made!!!

Check check Testing Quick Reply.........

Test result :

works with normal errors....the "error with submission.." thing ..

status quo maintained

RESULT: Ghanta kaam kaar raha hai!! STill the same!

lol between me posting "testing quick reply" and the above reply, there were so many more replies in between

All cause of ME

^ ^ ^
Improvement of some kind, eh?

Oh well, at least the thing gets posted!!!

it will be nice to have him back

Listen you digit guys. Have you had a look at CHIP's forums(now don't tell me not to refer to chip blah blah blah.....)?

The speed is awesome. No downtimes or anything.

While its simply upside down here at the digit forum. Browsing speed is damn slow. Downtimes are more frequent than the traffic jams that bugger metros.

If you Digit guys don't do anything to improve the forum, even after reading thousands and thousands of posts about the helllotta problems that plague digit forum and shamelessly block your ears with the corks from your bottles, then I have nothing to say.

WE NEED A REVOLUTION HERE GUYS>>>>>>>>

^^ NO! That was not the reason. For anyone wanting to know the reason, i dont have the audacity to type it all out again. Please refer here: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=85042&page=21

If someone has any more concerns, please feel free to PM me. Let this thread be what it was intended to be. Thanks.

This forum requires that you wait 120 seconds between searches.

can this be reduced to 20 seconds

For editing the post, one needs to go off to a different page but in many other forums, it can be done in the same page. It will be a plus point for the forum if this is changed.

I think javascript is not working, code break

hmmm anyone ready for a Non-cooperation type of thing? Lets leave the forum or stop posting or start useless spamming to pressurize the Administrators so that they can rectify the problems as soon as possible. Else they will not give a damn to it.

I guess they will surely not like to see the members of the forum leaving.

If atleast 5 people say that you are ready to 'organize for action', I'll create a thread for this.

More people will surely follow.

I only see Kalpik Online most of the time. Are other MODS always under Hidden Mode or cares less to visit the forum :?:

<kalpik> Anorion_: cyber|sleep no JS works on the forum..
<kalpik> Anorion_: cyber|sleep all those dropdown menus, none of em works
<Anorion_> yes
<Anorion_> moving to new hardware
<Anorion_> and servers closer back home
<Anorion_> will take some time, website's being redesigned too

Anyone who wants to leave the forum, is free to do so.. You want to plan a movement of some sort, do it via PM..

@ kalpik

what is the real situation ..

why is bugs arent fixed ..

it seems u r the only one who shows up..

Read two posts above you. That is the situation, as i know it

kalpik said:

Any specific reason why not a thread?

Moreover, I was thinking to start a social group, but even they don't seem to work. *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/group.php?groupid=41

The only reason is that its NOT gonna do any good! Spamming the forum will get you a ban, like it did to rohan, not posting or joining another forum, lemme tell you, the admins dont care..

^ Sure they don't. We've seen the forum in a pathetic condition for about a year.

They don't even care to reply to a PM.

(no personal offense to that Admin)

Then why do it if you know its not gonna work?!

^ Nothing wrong in giving it a try. Spamming is the last thing we would resort to BTW.

Please stop the blame game!

I don't know why is every one blaming this forum? I want to know what have you ppl done to improve this forum? So many of my queries have been unanswered as most of u ppl are only interested in creating & answering dumb threads in the chit chat section. I'm not against the chit chat section but u ppl shud pay attention to other sections as well.

@Kalpik: Have you got any information on how long its gonna take to complete the upgrade? One more thing (suggestion, actually) will the admins please remove that red colour from the new site's interface? Red doesn't go easy on the eyes!

Man, this disabled javascript is such a draaaaaaag!

To Admin: Meanwhile a left over junk at the end of the forum page...

Wtf the moderators are doing , i created 3 same threads in bazaar section to sell my mobile and none of these threads are yet running . It says that it will posted if only the moderators accept it . now wtf , do they actually even see them . there are so many threads which look fake in bazaar section and my genuine thread with real pictures of my cell is not getting posted . By the way how much time it requires for the moderator to accept a new thread ?

Its because forum has only one active mod kalpik
He can't handle everything.

F

I seriously think you need to cut the mods some slack. Although I like irritating kalpik and hitboxx in IRC about the forums. Just so you know there are admins in IRC also. Why not drop by and pop some of the above questions to them

. Nonetheless , I see improvement going on in the forum. Its much faster or responsive than it was or something magical happened to my bsnl connection.

Yeah, its so good now that, even SPAM activity has been doubled withinh last few (3-4) days.

Yup , unfortunately the number of active mods are dwindling I guess

.

^ ^ ^
I dunno about that but that's mainly due to the fact that after the forum upgrade, our great admins forgot to reinstate the Spam Ban tools for the moderators and as a result they are unable to remove all the posts of a spammer with a single click. Hitboxx said something about it in TD v3 thread I think.

Moderators do have a life if you forgot. Anyways Ive approved your thread.

PS: The forum remains down anytime I try to login and now I get a NoJS format even on broadband.The programming sections looks like a battleground where lots of (spam) threads are deleted.

Yea.. The admins ARE working to fix these issues.. And something broke while the upgrade, that's why we are seeing so much spam. And to those wanting to get their thread approved in Bazaar, drop me a PM once you post it. Lot many people do that, and action is taken immediately.

Ah.. The dropdown menus work again!

F

That sounds good

Too much of spam....

^ This forum is the best place for spammers

Programming section is really a spammer's abode.

there is more number of active spambots on this forum that real members...

Sorry, but we cannot possibly delete all spam posts with the "delete posts as spam" functionality of the forum broken.

Look here!! Here's a list of 17 spams created by a bot!!!

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/search.php?searchid=3304651

does that mean we have to report each and every SPAM, even its from same spammer?

All i can say is that once the spam deletion thing is fixed, please report any residual spam that you see..

rhitwick said:

Yes, but even harder is DELETING all that you people report. I've seriously HAD it deleting all that spam manually. Imma gonna take a break and wait until this is fixed. I do not have the time and patience to delete everything by hand

SPAM after SPAM

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/search.php?searchid=3306001

As the thread title says Forum Improvement Suggestions, I would like to suggest the mods to make a separate thread for newcomers to introduce themselves!!! Many newcomers are creating their own thread for this!! and also many technology forums has a thread dedicated on this!! Some even have a different subsection for this!! Therefore it would good step if mods make it!!

WTF! The Programming subforum has been trashed FULL with spam. :-x

Can't the mods just clean it? It takes just few clicks.

You know what I had to censor 90% of what I would have posted. But great, if I complain and fail to oblige by the rules, I will be banned, but the mods, if they don't do their job, you cannot even criticize them.

LAME!

^^ Mods cannot do their job efficiently unless the forum is in proper working condition! The "delete posts as spam" functionality is still broken

someone please get the auto merging of posts work again... it was annoying earlier when it worked but displayed a POSTED AGAIN message and now with it completely off, its even more annoying ...

rhitwick said:
Guys, for the last time (yes, I know there were so many last time but its final) I invite/request to come and pour best ideas.
I'm not a very much into web dev. or blogging so I'm a noob in those fields. So, from a Layman's point of view here I'm summing up the issues I think should be changed.

1>Slow server. Pages open very slow sometimes.
2>Attachments not working.
3>Quick Reply not working properly.
4>That annoying "Posted Again" thing
5>SPAM handling
6>Search function. Why wait till 120 sec.
7>Forum Jump
8>A nice and light theme.
9>Smilies

These are all the issues I could think of. If I've missed some, Plz put here.

Now, I've some questions on solving these.
1>How much of these probs would be sorted out on upgrading the vBulletin?
2>Which kinda experts do we require to fix these issues?
3>Cost? How much is going to cost Digit to fix these (and how can we help)
4>How much time would it require to fix all these?

Put ur thoughts here and let us ALL MAIL to the EDITOR(ya editor, and we all mail, 'include the thread URL in ur mail') asking him to look into the probs and solutions stated in this thread. Else we all will become inactive members. No feedback on mag, no demad for next month, no replying to newbie queries, no SPAM reporting. Total non co-operation.
I request to the active MODs too, for joining this activity.

(Am I being too optimistic, may be, but lets give it a try, what do u say
Worst Case scenario: Raboo ban us all for disturbing him, then who cares, people r leaving anyway
Best Case Scenario: Forum is fixed )

Guys, its been three months since my this post.
After that we were given lots and lots of promises.
New server, more bandwidth....blah blah blah

Nothing happened.
Now even the downtime also increased.

I, therefore again call for a NON CO-OPERATION activity. I humbly request to the MODs too join this activity.

And, dear admins, please response.

Hello Everyone!

Here we talk about things to improve upon in our forum. Remember, please suggest stuff in order of priority

Things i can think of right away:

1. Upgrade vBulletin.
2. Fix issues like attachments, AJAX etc.
3. Prune old posts.
4. Add Anti-Spam plugins/mods.

Keep the suggestions coming, ill keep updating this post with the high priority suggestions

Thanks

Spammers should reduce now, took me four hours but I found where the code was broken for recaptcha.

VB is latest version, old posts will NEVER be pruned again, because there's no need to... what's boring old news to you might be really helpful to others.

The quick reply / ajax bug seems to work now. Keep this thread updated with feedback.

Thanks to most of you for doing this the right way, and having the patience to wait for me to get a little free time and fix this. I'll try and keep an eye open for bugs more often.

Kalpik, you're in charge of emailing / calling me if there is something really major that breaks here. Thanks for the efforts you've taken for the community.

There was a thread similar to this one, by mrintech, who is banned now, because he just did not know how to use civilised language. Those who scream, shout, throw tantrums and act like babies, will be treated the same way. Such people are detrimental to what this forum is tryiing to achieve.

Please abide by the rules of this forum, and we will all have a lot of fun, and learn a lot. Don't treat other members, mods or admins like your servants, and call them <insert abuse here> ignorant, or you will get banned. So long as everyone gives each other the respect they expect from others, everything will run smoothly.

Oh, and perhaps a little history will help explain what happened here...

For the past few months, we were getting terrible service from our hosting provider, plus the dedicated server we were on was a little old. Towards the end of May, we shifted to our new server, and upgraded the forum. Then for some reason search engine traffic just dropped drastically. The older forum version was brought back for a week or so to ensure that it was not the cause of the traffic drop.

Once it was ruled out, the latest version was made live again. However, a small bug in SQL caused recaptcha to die, which caused spammers to have a field day here (posting porn, and all sorts of rubbish).

Simultaneously, we're working on a new thinkdigit version, we had the rather fat anniversary issue to bring out, and also have the ongoing anniversary carnival to attend to.

I certainly wish I had as much time on my hands as I did when I started this forum years ago, but sadly, I just do not. Although I will still continue to disappear from the forum fom time to time, I will be available on irc://irc.thinkdigit.com quite often, and mods and members alike are free to bug me in #digit.

For now, I've spent all mmy free time over the past week, trying to get things working, and I certainly hope things are a lot better now. I tackled the critical stuff first, so use the forum for a few days, and then let me know if there are any improvements required. PLEASE do not suggest a theme change, because it is not possible right now, but hopefully we will have one soon enough.

My sincere apologies for the delay!

I think Quick reply is disabled. I can't see quick reply box.

Also you have enabled captcha for old members also, and even for replying post. Please disable captcha for replying posts.... and new threads (for memebrs with more than 10 posts).

10 too less. 50 posts + 10 days of registering fine.

MetalheadGautham said:

10 is sufficient. spammers just make 2-3 posts. And if they fail in first- second try, they won't try again. On my forum I have just set 5 reply to make new thread, and I get almost zero spam posts.

Random question answer (some new type questions) is much better than captcha for new user registration and works like magic to reduce spammers registration.

Also, there is a Vbulletin plugin which can set rules like this:
If total number of posts is less than X, user cannot start new thread.
If total number of posts is less than Y, user cannot post hyperlink.
If total number of posts is less than Z, user cannot post image.
etc...................

Thank you Raaabo

Err.. Quick reply not working as it's supposed to.. It refreshes the page when you click post.. Which it should not..

It's so nice to see Raabo and FatBeing back HERE after so much time... guess people will now STOP complaining about this.... finally TDForum is rising from ashes... **sob**

Good Captchas! But I cant Spambots use QuickReply?

HEY!!! WTH!!! Captchas GONE???? W-H-Y??? I'm sick of these godforsaken S-P-A-M-M-E-R-S!!!

@Raaabo, plz keep captchas.....
a lot of forums use it. Don't worry people will get used to it.

Good to know that the mods/admins were paying heed to all that went wrong here and "righted" them

Keep the captchas, please, it's all right, if it means less spam(sorry, I mean NO Spam), I'm sure the members will consider that madatory captcha only an chore and not a bane

Captcha for new members is fine, but not for older members.

Wow... so things are going good now.. glad to see Quick Links are back... !!!

Wow I can see less spam now(better to say no spam) :))

Thanks admins!

Say, less spam, I, myself have reported two spams today...

Thank you admins and mods.

Much better now

Haha! I want to say less spam too but you're right! There is no spam as far as I can see!

The IRC channel is also a nice place to meet up with other Digit members. Hoping to see more people hang out there as well

Yes, I am there already! :razz:

Other members should also join...

Make up your minds, some people want captcha with all posts some don't. When I added it everyone screamed bloody murder... take a poll or something and let me know what to do.

only for newbies with less than 10 posts need captcha...it will be a gr8 headache for old members for sure.

Err.. The thread tools dropdown stopped working.. I'm on firefox.

^^It's working for me in FF

T

^Working on Firefox 3.0.7

No no captcha for older members please...

kalpik said:

thanx for taking off dat 120sec time limit between searches

Weird! Why isnt it working for me?

testing ajax with a post...

edit: ok so it's not a style modification issue... it must be some server setting.

^ yea, even I tried AJAX with the new style. It didn't work.

Ok.. Thread tool works now after clearing cache.. My bad

Quick search drop down box is disabled for registered users also

^Yes

Now when Super Administrator has done his best to stop regular spammers, mods/admins have started to spam the forum

Maybe.

The ads have even come on the left!

Disc_Junkie said:

may be because forum admin works only on 19" wide screen.

Humble request, please think about member/ guest who are on 14" or 17" monitor.

T

Atleast they should have properly aligned the ads. The layout looks horrible now

oh gr8!! now ads on left too...superb!!

hmm...in the next update plz make big ad banners in the center and the forum on the left and right if possible

those who are on FF, use Tarey_g's NeatDigit extension, it doesn't make me experience all those craps.

Whoa Ads on the left?! And also can you fix the quick reply so it doesn't like refresh everytime something is posted?

Apblockplus + stylish, and this is how the forum looks to me:

I've been offline too much lately. It was such a shock to see lots of things working after returned to the forum! :lol:

Thank you, admins!

One more thing, any chance for the proper functioning of the Signature Image feature? Or maybe you guys should simply delete it. (It looks like a bug, you know!)

@Kalpik
Which script are you using on Stylish? Mine is the Kirsch theme by amitava82

Do the mods/admin expect members to report spam post if such messages are shown regularly?

Hey, I see a new theme has been deployed for our forum. Is it going to stay or trial run.
I kinda like it.
How about a few more smilies??

mmn...finally digit admins are becoming active I think

H

Thanks for an even uglier non-intuitive forum 9.9, I thought maybe once the new look is established, we would find it to be comfortable and forum would be a nice place again. Well apparently, I was wrong.

Whatever happened to asthetics as in spacing, indentation, columns....

*www.imgx.org/thumbs/large/40400_rpt2z/ugly1.png

*www.imgx.org/thumbs/large/40401_5rlku/ugly2.png

Hey both side ads means they are getting too many ads and running out of space to show them.
How do u like ads between two posts? A lot of forums do it.
B/w tarey_g's extension doesn't let me experience those craps.
Cheers to tarey_g.

I use AdBlockPlus in Firefox. This is how the forum looks if I disable the Stylish userscript:

Who is speaking about ads? Ads will never go, so that is a must-on thing. How above the thread tables, spacing, columns and all? Nobody got a problem with that? How cramped the forum has become. That is it for me. I think this is goodbye. Adios.

Anyone tried the advanced reply? It's ridiculously stretched!!

Don't leave. Suggest what u need in change and how would u like to see it. They "may" listen to u.

What's happened to this forum? :???:

I cant view anything clearly, even after disabling Stylish, it's still pretty bad.

Use tarey_g's extension for Firefox. If u don't want to then use Aardavark and R.I.P extensions to fix the blank portions which AdBLock left.
These was a tutorial by Amitav or Gx_saurav or someone else on how to use them.

Forum theme can be easily improved. Just use a light theme like "Krish" ans edit the theme from VBulletin admin panel. Editing a VB theme from admin panel is quite easy.

To have modified header and footer, we can edit header and footer file.

I don't know.. why admins want to give us ugly and buggy theme .

I'll try tarey_g's extension and see what happens!

EDIT: Now using that extension along with Kirsch theme. The header still exists, though.

I don't like this B/W theme....it hurts my eyes... the previous theme was better.. Please admins bring back the previous theme please...

Seems they tried to copy TE's act but ended up spoiling the looks of the forum

Wow At last some good improvements !! i wish may if it was some bit colorful

C

Stop ruining the forum, admins.

its very strenuous for eyes. The white background is too much

some colorful ideas please , make some candy - change the white background to some light colors

TE is 1000 times better organized than this POS forum!!!!And they call themselves India's no1 Tech Navigator......Navigate to Where??Shankarnetralaya
??

the black is like so rough and the tables are scruched up. This is horrible, even the previous one was better

Too cramped! AAAAAAAAA!!!

are the admins learning php development and theme designing with this forum?!!...

The script wont work properly due to the recent forum changes , i will update the code soon.... but what's the use :-?

? Everything is so cramped, I have lost my enthusiasm as a user and in making the extension. Things just don't improve. Everything is getting worse. Even TE has flaws after the upgrade but its like 300% better than what we have here now.

Please can we have that ugly red theme back? At least we could play around with it and make it look like the way we wanted! This layout just plain sucks! I dont even feel like opening the forum

Wait time between two consecutive searches is decreased. Now its only 60sec. Ummm, how about making it 30sec. ?

Lol..this forum is so so so mismanaged , feels like Admins are a bunch of noob!!

Wow, I came back after almost 2 months and i see people are still complaining here. God help the "no.1 Indian PC magazine" forum >.>

im going to stick with his comment "Stop ruining the forum, admins"
this theme sucks i was on the home page trying to change my subscription details and i cant go to subscription page from the home page i can only view the "subscribe" tab here from the forum
wtf?
and the server is too slow :-x

i think i made a mistake by subscribing to your magazine in the first place cause your magazine and your site both sucks i should have better stayed with chip.

do you guys even read this thing or is this for fun?

They have ruined the official IRC too with stupid bots (AI etc). I'm off the digit IRC for good. And i dont think it's gonna be long before i'm off this forum too. You can find us "sane" people at #grind on irc.freenode.net

A

why are they using the irc bots for? moderating? i don't see any moderation there..

you guys need some help with the theme you screwed up the main page with vista background which looks childish.
and find a way to put this on the main page
*i40.tinypic.com/67k46f.gif

this page ===> *www.thinkdigit.com/

Beginning of the end.

I don't understand.... how Digit (9dot9) can be so careless about Digit Forum............
Forum can be fixed in one day.

Digit can also hire some Vbulletin coder for custom theme as per its need.

is there dat old unofficial digit IRC present now? or gone?? I liked dat, the new IRC sux

Amitava's tutorial worked and much better now.

Just wondering whether it is possible to change the red envelope icons (in forum topic list page) and the red arrows (same page)

Well, the wish is: I want a separate section in UserCP as Favourites. Here I want to have the threads queing up which I mark "Add to favourite". A new option for this would be present in "Thread Tools" with or replacing "Subscribe to this thread"

Reason: Users like me post in numerous threads and all of them lost in "Subscribed posts" jungle. In a hurry if I try to find a particular thread its very difficult. (u know our search facility, I hate that. I would rather browse 2-3 pages).

Admins, Mods and other users what do u say? Is it a reasonable demand?

i agree.....

Sometimes while refreshing a page, a page with a differenet theme loads up and looks like this.

*img195.imageshack.us/i/deskfvw.png/

If the theme could be made permanent it would have been better.

^^This has never happened to me before... now thats something new.

//Where is the complain thread??

Watever, let me say here.

Why there does not come any notification for "visitior messages". Now the notification only for PMs, previously it used to come for visitior messages too.

Please bring it back.

Oh, I'm talking about the top-left section where

Welcome, rhitwick.

^I didn't get it for PM either

Something isn't fine.

Earlier we could see our Profile by clicking our name in the top right corner.

Welcome, ico

"ico" used to actually be a hyperlink.

Moreover, try to click on the little arrow on the right of Quick Links. You'll notice something weird.

thanks for reporting gagan i also noticed the same thing
i think it will be better if the link to our profile is fixed.

@Anorion, oh ho, so those links are going to be printed in Sept issue :-D

Sometimes the text message box is not displayed on the page for which I cannot type. Is anybody the facing the same condition?

Disc_Junkie said:

this happens with the kirsch theme & not with the default.

The posting problem appears to still exist. When I post something on the quick reply box, it will post but will redirect me to the big reply box saying I have to wait. If I had fall for this, I would have posted twice.

Is it possible to have a "Save as draft" option for our posts?

Well, I don't know if it can be implemented in forums and how much would it be used by members, but it would be very helpful for me :-D

Add this feature

When some one add new thread there should be a list appear which title matches with the title of the new thread so he can get ideas about similar thread which is already exist in forum..

Hold it guys... Let the admins clear the backlog of suggestions to be implemented and then go for new ones.

Okay, now this is way too much!!!

hello guys
i dont know whether it is right position or not
but what is the condition to post new threads
(my this id is years old but i used to read threads only but posting new threads is restricted & i created a new id but figured out that i cant post new posts from that id too, i ran into a little problem that i need solution of

plz help

I think its limited by postcount. Post more in the forum until you reach 10 posts and then try. If it doesn't work, increase your postcount to 25 and try. Else, PM an admin like Anorion. He'll tell you what to do.

These should be mentioned in FAQ of forum.

I am trying to create a new post but always show me this

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Hi TEAM DIGIT,
I am a not so regular reader of your magazine, but I am able to catch 7-8 issues of your magazine per year. I love the magazine and I hoped to love its forum also. I joined a few months back, and didn't had much time to catch up with it. But I am back at last. I didnt wanted my first post to look like this, but I can help myself.

There is something very much wrong with your forum. It seem to give more important to advertisements than on the content. Its interface has flash based advertisements on all sides. The pages takes a lot of time to load, on my 512k broadband. I dont know how much time it takes to load at slower speed.

I know that selling the advertisement space in this forum are an absolute necessary, but it need not to be flashy. U can put static ads in place of them.

Also the forum occupies a small area compared to the whole page. It seem to be cornered by advertisements on all sides. At least remove the side advertisements and let this forum occupy some space it deserves.

I am a reputed member of another highly reputed technology forum (i think naming it will be against the rule), and I just love it simple yet advertised interface. I am attaching a screenshot of the above stated forum as an example.
*i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt175/sshaggy/Capture-1.jpg
Thats how a technology forum should look like. More importance to the content, advertisements come later.
If you need more advertisement, then advertise on your home page. It is common for many tech companies and publishers like you to have a website and a complimenting forum. But you are the only one giving such flashy ads in the forum.

Also,a single page is crammed up with 30 posts, thats way too much. Limit that to 20 or 25 maximum. No one wants to scroll that much down.

This is my first post I hope that I am not taken otherwise I intended. I am just making a point. Its just a suggestion and its up to you, consider it or flush it.

^Read this thread, there are many suggestions yet to be implemented.

Meanwhile, stand in queue it seems.

The admins would be having a good laugh all the time at us. :lol:

^If they visit the forums, that is.

Dear TDF.. please make sure that this will not happen again.

You can adjust the number of posts you want on a page

Go to User CP -> Edit Options -> Thread Display Options
Choose from 5,10,15,30,50

what about a ShoutBox ?

Why does it give error of double posting whenever I post a reply but the reply is posted anyway.

kanjar said:

Why does it give error of double posting whenever I post a reply but the reply is posted anyway.

AFAIK, it is a bug in the code which makes random double posts. To prevent that from happening and to curb the threat of spammers, a 30 second time limit between two posts was introduced. So you can make only one post every 30 seconds and the double post error is because of the bug in the code.

Thanks admins, but it is little late.

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

Few Quick suggestions:
1) Remove ads/banners from sidebar.
2) Instead use ads after first post and second/ second last post.

change ? Interesting.. test post..

i had made a new thread almost a week back in the bazaar section regarding the sale of my ipod nano and Microsoft combo, y the heck is it not visible til now :banghead:

wats wrong with it:flu-weird2:
can any mod plz upload it :hissyfit:

^^ Thread approved. Please add images. Also, in future, PM me for approving threads on Bazaar.

^^^
oh thanx a lot Kalpik :thumbs:

finally after a long long wait its approved :grin:

i hav added d images and wil keep dat in mind in the future...

Ok, I want two things.

First, make "must watch movies..." thread a sticky. Come on, its the most long lasting thread in TDF for chit-chat. photography is made sticky, can't it be? Why ignore movies? just because it is looked upon for time pass only. Please its time you give the thread its due :-D

Second: Why can't we have thread on torrent site invitation alerts? All forums (reputed ones too) have one such... why can't we?
