Senate Sponsored: SWF Suggestion Box (No smiley suggestions!)

[Fuelbi]

Can someone tell my why there's so many outdated links on this website?

The FAQ is outdated, the partners links are outdated, the chat link is outdated, and I'm not sure, but I think that the wiki link on Revolution is outdated.

I mean, if you're not gonna fix the Friend Finder at this point, why not take it out of the FAQs? If there hasn't been any new partners in forever and the links on the bottom are outdated where the website doesn't even exist anymore, why not take them out? If the chat doesn't work because it tells me it's down, why not take that out as well? And the wiki link... well I'm not sure if that's been fixed yet where it links to the new smash wiki page and I'm honestly too lazy to switch skins to see, but if it isn't then fix it because taking it out would be stupid and that button is part of the integral design of the skin anyways.

I mean, is it really that hard to make it so that you can fix these things? You can apparently add Facebook icons but how you can't fix things that have been outdated for years is beyond me

We're looking into solving all those problems pending a major update sometime this summer.

 

[Indigo Jeans]

I'm hoping this overhaul will include premium possibly?

 

[Zankoku]

I think that's a question better answered by Bionic.

 

[Indigo Jeans]

Okay. I don't feel like bugging him though because I'm sure many others are already doing that for me.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Is premium being extended for people who already have it? My year isn't up until fall, but still useful information if it happens to not be up then.

So what kinds of things would you say are gonna be updated this summer besides the outdated links?

 

[Zankoku]

The outdated forum technology comes to mind.

 

[#HBC | Scary]

I'm not sure if this has been asked, but will there ever be a "Sheilda" or Zelda/Sheik section for character discussion, considering she now has her own spot on the Brawl tier list?

I see Killik trying to start something up with that thread but it'd probably be better for there to be an entire character board if they already hold a tier list position.

 

[deepseadiva]

That's stupid, lol.

 

[#HBC | Scary]

Awwwwww, that's not nice. Maybe it would make stubborn people that only played one or the other think about playing both.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I don't play brawl but you're probably changing into zelda to get kills and shiek at early percents. I don't see how this strategy is different than the sum of the parts.

 

[#HBC | Scary]

I would like to go more in depth with this. There's alot more to the combo than just switching for kills.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Even so, the only [unique] strategy that would be discussed in that forum is "when should i transform" which i'm sure is pretty easy to figure out.

 

[sheikamaru]

To the normal person, yes it would seem like that is the only topic to talk about if it were to go through.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I could be wrong; I think the argument i'm presenting is the only one against it. Personally, i have no stake in the matter (i don't even enter the brawl boards more than a few times a year) but if you could convince me im sure you could convince everyone else that this isn't just a joke

 

[Mic_128]

The "Shelda" spot on the tierlist is counting all of Sheik and all of Zelda as one character. To make a room for Shelda would mean to make a room for discussing all of Sheik and all of zelda, which is what the currently existing two rooms are for.

 

[sheikamaru]

Theres only like for or five threads in the zelda room. Joining the two wouldn't hurt anyone imo

 

[Mic_128]

Leaving them separate won't hurt either, in fact it would help save confusion about people mistaking talking about sheik when they're talking about zelda and vice versa.

 

[sheikamaru]

Well yea. But picture this.. Let's say it goes through. There will be some one who makes a thread specifically for someone who wants to main sheik and another for zelda to not have any confusion. And possibly another for both. And each thread is so accurately titled and detailed that no one would get confused eh? :D

 

[Zankoku]

And let's say someone new comes in and makes a thread that isn't accurately titled at all.

 

[sheikamaru]

A high level mod such as yourself could just mosey on in and easily make it more... Accurate ;P

 

[Zankoku]

I don't think "it'll give the moderators more work" is the best support for merging two character boards.

 

[sheikamaru]

Make me a mod for the new sheik/zelda boards and I'll do it without question or complaint

 

[Zankoku]

I think you are missing the point.

 

[DtJ Glyphmoney]

No make ME the mod

 

[sheikamaru]

Ok. I honestly don't think the confusion will be that big of a deal

 

[deepseadiva]

This was the worst suggestion, rofl

 

[Fuelbi]

No make me one I already showed before I can do it!

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I want to talk about the mobile site for a minute.

For one, the box for the quick reply at the bottom of each page disappeared and there is no link for a regular reply.

Second, the subscriptions box should be changed so that getting to the newest post is easier. Just change the link in the thread title to go the newest post by default; if you're subscribed you only care about the new posts anyways. As of now I have accidentally unsubscribed to 2 threads just trying to click that tiny POS. Which brings me to my 3rd point.

Why is it so easy to unsubscribe? There is no "are you sure?" Dialogue, you simply click the link and its over. It takes 2 or 3 pages to subscribe to a thread why is it so easy to remove on?

 

[KAOSTAR]

on that note, adding a search within this thread feature would be nice. I would put it right next to last page. default show posts obviously.

and if u open a thread a link to subscribe.

my suggestion for de subbing would be in user cp and make it a check box kinda thing.

 

[Isatis]

Unless you disabled Quick Reply in preferences (I think?), you should still have a Quick Reply box on the bottom of the page. On my phone I can see the Quick Reply here.

I'll add those two to my to-do list.

Not gonna happen. A lot of those features were stripped in the mobile skin to decrease the load times and the amount of bandwidth for the phone, since phone browsing is slower than regular browsing.

If you want searching in a thread/subscribing, just disable the mobile skin in the User CP.

 

[KAOSTAR]

is it possible to change the search link to "within this thread", and while in user cp have a different link for forum search?

 

[Isatis]

No .

 

[Fuelbi]

Is there any chance you guys can fix Leekskin where when it doesn't load properly it loads Disco Party Blue? It's pretty annoying having to refresh often for that

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I don't have a quick reply box at the bottom, I have to quote someone + delete to post. There's also no regular "reply" button like in the main skin.

 

[Zajice]

That's kinda weird... What skin?

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

smash mobile. Theres the text for "Quick Reply" but nothing else.

 

[o-Serin-o]

Can we get some Street Fighter postbits too? :>

Or is that too much work :x
