Site Suggestions

[Ruellit]

How about a flashing hot link (when you have a post removed) on your Favorites page that will take the poster to his removed post arbitration screen?

That sounds like it would generate a lot more posts for Ihub.

I liked the little glimpse of the clock I saw this afternoon btw.

[Rich]

Can we darken the background of the site to maybe a light grey rather than white? It's kinda bright. And I noticed a sudden change today but its gone now and during this change the 'mail' counter was in dark purple against a dark blue background and you could barely see it. Keep that in mind.

[Ruellit]

I've noticed that when a poster replies to a sticky post, the reply winds up above the stickys. Where as almost all other posts are below the stickys. This has me going back to the board because the counter indicates an unread post, which is located in a place that my eyes are not trained to look, unless I force them. Has anyone else noticed this?

[Rich]

How about putting a real time Market clock somewhere? To watch the market time.

[Tiburon99]

Thanks for the Sticky Note Icon. Lovely...

Bob, when will iHub have blogs for individual users?

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

I've added your post to my kept messages for possible future implementation.

4God:

That's a good suggestion.

How about this one. When I am looking at my 'favorites' page I sometimes want to reset the count on some boards but not on others.

Currently I have to reset them one at a time. That can be time consuming. Could you assign little boxes (like we have in our mailbox page)?

That way we could check #1-3-5-7 and hit reset, and then review the posts in # 2-4-6-8 etc.

[4Godnwv]

It does only happen on occasion, I'll watch the next time. I often do that when posting a string of news items, or perhaps a string of T/A sites, etc.

Thnx

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

The only time you might see that is if you're replying to yourself.

[4Godnwv]

Not sure of this is a suggestion, or just that I have something configured wrong or am doing something wrong.

When I post a message, My mailbox counts goes up by 1 - it drives me crazy, cause I often see it and click to see 'who posted to me' - only to find out it was ME! Even happens when I 'edit' a post.

LOL, unnerving and disappointing at the same time.

Can this be fixed? Thanks

LOL...all jokes aside...I really am interested in the top newest suggestions that would really advance the IHUB experience...I was also thinking that alot of suggestions are made on the Q & A board...but there is so many messages...its a daunting task...

[sidedraft]

Before your post here there were 212 posts. You ask for the top 200, why not take the risk and grab all 212 posts.

[~6979~]

Anybody have a list of the top 200 best suggestions of all time?

If anyone can take the time to create a list like that, I'll make them a deal to carry their signature as my signature for a week.(siggy slave)...LOL...thanks in advance...

A premium mouse-over for IH

#msg-31673231



Mouseover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouseover
A Mouseover or hover box refers to a GUI event that is raised when the user
moves or "hovers" the cursor over a particular area of the GUI.

Possible Premium-Plus addition for SI.

[Ruellit]

Just in case you missed this excellent idea!

You guys ought to have a button or tab for turn ads on or off for the paid subscribers and grandfathered in guys rather than having to log out to see who is advertising and what ads there are...once in a while there might be an ad we are interested in...

But we never see them...

Most people might set it to off, but some might turn it on once in a while...you never know...

[Hitman]

Suggestion to IHUB.
How 'bout we offer our members with limited english, a function to add a small icon to their alias(similar to the Paid/Free icon).
I believe this would allow our fluent english speaking members a little more patience with the 2nd language posters ie: grammar,sentence structure, spelling etc.
I also feel it would help the Mods with the number of deletions for "Off Topic".

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

That makes sense.

Never thought about that.

No way to reverse the colors on the bottom toolbars and have them dark into light like the top one?

Phil

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

Because the toolbars themselves are reversed. The IHub specific toolbar is always closest to the center.

[Phil(Hot Rod Chevy)]

John, the colors on the top and bottom toolbars are reversed.

On the top toolbar, the colors fade from darker into lighter.

On the bottom one, they fade from lighter into darker.

If you are using the default, white background, the main navigation toolbar on the bottom is hard to find.

Any reason why the colors are reversed?

Phil

[Ruellit]

Click on profile, right above Total Posts theres an entry for Boards Moderated, click on the number and it will show you all the boards that alias moderates.

[sidedraft]

Ok, but my interest is in Boards Moderated strickly.

[Ruellit]

What you are asking for is already available. Go to the members profile, scroll down to the members total number of posts and click on the number. What pops up is that members posts on each board. Click on that number again and you'll get just that members posts on just that board. Very cool little known feature.

[BUBBA]

You can go to total posts and look up the board and it has that information.

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/MemberPostsByBoards.aspx?userid=70762

[sidedraft]

When you go to a members profile and click on Boards Moderated, why not display that member's last post time/date and the number of posts that member has made, instead of displaying the last post by anyone on one of his boards? The total posts to a board moderated by this member is relevant, as well as when he last posted.

[sidedraft]

Once the Keywords are available, have a list that could be browsed.

Find what you want and click on that Keyword to see which boards match the Keyword you chose.

[sidedraft]

How about some way to alert poster#1 that poster#2 wants to engage poster#1 in off topic conversation on the The NEW Parking Lot?

On that board specifically, allow some means of having a mailbox notifier alert poster#1 that poster#2 is in The NEW Parking Lot, and waiting for him/her to start arguing.

[sidedraft]

Many boards get posts that do not belong.

But I am wondering if "part" of the problem is the difficulty in finding the right board for a posters question.

So here is what I propose:

Have the Mods of every board fill in a KEYWORD section attached somehow to every board.

Limit the number of keywords to ten, for instance.

Implement a SEARCH by KEYWORD feature.

So that when I want to know how to do something in the iBox, I search on HELP IBOX, and all the boards that proclaim to offer help on iBox matters show up.

Or if I want to find the latest pictures by Paulie Cashews, I put in the word "LUBE" into the Keyword search.

Might make life easier, all around.

[Ruellit]

In a world where lazy people worry about how many clicks it takes to do something, I've discovered another way to eliminate 2 more clicks.

When viewing the quote page, how hard would it be to put in a hot link that would add the board of the company thats being viewed to the individuals Favorite Page with just 1 click?

[Bob Zumbrunnen]

Shouldn't be timeouts in public search anymore except they might be possible when selecting 2007 since the current version of SQL Server has a bug which requires me creating indexes the hard way and I haven't done it for 2007 yet.

The timespan actually has no impact on how long the search takes. Most of the time it takes (it's along the lines of 90%) is strictly a function of how large the underlying search table is.

It's a real brain-dead part of SQL Server that I hope eventually gets fixed. If you want to find all the messages written in March that have the word "moon", it first finds ALL messages containing the word "moon", then narrows it down to March.

It's much better in SQL Server 2005 (our current version) than it was in SQL Server 2000, but it's still brain-dead. And really hurts on systems this large.

[Susie924]

Is it possible to have the search for public messages work the same way as for private messages?

With PM's you can put in a date range but with public messages you can only pick an entire year.

I get more timeouts with public messages because of the longer time span that it has to look at.

[RG]

Dumb dumb, yes I knew about that, thanks for bringing it back into my brain. lol

[lentinman]

Lucy:

There are 124,000 members. Do you know how long you would have to scroll down to find someone? That's a rhetorical question. It would be somewhere in the neighborhood of ... forever.

I'm sure you know, but just in case you (or anyone reading doesn't), you can type in what you know of a person's handle - say "lucy" or "thesky" - into the search box, click the drop down and click Members. That will narrow the search nearly astronomically. From there, click on the person you are looking for.

Len

[RG]

Is there a drop down window that has the names of every poster, if not it would be nice?

[Ruellit]

I've tried to get that feature for years, but somehow it's considered spam and Matthew hates spam!!! Guess he's never had it for breakfast! lol

[RG]

Currently if I have a PM with the same message for lets say 3 people, I have to send 3 messages with a copy and paste.
Can it be set up that you can just send 1 message and pluck the names from your Favorites, or an member list?

[Susie924]

With all the changes lately, the site seems very sluggish a good portion of the time.

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

Sorry, I was working on something and didn't notice.

[Susie924]

I will test it.

In five minutes I will edit this post and you can let me know if it goes back in your mailbox

edit: Did it work?

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

It should be working now. Somewhat hard to test though.

[Susie924]

Great idea!

[Susie924]

That would be a wonderful addition.

It would prevent people from posting one thing (usually to get a laugh at someone else's expense) and then editing it so that the mods don't see the original post.

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

Yeah, it's possible.

Maybe even probable.

[Tavycal]

Meat is it possible to make it so when I edit a post after the person I was repling to reads it that it would, after I edit go back to that posters mailbox?

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

More likely it's Bob.
