My ideas for a new CF/FU

[nyj]

I think that we should be able to tailor our CF/FU experience. Since we come here of our own volition, and some of us spend our hard earned cash ... we're entitled to enjoy the site.

Therefore, I suggest that we should be able to do any/all of the following:
1. Ignore specific avatars
2. Ignore specific signatures
3. Ignore specific threads
4. Ignore specific posts
5. Turn off the "Current Users Viewing This Thread" option.

Maybe there are other features/options I'm missing, but ... I think we should be able to tune out the nonsense that irritates us. Some people like to create buzz, because they're addicted to the drama (and/or need the attention) and closing off their avenues for acquiring that attention ... should be allowable.

Am I off-base, or do you think these things have merit, and if so ... what additional ideas have merit as well?

The following are further proposed edits to the vBulletin code:
6. Allowing a user to mask/hide the posts of a member on their ignore list (so that not even a placeholder e.g., "You are ignoring this member click here to read this post" for the ignored post is visible).

That would be nice, Tom. Some siggies do rub against the grain and without the irritant I might have an easier time ignoring what the wearer of the irritant posts.

It might be hard to code turning on off individual avatars, but if you are running FireFox, you can click on any image & block that image.

Really? Sounds like reason enough to switch!

Except for #5, the others are already common vBulletin hacks.

I see an option for blocking all images from foru's image server, but not for a specific image.

So we wouldn't be able to see who was lurking?

You wouldn't if you didn't want to.

All of this would be options available to us, to allow us to tailor our own CF/FU experiences.

Sorry, try installing the plugin Add Blocker

 

[GreenMunchkin]

Those options could do an awful lot to foster peace. Cos seeing a long list of people who dislike conservative Christians up at the top really is irritating. Like we're in a fish-bowl.

They're great ideas. Just wondering whether they're possible.

If Lee has someone who has access to the vast vB community, #1 through #4 is easily implementable. #5 might be a new hack (or it may already exist).

If you guys want to not see who's watching you I have no problem with it...
I personally like to know what's going on around me - who's who, where's where etc. etc.

Everybody likes or needs different things Nyj. I can understand how you'de want that. It's all good by me.

 

[constance]

These are some good ideas! NYJ, would you mind sending me any new ones that come from this thread?

I will.

I'd also like to add another addition I think this forum needs at this point. We need a "SIGN OUT" sticky up top there.

The sign in page should be for people signing in only - as they come in, they shouldn't see people signing out with comments & what not.
Can we get a Sign Out page where people can formally sign out?

Thanks anybody.

Have you run this by who ever is in charge of this joint, now? Maybe he'll have the sense to implement this, unlike Erwin.

Why, are conservative Christians completely incapable of dealing with all the realities of online posting? It is actually up to us to use our own intelligence to cope with things we do not like.

1. Ignore specific avatars
2. Ignore specific signatures
3. Ignore specific threads
4. Ignore specific posts
5. Turn off the "Current Users Viewing This Thread" option.

Frankly, this is like asking for CF to do everything for us, because we are just like children who have not developed the maturity to competently cope with anything ourselves.

I have used the non-display options for avatars, signatures, and certain members' posts *(Ignore). If I like a certain member enough, I can always pull up their profile and check out their avatars and signatures. Along with their Guestbook, in case I get the idea I would also like to post in it.

5. Turn off the "Current Users Viewing This Thread" option

Please forgive me, but members already have this option: all you do is not look there.

 

[Latreia]

I'll sign off on those suggestions.

Where did you get a special pass to post in members only threads here?

Also, is there some specifie reason you are doing this?

Did any member ask for your input?





"This is MY town, Darcy."

 

[CaDan]

Where did you get a special pass to post in members only threads here?

Da Rules. Or from the study hall teacher. He said it was a hall pass, but it actually said "All Access" and who was I to argue?

Also, is there some specifie reason you are doing this?

I was concurring with nyj.

Did any member ask for your input?

Yup.
