Hey guys,

Newschoolers will once again be updated over the summer. We will be fixing the video and picture sections, cults, reviews and articles.

Among the changes are:

  • Next & Back buttons for pictures

  • Videos will load in the NS window (you can still download them)

  • Cults will have better member management features. We also want to host some cult related games over the winter.

  • Reviews and articles will have better rating systems so the best member content will get better exposure.



I also wish to do some changes to the forums. Among those are:

    Fix quoting by letting you select a section to quote.
  • Fix My Threads to load threads that have been moved.



Does anybody have any comments they would like to make about changes to any of these sections?

yeah it seems weird. obviously everyone can't dispense karma or it wouldn't work. but if the mods/admins are the only people who can do it, then that's not cool either. i'm guessing that only people with really good karma can give others better karma, and if karma had been there since the beginning of the site it would work fine, but incorporating it into a place as established as NS?

i didnt notice this anywhere else on this thread, but i think that a next topic link would be good for the forums. like while you are in the "hey whats up" thread and you want to go to the "thoughts of a dying atheist" thread (which is next in line) you just click next topic instead of going back to nonski gabber then to the thread.

^nsg is too busy to do that. by the time you read through the thread you were in, the "next" one wouldn't be next anymore because someone would post in it or a different one

Make links work again. Like so ^ his signature could just be a link that said "Wisdom Teeth & Constipation" instead of the NS link. That's been killing me for awhile now.

Also, mabye revamp the image code...... Like have it stretch to fit the 600px frame?

Idk, just thinking out looud dhere.

How about a stats page that tracks stuff on NS. Like average member logins per day, how many people were on yesterday, how many new posts yesterday, pics and such not.

And maybe more hype, like tell people when you'll have new teasers and stuff dont just post it

What I don't think you should do is go to that indented reply style.. unless there's a way to flatten it out. This style is more BBS and easy to read.

Have the top rated section for videos. Also have it so you can choose if you would like the longest viedos in the front. Or if you wanted either short or most recent in the front. Because waiting 30 seconds for a video to load that only plays for 5 seconds is really annoying, and its a waste of time.

i dunno if this is possible, but some people have mentioned bringing back the old link system (a href etc). is there any way to do BOTH linking systems? that way people can post URL's if they want or link the text the old way. i don't know jack about programming though so maybe it's not possible

check out the forum setup on this site:
http://forums.skateperception.com/index.php?showtopic=23552

the karma system is money and I think it works well to have it along with the post count because then you can know if someone is a true post whore

that sounds great man thanks for all the hard work you put into this site, the only thing that i dont see a point in is the quote thing like no one reely cares about what section your quoting i dont think but i could br wrong , personally i dont see a problem with just reeding through the persons message that an individual had quoted but other than that sic stuff man i'm looking forward to it .

with the new image set up(where you click on the thumbnail and the fullsize pic pops up, you know) there should be scroll bars allowed in the pop up windows.. reason being is because the pictures are ALWAYS cut off one way or another

1. MEMBER OF THE MONTH, we need that back if u guys have time

2. polls in the forums, sounds good

3. Special forum for people over 5000 posts (people might spam to get in though)

4. Fix the search optioins

5. A test would be good and they should show how well you did on the test to see if ur a real newb or not.

K.. lots of people are asking for a karma system... this is a tricky one that will take some time to work out.

I was thinking of this before. What I wanted to do was eliminate the blue/green/red/pink names and make a system where your name changes colour depending on yoru karma.

As example:
If you just join you will be a navy blue / blakc. Adding a profile makes you a little brighter. Then for every 100 posts you get a little more red added to your username. If you post pics & vids you get more green added to your name. This will basically continue and use ratios of your contributions to choose your color which would be calculated daily. So every day you will be a different colour depending on your contributions previous day. And the more you've contributed, the brighter your name would be.

that's a pretty darn cool idea Paul. So like, people who post a ton are red, while people who get good karma go more green. but when they mix, it's brownish...

I like the idea for sure, maybe pick a somewhat more 'mixable' color scheme?

what if you kept the names the same color but used like a little karma box or something for the colors? a username is just so small that little differences in color will be hard to pick up, but if you had just a little karma square or something next to the name it would be a lot easier to tell the color

it cant be daily, im sure that would take up huge space, and not everyone is here everyday, but , that doesnt mean they are noobs or assholes, so that doesnt work with the karma system, something more reasonable is monthly

one thing that really bugged me was the pictures having the options of go back to picture/go back to category while the video section only has go back to videos, there should be three options in pictures and videos, back to pictures/videos main, back to previous video or back to the category that the video came from
