View Full Version : Some Suggestions for you Shawn!!!!

Hello Shawn!!!!

As most of the suggestions go down the drain, I am sure this one would be buried as well. :p:rolleyes:

Shawn would reply:

No, Not going to happen. :)

Okay, here goes the list:

1, Forum $$$s (DP$).

2. Add some Golden Rep bars/stars or anything else/Extended Reputation Display (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=122589).
- This hack extends the existing reputation display system from just the light/dark green pips to green and golden pips, and then golden stars as the pips limit is reached.
The dark green pips are followed by light green pips, which are then followed by 'golden' pips. When the limit these can display is reached, the display is prefixed by a golden Star, and started again. If your reputation is zero then the neutral grey pip is displayed. Negative reputations are displayed in a similar manner using light and dark red pips and stars.

3. Spell Checker (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=124578).

4. Advance Private Messaging (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=123166).
- List PMs separated by sent/received given a username or id
- List all users with PMs
- Search PMs by "exact text", "all words" and "at least one of the words"

5. Proxy to Real IP Conversion (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=120082)
- The real ip (or host) is displayed in the who's online page.
- The real and proxy server ip's are accesible for each post, the button is red for members using a proxy server.
- The real ip is searchable in the admin/mod cp (but not the proxy ip).
- The real ip can be banned by admins.

6. Get Pizzas Deliverd while browsing DP (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=117930) (I know this one is going down for sure, I found it nice) :D
- This modification is the result of begin very lazy and eating a lot of pizza.
Once installed this modification will allow you to order pizza directly from your admincp. For the most part this is only supported in the USA right now, and even if you live in the USA your local stores may not support placing orders over the Internet at this time.
Currently this modification allows you to order food from:
Papa Johns Pizza
Pizza Hut
Dominos Pizza

7. Flickr Integration (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=119488)
- This little mod will show your member's 5 most recent additions to Flickr on their profile pages.

8. More Smileys allowed per post and more added to DB as well. (j/k)
- This MOD would make Nintendo happy.

1, Forum $$$s (DP$).

Shawn will say...It's called Adsense sharing!!!

2. Add some Golden Rep bars/stars or anything else/Extended Reputation Display (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=122589).

Great idea. Though I can just see him saying...Sorry, not gonna happen. :)

I don't think he likes the rep system very much!!! :D

8. More Smileys allowed per post and more added to DB as well. (j/k)
- This MOD would make Nintendo happy.

Dear Shawn, can you add http://www.vgchat.com/images/smilies/bounce3.gif??

Give us the code :wacko: for it!!! And let us post up to 10 smilies per post...or even better...set it to '0'!!!! :D

digitalpoint
Aug 30th 2006, 3:13 pm
1, Forum $$$s (DP$).As Nintendo mentioned, it's called AdSense revenue sharing. Better than fake DP dollars.

2. Add some Golden Rep bars/stars or anything else/Extended Reputation Display (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=122589).
- This hack extends the existing reputation display system from just the light/dark green pips to green and golden pips, and then golden stars as the pips limit is reached.
The dark green pips are followed by light green pips, which are then followed by 'golden' pips. When the limit these can display is reached, the display is prefixed by a golden Star, and started again. If your reputation is zero then the neutral grey pip is displayed. Negative reputations are displayed in a similar manner using light and dark red pips and stars.Truthfully, I'd probably just reset everyone to 0 or divide everyone's rep by 10 or something before I start adding new colors.

3. Spell Checker (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=124578).Spell checking should be client-side, not server-side.

4. Advance Private Messaging (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=123166).
- List PMs separated by sent/received given a username or id
- List all users with PMs
- Search PMs by "exact text", "all words" and "at least one of the words"Ability to search PMs would be nice, but not going to happen unless vBulletin releases it as a normal feature.

5. Proxy to Real IP Conversion (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=120082)
- The real ip (or host) is displayed in the who's online page.
- The real and proxy server ip's are accesible for each post, the button is red for members using a proxy server.
- The real ip is searchable in the admin/mod cp (but not the proxy ip).
- The real ip can be banned by admins.IPs are only visible to admins/mods, so it would be pointless anyway... and who's to say we don't already have something better? :)

6. Get Pizzas Deliverd while browsing DP (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=117930) (I know this one is going down for sure, I found it nice) :D
- This modification is the result of begin very lazy and eating a lot of pizza.
Once installed this modification will allow you to order pizza directly from your admincp. For the most part this is only supported in the USA right now, and even if you live in the USA your local stores may not support placing orders over the Internet at this time.
Currently this modification allows you to order food from:
Papa Johns Pizza
Pizza Hut
Dominos PizzaNot even worth commenting on... Plus I don't even like pizza that much.

7. Flickr Integration (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=119488)
- This little mod will show your member's 5 most recent additions to Flickr on their profile pages.Uh, why? Sounds like you want to add stuff just for the sake of adding stuff.

8. More Smileys allowed per post and more added to DB as well. (j/k)
- This MOD would make Nintendo happy.Same as #7.

Ability to search PMs would be nice, but not going to happen unless vBulletin releases it as a normal feature.I needed to do that yesterday, so downloaded the lot as xml and searched in editpad. Simple, quick but not something I've needed before or am likely to need again in a hurry.

But I'd like a pizza with extra cheese

Then we would be having YAPTs (Yet Another Pizza Thread) emerging all over.

People would be discussing whether the Pizza was undercooked or over cooked.

Someone would PM Shawn:

"You forgot to send the Chilly Flakes with the pizza" :p

I'm still with the suggestion to divide rep points by 2 :)

Unless Shawn is going to implement some really heavy stuff like the 12th green blob is changed to a golden bar and after 5 golden bars you get a platinum star and ..

Coolalex
Aug 30th 2006, 6:33 pm
he already said he wasnt gonna add golden bars or stars or anything.
Would it really work that much to take off everyones rep? People would prolly just keep greening each other every post.

Agree!...
The criteria for getting a green in a thread is undoubtedly an appreciated post by a recipient. But some unnoticed immense help also going behind screen. I can name it "backdoor help" or "helping a member out of thread area". What ever it may be but the credit goes to Digitalpoint forums since we all are it's proud members. I normally used to award a green for a member who helps me on messangers chat also ( To be frank they never demanded for a green). Such members kindness and knowledge may not be seen on forum posts but they really deserves for more shining greens. Hence it can't be justified if someone feels that a member bears more greens for useless posts. This forum having some Great and knowledgeable members who may not be posting frequently good posts but they are helpful round the clock (24/7). I do not want to name them.:)

I agree with your post.
I always find it funny that few people with xxx or xxxx ammount of posts but with very little green thing always complain about it and think those, who have plenty of green things are the one who give it to each other all the time...
And the most ridiculous thing, when they go on rant and accuse other senior members...They think they are eligible for plenty of 'green thing' just because they have XXXX ammount of posts...
