Feedback feature is da bomb
I wish I was purple, because I'm feeling blue. I'm not looking for love, but a good fuck'll do.

Re: Actual Website Improvements
There are a couple things that I have seen at other sites that might be of interest here.
1. Trade/Sale section is hidden until a user reaches a certain number of posts in the other areas of the board. User gets a warning if posts to reach number are "spam".
2. Have a sticky in the trade/sale section with links to PayPal calculator and other resources. Also in this sticky, a trade/sale template. Brian at TapersSection created one for that community and looks really nice. I have used it a few times and takes most everything that comes up in a trade/sale into account.

... i can't actually see the trade/sale section so I can't see what that template looks like...

f. The Equipment other than the Microphones is in working condition, though such Equipment may contain cosmetic wear and tear. [revise as appropriate]
5. Review Period. Seller will provide five (5) business days from the date of receipt of the Equipment for the Buyer to verify contents and condition (the “Review Period”). If the contents and condition of the Equipment are not as represented in Section 4 above, Buyer shall immediately deliver the Equipment to Seller at Buyer’s sole expense, in the same condition in which it was sent. Within one business day of receipt of the returned Equipment, and verifying the contents and condition of the returned Equipment, Seller shall refund the Purchase Price in full, but not shipping and insurance costs. Buyer shall make no use of the Microphones during the Review Period other than to verify contents and condition.
6. Survival. The representations and warranties shall survive for a period of [one] year from the date hereof.
7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one instrument. This Agreement may be executed electronically and shall be considered validly executed so long as delivered with indication of offer and acceptance among the electronic mail addresses set forth in the notice provision of Section 8.

Re: Actual Website Improvements
Is there any way that the mini-chat on the main forum page can be made to not auto-update every 5 seconds
(or at least be configurable) ??
It's sending my real-time AV scanner absolutely bonkers.

Not sure what everyone else thinks - but I wish the login boxes were still at the top of the board index screen, as now I have to scroll down to log in. Just a little thing, not too big of a deal I guess.

Re: Actual Website Improvements
Yeah, guests can now view the board so that's why the first page has changed, you used to have to log in before you could see the forums. I can move that to the top though, not today though as I don't have access to the internet except for on my phone.

Re: Actual Website Improvements
Two things:
Can we have a Rant and Rave section where folks can post their 'haven't got x' / 'have got x' posts
and mods delete those kind of posts elsewhere
If you want folks to use database maybe the whats up on eBay thread should go?

Re: Actual Website Improvements
I know it is a pain in the arse, but this is a forum for discussion; and in reality it's a topic that is common and probably a concern to a lot. If you stayed clear of the vault threads and the what's up on ebay thread, you'd have much less dramas...Kaber wrote:Two things:

Seeing the same post over and over again is dull - it is not discussion - folks may be posting about the quality of the releases - but such gems for discussion are being lost and you can't see the wood for the trees.love_islander wrote:I know it is a pain in the arse, but this is a forum for discussion; and in reality it's a topic that is common and probably a concern to a lot.

Re: Actual Website Improvements
Jumble Jumble is essentially Rant and Rave, just a different name for a forum about nothing...
As for those posts, I agree that they're annoying, more so months later when everyone has received everything and you're looking through an old thread..
I'll see what I can do about it..
