Dear All,

Could you pop your wishlists and issues in this thread please and we'll have a chat about it all.

All the best,

Spare Ed

I am missing the end of lines on the right hand side making many posts unreadable. It is in most browsers including Safari my default browser. The only browser I can find to display properly is Opera.

Here is a AB post in the various browsers to show you what I mean

We have not got the Adam Ant Module ready yet zzxxee! It is more of a long term goal!

No worries BM, we're just catching up! Anything we can do?

Daffy, we're a little way away from bold/itallics, not miles away mind.

We are hoping to keep the user feedback up once the site is running at 100% Redman. We've pulled the poll for now until we've fixed it.

The number of posts in latest posts is a bit of a "real esate" issue.

Panic Button, there will have to be a "dont feed the monkey" policy on AnswerBank at some point - so stop it.

We've got phase one of G.NOME running by the way, it will be interesting for you all when it is launched.

We will let everyone create their own stylesheet/template for colour changes as soon as we can mange it.

All the best,

Spare Ed

Thanks Gromit, we'll be on it shortly!

Just another very minor point, can we have the total amount of replies/questions listed in our profiles again.

also can we have a competition to select what your AB Editor avatar is for when they are working? :)

Hi Ed.

A few days ago I subscribed to a Question. It appeared on the right hand of the screen in a box titled Subscribed Threads. Now when I click on it, I get a message at the top of the screen saying Couldn't Retrieve That Thread. It seems that the Question has since been removed by your goodself. This means I am unable to Unsubscribe from the question, although the title still appears in my Subscribed Threads box.

Any idea how I can remove it? Thanks

[AB Editor]

Good catch again A.Guest.

We should hopefully make it possible to remove threads from the profile or from the pod asap.

Not a rant but an observation, can you what the BBC had to do on their 606 board a few years ago when it became popular - especially with trolls and went from a nice friendly, banter laden site (like here used to be) to a b!tchfest full of people who are brave behind a screen (like the chat section is here now).

All existing users with a history of no trouble making or offensive postings are given carte blanche to post at will, that’s about 99% of users on here.
All newly registered users have questions and answers pre-moderated before they appear on the site until such a time it has been established they’re not an attention seeking idiot.

Anyone with unmoderated posting privileges can be given a ‘yellow card’ and revert to having their posts pre-moderated if they step outside the Site Rules. Simple. At the moment you’ve got the resident boors champing at the bit for 5 o’clock when you slope off for a bevvy so they can get some attention in their sad, pathetic lives. It’s even worse on a Friday when you bunk off for the weekend.

IP banning would be good too.

what everyone else said: bold/italics, swearing filter. And aviators - I am still scouring cyberspace for one goodlooking enough to truly represent me.

PS Gromit, I am on firefox and have no problem with curtailed lines, though I have my favourites box open on the left at all times. Could it be something other than the browser?

[Gromit]

jno

No, it was happening on Mac and iPod but the Spare Ed's crack team of code monkeys have solved it.

My wishlist: (this may or may not change in the next few days)
1)A bibliography/reading list section with subheadings like we have now but where we can store really useful links that we can get at dead easy when things of a similar nature crops up.

2) An instant on screen tag added to a post that has been reported once to let the poster know they have incurred to disaproval of someone and they can then ponder over their inforced error and retract or apologise for their gross stupidity.

3) Green names bacl for new people or a visible joining date under each poster like you get on every other site!!!! And by that I mean a genuine one, not one forced on us because we may have had to re-register,(more than once)

4) The red qwriting in the recent post bix goes blurry where it gives you the time posted, could you try blue?

I would like smilies -I think they defer any friction should a post be taken the wrong way as often happens and theres only so many lols you can do to emphasise that its not serious.
Every other site I have been on and am on have them and I feel its for that particular reason :)
If any AB User doesnt want them then they have the simple solution of not using them -simples !
