AtlasMod 2.0: Suggest ideas

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

What about a feature where you can view all threads started by a given poster?

I'd like this too. Mostly to view my own threads started.

Additionally, I'd like to know if someone has posted something after I did, like on Wikipedia.

Virginia, could you extend the fields for poll options? 25 px is way too small.

You mean the actual length of the edit boxes for poll options? Or the amount of text allowed?

The former. I so often had to extend them by editing the source code.

What about this?

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?action=unreadreplies

It lists all the threads you have posted in that have new posts since you last posted.

Is that new?


There two further suggestions regarding polls:

1.) I wish the percentages of multiple-choice polls would be calculated correctly.
2.) I wish there were a preview for polls.

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

I wish there were a preview option and a bar including all those stylizing buttons for signatures.
In addition, I wish that would be installed for polls, too.

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

Thank you for your response to my PM, btw!
The most important issue is indeed the calculating of the percentages of MC polls, since they are simply wrong.

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

Hello, Virginia, could you please put the View all unread posts to threads you participated in link on top of the alerts page, cause it takes me so long to scroll down to that link?  :*

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

I thought I responded to your PM about that (or maybe a post somewhere). I said I would add it next time around, which won't be for, at the very least, 2-4 months.

Not quite. You replied that when I asked you to widen the space of the poll fields.
But nevertheless, thank you for your response!

It would also be a useful implement if we could sort poll result by the number of votes.

I will keep this in mind. I have an idea how to go about it, but I'm not entirely sure how easy it would be to implement.

I have a lot of plans for the poll option in general, including everything from new options, partisan polls (optional obviously), a new design/look, and maybe even multiple polls per thread and "mini polls" that could be embedded in posts, like Twitter's thingy. Although that may be too difficult and/or resource intensive to work.

These are all fantastic ideas.
But the main thing is that the calculation for multiple-choice polls gets fixed.

What exactly is wrong with it? I looked at the most recent Opinion of user poll and it showed the percentages correctly.

For example here; the percentages represent the number of votes, but they ought to represent the number of voters instead. Berkshire County, for instance, got a vote from 100% of the users, not from 7.3%.

Is it actually possible to install an auto-correction, in particular for the word deductible.
It seems to be the hardest word for the forum community to spell.
I mean it is obviously possible to transform coarse words.

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

Please, Virginia, I beg of you, install a preview option for polls at the next update. It's so bugging and annoying to delete a whole poll-added topic and start afresh, especially if it's a poll with umpteen options. 😰
And it has happened to me several times. 😡

What about a face palm emoticon like these: 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♀️?
Is there a SMF repertoire you can choose from, or can you even draw your own, individual emoticons?

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

Why don't we have any Icelandic avatars? 

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

Could you possibly make it so that you can add code to your signature without it going against your character limit? It doesn't appear in the final version so I don't see why it would need to be limited.

Seconded.

Virginia, is there still some room left in the top bar?

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

What top bar? The menu bar with the buttons (like profile/alerts/etc)? If so, I don't think so w/o widening it. However there are one or two buttons which no longer serve any useful purpose, such as the 'map' button (feature is broken and not used anyway).

Yes, I mean the menu bar. I wish there was a button that leads us directly to the posts of ours.

Apropos of maps, could you set the map on the user profiles underneath the Additional Information section, please? It's quite annoying to scroll down one's profile for the purpose of sending them a message or seeing their posts and then suddenly to get stopped by the map cause the Google Maps frame thinks you want to zoom out.

Is it possible for you to add new symbols to the drop-down menu?

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

Which menu? You don't mean the buttons right below the forum logo do you?

I mean the message icon below the subject title.

Oh, I'm not sure. I did try to add a new mobile icon last time but Dave didn't use it for whatever reason. I'm not going to bother this time.

Okay. Pity. THX.

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

The text field for the signature urgently needs a menu board and a preview option!

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

Buuut ... you won't disable the option to delete new threads, will you?
I had to do that quite often after discovering that I had made a mistake in a newly-created poll, which I can't revise.

Just in case Dave wants another icon added, a poll icon and a prediction icon would be useful. 🤗
