Concerning the recent quick poll:

Which of these potential forum improvements would you most welcome?
22% Ability to format text including quoting
4% More pages per forum
13% Ability to post website links
37% Creating 'signatures'
24% Custom time zones and profiles


Where is the all of the above option??? I had an incredibly hard time choosing :@

why not have the ability to post pictures?

You could implement some sort of print screen button ingame
and set it up to where you could only post ingame pictures
avoiding much of the inappropriate behavior.

I know it may not happen just because of the time, but you already have the underlying bases from which to work from. (forum photo)

Instead you'd be able to print the entire screen and make the custom profiles more presentable and unique.

Custom zones and profiles ftw!

Though any forum update would be nice and sorely needed. So long as they don't pull something unexpected like removing the rants forum, we don't want another forum fiasco like that. :P

I just really need the ability to keep track of the threads I make so I can get to them quickly and easily so I can check for new post and bump them. I have armound 14 active threads currently, and it is quite tough to manage with the current setup!

I think it's time to suggest polling the question:

"Are you a wilderness PKer?"

A) It's all I do.

B) I spend more than 75% of my time PKing.

C) I spend more than half my time PKing.

D) I enjoy it, but spend more time on other things.

E) I PK occasionally.

F) I don't enjoy PKing.

If 6 answers is too many, I'd suggest eliminating option B.
I included the word "wilderness" to try to eliminate duelling and minigames; if a better way of limiting the question only to PKing, not duelling or other PvP can be devised, go with it.

I'll mail this to the polls address as well.

You guys should put the quick poll in the lobby, that way you'd get more votes because it'd be fun to vote then. And after you've voted you'll see the results.

------------------------------------------------------------
Stopping bots:

Would you do a captcha instead of a random event?

A. Yes, I'd like to stop bots and would do a captcha.
B. No, I like random events and don't like captchas.

POLLS - CLARIFICATION NEEDED

I am told by Mod Stevew that there will be a new poll up 'soon' and that it is also likely to be concerning forum improvements. (QFC 278-279-16-62888815 page 72)

With the current poll, the options certainly needed more explaining for people to be able to make an informed decision.

Mod Baker kindly explained the current poll options more fully on this thread:

Forums poll -clarification plz
278-279-291-62903498

However, several people who saw it said that if they had seen the explanation before they voted, they would have voted differently.

Mod Baker also said that unfortunately there is no room for detailed explanations of the poll options on the main page, with the poll.

Can I ask that instead of relying on people finding and reading an explanation on just one player's thread, that a link to a stickied full explanation of the voting options, is put on the main page, with the poll. After all, it makes nonsense of the poll, if people are voting when they do not fully understand the nature of what they are voting for, or of what they are not voting for rather.

Mod Stevew:

"A new forum enhancement quick poll will be up tomorrow guys!

Steve"

QFC 278-279-16-62888815 (page 75)


Exciting, huh? :D

I do hope they put up a sticky somewhere with a link from the poll though, to explain what exactly they mean by the options, since there isn't room on the poll itself to do that.

Ok, so the new poll's out.

Again, some good options there, which is great! I am, however, confused about the option 'ability to search post contents'. Does this mean in addition to searching for key words in threads' titles, we would also have the ability to search for key words that may occur in all the first posts of all the threads in the forum category you are searching in? That would seem a very strange sort of search, so I'm sure I must be wrong in my interpretation.

Can someone in the know, enlighten me please?
