Hi guys,

First of all, thanks to all responsible for this thread and the other forums one - so thoughtfully put together and so organised and such a lot of time and effort gone into it! I'm well impressed!

Could I point you at a thread I started yesterday 278-279-602-65547609 about the ge part of the website? I realise now I could have put it here as a suggestion but wasn't sure where it belonged.

I'd also like to echo a post someone made about homepage auto play ads, having just jumped out of my skin when one started to play for the first time when I came to the RS site to log in just now. The argument will probably be made that it generates revenue and 'Jagex has to make money' but to be honest, it doesn't make the company look very professional imo and will put me off going to the homepage at all - which kinda defeats the object of a homepage advertising the game itself, no? Mute it, please!

I have another suggestion too:

Include a link on homepage to go straight to the Wiki, or a Wiki search box

I have to search it out from the homepage atm so it would make life easier.

If I think of anything else I'll post again and try to work out how to use your super pro template next time too! Sorry if I've mucked up your system with this post!

Thanks again,

Cleric

No problemo! it is nice to see all of the players ideas and improving a platform where the community socialises and attempts to improve the game is close to my heart, a lot of effort, but undeniably worth it ;)

I have taken this suggestion and really like it. I am responding to the rest of your post as we speak, but watch out for a post with your suggestions, definitely one to be added, I really like it!

It is a shame to see that this is still an issue. I have actually quoted your comments here on the existing suggestion in the hope that more and more support for it will persuade Jagex to change it! You can find it here . ....

I totally agree with this, and like your Grand Exchange idea will add it straight onto the thread. It takes a little time to write up so please bare with me! :D

YES PLEASE :)

Haha, I shall add this excitable quote to the comments section of the post :P

I look forward to seeing more suggestions! Don't worry about the template, whilst it is helpful, sometimes ideas are best off explained normally without restrictions of a template so you haven't messed anything up at all. Besides, it is my job to try and format all of the ideas nicely anyway ;) ....

Search History and Account Specific Information - Grand Exchange

Author:
Cleric Rohan
Summary:
"I would love to see a way to make a list of items that I regularly want to keep track of on the GE (I mean the prices shown on the RS website) It would make tracking the progress of items that I'm interested in so much quicker and easier than having to search for each item individually.It could be anything from a 'save' or 'compare' button, to a list associated with your account, personal to an individual - anything to cut down the time taken to look things up, every time for every item." Original thread with in-depth discussion can be found here .
