View Full Version : Next large mod LorenK 01-10-2008, 3:31 PM What next large mod do people want from the polling list? Scubagirl12 01-10-2008, 4:31 PM although I voted for photo album, a wiki would be nice if we could build it up big. it would be an ongoing process though. i know i can search the internet for care of different animals and specs of equipment but hearing personal experience and opinion from people you know close by mean a lot more. tnyga 01-10-2008, 4:33 PM You go Scubagirl!! :) Stroid 01-10-2008, 4:59 PM sorry Russ I gotta go with Chat on this one...I like immediatte gratification Linda Lee 01-10-2008, 5:07 PM Photo Album. Wiki would be my second choice. So many chat programs available already. We could always do a group chat on MSN Messenger, AIM or Yahoo if need be. If we were a world-wide organization with members spanning the globe, I could see the need for a chatroom, but most of us are local enough that phone calls are not toll and get-togethers are possible. LorenK 01-10-2008, 5:24 PM Too many jokes, not enough time! sorry Russ I gotta go with Chat on this one...I like immediatte gratification LorenK 01-10-2008, 5:25 PM Chat is more for us night owls that have run out of posts to comment on :-) Photo Album.

Big D 01-10-2008, 6:00 PM I say Photo Album... :up: we all love pics! Big D Linda Lee 01-10-2008, 6:14 PM sorry Russ I gotta go with Chat on this one...I like immediatte gratification You don't find pictures gratifying? oic... you subscribe for the *articles* *wink wink* Xyzpdq0121 01-10-2008, 8:34 PM You don't find pictures gratifying? oic... you subscribe for the *articles* *wink wink* LMAO.... Ya I vote Pics... (mainly to give Russ something to do!!!) It should be an easy fix right Loren?!? Get the quick stuff out of the way and then move on to the harder stuff. So in this order: Pics Wiki (We need a home for TOTM) Chat (I waste too much time here anyways!) The president has spoke... We now return you to you regular scheduled posting... tnyga 01-10-2008, 10:38 PM lol cmjazz 01-10-2008, 11:52 PM chat would be great and help down on post/pms Linda Lee 01-11-2008, 9:38 PM Questions for webmasters: Is a photo album feature that difficult to do? It seems like if we had someone who volunteered to maintain the albums (and we have), it would be no extra burden on LorenK or mojo. Just a thought. I think tastefully arranged and organized photogalleries of well-taken photos would be an such a neat attraction for this website. I hope this can happen. Skriz 01-12-2008, 12:29 AM chat, so we can make fun of our loser president! mysterybox 01-12-2008, 3:40 AM pics 1st wiki 2nd if you want to chat, try picking up a phone? maybe text message? messenger? Linda Lee 01-12-2008, 9:13 AM Another plug for the photo album feature. We could divide the albums into two sections 1] Social Events Albums ---Fun Outings ---Meetings ---Events (i.e., Macna) 2] Educational Albums ----Coral ID ----Fish ID ----Algae ID ----Worms/Parasite ID ----Fish/Coral Disease ID ----Sump/Refugium/Overflow Designs i.e., whenever someone had a particular *algae* needing identification and posts a picture of that algae, once it's positively identified, it could be added to that album with a caption denoting what it is and possibly a link back to the original thread. I think the albums could be more than fun. They could be a valuable asset to the club. The albums could even be a draw for the club if people outside the ARC started using them as a reference tool. Just more thoughts. LiveRock27 01-12-2008, 11:04 AM I had voted for Wiki, but after Linda Lee's last post I want to change my vote to pics. Great idea! tnyga 01-12-2008, 11:07 AM Good idea Linda...Special Thread for ID's one for DIY, one for outings etc Cameron 01-14-2008, 3:55 AM Maybe we should just do all three at once... how hard can it be really? mojo 01-21-2008, 4:40 PM The problem isn't getting it going - it's the support. You'd be suprised at how much ongoing support there is with the basics- people not being able to upload pictures, people can't login, etc. It's hard to get motivated to add new things when people get stuck with the basics... I'm glad Loren is here to help now- maybe we can move forward and I can get over my burn-out phase... :) tnyga 01-21-2008, 4:45 PM mojo, Im not too stupid at this...Im no programmer but no idiot either if that helps... Linda Lee 01-21-2008, 4:45 PM I'm glad Loren is here to help now- maybe we can move forward and I can get over my burn-out phase... :) Chris, you've done so much to make this such an awesome site -- didn't someone say at the B.O.D. meeting that the ARC has the best reef club site on the 'Net and that people from outside the area had made that comment?. Kudos to you. Sorry about the burnout, but I for one appreciate all you've done and believe the toil was worth it. I hope you can just sit back and enjoy your creation a bit. :) mojo 01-21-2008, 4:49 PM mojo, Im not too stupid at this...Im no programmer but no idiot either if that helps... Umm.... what? I'm not sure what this is even about or referring to... Thanks, Linda- I have been trying to just back off for a while (which is why nothing new has been added in ~6 months...)! :) mojo 01-21-2008, 5:16 PM Umm.... what? I'm not sure what this is even about or referring to... (PM sent to Russ- no problems, just me mis-reading the post!) tnyga 01-21-2008, 5:28 PM (PM sent to Russ- no problems, just me mis-reading the post!) Its the typing thing again... lol You da man Chris! |
