Forum feedback for admin
Hi guys glad so many of you registered.



Can I ask for feedback ?



I will try to tweak the forum as close to HWZ but it won't be exactly the same as they are different software.



Just let me know, I will do my best :)
Re: Forum feedback for admin
interface can chage to other colour? :lol:
Re: Forum feedback for admin
Ok guys, i will get roo to remove all the misc Topics right after Seiko Club Topic ok, to keep the main page more tidy :)



at the same time, maybe we need another 'General Watch Discussion' Topic folder, this folder will be meant for non-jap watches eg: Swiss, Russians etc



tentatively, any violent objections with these new Topic folders? :lol:



- General Watch Discussion

- Flipping Arena

- Trading Arena

- The Good & The Bad



Did I missed out any others?
Re: Forum feedback for admin
bros.. well for a start just have to make sure this server/site is stable and welcoming more and more members :mrgreen:



and since this is new forum,there would need to be a set of rules.



-general posting etiquette and rules

-trading(buy/sell) rules



can use various watch forums rules for references and follow whichever it seems logical and suitable for local usage.



if not when ppl(with more and more members) starts to behave badly then it be hard to control.



Probably the experienced guys can chip in.

Just my 0.03 cents :o
Re: Forum feedback for admin
maybe add;



-catalogs scans/watch photos gallery

-technical informations(manuals,DIY FAQ,probably modding tips)

-Relax Corner( talk cock area unlike 'general discussion' for watches)

I think no need the Relax Corner (or Rest&Relax Corner?) since we almost always talk cock & sing song in the General Discussion thread anyway! :lol:
Re: Forum feedback for admin
that general watch discussion mean for watches discussion... relax corner talk maybe is 'where to get a stroller'... 'cheap buffet at ...' etc.



So watch discussion is abt watches and of course sure can talk cock .. :lol:



just differenciate the watch talk cock with non watch talk cock :lol:
Re: Forum feedback for admin
Thanks for all the feedback so far. I think I won't split the forums into too many categories as yet as we are still rather new.



Will improve on the sales section later. Now queuing at Singpost to send straps lol.

ya can have the sponsers rolling ad on top of page like sgroc..when they click they will go into their web else if no web then can make static advert.
Re: Forum feedback for admin
Thanks for all the great feedback.... as much as I wanted to create a lot of different sections, like what some of the members feel, it might dilute the activity...



I created this Chit chat for general OT discussion.. I will probably spin off another non-Japanese watch for the Swiss, German, Russian, Chinese etc.



I need to understand how this software works so I can add features like the image resize thingy in HWZ.



The only thing I hate about this software is, every time you post, it goes to a page that tells you posted successfully and auto loads the forum.. kinda redundant to me but I can't find where to disable it LOL.



It will be a work in progress, while I sort out the forums and then I will try to add the new logo too.

Re: Forum feedback for admin
can have a quick reply box?



also, my signature can center leh... the code [center][/center] doesnt work here
Forum feedback for admin
Added a few things.

- Faster refresh after post, no more waiting at the "your message has been successfully posted zzz" page

- enabled quick reply



To do

- image resizer, I installed but it's not working.

- nicer theme

- improve on the logo placement



I'm also monitoring the forum status, looks like the server seems to be going up and down at different times.



Hope it's not due to my subscribing of cheapest plan lol.
Re: Forum feedback for admin
Ok, I reverted back to the default form theme and now the image resizer works.



So actually there are some codes that I need to change for any other forum theme..



Give me time ok... :)
Re: Forum feedback for admin
haha... was just abt to ask why the look changed?

no problem bro... take your time. ;)



(ps: actually default look is not too bad.)

Bro roo7, i think u may have a bandwidth issue. The forum seems sluggish with 10+ users online... u may like to keep an eye on it as when the membership size grows... i think we'll have a problem. :(
Re: Forum feedback for admin
not sure if anyone mentioned this, but the "Welcome to 'seiko club sg'" email is sent out using bro roo7 personal gmail? Might want to register a more generic email address to send out the welcome email?



Just my suggestion :oops:

Yah, I'm monitoring it, as the host do not restrict me on the bandwidth but it's hosted in US, not sure if it's due to my lowest price plan.. :shock:



1 thing for sure, there are a few incidents where the server is totally unreachable, although the status page from the provider shows ok.



My blog is hosted on the same server too, when it's sluggish, both forums and blogs are affected. I will probably write to the customer service to probe a little :|
