Tim Dorr Veteran Posted February 21, 2002 Veteran Share Posted February 21, 2002 I'd like the top 10 active threads used more around the site. They're a great way to keep up with the current discussions and I use them extensively on the homepage. Also stats are cool. Check out this hack for a good one.

Guest deadzombie Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 Keep links to a users private msg's at the bottom of each forum page instead of only at the top level. It's a pain being inside a thread and having to go back to the board just to check... ...and is it possible for a better search on posts within the last hour? I see new posts since last visit, new posts by day...but what about in between? If I visit every 15 min then...;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/14865-taking-requests-for-features-on-neowin/#findComment-127125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxikk Veteran Posted February 23, 2002 Veteran Share Posted February 23, 2002 Anormal: that has been done and required to much bandwidth or something like that so it was removed.

Mike11212 Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 What about a free advertiseing board.

mtgriffith Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 We've been talking about a Neowin IE toolbar.

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted February 26, 2002 Veteran Share Posted February 26, 2002 How about a lite-theme? Like something with little or no graphics? It's a bitch to load this forum here at work on the old machine I'm stuck behind and it would really help out. Also, a Karma voting system would be cool. People can vote up or vote down posts and this creates a user "rating" that's determined by the people, not something dumb like postcount (which seems to be a problem :p ). Perhaps (as a security precaution) we should only allow approved members to karma vote, so that we don't just have J. R. RandomLusar running around voting down every post he sees.... I'm sure you'd need a hack for this, but it might be something interesting for me to code :D (man, i love having vBulletin now :D :D :D ) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/14865-taking-requests-for-features-on-neowin/#findComment-129625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Specs Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 How bout an area to BASH spammers and Popup Ad runners! Where people who are REALLY sick of those 2 things can get together and come up with ways to deal with it, or the companies doing it. :bandit: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/14865-taking-requests-for-features-on-neowin/#findComment-130793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 With Neowin's newly gained news/article/guide/whatever posting staff, it would be cool to see some well written (and well researched) guides posted on the site. Such as an overclocking guide with directions, examples, etc, etc, for different processors, ranging from the Athlon XP to old Pentium II's. Other interesting articles and guides could range from "turning your old 486 into a linux firewall/router" to a series of articles about creating themes. I'm sure there's dozens of other possibilities out there. Personally, I think information such as this could be a great benefit to neowin.

How ABout a Board for lessons? all type of lessons given by the users themselves .. like Photoshop lessons, Programming tips, etc ! I suggested to a friend who runs an irc server and he e-mailed NeoBond about it, so we'll see what happens... But I THINK, that NeoWin should have maybe a Guide/Tutorial/Review page. I know we have articles, but i think a Guide/Tutorial/Review section would do really well :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/14865-taking-requests-for-features-on-neowin/#findComment-134153 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac1181 Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 I was thinking a section for PDA support would be good since these devices become more and more powerful and used.

mtgriffith Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 Maybe the General forum should be moved toward the bottom of the choices so that there won't be as many threads there that shouldn't be.

drewster2100 Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 as i have previously posted, i think there needs to be a *polls* forum, and also, i think the Recent forum posts needs to have a longer list, or a seperate page for that, since i look at that alot, neowin rules:D ladr Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/14865-taking-requests-for-features-on-neowin/#findComment-139512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
