Ok, just made everyone's inboxes bigger!
Would it be horribly taxing on the site and search function to eliminate a 4 letter minimum? We all use abbreviations for a lot of basic parts from "ECU" and "EMS", to "OEM", "JDM", "LED", and "HID", to something as simple as a "code 54" that we are currently unable to search for. I'm actually looking for different threads on different aftermarket computers for our cars to gather information on positives and negatives of each, and its really difficult to try to filter your results down without using either ECU or EMS lol. Is this something viable that can be done? If you know how to search properly the generated results will be much closer to what you're looking for if it exists. Not very viable, as it would be a massive undertaking to change the forum search at this point. It's not the best experience, but like others mentioned, Google with the site:6gc.net prefix will probably be your best bet. Google's pretty good at that whole search thing. One thing I've noticed is that on the main forum page, looking at the listing of all forums It continues to reload, and reload, you have to reach up and hit Stop so that it will stay still. Not a big deal but the sort of thing you might look at when you get the time What browser and operating system are you on? Is that happening to anyone else? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

I do not know the technical reasons behind this, but why can't we just upload photos into our threads or posts with out going thru photo bucket? I don't post much about my 6gc on here because I always have issues uploading on photo bucket thru my mobile device because my laptop is crap.
Lol I guess what I'm saying is it would be nice to just upload photos straight from my mobile device rather then going thru a second cite first. The embedded videos can be annoying but I don't care either way. "That's all I have to say, about that." - Forest Gump.

It would cost slightly more in terms of storage/bandwidth on the server, and I'm not sure how much work it would be to implement.

Can you reset the member map page so that active members can out there current location many members that are in there are Inactive I might be able to make it only include members who have been active in the last X months. I know it's certainly possible, but it might be way too slow. What do you guys think would be a good threshold? 3 months? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Wow Coomer, you've been really getting into 6GC recently... Thanks!!!
Ok, just made everyone's inboxes bigger! One thing I've noticed is that on the main forum page, looking at the listing of all forums It continues to reload, and reload, you have to reach up and hit Stop so that it will stay still. Not a big deal but the sort of thing you might look at when you get the time What browser and operating system are you on? Is that happening to anyone else? I have this problem - Windows 8 using the Internet Explorer 'windows app' (the one that launches from the metro splash screen). This morning when I tried each time it refreshed the times of recent posts were jumping forward and back an hour on every refresh too... if that gives you any clues? Only happens on the main Forums page. I've taken to using Firefox in desktop mode now which doesn't have the issue... but it would be nice to be able to use both (and not scare off newbies with glitches). I do not know the technical reasons behind this, but why can't we just upload photos into our threads or posts with out going thru photo bucket? I don't post much about my 6gc on here because I always have issues uploading on photo bucket thru my mobile device because my laptop is crap.

It would cost slightly more in terms of storage/bandwidth on the server, and I'm not sure how much work it would be to implement. I'll look into it. That would be nice and would also stop the issues of having all of the old dead links from inactive members that we can't chase up any more to get the pictures re-uploaded. However, I can't imagine the strain it would put on your servers to handle the amount of photos that get uploaded to the site... and you would need a system of compressing the images or limiting file size uploads, and it takes more effort for us to compress an image than upload to photo bucket so not sure if it defeats the purpose Can you reset the member map page so that active members can out there current location many members that are in there are Inactive I might be able to make it only include members who have been active in the last X months. I know it's certainly possible, but it might be way too slow. What do you guys think would be a good threshold? 3 months? Personally I would say a year... because its not unusual for members to drop off for that long and being able to see them and send them a PM may get them back here when they get the email alert. It may make the map less useful for those in highly 6GC populated areas though. 3 Months would certainly be a more accurate representation of the active members though. -------------------- SOLD :( 1997 ST204 Celica ZR -----> See it here on 6GC! 2013 October Celica of the Month XD Now: '00 NB8B Mazda MX5 -----> See it here in off topic! |

At first I thought omg someone deleted my inbox. But wow you doubles the size. Ok perhaps 5 months for those who are resetting the Map. I mean internet is so easily accessible you should be able to log in at least once a week but your the admin

Thanks for the input! I haven't had the time to investigate the map yet, but when I do I'll compare various lengths of time and see what seems to work well. I might even be able to make it user-configurable with minimal effort.

and sure, break the f/s section in 2... oh and the signature too, make it bigger... Perhaps, though bigger signatures I'm against for the same reasons I am with embedded videos. But if everyone but me wants it, then I can make it happen. I just don't want the site to slow down. Also, bigger signatures are tougher on the servers, and that can potentially make everything slow. would the results be the same if you were to increase the file size limit of the signature but keep the same max dimensions? -------------------- 1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |
