In the Custom Mansion List, can you rename the Volcanis Low, Volcanis? Volcanis Low is just a lower version. I think the best version should be titled. ;)
Like the new site! But not as good as the old one... :-/

One other thing: About the "position" thing. Could you make it the same as last time? (Lost one, Wanderer, Explorer, Adveturer, Treasure Hunter, ect.)
Thanks! :)

I think it's rather cluttered to have a separate forum for EVERY mansions included, and separate, from the game.

I think it would be much better to go back to the way the forums used to be on the old site, where you have ONE forum for, say, custom mansions, another forum for included mansions, and users can create individual threads for any specific mansions they want to discuss.

Makes the forums much easier to navagate.

Oh, this is me, Vern... couldn't see the forums when I logged in under my other account, so I logged in again using the admin account.

I agree, just one forum for all included mansions and one for all custom mansions. Nobody wants to scroll down a long list of topics every time.

Instead of having to scroll a lot there could be a button for Active subjects. Clicking on the button would give you the threads that have new postings since you last visited the forum. This idea is working in Paintdoodles forum.

It would be much easier if the site was back to the way it was before! :)

EDIT: Would it be possible to make these forums have different Themes? In the last site there were two: One like this, and one with MM graphics. (Spiders, snakes, jack, mommy-spiders, ect.) Also, change the "new post" icon thing back to the chest open and closed. If it's possible, maybe you can do it! :)

About the position thingy... I have more then 10 posts and my position is still "lost one" and not wanderer!  :-/ Or is it 15 until I'm wanderer?

That "position thingy" is called "member groups". And under Announcements / Forum Messages I gave all information in a topic about that. ::) ;)

Hi Freddy,

just a little idea:
Wouldn't it be nice, on the 'master custom mansion list', when one could see who made the mansion ?

Like:
'Midnight Mazes & Monsters'  (by: Freddy)

or something like that ?

Title: Re: Ideas ?
Post by Wingy on 30.12.2006 at 23:22:52
I agree with aquaMat. People who download mansions should know who made it!

@ aquaMat & Wingy: Thx for your posts. I have been thinking about it yet. Problem is where I start and where I stop. As important as the designer's name are the size (in rooms) and the difficulty-degree. And then it becomes a very very large post. Because of Wingy is making so many mansions ... ;)

Well uh... isn't that a good thing?? :P

Hi Freddy

I agree with aquaMat and Wingy, because whenever a piece of art is created, and I think every custom mansion is a piece of art, there is the title and the creators name. No matter what you choose: music, pictures, stories… size, difficulty, contents and so on are, let's say: secondary information.
If you visit websites of photographers or writers on the net you won't find the size of the photograph or the number of pages of a story close to the title and the creators name.
May be that will help in your decision how to handle this subject.

I thought it would be a good idea to make a page which shows you the ranks and how many posts you need to make until you go up a rank, just a small idea.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Plz make a master of custom Mansion list to can see the best Mansions or so...  8-)

You'll have to talk to YaBB people about that... the admins here only add boards and delete spammy posts!

There is a thread somewhere that tells you what the ranks are....
I'll try to tell you what they are...
0-1 posts is lost one,
2-10 is Lost one,
11-50 is Wanderer,
51-100 is Explorer,
101-250 is Adventurer,
250-500 is Treasure Hunter,
501+ is Expedition Leader

I was expedition leader until some of the threads where deleted and I losts like 300 posts, putting me back here... I have 600 or so.

Yes, but now no more  ;D 8-) ;)
