Suggestions to make the site better!

admin · Suggestions to make the site better!

Hey heres where you can post your suggestions on how to improve this site.

One area I think I might be able to improve is the website url.

Right now its: supersmashbrobrawl.weebly.com

However, I'm finding thats really long and tedious to type in. Should we have a different url for the website that'll be really fast to type in?

linkmh

Does it have to have the .weebly.com ending? And also if possible, try to create like a banner or some kind of link that goes back to the main page, not the forums, but the home page.
I think , if the name doesn't have to contain weebly in it, it should be Smash Bros. Stage sharer...or Smash Bros. Stage creator. if it has to have weebly in it, then have Super Smash stage brawl...or something to that extent. or SSSB. now thats really easy to type!

admin

Yeah it has to have weebly.com at the end, unless I want to buy my own domain name - which would be like 50 dollars. I don't want to do that until this site becomes somewhat popular.

ssbbshare or something like that would work.

linkmh

that would work...

heety9

We need less restrictions. The avatar thing SUCKS.

admin

What do you want different about the avatar thing? I can change it.

linkmh

I think increase the size of the avatar from 8kb to...i don't know, 32 if possible. And increase the pixel size also.maybe.

admin

I increased the pixel size from 120 by 120 to 340 by 340. And the its now 32,000 bytes or 32kb.

heety9

Actually, it's kinda big.

heety9

Oh yeah, and can we have a Melee section?

heety9

And oh yeah, on the site, can we have a link to the forums on the top, not just on the home page?

BTW this is now my home page on my computer.

admin

I've been searching everywhere to customize a link on the page but I can't find it. So for the time being I'll create a link in a new post.

linkmh

that'll work for now, I'll see what I can find on that issue.

heety9

Yay! First thread with more than one page! Laughing

That smiley is creepy. Is there a way to non-animate it? O.o

heety9

Spelling error:

When something is more than one page, it says something like :"Goto page 1,2". "Go to" is one word.

linkmh

heety9

WHOA! Everything looks suddenly cooler!

But what's up with the "Template Hardware" in the corner?!

admin

what what are you getting at?

linkmh

Admin is probably working on the site layout right now, so everything looks pretty!

heety9

Never mind, it suddenly dissappeared...

linkmh

Would a shout box be good to have? Or no? We should have a page that links to some flash games. So we don't get bored Razz

Hey admin, if theres any website development I can help you with, ask me. I worked with dreamweaver for a fair amount, so I may be able to contribute

heety9

Wait, what's a shout box?

linkmh

just a box that you could kinda do shout outs to. think of it like a IM except everyone on the forums can use it.

heety9

Oh, a chat. Yeah, that would be cool.

admin

yeah thats a good idea. I'll see if I can make a shout box.

Also, what do you think of the new forum design? I was able to add our website logo to this forum as well.

I'm still searching for a way to add a link to back to the homepage, I know it can be done. Its just a matter of time before I find it. I left a message on the help forum, so hopefully they'll get back to me about it.

As for help with website design, so far I've got the thing under control. I welcome any suggestions on how to make it better, and if you want to create custom HTML or more pages on the websites you can through me. This might change later though if the site gets a lot busier, so I may call on you for help with website creation when the game comes out. I don't want to get behind on the latest custom stages! Thanks for your input!

heety9

I like the new design!

And the "Goto" thing is still not fixed...

heety9

Wait, whay is this site called? Laughing

Freaky..

heety9

Oh, and also, this should be stickied.

admin

What do you mean by goto?

heety9

"Goto page Previous 1, 2, 3"

Above the posts.

heety9

Oh yes, is there a way so you can make a quick reply box?

heety9

I can't really tell the difference between the "No new posts" icon and the "No new posts (popular)" icon. Can you change the shade of blue to a lot lighter?

admin

Where do you see the "no new posts (popular)" icon?

heety9

At the bottom of the Brawl board.

heety9

Oh yes, when are we getting a chat room?

admin

I created a chat room on our homepage called SSBB Messenger. However, they have a rule of you can only post once every 10 minutes, because it loops 20 messages for people to see for a certain amount of time. I think this is a good feature to have for when people are challenging another person to a brawl.

A typical message:

"Name: Brawl.admin
Message: Hey linkmh! " Add me to your friends list, and we can challenge each tonight!"

that message would be looping on the chat system so that the other person can read the top 20 messages and see that they are being called out.

What do you think?

admin

The thing with the quick reply box and "goto" is that I am using a borrowed style for this forum. They are fully customizeable, hence, our own banner, but they say don't do it until you are very familiar with the site or you could ruin your forum. So once I know what I'm doing I will fully customize this forum to have everything working the way we want it.

linkmh

sweet.

heety9

heety9

When will I not be a novice Brawler? I thought it would change at 100.

linkmh

admin

Yeah I set it as 500 posts. Is that too much?

Also, heety, I made you a moderator of these forums as well. So you now have the permissions to ban people who do not follow the board rules, or create certain threads like hosting tournaments on here or whatever you would like.

admin

Hey I just updated the SSBB messenger. It works just like AIM now, so we can communicate extremely fast with it.
