Rigor Mortis (DayZ) 141 Posted July 2, 2014 If we had a forum mod who had some time on his/her hands and decided to organize this section up a bit I think it would be pretty awesome. Some ideas for subsections of 'suggestions' could be: - Rules and Regulations -- such as no shooting zones, player death timers, kos controls, etc.- User interface -- such as interacting with objects/people, smell indicators, injury direction indicators etc.- Sounds- Environment -- such as destructible environments, building ideas, etc- Weapons- Crafting -- such as 'raccoon skin + sewing kit = awesome hat'- Other It just seems like there's some pretty well defined but separate sections to 'Suggestions' and it would benefit the community to have this cut up a little bit. It might also help with reducing repeat posting considering people would at least have to go to a particular section to post their suggestions, and they might see a similar topic in that area. I for one have trouble finding things with the 'search' function fairly often and would find some more organization helpful. ... why do I get the feeling that this is going straight to the graveyard lol. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cywehner1234 582 Posted July 2, 2014 These are all pretty basic and general things.. And the first suggestion you posted has been denied many times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because your feelings are wrong in this case.-- The creation of the sub-forums you have suggested under the Suggestions forum only takes a few minutes and can be done. However, the real problem lies in us staff having to move every future topic into their appropriate sub-forums - and topics are always posted in the wrong places.

I was actually thinking about suggesting a totally different layout for the website, but that would require a shit ton of work for something that the devs probably don't even care about.

Clicking on a category would bring up a list of threads in a viewing pane... I'm sure I could flesh the idea out more if I spent some time at it (in my head it's really cool lol), but I kind of dropped the idea b/c I thought it would be a lot of work to implement and I don't have the time to donate to do it myself. I'm a senior in electrical engineering, and on top of my heavy course load I work in robotics research and have plenty of programming to keep me busy until I graduate.

I'd be embarrassed at the crap quality, but I'm too tired for that. :) I think one of the best parts of this setup would be for admins -- you could easily drag and drop threads to reorganize things without having to click all over the place and reload things.

Inception. 9443 Posted July 3, 2014 Ah, that would require for the entire IPB BOARD to be altered. Although a nice suggestion I doubt it will/can be implemented. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
