Socoder -> On Topic -> TEN : Site Survey
Mon, 05 Sep 2016, 00:25
Jayenkai	Ten Years have now passed. Some features have stayed, some have disappeared, and one particular feature seems to have made a surprise, but welcomed return! But the tweaking never ends. As I'm in a very tweaking mood, recently, I thought it'd be nice to ask if you've any thoughts or suggestions, so have put together one of those annoying questionnaire doohickeys to find out if there are any thoughts. (And if I don't get enough answers, I'll shove one of those giant "HEY! ANSWER THE SURVEY!!!" popups onto the front of the site!) Answer honestly, people!! 1. What's the worst thing about SoCoder? 2. How do you think that can be improved? 3. What's the feature you use most often? 4. What features do you think I should probably scrap? 5. Does anything function incorrectly, in your opinion? 6. Are you happy with the overall layout of SoCoder? If not, suggest a better layout! 7. Do you have any suggestions for new forum sections that aren't already available? 8. Are there any BBCodes that are missing, or that could be added to the site? 9. Do you have any suggestions for site themes? Where necessary, include diagrams!! 10. Are there any other features you'd like to see on SoCoder? Thanks for you time. And thanks for sticking around after a decade! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

GfK	1. What's the worst thing about SoCoder? The "happy birthday" messages to all and sundry (people who I've never actually seen on the site). 2. How do you think that can be improved? By stopping doing it. 3. What's the feature you use most often? Shoutbox. 4. What features do you think I should probably scrap? Polls. 5. Does anything function incorrectly, in your opinion? My brain, and sometimes my bowe..... oh you mean here? No. I think all that works. 6. Are you happy with the overall layout of SoCoder? If not, suggest a better layout! It's a lil "Geocities" but I've kinda got used to it. 7. Do you have any suggestions for new forum sections that aren't already available? Nope. 8. Are there any BBCodes that are missing, or that could be added to the site? No idea. 9. Do you have any suggestions for site themes? Where necessary, include diagrams!! Nope. 10. Are there any other features you'd like to see on SoCoder? Better support for managing images/uploads (i.e. being able to delete them). Block/ignore feature.

cyangames	1. What's the worst thing about SoCoder? I dunno, I like it here! 2. How do you think that can be improved? Errr.....Maybe have the latest uploads maintain proportions? 3. What's the feature you use most often? Mostly just the forums, i do like occasionally bunging an image on the latest uploads also 4. What features do you think I should probably scrap? Not scrap, but curtail the birthday thing so it's onl for active members. 5. Does anything function incorrectly, in your opinion? Not as far as I've noticed! 6. Are you happy with the overall layout of SoCoder? If not, suggest a better layout! Honestly, it's fine, it's functional and does the job, pinch and zoom is fine on mobile really also. 7. Do you have any suggestions for new forum sections that aren't already available? Not really, nope. 8. Are there any BBCodes that are missing, or that could be added to the site? Can't think of any 9. Do you have any suggestions for site themes? Where necessary, include diagrams!! 4 Tone Gameboy! NES Palette only, Woodgrained Atari 2600! 10. Are there any other features you'd like to see on SoCoder? Maybe a tool where you can view all the images / other things someone has uploaded by clicking on their username? I dunno, could be cool to see where we've all come from game making wise. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

rockford	1. What's the worst thing about SoCoder? Lack of time to access it. Lack of users. 2. How do you think that can be improved? Improvements? Pah! 3. What's the feature you use most often? Shoutbox. Forums. Uploads. 4. What features do you think I should probably scrap? Why scrap anything? If it's all working, then leave it as it is. 5. Does anything function incorrectly, in your opinion? I mention things as they come up, but nothing major springs to mind. 6. Are you happy with the overall layout of SoCoder? If not, suggest a better layout! Layout is fine. 7. Do you have any suggestions for new forum sections that aren't already available? Ummm... 8. Are there any BBCodes that are missing, or that could be added to the site? All seem fine. 9. Do you have any suggestions for site themes? Where necessary, include diagrams!! I never change themes in any forums I visit. Same here. Waste of your time creating them if they aren't used. 10. Are there any other features you'd like to see on SoCoder? A spellchekka for forum replies, maybe.

Jayenkai	If you'd like to try out the hastily cobbled together Mobile Edition, you can click the link on the very bottom of the page. The frontpage is still a mess, and the menus are completely gone. Frankly it's all a bit of a mess. But it's a start, and that's what counts! Think of it as the "mini-coder" site. The setting is saved to a cookie, so each device can have it's own setting. Use the half-assed on your phone, and the full at home. Let me know if it looks "Bloody Awful" and is mostly unusable! Meanwhile, tomorrow I'll see if my tweak to the birthday announcements has worked. It should pop up in the shoutbox, but not on the frontpage, but I'm not 100% sure on how the hell I'm supposed to code it! Baffling myself! If it works on the frontpage, I'll rejig the shoutbox to match. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Honestly no idea if I did the maths right on the "Too Inactive to warrant a birthday greeting" thing, so will need to wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow, SoCoder is temporarily listed as having yet another birthday, and so is "BGDDisco" BGDDisco hasn't logged in for a while, but SoCoder has, so with any luck that should be what pops up on both the frontpage and in the shoutbox. .. Hopefully! Maybe! Bloody maths! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Mobile View is coming along reasonably well, albeit slowly. I've got the main forum view down to a single column, and stripped away a lot of the "You more than likely won't use these from your phone" BBCode buttons. I'm currently trying to figure out why the thing seems to be leaving a huge chasm on the right hand side. Probably something stupid I've done, somewhere in the CSS. .. It's usually something CSSy! But, yeah, coming along nicely. Anything with "Comments" (eg showcases/articles/blogs/etc) are still using two-column comments, so I need to fix those next. Again, if you'd like to complain about it, and see it in action, click the "Dodgy Mobile Edition" link on the bottom right of the site. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	OK, birthday wishes are now under control. Anyone who hasn't been here in over 6 months doesn't get cake. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Yay, more cake for us!!!!
