64Digits To-Do List

Posted by Castypher on Oct. 13, 2012, 7:05 p.m.

Ever since the move, we've lost a lot of features (dammit ChIkEn), and that's not counting when we made the transition to V3. One of them was the developers' to-do list. Now I've been wanting to contribute a little more to the site, but aside from school getting in the way, people really aren't very clear about their complaints and suggestions. So I'd like to try and dedicate a blog to this. I'm going to ask a few questions, and you can think of any bugs that need to be fixed, or any nice new features to add.

My personal ability is very limited, so don't ask me to add new features. I've been trying to add a review page for a while now and just don't have much of the knowledge. Instead, I'm better at handling features that are already in place. One example is the silly but obviously problematic nomination removal bug.

So what I'd like you guys to do is come up with a few things. With every option, consider tagging it with what you personally consider its priority to be.

What bugs need to be fixed?

You may think this is a stupid question, but we don't all see the same things. You may use features that I don't. I'm specifically talking about things that either don't work as intended, or just flat out don't work.

What pages need fixing?

This kind of fits in with bugs, but on a larger scale. The to-do list is broken, for starters, and I haven't seen the bug reports page spouting information (go figure, on 64Digits, our bug reporting is bugged).

What new features do you want to see?

MP changes? MotM modifications? Game reviews? Media pages? What about the 64Digits RPG? While it's not in my personal power to do most of this, there are people around the site who have the skill. Let us know. While these are generally low priority in comparison to the others, maybe you'll luck out and Xemic will be bored enough to make V4.

That's pretty much it for now. Please use this for site-related discussion only. Any off-topic posts will be deleted. We're trying to make this a better place to chill out at, so please be honest and reasonable.

It still says "Happy Birthday, sirxemic! :D" and it's not his birthday anymore D:

In all fairness, I have tried for two hours now to figure out how to get the old randomized banner messages again. They're in the DB but the banner control is in not one, but several different files and I can't figure out which does what.

- Comment styling (e.g. the scrollbar still appears sometimes and just messes with things regularly)

- The banner needs to say "Happy birthday, Kilin!" in 2 days.

- There is no interface for devs to see a list of bug reports (atm it's just phpmyadmin, it seems)

And what I want the most but takes just way too much time:

- Complete redesign of THE WHOLE WEBSITE.

@kilin: Should just be in the header file commented out, I would do things myself but I still need to set up my git files.

Also, improved like system? (Make e.g. colseed's likes count less)

I'm thinking we should aim to get this done before the new year, what do you guys think?
Yes, I am thinking it is feasible as well, given the fact that by the time we are done with all those things, time machines exist, making it possible to travel back in time to before the end of the new year.

I want a button to dump all my blogs into a file. It's just one simple query.

Being able to backup blogs this way would be nice.
