SE Future...

[Jeff Lewis]

Brian, please don't abust the report to moderator feature.

Get a scroll whell and save your wrists.

[BrianEvans]

Hi Jeff,
I am so impetuous, I just thought I would press the moderator quick input thingie because the debut date of your next version was nigh.
Anyway by way of saying a deep remorseful sorry I would like to help on the YaBB SE Team, forthcoming.
Hey Jeff, please put me in charge of the Scroll Mouse Department.  
All newbies get a new scroll mouse.
It will be programmed to go straight to "next" or "previous"
and never ever go near the moderator quick input thingie.
I have a scroller  already. But it makes me dizzy and tired as I try to land it on the next and previous. and now my finger is getting arthritic and the noise from its crackling and squeaking keeps my wife awake.
Perhaps they could be made a bit bigger also ?
Like landing on an aircraft carrier in a storm.
Maybe click on a large gif picture of ... er whatever star gets us going.
I know I myself would soon forget the pain in my hands.
Anyway your work is very much appreciated Jeff.
Cheers from Brian Evans in New Zealand.
And thanks a lot.
Oh my poor wifey....

Oh a new version

okay for suggestions:

#1: a portal mod, giving us somethinglike xoops/postnuke etc.

#2: ok I know this might not be populr, but I tend to like frames, could it somehow be possible?
for instance having blocks right/left/top and having the board in the middel?

#3: fix the fact that entering articles directly forinstance through recent eetc. will not make yabb se update the status on the mainpage so you dont know if theres new articles

#4: icq notification? as an alternative to email?

#5: a votingsystem (and a gallery)

#6: more configurable member-levels

#7: restrictedposting in certain forums, so only list/forum moderators etc. can start threads.

And still no new release....

Whenever I receive a new notification, I rush to my pc to check whether it is about the new release or not....

Ah well, like we say in Holland : geduld is een schone zaak

[Brad]

Is the template updated in 1.3?

[kurgan]

btw. additionall there seems to be some sort of problem with the cookie/auth system

people frequently has to delete their cookies to be let in

that is not very userfriendly

[kurgan]

oh yeah, I totally forgot:
 
a calendar system, possibly with email/icq etc. notification option

[rican5vl]

How much longerrrrrrrrrrr lol hehehe


Rican5vL


Its been many weeks    LoL

After this release I am settling in with yabb se 1.3

In fact I dont need all these darn features...they are just good to have whenever the need is there

lol

[kurgan]

btw talking of 1.3 , Im running 1.0  what is new in 1.3?

[Nemesis]

LOL, 1.3 will be released when there are no longer any major bugs. Jeff (and so do I) want to make sure this is a really good release. Last time he released 1.1.0 he got allot of flack for it.

I want to say keep up the good work YaBB SE team, and take your time. 1.1.0 works good so no rush.

[Golden Tiger]

It all comes down to this...

Either delay in releasing until the software is totally done:
A month or two of users complaining that the software isn't released, then over a year of praise for a job well done

OR

Release now:
No more users complaining about the software never being released... and over a year of users complaining that the software doesn't work, that it has bugs, and that it should have been developed more...

Release later... everybody will be happy!  

[kurgan]

still nobody has mentioned WHAT is in 1.3?

[queks]

Before the database problem, there was a thread abt this v1.3 and what is inside v1.3. Anyway, during that time i thought i saw someone mention that v1.3 will be release in abt 2 wks time. But till this day still no news. :-(. Can someone update us on the progress of v1.3.
E.g How is the testing going on. Any major bug found. How long will the Beta testing go on .... etc.

[kurgan]

or just a few workds on what we are waiting so eagerly for?

[Golden Tiger]

I believe we are waiting for bug corrections as well as extended testing (to find any potential bugs).  In essence, beta testing at the moment.

Then again, I think that is what we are waiting on...
