deskthority - Suggestions and Changelog

"and he took it the wrong way."
no comment.


But in this case I'm not sure the wording would've mattered.

[ripster]

I think I will only do one suggestion a month here.

My suggestion is to combine both the Geekhack and DeskThority wikis into one big MegaKeyboardWiki so that ALL keyboard lovers have ONE place to find the TRUTH!

And World Peace.

Always World Peace.

[woody]

... ALL keyboard lovers ...

Umm ... no, thanks.

[ripster]

One World, One Wiki, One Hope.

Hopefully a Wiki without login access I can get banned from.

Just add your content and forget about the "GeekHack wiki"<--- !
We have the ONE place to find the TRUTH already!

[ripster]

Nah, I get banned here ALL the time.

I'm thinking of fulltime trolling like Woody/Ekaros. This content stuff is HARD!

<Edit: my one post per hour limit results in careful, cogent analysis 100% of the time now>

Suggestion: field in profile for Skype account. While I can do most of my sales negotiations over text, sometimes it is just easier to talk.

Suggestion : creating a "your latest acquisitions" thread. Didn't do it myself yet because I feel like it's not in DT's customs, and maybe it would feel like some kind of duplicate with the photos & videos forum. However, I feel that would help on several purposes :
- People could have a place to brag and discuss about their latest buys
- Contains the flood risk by having one topic for it and not random threads created
- Helps people finding a price quote by seeing how much people spent for a specific item (if they wish to disclose it) or have someone to contact in case the information is not given

-- edit --

The best thing would be to have a database so that people could enter this info and get stats out of it. Would need development though.

[7bit]

Should be added to the Geekhacker refugee camp and donated to the GeekHack forum once they are up again!

[zulios]

Trolling apart, having this set up as a database providing stats could be a real plus. Anybody being proposed a deal could easily check if the price seems decent or not for example. Now that would be difficult to have this integrated into a forum I suppose.

[kint]

actually I thought about such a topic recently too.
Not having a database in mind [I'm way to less nerdy for that], but more in a sense of a great finds/ whats this/ look what I found -kind of way. Just to keep the forum in general a little cleaner from those likely/mostly not thread worthy items.

[hoggy]

May I suggest that we create a temporary subforum in the market place for USA based classifieds?

Shouldn't be needed when the geekhackers are back at geekhack.

[kbdfr]

May I suggest that we create a temporary subforum in the market place for USA based classifieds?

Seeing the rising number of threads in the marketplace, I would now strongly support that.
AND a special subforum for those (in my eyes silly) skull keycaps threads.

[002]

We could have a 'Soap Opera' or 'Drama' sub-forum for all the Clickclack and DT vs GH threads

[Daniel]

Could the "view new posts"-link on top of the page be split into three links?
1. view new posts (as it is today)
2. new posts w/o marketplace
3. new posts only marketplace

Link text could look like this: "View new posts (w/o marketplace / only marketplace)"

[JBert]

I tend to open the marketplace forum first, check if anything interesting happened and then click "Mark Forum as read".

[mintberryminuscrunch]

This but with even more filters.
(talking about the spy)

[rindorbrot]

I have a suggestion, but I don't know if it already has been suggested by someone else.

I'd really like to be able to filter the threads in a subforum (especially in the marketplace) by their tags.
So for example that only "Mass Order" threads are displayed at the marketplace.
That would greatly improve the usability for me.

[rindorbrot]

ok, then please forget what I said.
Didn't see that thread, thanks for the link.

[webwit]

There was a tapatalk update, let me know if anything goes wrong.

[Tarkoon]

Much better now, thanks!
Before the Update 'Latest --> Participated' didn't work - now it does perfectly!

[7bit]

I suggest we have a warning when someone posts an e-mail address.
Something like:

U crazy?

[JBert]

The spy has a "Mark forums read" button but the unread posts page has not. Can it be added to this specific search page?

[webwit]

Sounds like a good feature, although unfortunately I can make no promises when I or xbb have time to look into it.

[Findecanor]

I would like to see the thread tags for merchandise threads in search results, such as New posts. Otherwise, I can't tell whether someone is buying or selling without visiting the thread. There have been too many threads that I have visited when I have been interested in buying, and it was a WANTED thread.

[mintberryminuscrunch]

I suggested this before
-make links open in new tab

It's so nerve wracking if you are writing a post, view the preview and accidentally click on a link without Ctrl pressed

[002]

Middle mouseclick...everything!

[Acanthophis]

It's so nerve wracking if you are writing a post, view the preview and accidentally click on a link without Ctrl pressed

Wow, that's some old school technique.
As 002 said, mouse wheel click opens every link in a new tab. AFAIK every modern browser supports it.
