What would you like to see?

[Carrie]

Ok this site is hoppin again and we are always open to new ideas. The thing that sets UTC apart from the rest is that it is Run by the people for the people.
So here it is a thread set aside for all your ideas! Post here what you would like to see for UTC. If you have any ideas on how to improve, or if there is something you would just like to see, be it new themes, a new forum subject, ect....For the memebers who were members at the old UTC maybe you would like to see the Farmers Market again.


Post away members we would really like to hear your ideas!:P

[Nilly_Chipples]

Im all for the UTC Radio.:)

[Carrie]

You want a radio kinda like the PCTT has?, like the IRC radio?

[Nilly_Chipples]

yep yep!

[c0lin]

we have discussed bringing back the two old themes. I think we decieded that eventually it will get done. But you all have to remember, its A LOT of work for only one coder...

so the short answer is, hang tight, we will try to get to it...


anything else? what do you want out of UTC? Any forum suggestions? More news? Less news? Anything you want to see in the download section?

[Yoda]

here is some suggestions:

Userguides for p2p programs (I can help out on those)
A RIAA Thread to tell everything what the riaa is doing and suggestions on how to keep safe (Mostly for newbies)

AND A DAMN QUICK REPLY BOX!

[multi]

so no one here was interested in waste?
the waste forum seems to have disappeared :)

or did it become a private forum ?

waste works great within a forum community with a private forum..

[Imagenyuss]

Could a 'preview post' button be added to the New Thread Page for posts. I've been posting new Posts and either have missed it or something. I know there is a 'preview reply,' but I have not seen a 'preview post'.
Not to get anyone confused: I want to see what my post looks like before I start a new Thread.
thanks - micah

[Roadblock]

There should be one, this came up the other day. Which UTC Theme are you using?

I dont mean to be a stinker, but it is not hard work... you just use a royalty free theme that someone makes for you, edit some crap if you want to ( would take even me a few seconds ) and upload. No coding necessary- especially because the XP theme you just download and upload :)

[Nothingface5384]

i 2nd on the utc radio :)

[Imagenyuss]

I third the UTC radio. I think it'd be good if UTC even hooked up with an existing radio establishment (like www.digitallyimported.com ). just a thought.

[Roadblock]

I took this screenshot before I posted this. I Use Green Thumb, and it is there for me. How does it appear for you?

[c0lin]

RB i think he is talking about a "preview new post" When you post a new thread.
not the "preview reply" button when replying to a post.

if im wrong just ignore me :cool:

[rastagard]

Yea, that's what I thought he was talkin about too, so I had to look for myself.


Here it is. I have a preview in my skin.......

[Roadblock]

c0lin, you may be right. I, like rasta, assumed that he meant the other preview. I will have to check into this further if that is the case..........

[rastagard]

That is the preview new post button.


I am not sure if that is what he is askin about or if it is something else, but I always preview before I post anything. I have never had a problem.........

[c0lin]

it aint showin for me btw
im using the greenthumb theme :cool:

[rastagard]

Ahhh, OK. Mystery solved, it is yer skin. It doesn't show in Green Thumb. It shows in Tech2 so if you really need it, use that skin instead.


Maybe someone who knows sumthin about this stuff can fix it..............

[DreamCaster]

Hmm....This is a greenthumb for me ;)

Maybe this is a permissions thing

[rastagard]

New POST, bud, not reply. It isn't showin when you start a new thread.


I am not sure if it is this way in only Green Thumb, but it works fine in Mech2.


Prolly the way the skin is set up........

[Imagenyuss]

thanks guys

new request:
ever now and again I'll find that a post of mine has been moved or deleted. I would appreciate it if when this was done the member was notified. not notifying the user when a post is moved isn't that bad, but getting a post deleted and no reason givin... I don't like that too much.
-micah

[Roadblock]

We have had a few technical issues, so you can't necessarily assume that any of your posts were intentionally deleted. We make it a rule to notify members if it is deemed necessary to move a post or especially if a post is deleted. ;)

Rule to live by - Don't post anything that you think is likely to get deleted. (lol) :D

[NealT]

I want Cows.
More Cows.
EVEN MORE COWS!

It sure would be nice to see the potential themes before you go through all the work to change yours...

Am I missing an "adult intellectual stimulating discussion" place?

More smilies (I like the "sniper" one myself... and can provide it for no charge)

I use MainFrame. I have "preview reply"

[rastagard]

In the "Green Thumb" theme, there is no Preview Post button for previewing a new thread you are starting. This is the main reason I quit using that theme. I believe this is only the case when starting a new thread, there is a preview post button for replying to a post.

[rainbowdemon]

Is this what everybody is looking for?

[rastagard]

Yup, it's missing in the greenthumb theme.

[Fister]

Ok, we seem to have the "preview post" well in hand.
lol

What about some UTC desktop themes? Anyone interested in those?

BTW, I will try and get an answer to the question about WASTE :type:

Here you go about WASTE:
http://www.unitethecows.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=23

We have an "other" forum for it

[Project-Buckfast]

How about an automatic refresh function which ya can set to what time suit yours needs. For example if you send a PM and your waiting on a reply you could enter a value of 3mins and your page would refresh every 3 mins then.

I would also like to see the weather for the day ahead somewhere, maybe the home page?

[Carrie]

I like that weather idea:)

Um and a quick reply box too:)

[rastagard]

I wanna see FW nekkid. Oh, did I say that out loud???????

Seems like I just don't see that much p2p news at utc anymore it seems to be like 80-90% software updates...and such. Thats not a bad thing but I miss the p2p news and I'm always searching the net for more of that..

True...I have not found much p2p news lately....do you know something we don't?

[JiMiThInG]

I guess I have just collected a good list of places to find stuff. PM me over at p2pforums if you like and I would be more then happy to share it with you guys to give to your news posters...I would say pm me here but I might miss it for a bit as I don't make it by the site everyday anymore.

[-pin-]

since i suspect we have a lot of students (of all ages) here, i think a 'homework', 'tutor' or 'knowledge' type area would work out.

if it were a homework style area where students can post questions, then maybe splitting it up into K-12, Post-Secondary, etc. would work nicely.

i know i would post in it, both to give and get help.

[Carrie]

I think thats a good idea pin. :clap:

[Shades Coolray]

Yeah, I'm with pin on that one, we definitely need a bootleg term paper *cough* I mean a 'homework help' section.

[sepia]

I would help in the tutoring area. I can scan in and send to the mods my LVA tutoring license--good for all things except keyboarding.
You know, there used to be a site called PinkMonkey, I think that was it, that had like cliff Note stuff and all sorts of homework help. Yup, that was it, Pinkmonkey.com

[Nilly_Chipples]

I would like to see a more flexible UTC and getting some of the older crowd back here posting ;)

[Roadblock]

UTC had well over 30,000 members back when we were much stricter than we are now. I would love to see some of that crowd back and posting. ;)

[Nilly_Chipples]

I was only at the old UTC for maybe a month before it got shut down so most of those people I have met elsewhere. Right before Christmas this place was hopping, and now it just seems that noone is online anymore :( Whether it be summertime now or what not it would be nice to see any old faces :D

[Roadblock]

You probably hit it on the head about it being summertime. Only us hardcore geeks/cows are around right now. (lol) :type:

[Carrie]

I can't believe you just called me a geek!

[NitnayLion]

Here a geek,there a geek,everywhere a geek geek.


Old Unite had a cow. Eiii Eiii Moo.

Totally!!!!! LMFAO:clap:

[JiMiThInG]

Yeah summer always slows down everywhere a bit. And the old UTC community has pretty much been split into 3 different places :-(

[DJTEEL]

yeah,jimithing,i noticed too,that upon visiting p2pforums a few times recently,i didn't see the user id's that i'd become familia with seeing so often in the past 5 months or so. it's only been a few weeks since i was there,but alas...alot of people seem to be vacationing or something... i saw alot of unfamiliar(to me) users there. same thing here though. it's been close to a month since i've been here and i notice there's not many here that i'm familiar with seeing also. i agree,,,gotta be the summer..that's the very reason that it's been so long,since i last logged in here.
if they don't i'll just post here and in p2p, about 20 times daily hoping to make up for everyone elses absence,hehehee.

[Project-Buckfast]

For the new changes, i'd like to see a clock on the homepage, nothin fancy just the time:)

I no I have a clock at the bottom right of my screen but it takes effort to look down there lol:hammered:

[Nilly_Chipples]

Ummm let me see.....different colors for the themes. Please.

[Project-Buckfast]

Yeah we definatly need a few more themes.

I think maybe a thread where we post info on how to keep our kids busy and out of trouble. I used to have a book called "Feed Me I'm Yours" that had all sorts of stuff in it like peanut butter play-doe, edible fingerpaints, dough for making tree ornaments at Yuletime, etc.
A;so, maybe a recipe spot and an herbal spot for making potppurri, bath saltss, etc. I have all sorts of recipes on that.

and, I still think the tutoring forum would be good.
I would help with all that stuff if you like.

I really can spell well, I'm just a lousy typist, so no keyboarding lessons.

[Nilly_Chipples]

There is already a tut forum :)

[Carrie]

The tutorial Forum can be found Here (http://www.unitethecows.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=44)

Any one who wants to do a tutorial is welcome to it.

I have been working on some VERY cool tutorials for PS 7. I think that you will all like them:)

[sepia]

I know about that one, and I look forward to seeing your tuts. I was referring to a few pages back where someone wanted a homework tutorial--you know, like math, algebra, classical bookreading, art histroy, philosophy, etc.
I would love to see a philosophy section, but I think that is pretty obscure and not too many people nowdays study that.

[Nilly_Chipples]

OK, so I'm bored today and was sittin here thinking of how cool it'd be to have UTC RADIO, with our own Dj's...locals ya know. I'd ee\ven be willing to do it.;)


And.....I think I'd like a purple theme too:bigwave:






I know I know, want in one hand and shit in the other....BLAH BLAH

[Carrie]

I want a red, black, and white theme....:now: :pimp:

[crackerjacker]

some more spam

[Carrie]

Done and done...but..I have to request that you help with that too...LOL Its no fun spamming by your self!:clap:

[sepia]

Bit like sex, always nice to have someone else to help ya out, it's kinda weird moaning your own name.

Originally posted by Feenies-Wife

When a child does his coloring and uses a lot of reds and blacks, the parent will at times be called in, especially if the kid is acting weird in other ways.

Around here, the Red/Black thing is a gang thing, as is the blue white for the southside.

[Carrie]

There is also black and blue.

Believe me when Isay, there is no under lying anger, or gang affiliation with my choice in colors...Just my favorite colors.

[Nilly_Chipples]

So is plain white and many many other color combinations.



I can't believe you didn'y know about her favorite colors sepia......................look at her sig,avatar............biography :lol:

whoa! No shit! I think I would almost surprise myself with how fast I could spam then!:FW:

[Peer Richard]

There are two books that I am dying to see and read: the 1989 or 1990 TSR Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide. On the front cover of those books, there is a logo-symbol-trademark that is shown as a blue background enclosing AD&D in white letters and 2nd edition in red letters. They are the early ADandD 2nd edition rpg core rulebooks. Is there any way for me to see and read those books using the file-sharing of this computer-net site or the Torrents one. If there is, please let me know in steps how to open the files for those books because I have never used file-sharing and I don't know what it is. Also, I am not even average at using the computer, so if any person has a way to copy those books and send them to my email or post them in this thread, I would appreciate it.

[riscy]

I would like to see the timezone/time for each user in their profile on the left so you can figure out when someone might be online. It could show the local time at the postees location.

I have a FF extension which does different timezones anyway, but just a thought.

I know location is an option in the profile.

I am still going to look into this, just been really busy :bluangel:

I do think that would be a cool feature, but Im not sure how it would work and all. Either way, it would be neat to see what time people are on, and what time it is where they are from.

Ha :rofl3: just caught that one.

[MikeHunt]

I would like to see the front page become available for viewing - to anyone coming to UTC, thereby promoting more interest in the site.
Also, the front page should be better maintained , with 'old and dead wood' posts being deleted in favor of new content daily.
The front page is especially important, as this is the first impression people see of UTC.

[SirBillGatesJnrII]

Really, that's the philosophy we like here. Only the other day, I told someone the very same thing "Where do you want to go today?" he replied "Away from you". I laughed.

How about MS IE on your table? I'm staking $5 on these touch sensitive devices being in every home. Vista has just been released and is a good seller. Give it a try. For web technologies such as the one you're promoting here, I find MS SQL Server, and ASP.net VERY satisfactory. It can be coded in a LOT of languages.

Bye now, keep on computing!

[SirBillGatesJnrII]

We want instant on computing, and thinking of putting Windows on a Chip. We call it Chip.net. I'll let you know how we get on. It's better than ReadyBoost, because it works.

[SirBillGatesJnrII]

An alternative is to not leave it on, something we call "Negative human experiences" or NHE. We will rid you of this. (Shares available, I have millions!)

[SirBillGatesJnrII]

I mean leave it on. Reminds me of my coding days as a junior programmer. Jeex, sorry folks.

[SirBillGatesJnrII]

Jeez*

How bout cleaning up the spam and try to quit deleting my posts in the 1,000,000 thread.

[BakedDon]

ouch spam is taking over... seems like quite the battle.. if there is anyway I can help..

[MikeHunt]

Don - anytime you see :spam: you can report it by clicking on the 'paper' thingy icon in the upper right corner of the post.
Hover over it to make sure.

I don't mind a little interesting spam or pr0n, but some of that shit was getting rough.. especially those cam ho's that look like they would plant an icepick in your back the minute yuo looked away.. while they were ..um..er...sucking your schmeckle at the same time. UGH

[BakedDon]

ya and some stuff you cannot unsee .. I'm sure your bound to catch something from the links too.

[MikeHunt]

every time I check in , I try to report all the spam I see.

Note to mods: could we moderate any new 'cows-in-training' posts for , say the first 5 posts - to avoid hit&run spam??...or any other similar approach that would work.

I wouldn't mind a little spam from registered and contributing users , but this 'drive by' crap is killing me
