Mark W Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 There are over 3000 people in the "Pre Members" category.How much do you think I want to e-mail 3000 people, the majority having to be told "Put more effort into your posts: use punctuation, capitals, decent grammar, etc."?

JT! Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 (edited) This is my idea, and no one really said a bad word about it really. And atached are the icons i made for it.[attachmentid=4106][attachmentid=4107][attachmentid=4108][attachmentid=4109]I sent them to tom who said he'd try them out like he said on the thred. And nothing happend, so i sent him a PM to cheak he got them all ok, and i didn't get a reply. So now i doubt either messages got through. Oh, and i still think the thing that tell's you when it's a memebers birthday on the main page should be activated. Edited April 24, 2006 by JT!

flipkickbs Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 ive been here for over a month and i havent been validated and im baffeled on what ive done wrong to not get validated i give loads of good infomation and tips in posts im confuzzled i've been here for over a month and i haven't been validated and i'm baffled on what i've done wrong to not get validated I give loads of good infomation and tips in posts i'm confused. All i did there was copy and pasted what you said, then ran it through the spell checker, before you post, use that Basically just don't ever talk crap, make sure your posts have a purpose, and spelling and grammar is up to scratch. You'll be a member in no time. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I should probably point out when I'm scouting through NMC, if I see a spelling mistake I don't instantly go "NO" or whatever. It's largely a matter of time, as in having enough hours in the day to work, ride, eat, sleep, drink, talk to people, sort shit out, look on TF, then go through NMC posts to check out who needs to be validated. There is another thread on the forum suggesting people to be validated though, so don't worry too much about my hectic lifestyle hampering your chances of validation...EDIT: JT - if I'm totally honest, those icons look a bit wank. They're not particularly easy to read, and if they just had the same colour background as the forum they'd look a shitload better. They just have to have "FS", "WTD", or whatever in them. I know why you've done them in different colours and I get that, but it jsut doesn't look great... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know why you've done them in different colours and I get that, but it jsut doesn't look great...If they all had, say a light blue background, then they wouldn't stand out from each other. They don't really need to be readable, as it's the colour that matters so it's easy to tell each topic apart.I'm learning how to use photoshop better now so i could alter them, but don't know what i could do to them to make them standout from each other, and at the same time blend in with the rest of the forum.

Cannondale Ashton Rider Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 HeyI have been looking on this forum for quite a while and have decided to start contributing,I think that it would be good if you have a user page where the user could enter html code like a minisite with the forum frame around it. On some other forums I visit this system works well as a way to present photos in a nice way and for the user to say more about themselves etc.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Kearney Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) HeyI think that it would be good if you have a user page where the user could enter html code like a minisite with the forum frame around it.Cheers I think thats a good idea but it comes with the possibility of the forum being clogged up with thousands of new unnecessary pages, when we can simply write in our user profile about our interests etc... I think that feature does it's job. Edited April 25, 2006 by Joe_Kearney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that feature does it's job. If it was only open to validated members it would not be too clogged, I would guess there are a few hundred validated members? And its only a html file probably a few kb's in size, much less than the size of a picture.Obiously its just a suggestion, it does seem to work well on other forums.

Joe_Kearney Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 You'd be suprised, i'm member 301 and i joined before the validation system was put in place.Yeah according to my calculations there are 1587 members (I'm so bored) including mods/admins. etc... so that is quite a lot of pages.

yoyoyo Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 I don't see how it's that different to the gallery though. Apart from it can store more pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) Not all those members are active, think its like 500 ish active members.500 x 5 kb = 2.5mb, not a lot and not all members would make a page.Btw new members look at "Cannondale Ashton Rider" above, 14 hours and 12 posts...
