Late Posted May 30, 2003 Report Posted May 30, 2003 One thing I liked on the other board was the entry of a poster's location, just below their post number and status. For some reason, it helped me better remember certain posters when I had a geographic connection (East Coast, UK, EU, Japan, etc.). What do you think? Could we bring this feature onto profiles — meaning the profile we all see when reading a thread? I know it's listed when you follow the links to a poster's profile (if they've chosen to fill in that datum), but I always thought it was nice to see just under a user's handle. Thoughts? Opinons? Greazy? Quote
Soul Stream Posted May 31, 2003 Report Posted May 31, 2003 i'd also like to see individual's "signs" posted...i'm a leo, baby. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted May 31, 2003 Report Posted May 31, 2003 Hm... I might have to dive into the programming to do that, since I don't see an option in my setup menus. I'll give it a whirl. Bear with me. Quote
Ed S Posted May 31, 2003 Report Posted May 31, 2003 I hope you can do it. I like the international flavor as well as knowing where US posters were located at a glance. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted May 31, 2003 Report Posted May 31, 2003 Don't mean to pile on, but I rather liked that feature on the BNBB as well. When I don't have a more significant signature, I often make mine "Kansas City (MO), USA", to approximate the old feature, but it doesn't help that much if everyone else isn't doing it too. It ain't no big deal if you can't do it b3-er, but if you can - I'd be a happy guy!! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 2, 2003 Report Posted June 2, 2003 I'm always in front of the computer. What else do you need? Quote
Guest Chaney Posted July 27, 2003 Report Posted July 27, 2003 Ummmm.... Any luck on this one? I'm having trouble sleeping with this not knowing where certain members are at any given moment. Maybe we can all be outfitted with one of those ankle bracelet real-time locator systems? Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted July 28, 2003 Report Posted July 28, 2003 Tony, This isn't available in the software at this time and my programming skills aren't good enough to implement this myself. They just came out with an update for this software (ver. 1.2) but I don't think it's in there, either. The good thing is that the programmers take suggestions. I'll email them and suggest this feature in the next update. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 Oh yeah baby! Found a mod on the web that added the location beneath your name! I wish I could say that I did it myself (I tried), but this is good enough, eh?!? Anymore suggestions? Quote
Guest Chaney Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 Now I'll always know where to find myself. You ARE good! Thanks! Quote
Guest Chaney Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 Dear Mr. Alfredson, Have we lost the location feature? Yours most sincerly, Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 Hey, I didn't even notice! Since that was a feature added on to the original software (a mod) and I then updated the software to a new version, we lost that feature. I'll have to see if I can put it in again. Thanks for the heads-up! Quote
patricia Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 (edited) Ummmm.... Any luck on this one? I'm having trouble sleeping with this not knowing where certain members are at any given moment. Maybe we can all be outfitted with one of those ankle bracelet real-time locator systems? I refuse to wear an ankle bracelet, unless it's lightweight, attractive and 22K. The heavy, plastic kind invite stares and derision here in Calgary, AB. Canada. But, I'm with Chuck on this. I know where I am, when I post. Right here, in front of my computer. Edited December 5, 2003 by patricia Quote
Jazz Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 But, I'm with Chuck on this. I know where I am, when I post. Right here, in front of my computer. Yeah, but how do we know that? How do we know your being right there in front of your computer isn't a red herring designed to send us on the wildest crazy wild goose chase ever, huh? Huh, huh? Quote
chris olivarez Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 But remember no matter where you go there you are. Quote
Jazz Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 Then why does everyone try to go "find themselves"? Quote
patricia Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 (edited) Then why does everyone try to go "find themselves"? Jazz, I guess you don't really know and it could indeed be a red herring...heh heh. Are people still trying to "find themselves"?? I thought they quit doing that years ago. I just go like this.......there I am. Edited December 5, 2003 by patricia Quote
Jazz Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 Well, uh. Err. You uh. Didn't really get my post, see. What I MEANT by "everybody" is uh, nobody does that anymore. Yeah. Gotcha didn't I? Hee. Quote
