Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 5:38 pm Post subject: 360-HQ Site Suggestions HERE!!!
If you have a suggestion for the site, please list it below. If you like a feature from another site just take a screenshot to explain it easier.
Anyway, feel free to contribute!
Suggestions Completed:
- Add permanent link to html code used when submitting news. (gamexxover)
Other Suggestions:
- Add Comments to News (X_Splinter)
- Add Quick Reply to Forums (blackjack22)
- Social icons like, tweet, digg and so for each individual forum post. (tweaked)
- A countdown for new releases (SPPV)
- New rss feed - xbmc style (deltaarmstrong2000)
Instead of social icons in forums i was thinking more along the lines of repuation.. This way, if someone likes one of your threads/posts then you will earn +1 rep. heheh sound good? _________________________________________________________ HQ Network:

Add the ability to delete our posts. Yesterday for some reason one of my posts went up twice and it would be nice in situations like that to be able to just delete it
Ability to lock your own threads woud be good to, got the answer you need lock it.

nope, sorry, had problems in the past with that.
People come in make a bunch of posts say 50, then go and delete them when they are done.
I would suggest putting a permanent link on the Submit News area, in the same box maybe that links to your tutorial on How to submit news.
I always end up searching for it when ever I have updated my pc and lost my bookmarks, I can never remember the codes for linking a word in the story, or the code for News Source linking.
So for newer people or people that do not usually do any news submission, Anything that can make it easier for them is better and may encourage them to try posting a news or come back again to post more.
Second would be maybe a simple basic template in the tutorial somewhere, I made one for myself in Word Document today so I can do some cut and past to make things faster.
But I would Say a hard coded link to your tutorial next to the Submit News Link would be very helpful.
Here is a partial of the one I made for myself..
I can just fill in or cut and past over the blue areas to complete the code then just paste that into the news.
I do have one question on the news submissions however, How do you add a youtube video to the news? Or does that have to be done by Admin? If the later I guess I would just post the addy with a note saying "add this youtube vid to this story here".
I just add the embed link from youtube where I want it and Hobbs approves it. Only Admins can actualy embed, but he usualy uses the size I choose and such

It would be cool and good for the site if the forums had ability of social icons like, tweet, digg and so for each individual post. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!
