RE: Proposal for small Forum Structure change - Martijn - 2015-03-17 Could split it between "WIP Showcase" (read-only) and a "WIP testing" where they can put it up as beta RE: Proposal for small Forum Structure change - Hitcher - 2015-03-17 We already have 'Work in progress' and 'Release' prefixes for threads but a small minority don't seem to understand what they mean. I'm open to constructive criticism and don't want to hit the 'Report' button unless I really have to but it is getting out of hand. RE: Proposal for small Forum Structure change - Martijn - 2015-03-17 i meant the showcase as "read-only" RE: Proposal for small Forum Structure change - jjd-uk - 2015-03-17 (2015-03-14, 03:33)Piers Wrote: Kib, you're going to hate me. I have a further suggestion for the Add-on support area. I'll go through the basics before writing a detailed layout, just to see what you think. Hi Piers, me again I like the general idea but I'd tweak the specifics. To me On Demand is always used in connection with official services, so iPlayer for example is generally referred to as a On Demand service. So I'd have: "On Demand (pay)" as you have it. "On Demand (free)" for HBO, iPlayer, USTV, 4oD, USTVNow, YleAreena, Ruutu, etc. "Web Services" for all the stuff that scrapes web sites for free content RE: Proposal for small Forum Structure change - jjd-uk - 2015-03-17 (2015-03-17, 10:41)Hitcher Wrote: We already have 'Work in progress' and 'Release' prefixes for threads but a small minority don't seem to understand what they mean. I'm open to constructive criticism and don't want to hit the 'Report' button unless I really have to but it is getting out of hand. Only those invited to the Skinners group would be able to post in "WIP Showcase" subforum. With "WIP Testing" I wonder if we could restrict thread creation to the Skinners group as well, but anyone can then post to a thread that has been created. So only when a skinner feels ready for public testing do they create the thread in "WIP Testing". RE: Proposal for small Forum Structure change - Hitcher - 2015-03-17 Both ideas sound good to me. RE: Proposal for small Forum Structure change - zag - 2015-03-17 Could we get Artwork Packs renamed to just "Artwork" and put it as a root forum. It contains threads for all the metadata sites and is easily missed by people.

What about allowing moderation of posts in your own threads in the WIP forum? RE: Proposal for small Forum Structure change - jjd-uk - 2015-03-17 I'm not sure what's possible as I don't have Super Moderator rights, that would be @da-anda @Kib and @Martijn I think Re: RE: Proposal for small Forum Structure change - Martijn - 2015-03-17 (2015-03-17, 18:06)jjd-uk Wrote: I'm not sure what's possible as I don't have Super Moderator rights, that would be @da-anda @Kib and @Martijn I think Not me but I applaud the idea RE: Proposal for small Forum Structure change - da-anda - 2015-03-17 so which solution do we want and I'll give it a try to set permissions accordingly.
RE: Proposal for small Forum Structure change - Hitcher - 2015-03-18 jurialmunkey has just posted this - Discussion - rules for this subforum (2015-03-18, 06:17)jurialmunkey Wrote: In light of recent events, I thought it would be good to start a discussion on some rules that can keep the focus of posts in this forum on the development of skins - especially considering this is a development subforum. If we could get a sticky with some rules that we could kindly point offending posters to then hopefully the discussion can then stay on track. RE: Proposal for small Forum Structure change - Hitcher - 2015-03-21 I've been thinking about this idea a bit more - (2015-03-19, 14:41)jjd-uk Wrote: Skin Ideas subforum - An area open to everyone for posting of ideas, concepts, mockups etc.How about we make it even simpler? [Concept] Ideas, mock-ups, and suggestions.
[Development] Work in progress.
[Release] Alpha and Beta releases.
Everyone is able to post in them and, hopefully, know what to expect from them. RE: Proposal for small Forum Structure change - ronie - 2015-03-21 imo it's overkill to split up the skin wip forum. on top of that the forum mods will have to move skin threads between the various subforums all the time (depending on the development stage of the skin). we have thread prefixes to indicate the status of a skin, that's good enough for me.

I agree but it seems it's not good enough for some users. |
