Easy. You have an idea, post it below, I'll referece to it. If you have a link to a previously posted idea, post it below. If you have a bug you want to report, post the URL to the thread reporting it below. I'll put them into an archive here where the mods/Archronos can access it for future reference.

Suggestion:
* "Who's on now" feature. This allows people to see how many people are on a particular forum at a certain moment, who these people are, and who the top posters are.

I dont like the "top poster" idea. It will become a contest.

I'm having trouble posting news in my group.

When I click Preview, and then make a change, and click Preview again, the news preview reverts back to the original.

Also, when I clicked submit, no page was displayed saying "Your news item has been submitted" and the news didn't appear on the homepage.

See! Its already become a contest.

As for the News Bug: It's a browser refresh problem. Your Browser is not refreshing the page properly when you make a change, and is loading the exact thing you just had up. This happens often if you use an Internet with some sort of accelerator technology, often offered with Dial Up connections now days. If closing and reopening your Browser does not fix this you must clear out all of your cookies, as this is what the accelerator technology uses for half of it's acceleration. As for the News post not showing up right away it doesn't always, wait a few mins, give the server time to refresh it's self and it will show.

As for this thread: While I dont really deny that this is a good Idea, I see no use for it. The Septagon is the 7th Column and Community Forum, its made for these threads. What you are trying to do is reducing the Septagon to basically one thread. I think we should just stick with The Feedback Thread, nothing is permanent. Half of the Ideas and Bugs you archive in this thread will be old and fixed in a few months anyways. Not trying to put your thread down, it was a great idea, but I dont think it is as usefull as intended.

Ah thankyou for this. The refresh problem could be right there.

I don't think it's just being slow posting the news. I couldn't post it at all. The "Your news has been submitted" page didn't even show up when I clicked submit. I posted the news item yesterday and it hasn't (and won't I expect) shown up yet.
