would like to have some filters also, would like a way to disable/enable link submissions, comments on links and forums, etc.

What's your display's color depth set to?

Definitely considering a smart way to squelch shouts and non-shouts in xraybox.

@mundhra, No Summary thing should be fixed. Was an incongruity between HTML markup handling on old data in new system, only affecting old things being edited in the new system. (This is the kind of exciting dreck I have to deal with.) Shouldn't be seeing this in future.

@grapeape, try quoting colors now. I've been using this
to test with.

When I hit the quote link, the quote doesn't show in the type box where I put the message at...?

I quoted your post here

@GrapeApe

I quoted your post here

> Yo meep. You suck at teh quotezz

@vasudeva Where's the Alpha Queue RSS? Can you message it to me?

# BIG IDEA

Give Alpha's the opportunity to downvote members! Enough downvotes and their email address is temp-banned. In the situation that somebody is an obvious spammer, there could be a delete meepon (just like alpha votes for links).

BIG IDEA 2!!

How about voting in the X-Ray box. It would link to a journal, or something like it. Sample:

DeJeR Poll Hey guys, how about a poll option for the X-Ray box? Yes No Results

@meepbox

I need (want) my clipswarm back. : (

Actually, I've just checked in the old engine, and you had 58 items, and you have 58 now. Next time you're in IRC I'll dump out lists for you to peruse.

Interesting idea. I'd be afraid it'd be a lot of work and not get used much, though. But keep thinking this meep up, cause new ideas are cool.

@DeJeR

Good catch. I've made this and Firefox should be showing it to you in the toolbar. Let me know how it works for you. It'll only show incoming links by people with a certain amount of rads, to avoid having spam show up in it.

@vasudeva Where's the Alpha Queue RSS? Can you message it to me?

@vasudeva

I think a "cancel" meepon next to the post meepon would be awesome, or maybe an X in the upper right hand to make the comment box dissapear/cancel the comment?

@meepbox

Why not... just don't hit post if you don't want to post?

Also, cancel meepons on text boxes have a way of being clicked at the wrong meeping time.

+1 for the bottom page quotes

@vasudeva

I see 10 links displayed thusly.

Ahhh, I see. Your ClipSwarm's intact; that interface only shows you the most recent 10. You'll notice a couple other spots around the profile page like this, because I've left the page-through-history code as an exercise to my future post-deploy self.

@vasudeva - Looks like beheading doesn't show up when somebody owns a link. For example: I beheaded Dismas (no idea who this schmuck is), but his avatar has not changed on the actual Link

It'd be nice if the .:UPLOADS:. header was also a link to the uploads page.

Sticky the notifications until you clear them. I log on, I see a slew of notices and after I click on the first one, all of them go away.

^ They stay until they I clear them.

You can find them in your messages, under the Notifications tab.

@Heather

Yeah I know but that's quite a lot of clicks. I'm thinking of the notification meepon like facebook? Always there for easy access, like wotak's meep.

@vasudeva

The notifications do stay in your "Messages" tab, what I meant is the purply popups. I'll screen shot it if I still haven't managed to explain sufficiently.

@ghostrider

^ They stay until they I clear them.

Yeah, they stay for me. Mebbe it's because I backspace after viewing each one.

I understand what you're talking about. You want the notification divs to pop up endlessly, pageload after pageload, until explicitly dealt with. This would be nice, but it'd also require a fair bit of surgery, and then I'd have to deal with the people who wanted the opposite behavior.

Here's the most elegant solution to keeping up with a slew of notices: click the first, enjoy, hit Backspace, click the second, repeat.

@ghostrider

can we get an option to use the old editor?

Short answer: meep no.

@Mofo

can we get an option to use the old editor?

short answer meep you

@Wotak

Short answer: meep no. @Mofo

Last answer: get in line, woman.

@Mofo

short answer meep you @Wotak

Ok, thanks for the workaround.

Without the reacharound.

Hey Broseph...What do you think about making a weird little change to maybe the non home pages...like at least journals and forums... maybe even the links...dunno...

So remember the old right side boxes how as people added to them they would rise? What if the home page was as it is, but the separate pages had links rise as peeps commented in them...

So main view new to old...

Other views, active at the top? That probably wouldn't work awesome for links... dunno...
-------------

Or... and I probably shouldn't make this suggestion... but what if instead of

Home, #1 Links, #2 Forums, #3 Journals

You had one page with 3 little boxes you could check and uncheck as you please. That would let you see all 3 or #1 and #3, Or just #2, Etc...

Less overall clicking around...keep peeps in one spot but let them open and close certain bits at will... Dunno... maybe thats a 3.0 or a dumb idea...

OK, I've signed us up for UserVoice and entered the most compelling-seeming ideas from this thread there.

This is a really handy way for me, when I have time to make a change, or start thinking about a feature mod, to find out which of these things are most likely to make you (the general, teeming 'you') happiest.

You don't need to be logged into vote. Feel free to enter as many of your own ideas as you like, and vote the meep out of everything you'd really like to see.

Going by uservoice, footer quotes and xraybox filtering are the top contenders. I've got traction on the xraybox thing, and it has direct useability impact, so I'm on that next.

Mstrlance has inspired the following idea for a UI:

(x) Shouts (x) Updates [More Xrays]

which is nice and minimal and not ugly. The way I'm thinking of attacking this, we could actually get finer-grained in the filtering options, if we can come up with a feasible UI for it. That is, I don't believe we have room for...

(x) Shouts (x) Links (x) Forums (x) Journals (x) Comments (x) New Links (x) ClipSwarms (x) Achievements [More Xrays]

After a bit of meeping around, I think we will have room for...

(x) Shouts (x) Things (x) Comments (x) New Links [More Xrays]

and possibly an (x) Other comprising ClipSwarms and Achievements, so this is my new thrust unless someone has something more intelligent.

footer quotes and xraybox filtering are the top contenders.

I think you're forgetting something

You know what to do, son..

@Mofo

I liked the old search forums function when you were on the forum page, although I realize the new search is inclusive, searching by username was cool. I would like to see the function where you could see what was being searched for. I realize I am the only one who prolly enjoyed that, so it's no real issue.
