so tekheads linkage is here to stay.

how about taking it one step further?
so im browsing a product. like it. i can like it on FB. bad audience though, my mates aren't necessarily geeks.
a button to like it on tekforums would be nice. that button would create a new thread (facebook connect would be nice too) and post my thoughts into it, which would be a great way to start discussion about some new producs on tekheads site.

Shofty that's exactly the kind of forward/creative thinking we need to push things forward

I'm not sure how easy something like that would be to impliment but its a pretty good idea, whether we have it come from Tekheads or a frontend of our choosing.

Nice find Bacon

I'm not going to install any other mods that affect the templates until we've got the blue theme in place, as it will only mean having to go back and manually update it all.

Fantastic idea - if thats workable that would be superb. Loads of times I've eyed up some hardware and had a few thoughts / questions but never bothered to post or google them.

That would probably generate loads of traffic

i could do it in the django based cms's i work with, so im convinced its doable. but i can only code in that flavour, im not as good a dev as sam.

i do think it'd be nice n fresh, i dont spend a vast amount of time on other sites, but im not sure anyone else has it...

Lot of nice ideas !!! amazing how some new software can get things going !!!

- Is it possible to have a button like the old one to show most recent threads, it has unread and most recent posts, but neither are the same as the old layout, and I prefer it!

Would this give you satisfaction sir, I say, sir?

Awesomeness! I would indeed be satisfied, I'm starting to get used to the unread topics now, but sometimes it's handy to see the recent ones I have read, as I spend most of my time in that view

No blue please (:

Also can you put in some code to change backwards smilies to the right way round?

Edit: actually with smiley substitution on you could prob add backwards ones in to the img list?

Clock'd 0Ne · January 13, 2011, 19:16:15 PM

I'm compiling a list of old smilies that don't work to add in the codes for them again

It has not been that people have had not had ideas. It's been you could do nothing onthe old forums and the only person that had access that could has a life and would have to hand code even th basics to get even small stuff going.

Are we still going to implement a chatbox of some type, I remember we discussed it a while back but never really got definitive yes or no?

I'm in two minds as to whether I think this is a good idea. On the one hand it might improve communications and create activity, on the other people might 'chat' things they'd otherwise post and we might end up with less in the threads...

Not sure which way that would go?
