  • An idea...

    I posted this in another thread and I was directed to here. I'm playing multiple multiplayer games (SMAC/SMAX) and what takes the most time (at least at this early stage) is posting to the boards. Two suggestions..

    1) Is it possible (or can it be made possible) to email to a thread so you can do it all offline and send it when you connect

    2) Reduce the 45 second waiting between posts. I find if I upload a number of turns I have to wait for this restriction to clear.

    Just a few ideas....

      The e-mail thing idea is cool.

      But an e-mail parser and submitter would have to be programmed.

      Can MarkG and DanQ handle it?

        suggestion: turn off e-mail notification but subscribe to the threads of the games you participate. then bookmakr the first page of the control panel, which can show you a list of the threads you are interested for

        interesting but a lot of work to be done

        2) Reduce the 45 second waiting between posts. I find if I upload a number of turns I have to wait for this restriction to clear.

          Thanks Mark for reducing the wait time and for your suggestion for making posting quicker. I realise that the email thing will involve much work but is there any chance of it happening?
