CivGroups suggestion

[Mercator]

My thoughts exactly on all your points (in this thread) Asher.

How did we go from civgroups to win <----> linux ?

(again )

[Asher]

Do you have to ask?

If he wants to get [+1] he does, yes.

It wouldn't kill me if you didn't do it, Mark. I don't belong to any CivGroups and don't think I ever will, I'm just giving input on something incase you care about improving your site.

would it kill you to give input without being "smart" about it?

The CivGroups column on a CivGroup member listing is broken, all it shows is the current CivGroup icon you're viewing for all the people, it doesn't show other groups they're in.

not a bug, a feature, in replacement of not showing the name of the cigroup in a big title(which would need a bit more time/work )

Would it be possible to set the ALT text on the civgroup image icons so we can see what, exactly, the group is when we put the mouse over it?

added in my civgroups to-do list

now if anyone has any other civgroups suggestions(and yes, all the ptwdg related stuff are still veyr high on my list), i'll leave this thread open.....

Thanks.

Glad you haven't forgotten us. Actually the edit post bug is quite nice. It's helpful for each minister to edit a single post, rather than spreading the instructions out over one thread.

Is there any chance we can keep the ability to edit everybody's posts in the private demogame forums? Since all members are there with the leader's approval and can be kicked if they misbehave I think we can police this feature ourselves.

The ability to attach images is really getting kinda important now, though.

that is very good news

(no need to take the editing 'feature' though, it's kinda handy when not misused, hasn't happened so far)

that's really up to you, as this is affecting only the dg private forums

feel free to make a poll about it....

[FrustratedPoet]

Done.

NO, set the TITLE text. That way it will work in Opera/Mozilla and not in MSIE.

You mean like:
"The ehhhh uhh yeah well it's not working right, fix it"?

ALT has been around longer than TITLE, Mozilla and Opera can suck it...

There are lots of things in Windows I wish I could change too, but it's still better than Linux.

Oh...absolutely. I don't really even judge the two together. I just look at Windows independently versus what it could be.

Maybe GP should change his title to Troll?

I can see now what Markos meant...

ACUALLY, I like those littel "stupid" designs.

The ALT thing is definately a good idea.
I can usually desifer a civgroup with letters like ACPBEM, but the shield ones, like that for nationstates, I think a very cool (especially mine! ). It gives an air of "secret society" exclusivness where we, the decieved, can continue to decieve ourselves with our importance!

And a bunch of funky colored thingies together looks like a rack of medals on a military uniform of a well seasoned general. But ofcourse my imagination is on crack. Big fat bags of crack.
