NEW DebateGate coming
« on: February 05, 2011, 05:19:36 PM »
What features would you like to see in the new DG?

I am thinking of a magazine style frontend with user contributed articles and a forum to discuss those and other topics.

A video and photo gallery is a possibility.


Is facebook and twitter compatibility important?

What else would you like.

How about a conference discussion group featuring live video,so we can see each other, and then have talks about certain hot topics. I would also like to see a DebateGate app for Droids & iphones.

Video conferencing is no problem. I'll look into the Droid apps, though RSS feeds should work.

love the "spell check" feature on the current forum

previews are nice

edit "without notice" for ten minutes would be nice

avatar is also nice on current forum
below avatar poster's optional location is nice I see on some forums

optional bio features that include as much or as little as member wants including pictures

the world has gone Facebook so a link to Facebook could drive more people here

the current forum is easy to read if there have been new posts to a particular thread

current forum allows for easy posting of YouTube videos

since I am color blind I like color charts that actually say
what the color options are instead of color with numbers

quote function is also good on current forum

thanks for trying to make forum better and taking suggestions

more ideas later..............

I miss some of the features of the original forum, like being able to post html (made posting pre-formated articles easy).

Discussion style forums like the original Yahoo! groups seem to have gone the way of the dinosaur. Most forums these days seem to be attached to blogs.

I'm not much into Facebook or Twitter, but I may be the last man on earth who isn't. Those might be worthwhile features.

BT....so far I am liking everything about the new format.
Looks clean, updated, new......
Thanks for the upgrade and all the behind the scenes work on this.
I notice some banner ads....will that help you cover the costs of all this? or do we need to donate?

BT,

Yes to Facebook and Twitter.

I'm also really enthusiastic about the idea of the ability to post HTML again! Will it be possible?

What are you referring to?

What are examples of what we can now post, but couldn't before?

In the old yahoo club days you could copy and paste an article and the images and links would be pasted with it. Now that doesn't happen. And to be honest i don't think we will make that happen.

One very minor thing I dont like is some button blocks part of my posting name.....
I know I have a super long posting name....

there's no way you could make the font of just my
name smaller so it would not be obstructed is there?

could I take out the word "united" in my name?
can one edit their own name?
or do you have to start over?
i really dont want to start over
