Ideas and suggestions for vpsBoard
- Thread starter MannDude
- Start date
I joined after the LET hack. I am just a lurker, but I might get more involved around here. It seems to be a nicer place to be so far.
Already isJust make it friendlier than LET and I'm here!
Glad to have you here! I'd say this place is much more civil, though still lacks the same level of activity as LET. Feel free to contribute to the growth around here by posting, asking, and helping where appropriate!

LET activity has dropped since the true ownership went public and it is still dropping.
Sure there are many members but it is not as active as it has been.
Count the number of offers that has been posted lately, not the same amount as ut used to be.
There has to be some changes to change the path, I don't know whats needed to be done but something must change to give it a chance.
Hmm, didn't notice any slow downs or post/reply lag today, so I guess it is good now. Thanks btw!

This. Especially on mobile I end up scrolling a lot..
edit: I see the "View New Content" link is already in the footer
, I missed that.How about mobile detection for Windows Phone? At the moment I switch themes manually, which is not the most convenient since ipboard saves theme choice as a user preference resulting in me using the mobile theme on the desktop also most of the time.

Suggestion/question regarding the posting offer "template":
Lately there has been some posting about people "hiding" that they have service with CC and I have a question or really a proposal that all offers should include city and state (or country if outside the US).
This makes it easier for people like me who are not from the US or not as good at the american geography.
No need to put the location in the title but it should be included inside the post.
And another thing, please include the virtualization in the post. I've read some offers where I'm uncertain of what is actually offered.

Good idea. We've been a little lax on these posts because the forums have 'Guidelines', and not rules. I'm going to re-write these and relabel them as 'rules' (Guidelines sounds optional) and we're going to be stricter in enforcing the offers rules.
I'd like to see Markdown as well, **IF** the annoying line break thing could be fixed. Being able to use <img> tags was handy, since the photo button isn't present on mobile phones.
I'm not seeing any plugins for markdown for IPB. I could, however, allow a limited set of HTML to be used?
Already exists. Check out the footer.

We already have rules and regulations on how to post an offer for dedicated/vps/shared hosting.
Now I'm requesting an update to the domain auction rules.
An action should either take place here or somewhere else, so called "mirror" auctions should not be allowed so that it's clear who the winnner is.
With this rule it should require the seller to post the auction here only the information about what domain(s) that are on auction, ending time and where the bidding will take place.

We removed it temporarily to help troubleshoot a few things.

How temporarily?

It was a plugin really. We got rid of it to help troubleshoot a few issues and tthings we're trying to work out. I don't know when it'll return though.
