To-Do List

[Dark0ne]

No particular order. Done as and when I feel like it/I have the time.

 

General

• Upgrade forums to IPB 2.2
  
• Revamp tutorials/walkthroughs section of site
  
• Update Spore Source with all the new functionality and security fixes implemented since the site's last update
  
• Proper bug report/help desk system: supporters gaining higher priority for personal issues
  
• Report a member feature with admin backend for quickview of member posts, file ratings, kudos points given, etc.
  
• Update content available on main TESS site
  
• Link to terms of posting on the comment pop-up so users know flaming/trolling file threads will get them banned
  
• Ability to edit comments posted on files and images without having to go through the forums (pop-up window)
  
• Create RSS feeds for news on the site
  
• Create a central repository of news from all major ES news sources based on their RSS feeds
  

File Database

• Allow authors to set a file to "hidden", only allowing access to the file page to themselves for testing purposes.
  
• Allow authors to disallow comments and/or ratings from being enabled on the file entry...but ONLY when the file is initially uploaded (cannot turn comments/ratings off once the file is uploaded to stop authors having tissies about bad public reactions, etc.)
  
• Allow authors to choose how they would like to be contacted, if at all, regarding their file(s)
  
• Downloads open in a pop-up window similar to file comments pop-up window, instead of going to the blank dl page
  
• Revamp of file ratings
  
• Tagging system for files
  
• Re-assess "file of the month" functionality
  
• New section for user written reviews of mods. Admin approval required before being published on the site.
  
• New file database field: file language(s). The languages the file supports/uses
  
• Change log system for new file entries. Monitor exactly what the author has changed (i.e. description, new upload, file deleted, etc.) each time the user updates
  
• Allow multiple users to edit a single file entry; set by the primary author of the file
  
• Write script to check for "null" or 0kb entries in the file database
  
• Report broken downloads system
  

Image Share

• Top images listing
  
• Update member profiles to show the number of images uploaded to the image share system
  
• Allow authors to edit their image descriptions and captions
  

Supporters

• Change supporter tracking feature to email the user when an author uploads a new file to a new or existing entry
  
• New Supporter feature: daily/weekly email containing the latest files uploaded to the site in user selected categories

That one is much appreciated. The n00b in my always makes me think I presses something wrong until I see Firefox bring up the Download options.

I look forward to seeing these come about! I particularly like seeing the number of uploaded images on profiles!

I see you changed the forum layout already. Looks nice! It'll take a while to get used to the letter font though.

Sounds like a good list. ^^ Best of luck with all that.

Could you make it so that posted links are underlined again? They are easy to miss right now.
