  • Obstructed View on WordPress Wish List

    I know several people have already mentioned things they’d like added to the site. We’ll try to add some of those features. Some of them we may not be able to add. Some of them we may not like and not want to implement. Others may be too resource intensive. We’d like to know what you would like added. It seemed that posting things in the comments would eventually be lost or forgotten so this thread is specifically for that.

      I agree. Also, cats.

      But if I’m being serious, I like that the pages and comments load much faster now. Maybe you should write a post about posts and throw it in a FAQ page.

      @ Suburban kid:
      I looked into that this morning. It seems the solutions I found during my brief look were written in javascript. I really don’t want to add any more javascript to the site. I’ll keep looking though.

      WP comments load a lot faster than the ones on your old platform. Possibly because it’s not Java-heavy?

      I would like to have faget points.

      As Urk mentioned earlier, it allows people with little else to say to make a contribution.

      I’m not sure why this post isn’t show up on the rss feed. I noticed that too. I’ll look into it.

      I plan to look into a plus/minus type thing for the comments.

      This is more of a bug but I figure this is a good place for it. It appears I get logged out of my profile every time I exit out of Safari on my iPad.

      Previously I asked for this:

      When the page loads up, we hear one of JoePa’s greatest motivational speeches with angel’s humming in the background, until the “Joe Paterno Speaks” unobstructed view is knocked off the front page.

      But now I that I think about it, we should ALSO have Joe with his winds flying back and forth between the trophy and the post. He can be spreading angel dust all over the crowd. That’ll make everyone very happy and they’ll think the Cubs’ll be good this year. Surely you can make an animated gif that does that, right?

      But only until “Joe Paterno Speaks” comes off the front page list of Unobstructed Views. If people don’t like it, they can think of something smart to say and post it to UV.

      Joe was going to be a member of the 1964 College of Coaches, but Bob Kennedy screwed that plan up with a winning season in 1963, so all this seems appropriate.

      Have you tried this for ratings? It seems to look okay and have good ratings. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rating-widget/ [img]http://s.wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rating-widget/screenshot-6.png?r=497439[/img] Nevermind, dude wants $8 a month for it. That's rediculous. Also, everytime I click "edit" I get a "stack overflow error at line 3"

      It appears the stack overflow error problem may have to do with IE. Is that what you’re using?

      With the old system you were able to highlight your type and press CTRL B to bold or CTRL I to italicize. Is there a way to implement that?

      @ WaLi:
      Interesting. I didn’t even know you could do that on the old one. I’ll look into it, but I’d be surprised. I wish I knew that though because it would have made things easier. (dying laughing)
