ChiefsPlanet Any board changes soon? - Page 4

wutamess · 01-02-2015, 05:16 PM

I was thinking... I only come here once every 2-4 months and when I do it's the same old board. By that, I mean no disrespect but isn't there something to make the board more "user friendly" or updated?

Like real time post updates on posts instead of having to hit refresh. Facebook "like or dislike" buttons to go along with the rep system?

I found myself wanting to like a post of someone's but I then remember the rep system I'd have to go through a couple of clicks and no one else can see my rep for that user. More times than not, I just don't do the rep because of that reason.

These are just my mudslinging thoughts and wanted to know if there were any upgrades coming?

Please understand I'm just offering suggestions instead of slinging mud.

The google search works fine to find a thread, but sometimes I am looking for a specific post and it won't work for that.

Are you talking about the mobile version of CP maybe?

Nope, just the regular site.

A cattle trader and a weird soils guy. I didn't even care for either of them, but their left field ideas brought good conversation out of people who only speak up when someone is full of shit or rings a bell that's worth discussing.

All those picture attempts are hilariously annoying. I realize there's a pile of computer illiterate people on there, but even I have trouble posting pics on there sometimes. If the posters and info would sustain a migration the whole forum needs taken out behind the wood shed.

I want the free version.

Heh. Guess I've missed out. I haven't been on there much.

The thing that kills me is you can't format it to the newest responses on top. So the good threads are buried under the corn pic fails.

Mic Jones...where have you been, man? I haven't seen you and your Lawrence Fishburn avatar in forever.

I hear you. It's mind boggling dumb.

So in short, I wouldn't hold your breath.

Well, it's not going to upgrade itself...

Even if you get volunteers to split the workload up, you would still have to grant everyone that worked on it, access to the Server. More cooks in the kitchen, more chance to screw something up.

I see the ads at the bottom of the screen. Austin is pulling TIME WARNER money. He's pulling MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL money. Tell him to loosen the purse strings.

It's not about money. Bandwidth and the Server cost money. Add on's and upgrades are free except for the labor part.
