Next Update

[Nodd]

Howdy,

I just thought I'd list a few bits and bobs I plan to do for this site, so you can put forward any feedback or suggestions for extra things you'd like or think would be helpful/useful.



Forum Stuff

1. Update the Forum Template
I feel it could do with a little bit of tidying up. It needs a little bit of an upgrade with something to make it feel a little bit different than the other several billion generic forums out there. I aim to have it look fairly similar in colour scheme, just a bit sexier. If any of you feel like forwarding ideas, templates, or designs, then feel free. I'm open to new concepts

2. NSFW Tags
Like the YouTube button for posts, I thought it would be cool to implement a NSFW button, which replaces a link (website or image) with a graphic. For those who don't know what NSFW is, it means "Not Suitable For Work". It will be a good way to allow you to view this site anywhere without fear of something rude popping up infront of your boss or teacher.

3. RSS Feed Display
I thought a little box, or information link would be good that updates automatically displaying the latest (or top 5 latest) links to the current articles on the main site. This will help prevent you missing anything new on the blog site!

4. Reduce Google Ads
I think I will reduce the Ads under the forum navigation ("home", "help", "arcade" etc).




Website Stuff

1. Update Template
Like with the forum, I feel I need to make the website look a bit more appealing. It just needs to look a bit cleaner and professional.

2. MySpace/Profile Tags
In order to help get word around of this site and forum, I will be adding a promotion section with a selection of graphic buttons and images you can easily add to your myspace profiles and websites/blogs etc. They will basically say something like "proud member of noddegamra" with the logo on it and stuff. There will be copy&paste code to make it really easy to add almost anywhere.

3. More Unique Content
This might be harder to do regularily, but I think I need to add more unique stuff to the main site. More articles, images, flash movies made by me (or yourselves) rather than images and youtube videios put online by other people. This will give more of a reason for people to visit here.




Miscellaneous

1. More Advertising
I really need to push this site. Get word of mouth out there and recognition of the logo. I will have to try and get a couple of banner ads on some sites which will bring us targeted traffic. Members who will come and stay. If you have any ideas of where might be good to start, please share them with me




Please post any ideas, feedback, or share any useful information you may have. Thanks

If someone can make a new Noddegramra banner that lets us advertise on other pages, it would be nice.

Also, about the NSFW thing: If you can make a similar one, just with "SPOILER"?

F.example in the heroes thread, someone marks text with

(click to show/hide)

 and

, and you have to click the spoiler button to view the text.

The spoiler things sounds kool. I will try to add that aswel. Thanks for the suggestion

Yeah I've seen that function in action somewhere else before.
Thought it would be a cool idea.

yes, this forum certainly needs a beef injection! It's been a bit quiet recently. Damn Christmas! lol

[IronBat]

I also noticed that the style of quotes has changed? Is this part of the updateing your doing?

[Nodd]

I'm just trying a few things. I think I will change the quoting.. it still doesn't look quite right.

Also, the banner changed 


loads to do though.. lol

I think we need a way of linking to other messages on the forum. This would work well with the pretty urls, you could just have [noddegamra] [/noddegamra] tags, to create links to different threads.

Spoiler tags get my vote too. Good example here: http://new.bigbluecup.com/forumfaq.shtml#hidespoilers

hmm..

He was actually around briefly once before, unless I am mistaken.

Nodds spent a lot of time and effort developing noddegamra over the years, and this leastest version seems bloody excellent, lets give him a cheer!

Ummm how do you cheer in text form? Here goes...

YAAAAAAAAHAAAAHRARAGAGA!

That came out a bit piratey  . I shall try again

FOR THE BOARD!

Too geeky? Humm how about:

YAY!

I give up

[Nodd]
