Guest Pswede Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Wouldn't it be nice? It would definitly be more serious, no unserious reviews etc.. Users have to login etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pswede Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Sorry for the double post. (in a community i would be able to delete one of the posts ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Protex midget Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I love this forum. But i can't stand the thought of having to login every single time I enter.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [tom jaimz] Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Well, for a start you'd only need to log in if you were going to contribute somehow, but also, most browsers can be set to automatically log you in.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Elysium Project Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 If the login programming is done correctly you do not need to login everytime you enter the site. Your browser (Explorer 4+) will remember your login details and do it for you automatically everytime you want to login. All you need to do the first time you sign up is to say yes to automatically login! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [tom jaimz] Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Bingo EP. Also if the backend is done properly there can be an option to set the cookie that keeps your login information never to expire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Protex Midget Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Well, if the login process is automatic, then i think it's a good idea... it would bring together the community. Â BTW> if we login as users, then would we still have to write are nicknames every time we post something, or would the nick' appear automaticlly?

Guest [tom jaimz] Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Your nick would appear automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Hey guys, it is being coded ! it will come with psynews v2 of the site. some cookies will identify you when you logon. then reviews will get better (at least in the begining) as for the forum, we dont feel like forcing people to register  this psynews v2 does exist. its a very big website, lightyears ahead from this one in terms of functionnality.  lets be precise : - the news - who we are / faq / what is goa - reviews - incoming - interviews - links - forum (of course) - contest => are ready for beta release (!)  - parties => is the seciton i'm hardly coding these days  - artists infos (lots of improvements are planned) - favourites - shops (big cut'n'paste of the links section) => are still to be done  -search => is no more necessary, but it will reappear as a global site search engine (not 4 poor scripts)  - guestbook => will rest in peace...   When this is done, we have an alpha version  And then there are a few other functionnalities left to code And i have to code a better admin section And i have a huge post-prod list of things to add and fix (ideas we had during the development, little bugs, etc....) And i have to buid a complete site+database backup system And i have to write scripts to store static data (mainly text of reviews, probably 20000) on the database And we have to clean everything up and migrate in one night (!!!!!) And then we'll launch psynews2 beta.  Then you'll have a new forum dedicated to bugreports and functionnalities to add Then you'll have psynews2 Release Candidate  Then......eheheh the most impressive functionnality still remains to be seen. Then we'll have a true 2.0 version !!  When ?..hem let's say - March 20th for alpha - April 15th for beta - May 1st for final  then it will have taken 9 months to engineer and develop...i could have done better but i'm too lazy when i return from work.  mars.

mars Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 eheheh it will look....the same. imagine the same website, but 100% automatic, more functionnal...and there will be some surprises. actually it ill depend on you, to some extent.

Guest Valerio Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I can't wait too to see the new version ! Â Psynews.org rules ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest space^madness Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 login sucks and cookies swallows. please don't make me have to turn that bullshit on to get on site to write reviews/messages. ahh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chong Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Mars, there was talk at one stage of being able to search for a particular reviewer's comments in the Goa Reviews section; Eg, I could search for all of 'Syres' reviews. I think this would be great : will this function be on the new site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest electric!sheep Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Look, just use vBulletin. It runs one of the tightest online communities quite well: www.hardforum.com. Of course, with their load (30,000+ registered people, 500-700 users active at any moment) the mySQL back-end is barely making it, but with a small site like this, I can see no better choice. Sure beats hand-coding a forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mE 1 Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 I don't like the login idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bugbread Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Well, I love it. Log in once, and you're set, minimization of crappy reviews, etc. What could not be to like? Â As for the FAQ...well, since that seems ready to go, I guess I'll be abandoning my FAQ. Mars, if you need any assistance on FAQ updates, though, let me know.

mars Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 space^madness : its obvious that youre not among the ones who get angry to see so many crappy reviews. cookies are not so dangerous..thay only take a few bytes for each. Â Protex midget & me1 : same thing. my plan is to make you log in once and then it'll be as before. Â Chong : yes ! but its not ready now (its in the post-prod todo list) Â bugbread : i wrote you an email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest space^madness Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 you know how much info you can get into "a few bytes". and cookies can be "dangerous" in the sense it fetch info from you. control. wellwell, anyway, i doubt you'll rape the info from the cookies. then again, who knows? prrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrr prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrprrrrrrrrrr:] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 i'll store only enough for the site to know you're here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pswede Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 I really like the forum like the one they have on www.kvr-vst.com. You can even rate persons (good for knowing how they review stuff)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
