Satellite Suggestions

Re: Satellite Suggestions THIS IS UPDATED

Not meant ina bad way or against present mods.
Just that he has always had a good following and is very good contributor.
He creates images etc as well, not just copy and paste like the rest of us lol
 
Re: Satellite Suggestions THIS IS UPDATED

ive lost the passion that i once had, sometimes ill sit down and start something new, sometimes ill even finish it. with the winter coming ill maybe try and get back into it, but im quite happy to no longer have to worry what i say for fear of 'abusing my position to say whatever i want', now, ill still say what i want, and people cant say 'you only get away with it cos youre a mod' lol. i say things as i see them, which upsets some people, but, if people get upset that easily, then the big bad internet aint the place for them ;)

instead of spending whole weekends with my head in multiscreens of code, i now spend my free ones watching weather forecasts and wind patterns, taking a little time for my new hobby, which also now takes up ALL of my free cash

the mods have been chosen as theyve stood out in the sections they mod in, and to keep everyone happy is a hard (impossible) task, which was one of the reasons i decided modding wasnt for me any more, but, ill still do what ive always done (start projects that sometimes get finished, annoy people, post useless crap, blame rat when things break, etc, etc), just not as much as i used to

the mods (and the admin sometimes ;p) all do a brill job

you can do this easily, when youre adding a file to the thread, edit the 'Title:' area, that way the existing title is in place, and the new one, and both files, users can then google the filename, or the full file name including version, and end up on the same thread

copy and paste the title at the top of this post into google, and youll see this thread on page one, and in a while, this thread will be number 1 on page 1 using the same search terms

You can't do that in the downloads section though :)

Which I think we are talking about :)

is it an automatic thing that when people add something to the downloads the 'a new download' thread is created. ive seen loads of them which then link to the download section, people could reply to that thread with a new version attached and edit the 'Thread: Re:' bit, or would it then not be added to the downloads, but instead only attached to the thread, which is linked from the download section

im confused now lol

Yes your right :D
 
Re: Satellite Suggestions THIS IS UPDATED

Yes the thread is updated and says this file has been updated when you edit a download... it is all automatic :)

However the original Download title does not change, the thread does... which is great but the original download TITLE does not.

And changing that is bad ;), the file won't exist anymore in google (from the downloads section).

Threads is a piece of cake as you said, but downloads... needs someone to post this has been updated or someone edit the download and just put.

THERE IS A NEW VERSION OF THIS FILE AVAILABLE


Sorry if this is confusing lol

However the forums would be quite tricky and would need the help of @snapman and the graphic GURUS to match the icons we already use View attachment 75830 compatible

But we will have a go, and if it can make browsing DW a better experience, that would be great.

Thank you very much for your suggestion.

@Mick not sure what's required, or the file type needed (don't know how to convert to .ipk for these icons at the moment tbh), but is it something like this we need?

I like them @snapman, I think that @Abu Baniaz wanted something a little more room specific though maybe he can be more specific ;)

@Mick I hope I've caught all the boxes in this .zip file. If there's still some missing I'll find and update this.

Once you've set up a dark skin I'll also remake them to suit it :)

snapman
