Season 2014 - Site suggestions

[zyzzyva980]

Are you experiencing any specific problems? We can fix the problem more efficiently if you tell us exactly what the problem is.

Never mind. I fixed it myself. By the way, could u update the autoquiz to include more than entomology and rocks and minerals?

Also, remember groups? It would be nice if non-admins/moderators could create groups (maybe with permission of an admin/moderator?) Our team is new to the site and it would be nice if we could create a group just for our team.

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask but.... my inbox is full and I have received some new messages. However, I do not know how to release my messages in order to put them in the correct folder. Help would be greatly appreciated.

You can create a new folder under the Rules, Folders and Settings tab on the left of the menu for Private Messages. You can then choose messages in your inbox by marking them (checkbox to the right) and at the bottom of the page either delete them or move to the folder you've created. Once you've made room in your inbox, there should then be a button to receive the new messages, or you may get them automatically, I'm not sure which.

Are there currently notifications for when people quote/reply to you? If not, it would help keep discussions going if we were notified everytime our user was mentioned or our comment was quoted. I usually don't notice replies until a few weeks later.

There is a way to get notified by replies:
User Control Panel to Board Preferences to Edit Posting Defaults, enable "Notify me upon replies by default:"

There is a better system in an upcoming board update, however we will have to wait till it is a stable release in order to implement it. So its on its way.

How about, using a similar format to the polls, a online multiple choice test(s) that will grade as you go along and will pick from a random assortment of questions that were moderator-approved user questions. Unlike the ones on the test exchange, no printing is necissary, results are given instantaneously, and the questions are ever changing due to new submittions being added daily by users. Also, I would want to, count question marathon posts towards your post total.

That is a good idea, there may be things in the works that could allow that to happen.
