Season 2015 - Site Suggestions

[robotman]

The 2014 Season has passed, so it is time to start thinking of the coming year.

Is there something you would like to see done differently?

Maybe different organization?

Improvements to the Image Gallery or Wiki?

Or even new features?

Any other things?

Remember to read last years thread.

I think the image gallery needs more picture. Think you could fix that?

Implement a feature for "liking" posts? Also, a lot of the links in the wiki to pictures in the picture gallery are broken... like 90% of the time i find that the picture no longer exists... did you guys change the address of the image gallery before? Thanks!

Actually yes, the image gallery moved when the new theme was installed, but the links should still work (you know, internet sorcery), we'll look into that. Thanks.

If you're finding these links inside older forum posts or linked elsewhere on the Internet before November 2013, then no, the pictures/wiki pages will no longer be there. If it is a link within new posts and wiki pages that don't work anymore, we'll look into it.

I posted this in the "Best of Nationals 2014" thread, but I guess that wasn't the right place to post.

Just a suggestion- maybe you guys could increase the visibility of the page by linking "Category: Best of Nationals" somewhere on the front page, Test Exchange, and/or Image Gallery.

I only stumbled upon the page after randomly wandering scioly.org. I know the page exists, but I can't find it anywhere through the site. The only way I find it again is by googling "Best of Nationals scioly" and the first result that always shows up is Best of Nats 2011. So say I want to look at Best of Nationals 2010, I would have to first click "Best of Nationals 2011", scroll down to the Category page, and then click Best of Nationals 2010.

I'm just saying the pages aren't easy to find and access, so I don't think too many people know about this.

And maybe you guys could create a "Best of Regionals" or "Best of States" page or something. Rather than just have a page for Nationals, you could create separate pages for lower-level competitions so the website will get fresh content and be periodically updated. For study events, you could have people input the test questions they remember, and for building events, you could have people upload pictures and their results.

As studier, I always remember quite a few questions after tournaments. There would always be a couple questions where we spent minutes deliberating between two choices, and they would just be ingrained in my mind.

Particularly for "Best of States," I'm sure there are lots of teams that do well in particular events but their team doesn't qualify for nationals. If the event is rotating out or they're feeling generous, their advice and uploads would help those with later State tournaments, National competitors, or just be helpful when the event rotates in again.

It is on the first page. Best of Past Nationals...

OH I see it on the Wiki page.

I don't usually check the Wiki page I usually go on the forums and test exchange.

new site theme every month maybe? (to be honest the blue is getting kinda boring)

You wanna code the new ones every month? Cause that'd be great. There's a lot of custom stuff we have to do to make the theme work
