Just a suggestion, I have saw forums which has this kinda forums. Allows a user to post their current practising routine, their current progress, etc, etc. A dedicated thread for them to keep pace...

Well, abit of hype or lameness, but could help to motivate themselves or others to help.
 
thanks for the suggestion, can you post a link to the abovementioned forum?
 
Lemme search for it again... 8)

Edited: The ones I have seen are juz plain opening a forum and then users posting with their own title... I know there's a hack for it...

Lemme search for the hack...
 
After my hectic FYP submission, I will try to see whether is there any hack which is really suitable for wat I am saying...

:lol:
 
xspace, thanks for your suggestion! do you think that since we have the Intro forum, we can make use of that?
 
Okie, me is taking a break from Proj...

On a quick thought, the merging could be done and I think it's kinda good. Even the OM could be merged into it.

But the title of the forum needs a change(?), else it would be perceive more like a Newbie Intro forum. Perception walkthru - imagine you view a person's profile/thread in the *NEW* forum:-

In any pages of the post:

There is always the intro/excerpt that the person wrote, right on top of the post.

The rest of the postings would be his progress.

Creation would be depicted as follow:-

I was hoping to find such a hack... (hopefully), instead of typing everything unstructurally, leading to frustrations.. :p

1. There is button in the creation of post
2. This button would activate a pop-up window (form-based)
3. With specific field (fictionous from me) inputs like Title, Contents, Genre, Hours Of Practice, Progress, etc (which needs to be give some thoughts)
4. User keys in, submits
5. Either this would be transverse into the Posting Textarea, or automatically submits the window and transits like a normal posting...
6. All the information would be presented in like a normal post but formatted properly...

I kinda suggested this because I moderate a Job Website... It's somehow difficult to get people to post job listings / resume excerpts in the format you want, which really leads to a hard time in reading and digesting...

p/s: Doesnt really seems like a quick thought though... :oops: Not too sure whether this kinda hack exists (though I ve seen similar kinds though), or whether is it feasible, or whether is it more of an hassle? Lastly, whether users would commit to, and loves it?

:wink:

hmmmm i think we shld start a section in soft to put up singapore bands profile , genre and contact and status detail of bands in soft so gig organisers can approach them easier ... and if they want put up details as how much they will charge to be booked for gigs

James, as the quote.. It could be the hack which I told you...

I understand that there is a band listing currently (not too sure whether does it falls under your site specific planning, you know what I mean) but having separated modules at times, especially in such kinda O/S BBS as compared to stronger commercial BBS like VBB, could actually weaken the navigation...

Again, these are all my thoughts. Even if it isnt adopted, it could be a future recommendation, should you intend to revamp Soft...

I love to dabble with BBS, CMS, forums and give personal recommendations and suggestions. And having some simple database mgmt knowledge, these band listing could appear anywhere in Soft in the format you want. Could be useful when one day Soft becomes the champion forum for all SG musicians (not only bands)...

Emphasizing again, at the end of the day, it is the owner's business/site plan, and users' acceptability and commitment to make it successful. I may sound abit far... Cos I usually like to dream... keke 8)

OT: What is the beer that you are drinking in your avatar? Looks draught, and freshly brewed... :lol:
 
Right... Two days back, I have finally submitted my FYP... Free man... like Tim Robbins in Shawshank Redemption!!

Are you still interested in this suggestion ? 8)
 
Still can't find... :(

There's a VBB hack which is something similar to what I tot of... I wonder is it customized or an open hack... Wait for my answer... :?
