Random ToDo List

1. Random ToDo List

   #1

   In no particular Order: Many provided by manfred during his Italian Adventure
   Some of these aren't necessarily ToDo but might just be ideas I am tossing around. I have notes EVERYWHERE and sometimes I get more organized by throwing them up here.

   -Ability to see all your permissions/authorizations in your profile.
   -Better errors on subs that are visible then hidden by authors. Currently shows 404, should say "this is hidden" or something.
   -Each main category be a sort of stand alone homepage for that type
   --Top Authors for that type
   --Offer random sub in that type to get extra xp to comment on (like the front page but every page will have their own as well)
   ---add < 5 comment check to get the ones that have been neglected a little bit - maybe a "feel lucky" type button for neglected subs to send you direct
   --Highlight a random golden and/or Ho
   -Author approved comments. (author would upvote a comment on theirs and get some kind of identifier besides the 5xp)
   -Author can change comments to ideas and vice-versa (since it is their sub after all)
   -Linking unused titles/words will take you to a page to create them. (so if you like to [Boar of Old Helm] or something random not already a post it will go to a submission page instead of 404)
   -Donate xp 1x per day (for something awesome that you love, can donate as much xp as you have votes or something)
   -Email authors whose comments or submissions are flagged for being inappropriate and/or turned to In Work.
   -Text/HTML/Free area in profile (personal space to put whatever you want using html. Sort of like a 1-page website for you. Had it before, just needs to be put back in place)
   -Get the Quest form working perfectly
   -Get the Quest winner update form working
   -Make an article post out of "Presenting Ideas at the Citadel" forum thread
   -query in mcomment around line 900 is unneeded
   -Custom html error pages
   -Does search show subs that should be invisible?
   -Ability to do specific search on each main category when browsing that category (automatically check single box to "search this category")
   -Authorless subs turn into BH (in case of author deletion - although I think I turned that option off)
   -quill doesn't show up on graphics explanation page (?)
   -Write a Submission graphic needs an alt tag
   -pop-up category description on overmouse of that category?
   -Narrow freetext down to category? Like a tertiary type category?
   -msubmit line 578 - do a check to ensure it is a good link - check submission freetext
   -make email a separate function instead of hard coded
   -rewrite welcome message sent by forum
   -Citadel Code of Conduct on terms of membership page upon signing up for site? (currently disabled I believe)
   -Freetext Fridays - Formalize.
   -Random Encounter Wednesdays (?)
   -Get rid of negative vote ability on comments. Turn the + into a sort of "Like" thing like facebook and add to the action tracker
   -http://thrivingkings.com/badger/ is cool and clean. Use it
   -get "sponsorship" type submissions working with graphics for header and sidebar!
   -"Friends" to allow you to only follow subs and comments of those you select
   -Email to those that want to know when subs are updated
   -Fix emails and ensure they are working. Not sure I get new submission emails.
   -Make sure golden vote buttons are only viewable by those with the permissions
   -In Work and Advice Requested subs: comments made while in those categories need to be identified separate from normal comments. They sometimes don't make sense when the sub is finished.
   -Higher voted comments to top? (many don't thread their replies so probably not)
   -don't increment the comment count when editing a comment (I think fixed nightly during cronjob)
   -Remove negative XP for negative submissions. (add to cronjob, submissions don't need to have - points)
   -An "aura" on commenters depending on their overall acceptance by the community? Those that get more upvotes on their comments get a more positive "aura" (Silveressa)
   -Allow contributors names to be searched for
   -approve/report links are all whacked
   -A list of subs that are good community involvement (Muro Award?)
   -media query to add/remove chatbox on smaller screens to keep from covering stuff
   
   
   Random notepages done. Rest are somewhat organized in notebooks. Phew.

   I really like point 3, "Each main category be a sort of stand alone homepage for that type".  I would like to suggest that you also include the most recent sub of that type, as well as the sub with the lowest total comments/votes that is older than a week.  I've been trying to use my votes recently to give a little love to submissions that received little attention, and this would make that a lot easier.

   That sounds good! The random that will be chosen (and the random currently on the frontpage) has the requirement that it be more than 1 year old which is usually enough to get a neglected one up out of the archives.
   
   But your idea is excellent, added it.
   
   (to pop up the least commented you can sort them that way on the browsing pages)

   Thanks, Strolen.  I've been using the excellent sorting functions that you've provided, so you're right that it's not impossible to do this now -- just inconvenient.  Having the least commented piece automatically show up on its category's homepage would be so much slicker.  I'm excited that you're considering adding this in :)
