Team Realtree Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 We are in the preliminary stages of putting together some improvements and changes to Realtree.com. As in the past, these will involve feedback from all of you. Please take the time to post your thoughts on what we could do to make this site better. What features or content would you like to see added? What do you like about the site? What do you not like about it? Here's your chance to speak up. I will be printing these out for review over the next few days, so let's have it. Thanks, S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: IMPORTANT THREAD I think it would be nice to be able to place your cursor over the thread title and see part of the actual post. Not sure if that is an option but I've seen it on other forums and really liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I know this has been discussed before but if there was a way to increase the amount of time you have to edit a post that would be great too.

buckee Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: IMPORTANT THREAD I've always liked the format in this forum compared to others. The back-ground in most forums is coloured and makes it harder on the eyes. It's always been a lot easier to find your way around threads in here compared to some others also. The only a few things I would change is: (1)-that big black strip of wasted space over on the right hand side of the page for users who have their resolution turned up higher than 800 by 600 pixels. I personally like the 800 by 600 resolution, because I need the larger print for reading, so it's never been an issue for me, but it is for some. (2)- have more expressive icons (maybe) (3)- Longer editing time (maybe 24 hours) (4)- Longer posting time, so you don't lose all your long 2-fingered typing post and get so frustrated that you just don't bother with that thread anymore ..LOL (5)- There is an automated refresh or dump feature in this forum that seems to kick in at the oddest times and prevents you from opening pages or going anywhere. It seems to last about 20 to 25 minutes or so, and you can't even get into the forums when it's operating. Is there any way, you can make that happen at night (6)- Bring back That direct link to users gallery in Picture-Post (It disappeared when you turned off the member rating thingy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: IMPORTANT THREAD Buckee you mean the ones that wave at you and you can get ones holding up beer mugs and such.

The ones we have are nice and tame, which is a good thing. I just thought maybe if there are other good tame expressive ones out there, it would be a nice change.

Jeramie Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: IMPORTANT THREAD Make me a mod... That would be a great idea... Seriously, I like Orlans Idea about religion too. Kevin had a great idea about the image preview. That would help the dial up guys LOADS. One question on the picture post. What about a multiple pic upload? Maybe im missing it but I know Photobucket and a few others you can do a multiple pic upload. One pic at a time takes forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrow32 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: IMPORTANT THREAD Instead of having the date on the side for the posts that happen 6/20/06 would it be possible for it to say today. Or is that not even a choice for you. Then once there a day old it goes to the dates. Just a thought some other forums are like that and i like it.

TreeStandBowHunter Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: IMPORTANT THREAD [ QUOTE ] We are in the preliminary stages of putting together some improvements and changes to Realtree.com. What do you like about the site? What do you not like about it? [/ QUOTE ] Maybe I am wrong but I don't think Scott is talking just about the "forums" alone although the "Forums" are part of it. I am going to take a guess and say that you are talking about Realtree.com in general and of course that includes the forums. As far as the site goes, it's pretty good how it is except for the forever annoying right side of the screen thats black but I think we beat that horse dead months ago. On the home page, maybe you could put a "Ask the Pro's" blog or whatever it's called on the home page and take maybe 5 questions a month(Becasue your probably going to have about 3000) and allow one of the big boys to answer them and put them on the home page somewhere or a hyperlink to them. You would probably pick up more traffic too because people are going to want to keep coming back to see if their question got answered by Tom, Dave or Mike...it will make them feel all warm and fuzzy inside if they answer their question. Also the more traffic you have the greater chance of somebody going to the realtree store and other things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_Goose Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: IMPORTANT THREAD Add to the hunting tips part, I always read those hand cuff waddell and blanton to a chair for 3 hours a day and make them go on the forums ... personally i think the canadian site is a little slack or lacking as well.

RangerClay Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: IMPORTANT THREAD Scott, I hang out in a couple other small time outdoor forums, one is www.iceshanty.com and the other is www.myfishfinder.com One thing I really like is that there is a room for each state. I can go there and discuss New York issues with other New York sportsmen. I don't know how hard it would be to add a room for each state but if you visit one of the links I gave you and go to their forums I bet you can find out. Thank you for asking for our opinion.

Tominator Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Re: IMPORTANT THREAD I like the overall site, it's very easy to navigate. I don't like how quickly the drop down menus drop down. Some of the pictures are dated. As for the forums: I don't like the big black strip on the right part of the screen, I miss the little dude that could roll his eyes, he's better than this guy ----> . I miss seeing in red how many posts have elapsed since your last visit, that was a cool feature, I liked the direct link to a member's photo page too. Overall I like the site and wouldn't change too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
