Request topic suggestion / chat improvment
-
The first suggestion is about the request area
I think you should add under category like Map request / Vehicle request / Scripts request / Tools etc
Instead of putting a tag on topic name, It would be much more clear and will avoid to scripter for exemple to search the script request in all request like vehicle or map or whatever.(Well in fact I think some other area need undercategory cause some part of the forum are flooded pretty fast xP)
The second suggestion is about the chat type box, hum we can't size it ? Sometime the scroll is between two line and make it hard to read what we write (to correct or etc)
-
This would definitely help clear things out on this forum.
I'm not even sure if it's possible or not, but it would make a fine addition.+1
-
@GTATerminal Yes I think too ;P
Between I just check your profile and was like wtf seeing your back picture, is that a nazy meeting .. ?
-
@Shaezbreizh I've had it up for 2.5 months and you're the first one to point it out. Congratulations!
I really just love the picture. The torches, the lines of helmets, the atmosphere of that big ceremony.Anyways, we're getting off track here
-
@GTATerminal Yeah a bit offtopic xP A last thing, you should choose an other picture, I know you're nice and helpfull but it could be a bit shocking for people that don't
-
@Shaezbreizh Yea, I suppose
-
@Shaezbreizh @GTATerminal I can add sub-categories to any category, if you list out some suggestions I can add them.
As for the chat box, I'll see if I can allow that to be resized.

Other suggestion is that if it's possible, to make another sub-category under vehicle sub-categories like boats, cars, aircraft , bikes. Not needed for modelling sub categories.
NOTE: Second thought with @GTATerminal, one sub-category that includes all types of modelling in Mod Installation Help & Troubleshooting and Modding Discussion would be sufficient.
-
@Zackintosh Nice! Good work.
While I do agree sub-categories would be nice, we have to be careful not to overdo it with too many categories.
It could cause a big divide in the commuity. Like, two categories for modelling in Modding Discussion and Mod Installation Help & Troubleshooting.
-
@GTATerminal @rappo Yeah I was thinking about the same thing when I was writing the sub-categories down. In that case, One sub-category for Modelling that includes all modelling types in Modding Discussion and Mod Installation Help & Troubleshooting would do be sufficient.
-
That's way too many sub-categories in my opinion
I already had a few sub-categories when the forums first opened and people either didn't know how to use them or just couldn't find them. They were posting all their mod installation help in this site feedback category, requiring me or @GTATerminal to move the topic. I'll go through your list and see where I can consolidate.
