Orca Forum spy goes down regularly. Next time I'll grab a screenshot.

When a post is edited by Admin or Moderators it can still be edited by the member, this is not a good thing as it defeats the purpose of the Admin Edit.

Market is disfunctional in it's organization at best.

Members who wish to post a job request must pay $20 just to find someone, this really isn't fair to them. They're not selling, they're buying. Can we make it so you must pay if you want to bid on a job? Perhaps see more hide the Job Posters ID & Info and just have us bid on the jobs. This will push the modders who do work but don't post mods to buy the Premium Membership while the customers can avoid paying fees to get help.

1. I'm tired of having to enter my login credentials on every visit. How about a cookie login that works?

2. All that AJAX content updating in the forums is real cute, but it breaks browser navigation. How about getting rid of it, and just do it the old fashioned way? The only place ajax can be called an enhancement is the forum spy..... everywhere else, it's just a damn nuisance.

3. Organize the market into categories, while it's still manageable. Right now, its a mess. Give us a real see more Job listing area, instead of just adding jobs to the market as an afterthought.

There is a lot of flicker occuring in the footer menu when using IE8. This doesn't occur at all in Firefox 3 but it is terrible in IE8

I completely agree with MD & HL about the market. It's a mess and it's almost impossible to find things.

In the post above I meant to say the floating footer user menu (mailbox, profile, sites, etc) - not the Boonex footer.

I also forgot to add that in the actual footer (the Boonex footer) the breadcrumbs are covering up other links in IE8 when viewing the Unity homepage. I haven't seen it doing this on the other pages - but I may be wrong.

Please see... http://www.picdepict.com/viewer.php?file=89192246826611468666.png ... for a screenshot of what I mean.

I suggest to learn from Zimbra, claros.org for Unity Mail System

See my post http://www.boonex.com/unity/blog/entry/Suggestions_for_Unity_Marketplace about the MarketPlace.

Forums. More Sub-Forum categorization to make things easier to find.

Agree with HL about Ajax. Simpler is better. Remove it.

^^^ I 2nd what they said.

Just to reiterate - The Marketplace is crap - read BigAls blog post - lots of good ideas on there.

And again just to drive the point home - AJAX is overused - Really is no need to have it for forum posting - it breaks navigation even more so for those of use who navigate by keyboard.

The 3 new comments on my blog posts lead to 'Nothing found. '

No forum posts shown in my profile

Default field for market posts in profile should be 'NEW' - using 'HOT' is great see more for those shifting lots of mods, but for those of us who are just starting nothing shows in our profile.

Better still - why not let these settings be user selectable (I remember Andrey mentioning that Unity would be running on Dolphin 7 once)

Fixed. Thank you for the report.

Also can we sort out the ergonomics on blog post comments please? It is too easy to double post the same comment. I just refreshed this blog posting after about an hour of being on the same page and I think it double posted because of this. Certainly it was displaying the "Edit" and "Delete" count down. Although it would not let me delete it the posting.
AntonLV
Cannot reproduce the issue by simply refreshing the page. But when I clicked twice with Submit button the same post was created again.

I'd like to see a separate page for latest post and let it show up to 100 post. Perhaps making a clickable link at the bottom of forum spy to another page that shows the lastest 100 as the front page and forum page only shows around the last 10. 10 post can be made on one forum thread in no time and if the thread is rapidly moving, you won't see the other latest post without having to search through the forums categories.

Need to add Moderation tools to the Forums :) Moderators should be able to hide/delete/ or edit a member's post without affecting the entire forum post.

Hello Anton,

I have one major problem for Paypal payments.

There is an error in the product description at the Paypal transaction details:

Item Title: <![CDATA[Dolphin Game Zone + Youtubes Video Zone Pack]]>

Since this error I do not receive any Paypal 'payment received' notifications. I do not know if this is coincident. Has anyone have this problem too?


Kind regards,
Ramon
AntonLV
The problem with <![CDATA[]]> was fixed. I tested in demo mode and it's working fine. Check it please.
Thank you for the report.

Well just found another error.

I edited the message above while it also could be deleted. Instead of editing it duplicated my message...

So, sorry for this double message... but if you like: find the difference ;)

Kind regards,

AntonLV
Cannot reproduce the issue on http://www.boonex.com/unity/paymentprovider/extensions page. It's working fine under my account. If you provide me with your login password I could be able to investigate and fix the problem. If you agree you may send them via internal mailbox.
AntonLV
Stats page was fixed. Check it please.

@Zarcon: I think you are right and there should definately be a way to delete/hide posts from moderators. Considering some of the above posts. It is tainting what could be a good blog post thread. Still I am sure A.LV can work out what is dross and what is relevant.
danielmarseille
I do not know if that is with me - boonex.com - the site is slow very slow
cbassthefish
It is either you, your internet connection, your browser version/make, your computer, check your anti-virus is not kicking off, check no one is using your router as a warez hub. Erm run out of things to mention. Anyway boonex website is working for me fine. You should really post "I do not know if that is with me - boonex.com - the site is slow very slow" else where and not clutter this thread. Same as the PayPal posting above. It could be a good blog thread without the dross. I agree see more with Zarcon. The ability for moderators to hide irrelevant posts would be a plus.

RE webmediaservices - I too have not received any Paypal 'payment received' notifications

I to have seen the same problem with paypal market purchaces as webmediaservices. <![CDATA[ in the product description and no email notices of payment.

Also, the site becomes very slow at times. When it does get slow, there are constant database errors. Perhaps you guys have a database problem.
