Suggestions and Small Announcements For Improving D-Addicts

Suggestion: Don't transform Japanese (and presumably other CJK) text into an uneditable mess of entity numbers, but keep it as unicode in the edit boxes.

(And +1 for "thanks" buttons.)

Suggestion: Filter or Separate the "Subtitle Forum" by subtitle written language

I think this would improve the usability of the "Subtitle Forum" considerably, as many users are only interested in subtitles written in a specific language.

I don't know how the "Subtitle index" is filtered into sections but it looks like it can/is-being done, if that could be applied to the "Subtitle Forum"?

Or if there is no existing method to filter by... attempt to "enforce" a language tag in the first forum post that could be searched for?

A language filter wasn't really an issue for me, until Hungarian language subtitles became so popular... which I unfortunately don't read.

Sorry if this has already been discussed... 72 pages is a lot to read thru...
Thanks

It's indeed a distributing method.
But IMO there are few people who would do it.

Why don't make a good use of the Request thread instead?

I think that active DA users (that aren't leechers only) keep browsed that thread and help people with their request. At least with recent posts.
For example, few time ago I posted a request help in the thread and I was able to get what I was looking for.

If you want to give specific help, you can always send a PM to the user that made the request.
Or write a line in the shoutbox if you prefer. A line, not a complete post like you did yesterday. Goggle eyes

I have a suggestion for the forum.
I noticed on Asiator's forum that you can use keyboard shortcuts to format the text.
For example making it bold, instead of typing

Keyboard shortcuts will not work if the key sequence has already a meaning in the browser or in the interface of the used operating system.

If you hover the mouse over the "bold button" you see "(alt+b)" which doesn't work here because ALT+B opens the Edit menu of my browser (Edit is Bearbeiten in German). And CTRL+B has another meaning in my Firefox. Different languages and software mean different keysequences. Neutral

We will not add any fancy features to the forum software. To be honest, we are happy that it is still working. The last phpBB2 patch we applied is from 2006. The phpBB Group fully switched to phpBB3 in 2007 and support of phpBB2 ceased on January 1, 2009. Applying official patches was easy. But because we did our own hacks and added several available phpBB mods the forum software is not portable to phpBB3 or anything else anymore.

Organizing the forum structure using the forum configuration (e.g. splitting a forum in several sub-forums) and any administrative forum tasks are no problem at all. But regarding the subtitle forum I see no real benefit because it was never meant as a place were users hang out and discuss. For us it was just a place to drop all the files in a more or less organized way. All discussions belong to the fansub or drama/culture forums.

@all:
Btw, it seems we could need one or two more moderators. Any experienced forum members are welcome. As mod you must for example understand our torrent upload system to manage (aprove/reject) pending torrents etc. Or cleaning up the subtitle or seed request section is another task specific to D-Addicts. Feel free to apply to an active forum moderator/admin you know if you are interested.

Suggestion: get people to seed J-dramas. If you miss a batch release, a week or two later its too late.

This makes me feel like crying.

Since the death of filelockers its torrents or nothing.

And due to nobody seeding.

Its nothing.

Great.

Ola, any chance we could upload the SMALLER versions of the shows to the newsgroups/usenet? Most of the stuff on a.b.multimedia.chinese are 4GB/episode or sometimes even 1.4GB. Wish we could get them in the smaller 350-600MB sizes since they're quicker to download and easier to burn (for those of us who must make several copies for their extended family, ahem).

AND PLEASE RELEASE MORE NEW CANTONESE SHOWS ON THE NEWSGROUPS! PLEASE! I'll take any format as long as the file sizes are not huge. Thank you. Have a good weekend. }]-)

Add rel="nofollow" automatically to all links, be they in the posts or signatures. This will reduce much of the SEO spam this site is getting hit by.

Suggestion for the links.
Instead of hover links use regular links so it's easier to see what pages you have visited.

A work-around is the change and use your own colors in FireFox, but if you do that then you won't be able to see certain things on other pages.
Be it Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Hotmail etc.
Think it has something to do with the web 2.0.
