Callatya Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Well, Although still in the test phase of this site (and moving to a new skin that supports more mods ASAP) We would REALLY love to know what it is that you'd like to see on this site You guys have been invited in because we really value your input (and friendship but in this post, input ) Our thoughts are as follows: *provide platform for super-local discussion. *provide detailed article archive on a range of topics *try to provide up-to-date water analysis for different areas around the country *set up a network of betta breeders that arewilling to swap or give away offspring in order to allow others to continue the line, providing F2 and F3 from imported and locally bred pairs that otherwise may not have been possible. *provide support for members on a local basis. (tank-cleaning when ill or injured, help when moving, access to first foods, group [bulk?] buys etc) *provide access to many Australian importers and breeders, without accepting sponsorship. This allows for an unbiased approach to getting great fish. *3 strikes and you are out. A known and transparent disciplinary code relating directly to the terms of service. All rather lofty ideas, but I think they can be managed if we try So, the question is have we left anything out? We don't want to get too big for our boots by adding on a whole bunch of extra features that will rarely get used, so we need to know what is important to you all, and what you think would be the most beneficial. (we can add more later if it turns out we need it:)) We'd also like to know your visions for a site like this, where you think we should be heading and what things we could consider doing to get us there If you don't want to speak up here, you can PM or email, its not a problem :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I personally think that this is a great site. I believe that you guys have fullfilled your intentions for Ausaqua.net with flying colors. But can i make a suggestion for the technical side of things? Namely an 'auto-correct' function in posts? that will correct any grammar errors if we choose to use it? thanks :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Hey Stefan, good suggestion Do you mean a dictionary?? We can install a dictionary to the boards, but thats something we have to look into the program and discuss it. As far as I know there is only one dictionary available for IPB and I dare say it will be American based & you will have the option to do a spell check. Watch this space :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 cool. i mean something like in Microsoft Word. where if you miss-spell a word, a red line appears under the word which when you right click it will bring up a little list of correctly spelled words which could match your word etc,. also something which would automatically convert slang spelling etc to correct spelling if the user enables the function. does something like that exist on the net? thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splendidbetta Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 your funny Pat. yeah, i thought of that, but it would be easier if it was a function in the posts. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 :)!!! No, we certainly cannot do anything like that. But I dare say if you find a hardcore programmer who is game enough to rip off the MS idea [which prolly has 50 patents attached) for a challenge, you might be in luck :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Em Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 *giggles* The problem with that is that it probably wouldn't pick it up as the words are spelt right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callatya Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Hey back again So our main page problems are very almost solved. The new portal is a little more welcoming than YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED etc It should get totally gorgeous once the new theme is finished Autocorrect is still being done manually, but we are working on it. The new portal gives us a few more options so you never know We have a few things that you are going to like that should be available soon There is a new way to log spawns in the works that is starting to look very spiffy NOW, since we are in upgrade mode, is there anything else that you'd find useful? Even things that are completely silly, or you think are too extravagant, just let us know anyway You never know til you ask! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mishy Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 This is going to sound silly, but can we get a list of couriers who will do shipping for fish across the country, and have it pinned in Classifieds? With contact numbers? With Aussiepost smartened up to our shipping methods ( edie), I'd like to have a quick reference should i need to send anything out. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I think Fastways is the only one. How about a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Hi Ausaqua Team I have been think, lately, that we usually have more than 1 user using the forum at any one time. Obviously, if these users visit the forum regularly, once they read all the new posts and start their own topics or reply to other posts, and do all that other stuff browsing the forum, then time slows down untill someone else posts... Do you get my drift? Maybe, if it's possible, we can set up an Ausaqua chatroom? Just an idea though, if it cant be done , thats ok, I suppose, but I have faith in you guys! Look at how awsome the forum is already Thanks in advance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 All forums go quiet at times, I don't think it is anything to be worried about. quality is better then quantity We have been thinking thinking about a chat room for months now, and it's a matter of which one is better and safer (ie, only members can log into) and nice on the eyes. Maybe after Christmas we will look into setting up a chat room *lol* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 :) I didn't mean that it wasn't normal for Ausaqua to go quiet, I meant that because one can only post and read so much, it would be nice to have a chat to the other members Good to know you are working on it Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
