Debate Search Feature
< Return to subforum
It took a little navigating to find the feature to search for debates. I know you're probably swamped with work, but my primary suggestion is to add a menu link for debate browsing by status (topic, awaiting challenger, currently debating, voting period, post voting..etc)
My second advice is to autoscale the usernames on the avatars. When the avatars for debate challengers are lined up next to each other, certain usernames with excessive character-length breach the boundary of the avatar border. Maybe and autosize feature? If char_length=>
10 and char_length

In testing I'd always added spaces to the usernames. I don't understand why people put, for example "TheMasterDebater" and not "The Master Debater". With spaces, the usernames wrap and it looks acceptable. Without them it becomes a little harder to detect when a boundary break will occur. I'll look into that though.
For debating by "status", I call that the "period" of the debate. Currently the periods I have are: "Challenge" (waiting for users to accept), "Open Challenge" (looking for users to join), "Active" (currently being debated), "Judging" (what you call voting) and "Completed" (the debate has finished). You can find these on the search form as a drop down.
Can you think where you would put such a link on the site menus? I like the idea but it's just a matter of finding room for everything.

On the menu bar, next to Debate| Judge| Forum...add "Quick Search".
Do you have the ability to swap your header with an image?
If you give me the dimensions I can photoshop you a few logos (png) with transparent background.
I can also do custom avatars for the account creation feature, if you need a library.

I can swap my header with an image - the current header is an image that's just so boring it looks like text. Dimensions are flexible so long as it's decently wide.
Everybody - check out the cool logos on www.ddoelite.com and tell me which one you like best. I'm a fan of #2 myself.
About refreshing/reposting, I'll look into that

Usernames at the tops of debates are now (somewhat) scaled. See

. for an example

Hmm... link won't work. Doesn't seem to have included that dot at the end as part of the link. Oh well...

Ah well.
Please excuse me as I'm not super creative when it comes to forum signatures.
