What pisses you off?
![]() |
Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I'd like to know what pisses you off about DaniWeb?
Please - let's avoid getting into any long discussions or debates about any single issue. I'm just looking for short 'n' sweet ideas/suggestions/examples about what you don't like, what pisses you off, what frustrates you, etc.
I'll start it off:
Currently on the table are:
IntelliTXT ads
Only allowing two colors (green/red)
Small quick reply box
Hover tooltips
Flash-based ads
Tab indents for code are too big
People don't use code tags
Too much advertising
Even if I don't agree with everyone's grievances, or choose to take action on all of them, I *do* want to at least be aware of all of them, and also get a general idea of which ones are more important to people, and how many people are annoyed by the same thing.

people who say "pisses me off" in the subject title of threads 
Seriously: code tags thing is probably the #1 complaint.

The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.

pissed is allowed
apart from the ads (im not against the concept of ads, just the volume of them) , i think daniweb is great. A few minor gripes however.
1) two colours only
2) having to go advanced to upload attatchments (IMHO the size of the box itself is fine)
3) the site is becoming too big. Too many forums. many newbies dont know where to go. Possibly reorganise (kill of dead boards?)
****
4) could you improve the moderation process by making it so that can go into a menu in our CP, and see all unanswered reported posts in forums which we are in charge of. that would be really handy rather than having to comb through the reported posts board

If I were to make a list, it would largely be a subset of John's. That said, here's my list:
* Posting Games
* Lack of interesting content in the Geek's Lounge (I mean, I like the idea of an off-topic forum but this one largely borders on junk)
* Not being able to directly accept CC payments for sponsorship (I'll put up with paypal since I'm nice though
)
* Tab size for posted code
* Narrow size of site content. One of the best parts of PFO is that the content fills the page (especially when posting code segments, since wrapping code is annoying).
Admittedly, I never knew the site had much embedded advertising until a while after I'd become a sponsor, so the advertising doesn't bother me at all. Yay for Adblock+.

I would love this too. Remember suggesting something like this when emails were disabled for reported post notifications. Right now, I use the hover tooltips as an alternative to find out if a reported post is under my jurisdiction. But because of the time difference between USA and Japan, most of the reported posts are solved when I wakeup or go home after work, so I don't find it much of a problem in my end.
