Hive 2 Feedback

[Cherrymage]

I have to agree with Chaosy.
Now the "Social Groups" subforum looks disorganized, messy and confusing. I needed to look carefully for the discussions I want to access. And I don't understand why are social group pictures being turned into threads?

And managers of RP discussions can't do anything with inappropriate posts, they need a moderator to modify and delete posts. Perhaps at the very least, grant some users to power to moderate their RP discussions?

And we have to put in much effort exporting contents of Conversations into public records.

There's an option now in albums to choose wheter we want other people to be able to add media to it or just us, this has alot of potential for RP and moderation, as we can decide someone's profile to send all our media, and they can decide wheter or not to delete them. If it's just text you can just add it to the media's caption, though I really wish we could use the Description box instead, if it wasn't so character-limited.

Does anyone know what happened to the hive leak tester? I can't seem to find it on hive 2.0.

Heh, I guess it's not too bad of a thing though since now I am forced to learn JASS and stop being a GUI peasant.

It is not there now but will be back. I am rewriting it to be server-side, much faster and will auto generate a pastebin entry for you so you won't lose it when navigating away.

I tested this site when I was in my Banned Hiatus and this are the listed problems.
-When the user is online in Chat and was just banned, He/she can still access it, But when refreshed you're now banned in chat.
-When you ignore a user in chat and an Ignored user tries to Private chat you and this always pops out http://prntscr.com/bik7vq If my friend Aszure is online we might test how irritating is this Text message in Chat.
-You don't have complete access in the whole site even the Admin/Staff Contact when you're logged in as a banned user

 

[Jaina Proudless]

Is there a way to remove/hide the annoying neon-green advertisement bar I see on every single page? It says stuff like "Welcome to the new Hive! Be advised that we're still working on the site. There are still many rough edges, so please bear with us."

Some of this advertisement has little cross next to it but clicking it only shows the next advertisement and the advertisement box just stays forever. I tried using my ad block to disable it and it looked like it worked but the ad just came back when the page is refreshed.

It's a not really a big issue just an eye-sore with that advertisement and eye-hurting light green shade.

 

[IcemanBo]

This specific note is probably not removeable because it's an important Site Note for all users and not a simple announcement for an event.
Others should be removeable, and in case once no valid note exists the board should just vanish.

I tried using my ad block to disable it and it looked like it worked but the ad just came back when the page is refreshed.

Then you did something wrong.

 

[Jaina Proudless]

Then you did something wrong.

Not sure what I did wrong but yeah it's probably on my end since I tried blocking other things and got the same result. Maybe I got an outdated version or something since I never update anything

 

[Ralle]

Oh yeah. "Work in Progress" is non-dismissable. That seems extreme. You of all people know that it's a work in progress . I will make it dismissable.

 

[Kakerate]

Took a little bit of time to get used to the new interface, but I'm just about there now. Looks great!

 

[Archian]

I'm just posting this to let you know, that each and everyone of your concerns will be addressed soon enough. And once more I would just like to remind everybody that we're still working on the site and we're aware that many things needs to be fixed and/or adjusted. We will do this ASAP.

Keep posting your concerns and feedback, it is much appreciated!

 

[Kyrbi0]

I know it's just my sense of nostalgia & my distaste for change speaking, but I'm a big fan of the recent change (rep & online indicator, primarily).

Keep up the good work!

 

[Azsure]

Indeed, good work with the forum profile UI so far, looks even better than the Hive 1 one did.

 

[Korialstrasz]

I also totally agree. Looks pretty cool.
Rep icons could be a little bit bigger, but that's just my personal taste. Great work guys!

 

[Jaina Proudless]

What happened to the titles/messages under the avatars? Are they being removed?

Well they were useless anyway if you ask me.

 

[Archian]

Glad you guys like the changes to the message layout Note that we still plan on making a few more changes to it.

What happened to the titles/messages under the avatars? Are they being removed?

Yes and no. User titles have been removed from message layouts but are still visible in your profile page.

 

[Emm-A-]

one can clearly see that you guys are improving the site each day. Much respect and also a big thumbs up for bringing back a lot of nostalgic features

 

[Rheiko]

Oh, my God. Those rep balls look cuter than the ones in Hive 1. <3

Keep up the good work!

 

[Archian]

We sure are working to do just that

 

[Rui]

@Archian, do you have any time constraints for working on the site? Are you studying or working?

 

[Archian]

@Rui, I'm both working and studying (law). However I do have more time now since our summer vacation started.

 

[Warseeker]

Oh, my God. Those rep balls look cuter than the ones in Hive 1. <3

Keep up the good work!

I prefer the old ones, I like the spheres
These rep balls reminds me of wc3c.net

 

[Rheiko]

well, true. xD
Options for how rep balls look would be great. :3
That feature in Hive 1 where we can change the rep balls into some cupcake (was it? ) ~

 

[Jaina Proudless]

I don't get it they look exactly the same and the algorithm behind their amount and color remains illusive and counter-intuitive.

 

[Heinvers]

Disabling function, anyone? It would be much appreciated.
That and making people unable to rep you would also be great.

Edit: rep in SE working? ya....

 

[pyf]

Men should not worry too much about their rep balls.

 

[Warseeker]

The Rep Power doesn't seems working?

 

[MaXaRaYkIn]

GOD!

I wanted to know if I can add tags (you know, extra words that would make the search for that thread much more easier) in a "hidden" tag, at the end of a tutorial thread.

I didn't know where to search (you know the whole "blah, blah, blah" with the new search system) and tried to see the rules from Tutorial Submission.

I went to Tutorials and the link to README before posting! is broken (gives and error). I expected to find the before mentioned link inside the Tutorial Submission, with a sticky attached... But it wasn't there...

So... Am I allowed to add tags to a Thread to facilitate easier search?
If I am allowed: should I add it or the search system is going to be fixed and will work as it worked on Hive 1.0?

 

[SpasMaster]

Love the latest changes to rep, online status and messages.

 

[Blackcat]

This site looks glorious.

 

[shinji]

The search engine has to be fixed, seriously. I can't search by keywords and filters at the same time. I want to search with filter "attachments" and keyword "shield" but it won't let me. Wtf. Where did the search bar from HIVE 1 go? (Hive 1 had two search bars. One is for searching the whole site, second is searching inside the filter.) I know I have been complaining about this multiple times. But this is a fatal issue. Gets in my way of searching useful resources... Please help.

 

[Rheiko]

Guys, for God's sake. Patience.

 

[Eagle XI]

Randomly, when clicked on latest: resourcenameishere
gives this:

HIVE - Error
You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.

It takes only around 30 minutes to scroll through all the attachment resources, that is if you're a slowpoke. So if you're truly motivated to find the model you need to get to scrolling and fast. Either that or wait for a unknown amount of time for the issue to be fixed. This unknown amount of time though is probably not going to be 30 minutes so you might as well get scrolling

 

[Archian]

We're currently working on adjusting the search function in the resource section.

Guys, for God's sake. Patience.

Yes, please. All good things come to those who wait

 

[SpasMaster]

Perhaps you guys should muster up a list of issues/bugs you are aware of and working on (or going to work on), so that people don't keep asking for the same thing. The search function has been mentioned a million times already either because people are unaware that you know about the issue or because they are too lazy to look if you are working on it. Either way a sticky thread somewhere would spare both you and everyone else from unnecessary repeat posts which help no one.

 

[Ralle]

Keeping a list of bugs and addressing what everyone has to say is not something I am going to do myself. If anyone else is up to it, that's fine. I would rather spend my time actually improving things. Sorry, but posting takes significant time for me.

 

[SpasMaster]

Yeah, was referring to the entire Staff. I am sure you are busy as hell. It's just a suggestion that I think would be helpful to the process of getting feedback and improving the site.

 

[Archian]

We will make a list with current fixes and known issues. Stay tuned!

 

[Heinvers]

Submissions Archive permits thread opening. That should be fixed when time is freed for you guys.

I believe it to be fixed now.

 

[Rui]

I've felt the urge to make that list myself, but the thought of what happened with the House of Rohan sorta deters me...

 

[Archian]

I will make our current list public soon enough.

 

[Roland]

I would like to request an Administrator or maybe something higher rank to remove this kind of feature..

When you have someone ignore in chat and some user tries to PM you the message goes like this (Please check Image below.)

 

[Archian]

Yep, that needs to be fixed. Thanks for reporting it

 

[Roland]

Also this too, Archian.

 

[IcemanBo]

Actually I don't find it bad that you get notified that there is a message by a blocked user.
This way you have control over it, and still can decide to unblock him, in case you want after a certain amount of time.
And I guess you won't get messages like this very often, if he is blocked. And if yes, you can report to staff for spam.

Actually I recognized that if you block a user, you don't see his posts etc in the forums. It's good -- but also here I would actually find it awesome
if there was a little button or notification for you that there exists a "Blocked Post by User XY - Click to show" or so. Because sure you obviously
don't want to get regular information from this blocked user, but when reading threads it is essential sometimes to being able to read ALL posts, for logical reasons.
Else you see double posts or so, can't fully follow maybe the logics, and aren't even aware that a blocked user posted something in between.

 

[Warseeker]

Is there a way to see the amount of my Reputation?

 

[Archian]

Yes, simply hover your mouse over the rep gems.

 

[Dr Super Good]

I cannot seem to find the rank icon selection page under the Settings category of ones profile. This means there is no clear way to navigate to the page other than a direct link from somewhere else.

You have to hover your cursor over your user-name in the top right corner. A drop-down list of options will appear and it is always there.
