For LEB: Perhaps something like DSLReports' reviews section, leaderboard, awards (gold/silver/bronze) and all?
Official community-driven open source projects (for fun mainly) would be nice to see.
Also an explanation as to when you got rid of the "community curator" tag @Liam ? :P
Comparison matrix of providers ?
My biggest deterrent from getting involved at LEB has always been the newest post feature. Sure it shows the last 5-6 posts, but a link to see a longer history would be little effort, and make the likelyhood of my visiting more often.
LET seems fine as it is. About LEB... i don't care much.
We hope to implement reviews in the near future.
I think we have a few of these like Ministall but we can't really impose this.
I'm a little confused about what you're asking. Do you mean on the offer itself?
Because you don't use it or?
I know that this is a long shot, but then again it's just a suggestion: With Drupal 7 you could extend the functionality of this website beyond a forum and add support for profiles, social networking among community members, support for more complex content types, internal automation support with rules (http://drupal.org/project/rules) and much more. Of course I don't know how difficult it would be to migrate the data from Vanilla Forums to Drupal. Anyway, it is just a suggestion.
A working search function in LET would be useful. It will maybe avoid the start of duplicate threads. Google search restricted to the lowendtalk.com domain works, but not anyone know this.
Maybe a feature for the blog that allows users to rate VPS providers. Similar to a reviews section on something like Amazon.
Not much could be clearer, give me the option to see more posts. A link to a longer history would be the easiest solution.
I thought you meant the offers! Will definitely look into this!
Well I'd like to see staff of a LEB host have a "LEB Host" role instead of the default "Member" it shows they are different from the normal users and everyone can know who is who.
It's just not interesting for me. LET is a community, and it is nice to be part of the community. LEB is mostly a list of advertisements and i am not interested in these since i am not really into shopping for LEBs.
I was just thought a free email address like someone@lowendbox.com / someone@lowendtalk.com :p
A monthly summary email of offers ranked by popularity, I find that LEB offers move pretty quickly off the front page & I'll miss one that I might want to grab (I've grabbed offers 2-3 months old before that were still active).
Or perhaps a way of showing offers that aren't time sensitive but still active.
And that would be necessary... why?
If you want a social network, there's Facebook. And MySpace. And VK. And whatever other social network you'd like to use. I don't see why something like LET would have to be bloated with "SOCIAL ALL THE THINGS", unless there is a very good reason for it.
Maybe we could integrated lowendtalk and lowendbox...
Ability to edit comments in LEB (like for an hour after posting it) or, if this is not possible, a Preview button so we can double check what we're about to post, before submitting it.
Honestly? I think we should move away from vanilla, I hate it. But then again, it is what makes this place original :P
The late nofications thing I made a topic earlier about is one issue many are having, other than/then that, I agree with @miTgiB
Look above your editor toolbar - it's already there :)
Holy sh*t, never noticed that..
@Liam Fixing the BB code tags or changing "You can use Markdown in your post." to you can use HTML.. Newbies are always making formatting mistakes and asking how to post images correctly.
There should be a better categorization system. If i want to rent a VPS anywhere in Europe, i would have to go through 5 different categories. You should make some sort of generic categories like US west, central, east, Europe and SEA
Was talking about LEB actually :)
Actually, this seems to be a bug in how LET is set up - on another Vanilla installation I've toyed with, the 'Markdown image tags' work fine. Not sure what causes the problem.
What would I like to see more at LET/LEB? More Girls!
I think you should get another forum software XenForo.
A serverbear-like sorting system for offers - possibly even integrate ServerBear benchmarks (if possible)
a Chat widget or a Shoutcast
just visit us at #lowendbox at irc.freenode.net ;-)
