Quality improving actions necessary [header]Introduction[/header] This thread will discuss some of the problems and flaws that I see with the current community and site. Users shouldn’t be blamed for the decreasing quality of the threads. Feel free to disagree with me! [header][/header] [header]QFD approach [/header] This thread will use a popular method that’s used by us engineers, it’s called the QFD-method. Basically you list the following: (in the correct order) [*] Identify the problem [*] List the customers (users) demands and rank them [*] Suggest possible solutions to the previously mentioned problems In a real life scenario you should use 2 more steps but they are neither possible nor appropriate to apply to this thread.

What's the most common misconception on basil? As, the title say... what do you think it is? Example: Users that (e.g. spell this word wrong or got this term mixed up) I'll start: Users that assume that mods == admins
Site suggestion (unabusable!) [header]Hello![/header] Every time we come with suggestions for additions to the site they get rejected on the saame base; [i]"it will be abused, end of discussion, mods locks thread."[/i] It's the same procedure over and over again, I'll mention some suggestions that got rejected: -spoilers -like/dislike buttons -User levels (was removed) -Cange some rules However, I've come up with a nice addition that [b]cannot[/b] be abused! :) It's called; [i]"popular threads"[/i] and the popularity of a thread is based on the ammount of users that is currently [i]reading[/i] the thread, not the ammount of comments, latest comments etc. wich easily could be abused. Examples could be found below. (images
Fix the server overload! Hello! As everyone might have seen, basil is [i]extremely[/i] slow loading due to overloaded servers. But why isn't it fixed? I have numerous solutions in my head, here are a two of them: [*] Do not reload the page so often! A simple ajax request is enough, for example when clicking "I like this screen or I like this video", [i]why reloading the entire page?[/i] It just uses more server resources. [*]Use css-sprites,

This thread is made because I want to a discussion about my ideas. [header]Introduction:[/header] First, some questions: -Do you see alot posts that are similar on the frontpage? -Hard to get other users to respond to your thread? -Do you feel that users doesent see your thread?

Stupid coding mistakes [header]Hello![/header] Just want to point out some stuff that has been in my mind for quite a while. Is Mr.B really a professional web developer or just a normal person trying to create something fancy but doesen't care about the coding or performance? [header]Invalid HTML code[/header] At the moment there is 55 Errors in the source code, I can see that most of them are missing attributes for the image tags but it's not that hard to fix...

Advertising, my thoughts and a proposal [header]Hello![/header] I've been studying web design and web programming (mostly PHP) in my sparetime and I've worked on some projects, havent finished all though, however, that's not why I made this thread! The reason to why I created this thread is because, lately, I've been both suspended (rule #5) and in my own opinion not treated that good by the mods [i]and Mr.B[/i]. (there is 4 mods that haven't treated me like dirt though, you know who you are, shouldn't mention who it is... ;) ) However, lets start from the beginning with some facts etc. [header]Rule #5[/header] Talking about auctions, shops, listings, or other websites for the purpose of advertising is not allowed. Do not post or PM referra
Anyone remember the blog? Antone remember this? (it's even on the frontpage... :) )
Small guide: how to connect to the site [header]Hello![/header] Humm... there seems to be some sort of problem with the site atm. There are many users that cannot connect to it properly, here is a small guide for windows user on how to get it to work temporarily. Fist you need the IP of the site wich is: 75(dot)125(dot)61(dot)147 Now open notepad [b]as administrator (<- VERY important otherwise you won't be able to save your changes)[/b] Navigate to %systemroot%/system32/drivers/etc/ and open the hosts file. Now, add the site in the following format: SITES_IP_HERE www.basilmarket.com Then it should work normally! :)
The almighthy Mr.B stands above the rules! What I would have to do is to start with some questions: [b]1. How do you report screens?[/b] [b]2. Who will read this report?[/b] [b]3. How do I get Mr.B suspended for breaking the rules?[/b] Okay, now let's move on to the topic, this isn't in any way meant to attack another person but it's just an example on how power can be abused. (if you are going to flame, don't post, I want a [i]discussion[/i] not a flame war) [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/show/screen/164615]The screen![/url] From the rules: [quote=rule]Rule #1 - Attacking Attacks on users or moderators, or comments made to incite an argument are not allowed.

How about an auction feature [header]Important notice:[/header] This thread is not really about auctions but it's connected to them [i]in a way[/i] so it's not like the title is misleading or something like that. said that I could use this title so I guess it's okay... :) [header]The feature:[/header] I'd like to make a proposal, how about an [i]auction feature[/i]! Wouldn't that be an awesome addition to the site? Please share your thoughts... [header]Well... not really...[/header] To the accual topic; [i]assume[/i] that basil did [b]not[/b] have an auction feature. What kind of comment would such a proposal get? Judging by earlier proposals I'd guess that the majority would be [i]against[/i] it, why? [*] It would be [b]abused[/b] [*] Ther
Basilmarket app/mobile version [header]Background[/header] I know that this subject has been brought up before, [b]however[/b], I have never seen some good suggestions or something to discuss because the majority of thoose threads have been about an iPhone application. However, this thread is [i]not[/i] about an app, it's about a [i]mobile version[/i]. I've even created a [b]demo[/b] in order to show what such a feature could look like. [header]Demo[/header] I've used a framework called [i]JQUERY MOBILE 1.0 ALPHA 2[/i], link to their site can be found below. I choosed jQuery because it supports multiple mobile-devices such as iPhone, blackberry, windows phone etc. Basically all smartphones. :) Also, it's completely [b]free[/b] yo use! I've
