Suggestions for the RC India forum/website

[topalle]

I suggest that there should be multiple interests allowed like a person can be a plane lover and boat lover at the same time

[Swapnil]

I agree.

[anwar]

Such people are just called "confused souls" or "people who really cannot decide which one they like MOST"

Hope none of them are looking to get married soon, they will never be able to decide on who to pick for better half

[topalle]

Sir i am in +2 right now only... I like planes the most buy i even like boats... but not as much as planes...so I chose plane lover in my profile

[VC]

Reply # 502 was a little under the belt. I've been married 24 years now, and I love Boats and Planes equally. Since I didn't have the opportunity of meeting Ms. Madhuri Dixit in 1990, there was no confusion in my mind about who I should marry...............

I whole heartedly agree with Topalle. If a member has proved credentials on this forum of being a multiple entusiast, it should reflect on his profile. Or else the profile can be misleading, as it is in my case.

[anwar]

I love Boats and Planes equally.

Time to pick a favorite ? Are you sure you don't love one more than the other, even by an iota ?

Or are you going to live through 120 years of age with this indecision ?

PS: The real reason is that this requires code changes that takes some time, and this is something that seems optional to most of the audience.

[VC]

Anwar Bhai, why are you cursing me with 120 years (another 71 years) of life? After all, only the good die young - I qualify.

Seriously, I love both equally, if I was asked to live without either, I would probably stop modelling altogether.

I thought Polygamy runs in every Human's grain !! am I wrong. Here is my request. Yes code change like you said will be a big deal !! we get that anwar bhai

I remember posting such a request

My New Request

Could we have 'Search the thread' option

[Swapnil]

I've noticed that some people use more than one profile here. It would be nice to know how many profiles are being accessed from the same IP. Say, when we visit a person's profile page, maybe it could show the handle names of all the profiles it shares it's IP with. This will save a lot of confusion, misunderstandings and frauds.

This is not a suggestion. I know this would require a lot of coding time. I'm just asking if it's possible. 

[SideWinder]

Okay while we are at it, can we have a 'Multi-rotor/copter Lover' too please? Even helis can come under it as they also have tail rotors 

Actually heli's and multi's are categorized under 'rotorcraft'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotorcraft .
Excerpts from wikipedia
"A multirotor[1] or multicopter is a rotorcraft..."  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicopter
"A helicopter is a type of rotorcraft..."  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter

Could we have 'Search the thread' option

I second that.

[topalle]

The option search the tread can be added as radio button under search bar i suppose.. that will make life a lot easier both for users and admin

[Swapnil]

... It would be nice to know how many profiles are being accessed from the same IP. Say, when we visit a person's profile page, maybe it could show the handle names of all the profiles it shares it's IP with...

Okay, that's a dumb thought, I didn't really think it through (what if a person were to use different IPs?).

Still, I wish there was a way to see all the handle names a single person was using.

And why would we need the 'search thread' option?

[iamahuman]

And why would we need the 'search thread' option?

Say you have a large thread and want to search for something, it's easier to use than the search on the forum.

[anwar]

"Search the current thread / topic" is fairly easy to add. Let me see if I can get it done soon.

[Swapnil]

Sometimes we share a couple of PMs in a row. It would be handy to have a brief list of recent chats below the message we are replying to. That way we can have a quick glance at any points we are chatting about. 

[topalle]

I suggest that there must be even a search the particular part of forum (like for planes or boats or cars or helis etc)

[anwar]

See the advanced search options (from the main menu, choose the Search dropdown).

http://www.rcindia.org/search/?advanced

You can search one or many boards of your choosing.

[Swapnil]

I am not getting any email updates regarding new posts to the topics I'm subscribed to. Is it just me?

[controlflyer]

Anwar,
As someone said, that he can be a boat or a plane "lover"
Can't you, just above the "reputation power" add in 4 little pictures of a plane/boat/heli/car
and then when a member updates his profile he gets these 4 options, and once he selects the pictures he likes, it reflects below his profile.
The pictures he hasn't chosen are greyed out, the ones he has selected are colored.
just my 2 fils!

[v2 eagle]

Swapni, it happened to me many times. even my own thread that i started!!!. sometimes they come a little late like a day or two later, im sure there is nothing wrong with my mailbox. some examples are the Coro-Towel build.

Ashok.P

[Swapnil]

Oh, okay.

I thought Anwar sir was mad at me or something... 

[K K Iyer]

@anwar sir,
Just noticed that in the members list, there is no sort option on the rc skills field!

[maahinberi]

@anwar sir
Can the "Beware of Dealing with these people" thread be moved from "For Sale" to some other category? I ask this because any posts on that thread do not show on the home page recent posts and I feel that this thread is important and should show on the home page.

[topalle]

Can "Last online at" be shown on the profile, near posts?

[topalle]

I suggest that the currrent sections must be split like the ones in forums abroad....
Electric planes can be split into trainers, sports, scale, 3d, etc....
Boats can be split into warships, tugboats, yachts, cruises, fishing boats, patrol boats, etc...
