Suggestions for the RC India forum/website

The same suggestion in a different way, Can we save the replies from a topic right away in our personal area here on rcindia, ie; Our Profile. Plain Bookmarking will not be a good solution as it depends totally upon browser to save our bookmarks somewhere in a file stored in physical memory locally. Once our computer is crashed or renewed or formatted, That would be lost. The bottom line is, Saving a particular reply just in any corner of our RCI profile will stay there untill we remove them ourselves. "Web-Based bookmarks which are saved on a remote web server and are accessible from any online computer", thats what I am talking about...

dst161...Great thought.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I hope you are aware that you can bookmark entire threads already, using the "Add Bookmark" option in the "Topic Tools" drop down on the top right of any thread.

But I see the requirement is to bookmark specific posts, which is not currently supported by the forum software or available mods.  I won't even promise looking into writing a mod myself to enable this, due to my schedule.

So here is a tool/trick that I have been using, not just for RC related stuff, but to organize my life/information in general.  It is a bit of a pain initially, but once you set it up, bookmarking becomes a breeze, from multiple sources.

I use EverNote (http://www.evernote.com).  Once you install it on your PC, your smartphone, and then install the "Web Clipper" add-on for Chrome, you are all set !    You can "clip" entire webpages, or just the URLs.  You can also organize information into nice notebooks for each subject.

I use it for everything from software tips, to storing pictures of warranty/invoice papers from electronics that I buy.  Living on the cloud... is the new way to live !

Added a "Show Topics" option when you are viewing anyone's profile. It lists all topics started by that user, in reverse chronological order.

Thanks for the Evernote option Mr. Anwar.

You are right, the requirement is to bookmark a specific post/reply of a topic.

And this bookmark also can be stored in the "Add Bookmark" list in which is a feature of this forum.

I will wait for this feature considering your current schedule.

But again I would request if you can find some pockets of time to add this feature.

Or please let me know if I can help you in doing so as I am into the IT industry as a web designer and can get this programmed for you.

[Sumeet]

Thanks you Anwar sir. 

It was just an suggestion. I can understand the "lack of time". I will try the method you told us to bookmark...

Thanks.

Gusty Sir,

Now you have made my life so much more easier to refer back to Ocean of  knowledge and wisdom posted by some of the great minds here, which I believe includes both of you and many more like Astha Sir, without having to use last post action button or search which is so much more time consuming.

Thanks again.

  I was expecting to be able to see show topics for others too but it is not available for others but available only for yourself as of now.

It would be nice to be able to see Show Topics for others too.  Admin  needed here.

By profession I am a software developer and also have some spare time. If you permit me then I can try to write a mod.

Can others confirm that this is the case ?  I thought "Show Topics" should work for every profile, not just yours !

Don't you see an option at the bottom of the profile ?

[Sumeet]

You can see every other member's last post and last topic. Just click on the handle name of any member, click on "View xxxx's public profile, Scroll down and you will see few options under the trader feedback area. Does this helps...?

[sundaram]

Thanks Anwar,

Now I can see the Show Topic action link at the bottom of every other's profile too. Wonder why it was not visible earlier.

Thanks.

How about  a makeover of the Color of the Forum (Tri color is good but the bright orange color attracts the eyes of the passer byes in the office, apart from striking ones eyes too.

Couple of other folks also complained about this... so the color scheme has been tweaked a bit.

Wondering if the visibility of clickable links have gone down, now that the dark green is gone

[dst161]

The earlier green color was better.

Now current brown color is a bit hard to read and yes the visibility of clickable links has gone down.

Why not try black color with blue color on roll over for links.

[anwar]

The rest of the text is black, so the links would not stand out if we make them also black !

How about this one with a blue tint ?

[dst161]

this looks great

Blue looks better...

I am thinking ....that we are good no. of peoples are now associated with thes forum,

So Anyone (like senior member of this fourm), take initiate and Open a Limited firm, (introduce shares in market)
and try to start and increase RC hobby in india by opening Org. like hobbyking or others
who will provide products on cheap rate like HK.

Same as DhiruBhai Ambani Did........

Seems silly.........but can become revolutionary step in RC word

only people who are associated in rcindia.org can purchase shares..........I think people in rcindia.org forum can easily purchase share of value 1000Rs each
Let suppose we have 5000 ppl in this fourm then we can create a company 50L Rs

We can vote on  it anyone want to initiate this .......

[naresh]

Liked it... However, I think it would need lot of research and need to spend more time on this idea.

[gbisht]

yes thats why I senior ppl to come forward and initiate it.

[naresh]

 

[gbisht]

for this we can fill a simple online form including
Name
Contact
Mobile
Share qty (1000/each)
first do servey and then decide.
how much big org. we can create.

what I know in china u can become distributer if u order is around 5000usd

[Dharmik]

We have
Heli lover
