Whos Online - Suggestion for NUMA

[origami_alligator]

If this were to be implemented, I'd want it as a link in the Other section that would update automatically as soon as you clicked it to tell you who was online at the moment which you clicked the link. This way it doesn't clutter up any of the current pages and would only be available to the people who were interested in who was online at the time. It would preferably be in the format that the Who's Who section is in, with avatar and username together.

Is the "who's online" still an option?
Well the who's who setup is in hierachy so it's possible to sort out people.
i.e
Looking at maps
Looking at profile
Looking at Home

(dunno why that is interesting)
But you could also take some of the grand tags to sort by

Action
Race
DDA
Misc

too complicated.
Just a list of the people logged on at the moment would be good enough. We don't need a comprehensive breakdown of what every person is doing.

Agreed.
Southpaw, If you just want to try to make your own design, I could post it to Arachnid. With your credit, of course.

Nah, I think "setting it up kinda like how the Who's Who section is. (Avatars and usernames.)" gets the point across well enough. Arachnid would know how to design the rest of the page, if he were up for it.

[UndeadPie]

I like the Who's who idea as well, but wasn't the idea of a who's online disliked and turned into the idea of a who's looking at this page?
Anywho, I'm in on the Who's who :p Has my vote

[moonlight]

I have no idea how to write to arachnid. He would most likely shoot the idea down anyway..

Here is the suggestion.


And I will send the idea to NUMA later, I'm going to bed.

[Viil]

i think that would be a very interesting idea... Why hadn't i thought of that?

[Jawbit]

This is a fantastic idea. Everything that was said above made me like this idea even more. Amen to that.

[TheEverPresent]

couldn't we just have a button that takes you to a page with whos online instead of having it be at the bottom of every page?

[Tunco]

This is a good idea, but it would look bad on Numa.

It's a bad idea.

That does not sound like it would look that bad.

Why not? I think there's plenty of space on NUMA for a small piece of text to a spoiler, if it's so helpful. It would be very helpful to me. I've always wondered who was on many times, like when I want to post a quick comment on a map, but I don't know whether he or she will see it right away; or when I am about to post a new map, what friends are online at the time. It would've been a great help for my Elements series, my most anticipated series that I asked three people by PM to be online at a certain span of time, only to find out after I started posting them by interval that they miscalculated the time zone thing or they had last minute plans, leaving my maps untouched for more than half of the event. I'm all for the idea.

Only one possible problem: When you click out of your web browser, do you actually log out of NUMA, unlike the forums which has the delay? Do you actually stay online that whole time? I wouldn't think so, but that would be a problem, since I'm sure many people don't actually log off before they close the web browser. The list would be cluttered with people who weren't actually browsing the site.
But if that's not a problem, I think it's a tremendous idea.

Yes you do. Unless it's not your PC, log off.

Hmm. That changed my mind, it would be nice to see whom is online so you can post the map, and there should be PM system on Numa too, commenting on maps for a personal message is annoying.

*Agree*

And I, in particular, think that the moderators *Cough, cough!*Manus Australis*cough* are lazy. Though, Arachnid seems like a stubborn brute.

Having a life outside of this community doesn't make you lazy or a stubborn brute. Unlike you, the people in charge of NUMA have other things going on in their day. Arachnid in particular is always extremely busy and doesn't have the time to code all of these suggestions, especially when there are existing bugs that need to be fixed first, which he also doesn't have time for.

Also, your presence is often less than contributory to the threads in which you post. So in general, think before you speak. That will be all.

[Awesome67]

I find that very offensive. How was I supposed to know that they didn't have time for it? And it's so rude to be prejudice towards people over
the internet by saying that they have no life outside of their time on the computer...

Sorry if I came across as ignorant, but you, Pheidippides, are being quite a jerk.

So were you when you called pawz lazy and when you called Arachnid a stubborn brute. That's harsh judgment to be passing on people who have done so much to make our community as good as it is.

I agree that my insinuation was harsh in its own right. Withdrawn. I was just frustrated because of the way you started judging your superiors as if they existed solely to meet your needs, as if you could do their jobs better. Like I said, these people have been contributing great things to this community since well before you even got here. That's why they're in the positions they're in. We trust them to do what they can to keep the cogs of NUMA turning.

I'm sorry I was so harsh, but please don't speak like that about anyone if, like you said, you're somewhat ignorant of their situations. /I/ took offense at what you said because I, not to mention much of this community, know that pawz and Arachnid are exemplary members who are doing their best for us.

Also, that was a great post. A bit off-topic, but that was my fault. If you consistently contribute to other discussions like that, you'll be on your way to becoming a great lazy member like pawz or Arachnid. ;)

[BrassMachine]

Maybe we could set up something like x-box has. Under profile you could condense all the map related tags (Favorites, My maps, and Delisted maps)into one and have another tag called freinds. There you could either look at people who have made you their friend or become your's, have a message area for PM'ing each other so you don't have to do it on maps or email, and an online section to see who's on at the time. That way the information is out of the way and incorperates everyone's ideas. Of course this will probably never happen because no one really has the time and effort to do something this complicated like Pheidippides said. But would be a great consept to put everything in an organized pattern and to branch off of like its been doing for the last few pages. Keep bouncing ideas off each other and we might find something that could work.

Uhm....

First of all, <3 Pheidi. It's good to know people got your back.

Secondly, Awesome67, I'm not a coder. I'm not an admin of the site so that I can create new additions. I'm here to keep the social aspect of the site from going to hell and I do so every day. To say that myself or Arachnid or the rest of the staff is lazy is a pretty unfounded statement. We're here to keep NUMA running, not cater to your needs.

Thirdly, we're not here to introduce additions that take a lot of coding to implement immediately. I've been working closely with a member of the community to try and get him a coding position on the site so that we can start fixing things before we start implementing immense new additions to the site. (For the most part. There are a few highly anticipated additions he may code from the UserVoice page to keep the plebes happy. ;D )
