Site Suggestion

[Strydur]

I am more than willing to take anything you all have to offer. I dont want to start using admins because if I dont keep up on these boards then I risk losing sight of what you all want. If you have suggestions on how to better set up the site or forums. Or of you want to create tutorials etc..etc.. I will consider everyones ideas but dont take it the wrong way if I dont feel it fits.

im not sure what you mean by that tim. all we were sayin is let someone write a prg. send it to you, and you install it. you control it, noone else.

You dont know the POWER, of the dark side...

Soemone had mentioned mods..But yes if someone wanted to help code a page like that I would be open to using it. The main problem is getting the pics to layout correctly when doing it like I had before where it would show the completed saber as you chose items. I can do it..it just takes a lot of time.

You could just show the separate parts of it; it doesn't have to be all together. Just so people can get the general idea of what they're buying.

Hmmmm...not a bad idea. Can you guys talk it over and see how you would want it to work?

So are we talking a list of parts for basic saber, basic w/sound, basic corbin, corbin w/sound, etc??? or something even simpler like a materials list added to the tutorials?

Maybe something like this:
A list of item names, with one of those little "poll-style" check-circle things next to all the available options. Additionally, the item names would be hyperlinks opening a new window to the item page. It'd start sorta like this:

Type:
<u>LED</u> (picture here, along with a brief explanation)
<u>EL</u> (picture here, along with a brief explanation)

From there, you go to another page, where you select all the available options. Let's say we're dealing with LED for right now.

Blade Color:
o <u>Blue</u>
o <u>Royal Blue</u>
o <u>Cyan</u>
o <u>White</u>
o <u>Red</u>
o <u>Red-Orange</u>
o <u>Green</u>

You get the idea. There'd be a list like this for every available option.


Of course, having an item list in the tutorials would be VERY nice as well. This would just make shopping easier for the casual saber-builder, or one who doesn't have any knowledge of electronics.

Okay, see what you mean. It's almost like a tree directory structure for a tutorial.

It's basically a tree structure, yes. At then end it compiles a list of all the CSS parts you need, and gives you a link to a tutorial.


So... Does it sound doable?
