Suggestions, Comments and Support

I see there is no environmental science sub forum. I think it would be a good place to discuss our collective future and hopefully inspire some interesting debates on renewables and what to do about CO2 as well as terraforming and geophysics. Just a thought, not sure where it would live though, maybe general science? Also, as a side note (not sure if you guys have the bandwidth to implement it) having the last few posts of a thread displayed in reverse order under the advanced reply box, may help avoid people misrepresenting/misunderstanding things they thought they read.

Why are there so many "Registered User"s intstead of the normal title tree?

If you are getting script errors on every page, or can't get ot the forums (or more likely, know of someone else who can't), you need to ttake the following action: - Clear your browser's cache. - Delete all SFN cookies (there are a few) - Close browser - Try again

What about a technology forum, i know that there is an egineering forum but, it has been used to comment about stuff, my real suggestion, is about proyects, like water rockets, but thinking about proposing things that may be usefull. The main reason, is that i have been seing, that we talk about this and that, argue and stuff.. but.. why dont build something that can let us make something more usefull and productive. apart from the jokes section. For example i have been seem the lastest Dave posts, and he gives nice stuff on math to think about... then why dont do the same about technology. Well it is only a suggestion.

When you delete a post/thread, could you PM the person that wrote the post/thread to tell them which post/thread and why it was deleted?

How about it? That way users can post links to ebay auctions and stuff. Although I would recommend a minimum post count before you can post there.

Where wuold I post a thread about Terraforming?

Can some people (cough yourdadonapogos cough) USE PROPER SPELLING, PUNCTUATION, AND GRAMMAR?! IS THAT TOO MUCH FOR YOU? I MEAN, THIS IS A FORUM FOR INTELLIGENT PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please?

I was told that string theory was not to be used to explain anything on SFN. Why is that?

I was just thinking, as I posted my last thread, why isnt there an optics section under Physics. It could be used for discussing...hmmm...optics, and such. lol

Is it down, or has it been taken out on purpose through misuse of it?

cos theres plenty of them in the other threads. why not leave them alone and do all the cussing and swearing in here. that would be great. we could have the sci vs religion flame war.

just to make some parodies of popular threads and generally piss taking. or is that the stuff for GD

As I poked around another forum, I noticed something. On that forum, many users get titles from the admin, things like "Top Poster 2003" or "Top Spammer 2003" or even "Top Waffler". I thought maybe it would be nice to spice things up a bit around here by giving out more of them, and not just to bad people. You could give out "Top Psuedoscientist" titles, or perhaps "Mr. Know-It-All". Or, if a user hit a certain amount of posts, he could get a title. A few suggested titles: 1. Swansont should get one, for always knowing the answer. 2. Tesseract, for posting even though he has no clue what the answer is. 3. ExtraSense, for obvious reasons. ("Martian Believer") 4. a…

If you take a look at the member list, you'll notice that out of just over 2000 members, 642 of them have not posted at all, and quite a few haven't logged on since they registered. Then there are loads more with less than 5 posts. It probably is annoying when you register, to have register form tell you that your name is already in use by someone who never posted. So I propose this: Members that have not logged in for six months (or some other length of time), and have 5 (or some other number) or less posts, should be deleted. The terms might be changed, you could warn them, but I think it would help let new members have a name they wanted, not some odd thing as a la…

Perhaps you could add a section of the forum that could be for those non-english speaking among us. You could advertise it on the front page so they wouldn't be turned away by all the English. And if you are wondering how to moderate it, you might just recruit multi-lingual members to moderate it. I think this is a great way to have more members and let more people use this site, 'specially since it's better than the other ones I've seen.

could we have a Plant Physiology subsection in Biology, it would be better than just putting it under general bio all the time, it is after all 50% of all bio, Animal being the other 50% it seems a bit too important a catagory not to be present, or at least absent from the description of what goes into what Forum. Cheerz

I remember a while back faf made a thread about how we broke the one day record for posts (300 and something). It was in the announcements where I can't post though so I created a new thread. How many posts are we getting these days? Have we broken the record by any chance?

I just looked at sciforums.com, to see the difference, and while they have over 9,000 members, they stink. Not a very good discussion around there, not well moderated, etc. etc. In other words, keep up the good work!!! (and, get more dedicated members!)

Just wondering really 'cos I've not spotted 'em yet.

I think it would be popular.

I am an Musicoholic. I would love to discuss certain aspects of music. such as composition , performance and interpretation. the subtelties of jazz and classical music. It would also be a good place to open your own mind and others mind to different genres. For instance I have quite got into DnB and UK garage lately. we could also talk about our fav pieces of music as well as share our playlists. and if this forum is ok with sharing music, we can put links up to good torrents.

i started a new topic on the third of june in the biology section... anyone know where it went? thnx

Can team debates be made? or at least More than 2 persons debating on a challenge.. because there can occur things like the evolution debate, where for example evolution hypothesis can be supported by other arguments than the ones that cpt said in that case a third person would remark this perhaps. Although it can reach to be a chaos instead of a debate by the people debating. It would be nice to think about it.

It's an absolute must for a vB science or maths forum for Html to be turned on in order to make equations more readable.
