Scavenger hunt:: Forum Suggestions
0@Shawn is doing an AWESOME job at updating the forums, I think he'd make a great goat... except he's useful... unlike the goats.. who just usually waste our time...
Here's the next hunt... Give @shawn suggestions.
@Shawn feel free to tell us they are shit and you're not going to do them.
Cue @Barney saying purple....

i'm just going to say it even though i don't care about it.
Pagination.
@carl669 seriously?
@shawn - I'll speak up in opposition - really don't want pagination. Especially with all of your recent tweaks, it's not needed.
@KDemo which means the next comment here is going to be "just make it an option"
@shawn Actually it would be nice on Mobile... When its a fuku reveal thread it crashes my safari... or it just never loads the pictures...
@shawn not seriously for me. i just know someone else is going to mention it, so i figured i'd just beat them to the punch.
@carl669 Cue @phatm..... Thought I was going to do it didn't you? Nope.
@shawn -heh. Is that possible? If not, you're never going to please everyone on this issue. I thought pagination would be less relevant with the multiple options to hide comments.
@carl669 pagination?????? Goddamit caaaaaaarl WTF? See what you have done????? Did you see:
https://meh.com/forum/topics/forum-updates#56055df6310fa67c0b52a54c
I don't care if you were kidding. It happened.
@mfladd well... shit. at least it's just an option.
@carl669
Option 1 No pagination
Option 2 Blame fucking Carl
Option 3 Select Both Options 1 & 2 X (checked)
:)
@mfladd i don't know why, but the tune of 'Interjections!' from schoolhouse rock popped into my head.
Pagination!
Makes pages
On a forum.
They're generally used to break apart
really long, forum threads.
@carl669 I will help you with "interjections", lazy butt!
I'd be more inclined to ask for a payment/address update option in user accounts. Would eliminate at least 2-3 threads a month of people asking if they can just update their cc info.
The forums work and look wonderfully - especially with all of the new toys.
@Thumperchick I agree... That and saving different addresses... I usually get stuff sent to work... but I'd like to have a drop down Work Home if I wanted to send something home instead... Who knows maybe Meh will sell something I don't want work seeing?
Personal messages!
And group messages!
@kadagan Personal messages would be AWESOME!
@sohmageek What they said.
@kadagan Would be nice for sharing skypes, email addresses, etc... instead of having to post them for all the webz to see.
@thismyusername is this What you mean? :)
@sohmageek no I am voting for good ol private messages.... you know, so we can message, privately!
Official meh.com fantasy football! football.horse!
@kadagan Hey! don't be hat'in on us unmehficial type leagues!
beer.horse ffs!
@marklog Someone (you?) determined that beer.horse has already been taken. I have a new proposal: horse.beer!
@brhfl That started an earworm: 'My horses ain't hungry, they won't eat your hay'...
All this white space needs to be filled with seizure-inducing gifs.
@darksaber99999 Dancing babies and hampsters!!! And more blinking text!
and flying toasters!
@Barney is busy. She sends her minions to say 'MOAR PURPLE', plus text color options.
@OldCatLady You are so sweet. I'm trying to catch up, but everyone here on the forum, talks too much.
Edit: I'd like purple stars.
@Barney
@PSUClaus1 Yes!
What about the opportunity/capabilities of earning new badges?
I mentioned this in the mediocre forum (because meh was unresponsive at the time), but cross-posting here cuz the goat commands it.
The site needs a "night mode". There is way too much white space up in this beeotch. When I'm in bed with my wife just trying to browse meh, she's all, "I'm trying to friggin' sleep here. Your phone is too bright and you're too sexy! Turn that shit off." (or something like that) Even with my screen brightness all the way down, the meh forums light up the night. Maybe our room is just too dark...
Any way, there needs to be an option to invert the background and text colors. Black background with white text. Easier on the eyes and won't wake up the ol' battle ax next to me. Maybe call it "stealth mode" or something funnier than "night mode". Save my marriage and make it happen.
Stalking mode... or Camping or whatever you want to call it... So... Example we get a @mention e-mail... Why not If @mediocrebot says something we subscribe to @Mediocrebot or
Stalk @hollboll
Camp on @JonT
something like that? :)
@@goat Where it fills in the goat with an @mention. Makes it so we can care EVEN LESS about who the goat is... but still make sure they get their
punishment/painDues!@sohmageek I like that one. And all future goats can blame @sohmageek for it!
@sohmageek Long long ago I registered @goat here. (I used a spare email address.) I've mentioned occasionally that the Meh team is welcome to take it away for forum and community type stuff, but I don't think that's happened yet. But anyone at Meh (hi @JonT) is welcome to do that. (The username starts with b, ends with d, and is 15 letters long with my first name and where I am, with that place name being a vaguely gothic-y, Dark Shadows kind of name that includes the name of a bird. That should be specific enough so that any Meh people who look would know I'm not pranking.)
VMP access to live webcam in Meh HQ. Doesn't have to include audio. Doesn't have to have pan/tilt control. Doesn't have to be pointed at anything special. Just a live feed from somewhere in Meh HQ we can access 24/7. Access to the cam page could be a link under the VMP link at the top.
@medz That's so wrong on so many levels. Say you see rats crawling around at 0434; what are you going to do? More to the point, how will Meh function while the office is shut down for extermination? Of course, if they elect to set traps and go home, you could watch some very messy video. In my last workplace, we set 6 traps four nights in a row, same area, and caught 24 rats. True story.
@OldCatLady That would be awesome. I'd take screenshots and name them after meh staffers.
I worked the nightshift at Walmart for 6 months freshman year o' college. There was a giant pack rat living/feasting in the dog food aisle somewhere. Would scare the crap outta you when you saw it. They eventually caught him, but that sucker was smart.
