Site feature requests
Posted: 10 Aug 2007 12:06 am
I have approximately a month free from now, so if there's anything which people would like added to the site, Subeta or Neopets-related, now is a good time to suggest it. I can't guarantee it'll be added, but it stands a better chance now than if you suggest it in October
Some caveats:
- no forum features. I'm planning to upgrade us to phpBB3 once it's fully released, and adding things to the forum will make that more difficult.
- anything you suggest will be checked to make sure it won't use too much bandwidth; if it does, it'll need to wait a while.
- nothing involving collecting the new images for all the old pets, because I haven't time to find ~1700 images on my own. There is a possibility that I'm going to ask for everyone's help in putting together a list of the URLs, but that's going to come later, since I'm still hoping the Rainbow Pool will solve this problem.
- I don't really want to add the Neopets clothes, because that's going to become difficult to update. The News images don't always show all of even the species-specific clothing, and adding individual images of each bit of clothing will be tedious. This also applies to the Subeta avatar system - I don't want to, say, create an avatar previewer. Other sites do these better already.
And in case anyone's curious, we do have all the old Neopets pose images saved, in case Neopets does delete them from the server, though we're currently not using them because it makes a lot more sense to direct-link them from Neopets right now. So you don't need to suggest that
