fetch text from other websites

Anonymous — Tue, 29 May 2007 18:20:04 -0000

The problem for non native english users is that BBC is only in englisch. There are a lot of news sites in the world where we could fetch news from and then allow the users to learn to type in their native language.

Just a reminder for textboxes

Rainmaker — Thu, 03 May 2007 01:14:16 -0000

I dunno if this will get implemented as atm it depends mostly on James writing out loads of long articles and I'm sure that he's got lots of work/revision to do like the rest of us, but I still think it might be a good idea.
The end result might not look like a newspaper but it would still look pretty stylish imho.
Anyone have opinions on it and/or ideas on how to get lots of text without having to spend to much time?

Text input string limit

Rainmaker — Wed, 02 May 2007 20:00:20 -0000

Some way of limiting the string length that you can type for textinput boxes like it was done for profile names. When testing the text's width checking code I accidentally typed a huge string and pressed enter in multiplayer and had to taskmanager out of the program :P

The GL panel takes a long time to initialise on some pcs, there should be a loading screen or something...

Old cursor was much better

New one looks rubbish + overlaps certain characters.

Can we have a circle instead of a triangle no Information Box - when the user adds something

Fancy loading screen thing

When are we going to see the fancy loading graphics (2d is acceptable) that you promised in oh, February?

Stats standards

Rainmaker — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 21:59:52 -0000

Where did our idea of having standards go?
eg. if you get > 100wpms, say that you did extremely well, if you get below some average, say that you still need to improve, etc. Could we also do something similar for the progress?

Some kind of alert when first client joins

Chris — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 21:49:16 -0000

You may be hosting a game and waiting for people to join, you may have ntype minimised and not notice that someone has joined, and hence annoy people because you won't start the game.

Maybe some kind of user alert such as a sound could be used.
