Bit unnecessary don't you think? I also suggest you remove the swearword before you're banned.

What's unnecessary? and what swear word? :confused:

I just didn't waste my time explaining why they're crap ideas. But now I will explain.

: Where possible maybe on the systems that OcUK build? remove the still "enlarge image" option and replace with 360° image

EDIT: i understand what you mean now, but the images OcUK use are stock images provided by the manufacturer, they don't take their own photos AFAIK.

: Be able to start a poll the forums

People will start spamming with useless polls. The polls we have now by request are actually useful.

: Be able to filter power supplies by their Watts
Click to expand...
This is sort of already available, just sort it by price, as price/wattage is pretty much correlational.

: Possibly be able to filter products by release date?
Click to expand...
It'll be a hard task manually finding each product's release date and adding it to the database.

:And last but not least... maybe have an online instant messaging support
system or better still a live support system.

I don't think they'll waste money on a team of live support technicians, they already have the forums and it's much more economical. If you're having trouble you can phone or leave a webnote.

What's up with all the wannabe admins jumping on this person? They made other points apart from the radio station. We see people all the time saying can you just go to X website and vote for me, this isn't really much different, where did the OP say it was one of their business interests? And where did they say it was for their own financial gain? To me I took it at face value and it doesn't seem that unreasonable, it certainly didn't warrant some of the abusive comments, but then some people are just plain rude and it underlines the pack mentality that sometimes engulfs these forums.

For what it's worth I think that the subscription box, the 360 image addition and the sorting options were sensible suggestions.

thak you ! i too think they are good, i mean its just more pratical for the buyer to narrow his/ her search. And for the 360 image thats just a leap forward and will give buyers a much better feel for what they intend to buy. Its a lot of money, let them have a good look in my opinion :)

thank you, i wont quote your whole message :) now, allthough i dont agree with it all, i see and respect your view, maybe you have some good ideas? i mean nothing is ever spot on is it?
 
Sorry for my bluntness dude. That was due to me thinking you were stealth advertising.

I'll be 100% honest... Because you're a new member, it seemed like your motive was to advertise that radio station, and this "improvement" stuff was just a cover up. I have now read your other threads and I don't think that's the case. :)

This is the most obvious stealth advertising thread I have seen in recent times and I am frankly shocked it hasn't been locked/deleted.

Its obvious what the OP is doing. Good intentions or not, its against the rules.

Advertising of any kind.

'No promotion of business interests You may not promote any website or business you have a financial or other interest in, or use the popularity of this community to help build one of your own. The forums are here to allow people to freely share knowledge, not provide them with personal financial gain, or free advertising.'
 
As far as their OP goes it doesn't say that they are doing it for business purposes of their own gain or building their own business / website, it just says if a certain amount of people show interest then it'll carry on as it already is, otherwise it's going down. We've had people before saying go onto such and such website / Facebook group and vote for me so I can win a competition involving prizes cash or otherwise. It's only a radio station, there's tonnes of them around, I don't get what your major beef with it is?

The OP has even stated on several occasions to forget about the radio thing if it's a problem and just concentrate on the other points made but certain people (not yourself) have just decided to disregard and post one liners that offer nothing to the thread. If the OP is only 17 years old, which they claim, then personally I think they have a decent attitude considering some of the replies here, if this is the way all new members are treated then I'm surprised many new members stick around for very long.
 
My main point is, I have seen plenty of other threads much like this one immediately shot down.

Just because the OP who is advertising (in some form) has included some (bad) site suggestions, that does not give it the right to stay where others would be deleted.

If the mods think it is ok and can stay then fair enough, but to me it just read like generic advertising spam with a cherry on the top.

Fair enough you're entitled to your opinion. If I was the OP I would just remove the first part of the post but otherwise I don't think the suggestions are stupid.

i hope that the mods dont just take it down, if they inform me first, gladly ill remove the first part but im not selling anything. Im not inviting anyone to join Facebook or Twitter..... why he cant understand and post comments like i have asked i will never know, its people like him which makes the point of this thread pointless :(
