This thread is for suggestions in improving the UCPF.

I have a couple suggestions, but I need the opinions of the members here.

1. International category? - What if we added a a international category to provide support in other languages such as German, French, Spanish, etc. This would require also an addition of a new staff with the appropriate moderators for each language. I know Spanish and Latin, so if it's a good idea we can start with that.

[Zelgor]

I feel i can offer my services helping here, since not much more help i can give atm.

I can translate to portuguese any of these 3 languages: English, spanish and French

[Fez]

I think it's a good idea.
Except I only know 2 languages.
English and Jiberish XD

[E_net4]

I lol'd at the jibberish part.
Well, having to translate all these messages would take quite a while.

[kucalc]

Sounds cool, I'll set up the international section right now. Who wants to become a moderator and for what language?

[kucalc]

So, no one wants to be a moderator? I'm thinking about installing a new English moderator. I live on a different hemisphere than most of you guys.

As for ideas for improving the UCPF, no one else has any?

[E_net4]

I, as the most active portuguese person on the forums, would like to help on the moderation for the portuguese language.
...What, too professional? Lesse...
I pwn all portuguese guys out there, so make me mod for tugas, pl0x!

[kucalc]

Lol, cool. I just need you to translate this to Portuguese, "Support for the Portuguese community."

The forum could be divided into more specific sections..?
Maybe something like:

General talk:
- Site news, help and suggestions for improvement.
- Introduce yourself
- General talk
- International help

Software:
- C and C++ development
- BASIC scripts
- Share your code and projects
- Idea discussion

Hardware/embedded systems:
- Calculator hardware
- Assembly programming
- Electronics

[kucalc]

That I'll have to think about.

[E_net4]

Lol, cool. I just need you to translate this to Portuguese, "Support for the Portuguese community."

"Ajuda para a comunidade portuguesa."
You'll have to edit the title yourself, it seems.

@Andreas: Ok, I've been thinking about it. If we split the forums into more categories, would it make the forum more harder to navigate?

@E_net4: Thanks.

@All members: Would you guys be okay if I overlayed the forum with a portal? Specifically this one: http://phpbbireland....orum/portal.php It would make the posting of news possible. With that, I could post news to recognize and give honor to currents projects that current members are working on. It might strengthen the community and get peoples attentions to projects which they may find interesting.

[E_net4]

Hmm, not sure...
But what we definitely need is a cool XD emoticon!

[kucalc]

We do have the cool emoticon. 8-)

[E_net4]

We do have the cool emoticon. 8-)

But I asked for an "XD" emoticon! Is there any problem with it!?

I think it would make it easier if you want to expand later.
A "general discussion" board is also handy to have in each category. Right now, there are not enough members to have many more categories (those I suggested would work ok).

Ohhhh, ok. :oops: I thought you were talking about the "cool" emoticon. If you can find a decent sized pic of a XD emoticon, than I'll be happy to add it.

Good point. Do the rest of you guys concur with this?

Also, speaking of not enough members, we need to get more. I know that there are people out there who own a fx-9860G and would like to program it. It would be awesome to see a great variety of projects going on.

[E_net4]

I've decided to make the emoticon myself, and here's the good result.
It does also fit the theme.

[kucalc]

Cool, it has been added. XD

[E_net4]

I PWN at emoticon makage! XD

Hint: Is there any possibility to have a small picture for each member rank?

[kucalc]

I PWN at emoticon makage! XD

I do have to admit, that is a awesome emoticon.

Hint: Is there any possibility to have a small picture for each member rank?

Yes we could. If you would like to make some, I think the maximum size is 90x90 pixels.

[E_net4]

Indeed, I have to think about the pics. XD

Also: You could have got more creative ranks than just "Member" or "Moderator". How about "TI-Hater" for a person with more than 30 posts? =D

[kucalc]

Lol, ok. I'll have to think about that.

[E_net4]

I'm saying this because many forum makers do it. Also, it'd be neat.
By the way, I'm not sure about the pics, could you hand me a few suggestions?

[kucalc]

Yes, it'd be neat. I'm just thinking about what ranks to have and how many posts.

By the way, I'm not sure about the pics, could you hand me a few suggestions?

Maybe for a TI-Hater, you could have a TI exploding or something.

[E_net4]

Maybe for a TI-Hater, you could have a TI exploding or something.

There. Enjoi. XD

[kucalc]

Lol sweet. :cool:

[E_net4]

I'll be making up a pic for the newbie. Make sure you snap them onto the forums.

Edit: Done. CASIO newbie's done. :mrgreen:

[kucalc]

OMG :shock: You are a master at this!!!

[Fez]

I just came back from around a week of no internet. I came back to a whole load of emoticons that u made. how the hell did u learn to make them? XD

[E_net4]

Well, I just made them using Paint Shop Pro 9. XD
All other stuff was made with it too.
So, is there any TI-Hater?


Also, is there any swear filtering? If so, we also need to filter portuguese and spanish swear words.


EDIT: Forgot to give you another emote.

[kucalc]

I just came back from around a week of no internet.

Hey, welcome back! What happened to your internet?

So, is there any TI-Hater?

Yeah, I added it. You need 30 posts.

Also, is there any swear filtering? If so, we also need to filter portuguese and spanish swear words.

Yes, we do have a swear filtering system. It's the moderators.

EDIT: Forgot to give you another emote.

Thanks, it has been added.

[Fez]

I just came back from around a week of no internet.

Hey, welcome back! What happened to your internet?

It was because my mum had her credit card stolen so we cancelled it. Internet could no longer draw money from it. We phoned up when we got a new card and they reinstated the internet. Only to find out the our modem needs to be reconfigured so we had to phone up the D-Link company so they could guide us through it XD.
It took ages but i have the net again WOOT XD

[E_net4]

Let me introduce my latest invention! The moderator picture!
And please, change "Moderator" to "Moderating Calc".

Something's written in the calc's screen. The first one who finds out the text wins a cookie! XD

[kucalc]

Something's written in the calc's screen. The first one who finds out the text wins a cookie! XD

Lol, cool. Does it say "All Your Base Are Belong To Us"?

[E_net4]

Heh, that was too easy, right? XD
Anyways, here's the cookie. Add it to the emoticons.

[kucalc]

Cool! Just hold on, I'm adding it right now.

Hmmm, what if we had the "Cookie" for a rank (along with Newbie and TI-Hater)...

EDIT: Done. :cookie:

[Fez]

I reckon that would look better if the background was transparent instead of white so it would blend in with the style of all users
