Superfly Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hey everybody, As you might have seen, here, TDN is doing a SUPER CONTENT UPDATE WEEK! If you read that news topic you will get a general explination of what all we are doing. Feel free to post in this topic, or the news topic with suggestions or just random things you'd like to see updated and we'll try to get it done! The more we update, the better the site is for all users. Thanks for your support though everything! TDN Staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HBK Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Ah, thanks for the update, TJ. And all the staff too, of course. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie_Penguin Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Thank you for the updates! I was wondering if maybe you could add like a Quick Links section for ourselves? Sometimes I find it very difficult to find Faerie Quests, etc. Especially in the Battledome Section. So maybe create a special feature where we can customize quick links or update your Search engine. Also your Advent Calendar from previous years needs an update. I don't remember which year (I think it's 2005), but whenever you click on the Day you get a Sign-In window.

So, you are sort of referring to a custom dailies list basically? Or a page where you can just create your own favorite links and just use it and have the ability to edit it? As far as the advent calendar goes, that's on TNT's end, we sadly have no control over it. :( So, just click cancel or whatever the option maybe and and everything still should load properly. :yes: Can you go into more specific details about the search engin request?

Yea, I don't know if it's possible to make. Like a Page where you can go and customize your own dailies for TDN (not Neopets) and then unless you delete your cookies, it will still be there when you go back to that page. Or something similar to that. As for the Search Engine. Last time I used (when the Kalium Echo plot came out) I was searching for Illusen's quest, but I only got a full list of articles so it was really frustrating to look for it. Maybe you can make it so that the most popular or most useful links will be at the top of the list? For example, the Quest page link first, the Avatar list, etc...

Oh, so like a special list for TDN pages. ;) Sadly, I'd have to recommend your favorites. :P I'll talk to Ian about the search engine though. I agree when you search something broad it brings up like every single page in the system. Maybe we can have something in the ACP where the staff member that creates the page puts key words in that could be searched for that page and then if the keyword matched those pages would be put at the very top. ;) I don't know, that's Ians area of expertise.

Strategos Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Something's striking me as odd. I see this mention of a battledome content area everywhere, yet I can't find a link to it on TDN anywhere. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfly Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 It's not released yet. Shhh, you know *nothing*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hmm... this seems like an assignment for some spy drones. :evil: Isn't it great to have a team of hardworking staff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something? errr....what mention? :* I stil don't really get the search engine suggestion...do you mean like add an "advanced search" onto TDN? That would be cool. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfly Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Zac, say you search the words "Neopets Layouts". You get the following.... (all on one page) About 269 results found for Neopets Layouts in avatars (scroll down for page results). and .... after scrolling ..... all. the. way. down. About 473 results found for Neopets Layouts in pages. Now, tell me the article you were looking for is going to be right on top? =D The reason this is, is because the system searches though all the words within the articles (i think), therefore any word with "Neopets" and "Layout" (or both) are displayed as results. :( Now, if we integrate keywords, the real "Neopets Layouts" page would have "Neopets Layouts" as a keyword and then it would automatically appear at the top, with maybe only a few select articles that are similar to it. The Grumpy Old King Game Guide has NOTHING to do with Neopets Layouts, and as you can see, it was result #114 on the long list of articles. Understand?

Zac Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 cant you put the exact phrase you want "in quotes" so the database searches for the WHOLE phrase only? Or is TDN's database enabled to do that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Yep, if you put it between quotes, less results are showing! :) *gives brownies to Zac* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 yay! *munches on brownies* And for your information, Mikey, I am NOT prone to panicking! <_< Kids these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
