Subject: OFF to Alk? Is there a way that MT could have a way of indicating which forum users are currently online?Say you dig someone and ask them for advice a good deal, you could add them to some kind of a contacts list, and then MT forum could show you if they are online. Just a thought... |
| we thought about it some time ago, it is rather typical feature of modern forum engines but mt forum is far from to be typical, and mt engine needs to be upgraded asap, so let's postpone it "до лучших времён". |
| Why not friend them on Facebook/VK/Skype/ICQ/etc? |
|
SirReal some of us dont have FB and other things available at work. :) |
|
Alk, Gotcha. But it would certainly be useful when you are looking for someone specific. |
| SR - no, it is not for a friend, just to know that a person to whom you apply an answer is online now. btw, it is based only on cookies and prone to timeout errors. |
|
I'm just saying, you could add that person to your list of contacts on [insert social network] and ask them privately! Though I can see how it could bother some. Hrm. OK, sure, it would make sense to see whether someone's browsing the forum right now. I've seen it on other websites. |
| Susan, just so you know - I am here 90 % of the working time. ;) |
|
SR yeah, i dont even want a chat thing. I just want something which tells me if they are online and might see a message today instead of in 4 days. |
| And I'd like an online English<->Russian dictionary that responds to queries within seconds - at any time of the day ;) |
| SR, well, Im sure we would all like that |
| SR, there is one already for you and Alk gave the URL for it before - http://alk.pp.ru:8080/c/m.exe?a=5&s=searches |
| You gotta think first of the way to improve the way MT performs todays, which honestly SUCKS |
|
violet_me Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. Apparently it was posted in a thread I wasn't following. I open maybe 10% of all threads here. |
|
x-z Captain Obvious to the rescue! ;) |
|
SirReal lol ^^. I was mad yesterday at'em all! I was not able to get a single entry from MT dictionary. And they talking about some BS on-line status.... |
|
x-z If you read what Alk said, he said that first thing they need to do is "upgrade" the server "asap"; so I think they know they are in deep doodies with their users. And my idea was put on the back burner by them long ago. |
| Guys, I tell you to use this http://alk.pp.ru:8080/c/m.exe?a=5&s=searches! This is not overloaded and is fast! Believe me |
|
Violet_me Sure as heck is! |
| Is it a short ass version of the big MT? |
| x-z, I don't think so. At least, I didn't notice it; and I've been using this version for a week or so, comparing the asnwers of both MTs..no differences revealed. |
| How come there's always an infamous countepart for both the forum and the dictionary instead of one thing working properly?....Looks like palliative measures as a result of...ehhh..... incompetence? |
|
No. The forum and many other sections of a normal MT are not available there. Now I am afraid that the faster version is gonna be attacked by everyone who reads this ''vetka''... |
| x-z - this is demo of intranet mt version adapted to accept external requests, all main dictionaries are synced with big ones |
|
alk Ait I got it. Russian style. |
