Question

~Multiple Suggestions/Bugs!~ [ New updated 02.26.13 | Number 14 ]

1) So in some cases, I've asked a question with multiple people helping me to understand it... Normally I would fan one and give the other one a medal. But I find this highly distasteful, so I purpose a new system of where one person gets to give three medal per question instead of one or something among those lines.
Example: http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/50f3a65fe4b0abb3d8702fac

2) [BUG] When uploading a .jpg or image file other then .png the contrast of the images becomes horrible.

3) There need to be a set amount of time that, when a question is open for like say 1 to 2+ months and no replies are returned should be closed automatically.

4) People need to state there source. Especially in the History section, people copy and paste 100% from Wikipedia.

5) Create a delete all button for your inbox :3. Or simply make it more efficient.

6) [BUG] People tend to be offline. But are yet show in the online list on the right hand side of the screen.

7) Give us an invisibility status setting. C'mon don't we all hide a online status at some point?

8) In Chrome this is the only browser that does this, when you use the chats... They never automatically scroll down. The scrollbar just stays in one place.

9) Add a Google +1 button.

10) This may or may not help with the site speed but, after like maybe 30 minute or and 1 hour of no activity the person stops receiving live updates.

[Additions]
11) When I am editing a picture and experimenting with it, I tend to save it with the same file name. So if, say, I upload my picture (let's call it foo.png), and I edit it, and upload it again on the same page, it doesn't start uploading. Minute problem, but still...

12) I also thought that if we wanna increase the database space, the unanswered questions that have remained inactive for a year should get deleted. :-)

13) Add an "export to .txt button" so I can export those helpful posts are download them to my computer :)

14) Add a section for Japanese. There's already one for Spanish. I think there should be a subject for Japanese too.

Answer 4

Okay. Added :D

Answer 5

I agree with the status thing! I hate when certain people know I'm online. It makes me not want to come on here so I can avoid them

Answer 6

1.This system of giving multiple medals per question was removed because many users tried to misuse it by giving away medals between themselves

4.But I think in math section this rarely happens .Besides this is seen very less in group excluding history group.

6.I agree.... Many of the users ,including me have pointed this out and admins said they are looking into it .

7.Well thats an interesting idea but that can at times give askers the impression that no one is online to help them ,or something like that .

8. Nice spot :) I think that bug needs to be taken care of

9 ) thumbs up !

11) good idea :)

Answer 7

verrrrry good :)

Answer 8

4. Please report anyone plagiarising by copying and pasting other peoples' work as abuse. Results in very harsh suspensions...

Answer 9

I never knew that was bad :O^^^

Answer 10

^^ Plagiarism and academic dishonesty are very bad. All copied and pasted material (i.e., anything that isn't your own work) must be cited by posting a link to where it came from.

That said, even though properly cited copied and pasted material will avoid warning/suspension, it's not so good in that tutors sometimes post material they don't themselves understand and are no help to the person they are trying to help who doesn't understand it either.

Answer 11

Completely support Blues. I think many teens do not know about plagiarism. We have to educate them. *Sigh*

Answer 12

So you're on board for a Japanese section?

Answer 13

actually, I was talking about Preetha's comment, but I guess a Japanese section wouldn't hurt, although all I'd do in there is... wait, I wouldn't do anything in there.

Answer 14

You could learn basic Japanese phrases ^_^.

Answer 15

I'm already trying spanish, and another language would probably throw me off right now.

Answer 16

Oh well. @andriod09
Show support for a Japanese section ^_^.
