cleaning out inactive users with less than X# posts just an idea

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 09:37:46 +0200

Just thought it may be an idea to clean out the forum with users less than a x number of posts

and that haven't been active for over a year. So the accounts don't get abused

and that you'll have more of an overview of the more active users. Just an idea?

New Favicon?

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 15:47:54 +0200

I just created a favicon for sister site Windows-Noob, because I noticed it was still using the default IPB favicon.

Here on the Linux side of things, we've traditionally had a set of favicons for many different distros which would rotate.

While the changing favicon is a cool idea, I like to keep sites in my bookmarks bar and quickly identify and access them by the favicon, and the L-N one does tend to change frequently so it's not as obvious which one it is.

I'd like to suggest moving to a single favicon so the site has a single visual identity when shown in bookmarks bars and so on, so I put together this 'hatch' design (based on the same Creative Commons G2 Tux images used in the header).

What do people think?

thoughts for improving the site..

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 23:04:20 +0200

hi guys,

as most of you know I started this site some years ago to help others learn about linux, it has grown but very slowly,

i think it needs some changes to generate new interest,

I've asked people to write reviews but that was a non-starter, I ended up writing many reviews over the years, but really it needs someone elses opinion and not just mine, I've asked people to post news, but that doesn't seem to happen on a regular basis

I added a blog, no one cared, i updated the site to make it cool, no one cared.. I'm trying but maybe i'm trying the wrong way, so I need your help to guide me to the right way.

so, what can we do to improve things ? tell ME what to do to make this place better, or shall we just be content with 3 or so posts a week...

I would appreciate your thoughts

cheers

20 isn't enough "Early Linux New Year's Resolutions"

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 13:36:51 +0100

www.inatux.com has just posted a new article entitled "20 Early Linux New Year's Resolutions", it's a good read. And it got me thinking, they list 20 excellent "Linux New Year's Resolutions" but why stop where they did? They wrote "Please do comment if you have a Linux resolution suggestion." I think we should fill that page this resolution suggestions and maybe the list will have some sort of impact on the development of the latest Linux distros., couldn't hurt right?

So, GO READ & POST! http://www.inatux.com/reviews/20EarlyLinux...earsResolutions

nVidia petition driver 173.14.15 to be released stable

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 01:14:27 +0100

Currently nVidia seems to be paying more attention to the beta 180.11 driver, which only supports the newest nVidia video cards, when many more people are waiting for a stable 173.14.15 driver to be released. Even I can't use my fairly new MSI nVidia GeForce FX 5200, on Ubuntu 8.10, because the driver doesn't have a stable version that supports the newest Kernel and Xorg.

So please post your name here(and maybe a comment) as sort of a petition to try and get nVidia more focused on the driver that millions of Linux users have politely been doing without.

Posting some of the new GIMP 2.6.1 reviews

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 06:36:00 +0100

There are some pretty awesome new GIMP reviews posted on lots of websites now, like inatux.com. linux.com, etc., I think it would be a good idea to post like links to all these reviews so that the people looking to update will be able to find a long list of reviews they can read before doing so.

Headings With Capital Letters

Mon, 07 Jan 2008 17:08:19 +0100

IMO changing the forum headings to use upper and lower case would make a huge difference to how the forums are presented, at the moment the forums look like user posts and some of the titles should be shortened with the descriptions underneath, would look a lot better if they looked like this:

News

Linux News

Hello

General chat

Polls

Site Look And Feel, Suggestions, Problems, Whatever.. <-- shorten this

About To Start Using Linux... <-- shorten this

Kernel Related

etc..

Love it, Hate it...let me know. All comments are welcome.

time?

Fri, 31 Dec 2004 12:51:41 +0100

Is the time right on the forums?

When it says it is 12:48 on the forums it says on my computer 12:07.

It may just be me but i do look at the time users post and it would be helpful to know when they were posted exactly.

Thanks

MAC?

Fri, 17 Dec 2004 15:09:59 +0100

How about a mac section?

I don't have a MAC but I have just bought an airport extreme which i am running of Windows and I thought this site may attract more visitors?

IRC

Fri, 16 Jul 2004 16:44:59 +0200

Anyweb, i was thinking that it would be a great idea to allow people to connect to Efnet/#linux-noob from the forum/website. I really don't know what you would use to accomplish this project, but am sure that it would create more traffic and users in the channel!!
