If you could have ANYTHING you wanted here at MM...

Would be cool to have like a tally of how many lucid dreams have been recorded on the site and have the number posted as a headline somewhere, like "55 lucids and counting!" or something.

I like the LD counter and the chat ideas.

What I think is a necessity, though, is a better layout.

This is rather bland, and strains my eyes.  Something with some color variety and fluid buttons and layouts.

A think a web-based IRC chat such as CGI IRC would be a cool and plausible idea. Save people the trouble of having to download and configure mIRC - there are undoubtedly some members who have more lucid savvy than tech savvy .

[Tyrant]

That would be cool; like some kind of counter you click on whenever you have a lucid dream?

You can do something along those lines with http://www.joesgoals.com/ . I use that website for keeping track of regular goals, but you can also use it for keeping track of lucid dream count. I tried it for keeping my LD count but I stopped after I got frustrated with a dry spell.  :'(

I don't think there's a way to post the results for everyone else to see though.

We could definitely use a real multi-quote button. When I catch up on several pages in a thread and want to respond to posts on multiple pages, well, the number of posts available to you for multi-quoting seems to be very limited so it's not the most convenient thing in the world. I end up having to do a lot of C&P'ing (or just decide it's not worth it).

Actually, the multi-quoting here is really elegant and very functional.  In the Quick Reply, just click quote, fill in your text, then click on the next quote you wish to add.  If you are using the Reply page as I am doing now, you do the same thing.  Like right now, I'm going to go down the page and click the next thing to reply to...

Agreed.  You might try some of the other available skins - just go to Profile and then click on Look and Layout preferences.  There are a couple really nice choices there, with Black22 gaining popularity.

We have much more in the works as far as organization and appearance.

This sounds like a very workable option.  I'm going to add looking into it to my real-world To Do list.

Perhaps not - but it is an interesting way to tally and may serve as a help in making that Lucid Counter a reality.  That seems to be a really popular dream... and it is certainly something that would be completely unique.  That makes it all the more a very worthy goal.

True but, the problem comes in when you try to quote from a previous page as well. I can multi-quote this one page all day long. I can't find a way to change pages (looking for another post I want to quote) without losing what's already entered. So I have to save it all to clipboard, change pages, quote that, paste what's in clipboard... Rinse, lather repeat.

Unless I'm missing something.

Are you using just the Quick Reply or going to the Reply screen?

Have you noticed that you can now re-sort in the Reply screen, by the way?

I've tried "quick reply", clicking the quote tab in a given post and the "reply" button. But, now that you mention it, reply does give you more posts to choose from. But you still can't go all the way back.

Have you noticed that you can now re-sort in the Reply screen, by the way?

I see there's a sort by last/first thing. But it still only provides the same range of posts.

Oh well, I'll live with it. If you ever do find something that will provide the multi-quote button like vB has it would be mucho appreciato'. That way you can flip through the pages, mark all the ones you want to quote then go to the reply screen and it's all there for you.

Ok - now I get you.  We'll add it to our watch list.

Thank you for your patience in getting this one through to me, GH.

[StephenT]

Oh... so that's what that multiquote thing did at DV.  I had clicked it many times, but didn't know what it did, and never used it. 

That would have made so many posts so much easier. 

Also, I'll be an ambassador for Texas if you'd like.   It could count as a country. 

[Kastro187420]

Anyway to get the "Active Users" list to sort alphabetically?

[pj]

Need to ask Raklet that one - I don't imagine it would be too hard.

[Oneironaught]

Just a brief comment on that: make sure that - if you're going to use the re-sort - you do it first. Or else you'll lose anything you've already entered into the reply field because it reloads the page as well.

[pj]

Thanks for the word on that!

We've found a solution to the mutli-quote problem, GH.  Just need to implement it and try it out.

Or if you want to quote from both ends....type something in the reply, highlight and copy it, re-sort the topics, then paste and continue.
