Suggestions for the new PaGaLGuY Chit-Chat

Report

Hello again :)
Since the new site has been launched, we're working furiously to fix stuff and generally to keep things in order. I understand this is a huge change for all of you, but give it a week or two and you'll start getting used to and may be even appreciating the new one.
For folks ...

@[402778:ps25] any AV on your system? FF AVG safe search extn etc?

does it crash when you are pasting something into the text-editor ??? or just typing ?

the issue is not reproducible always. FF crashes and restarts (asks me to send report to firefox) intermittently but always when pagalguy website is open and i am adding reply to some thread.

Err. see the above two posts, I made em thru FF, similar Win edition. I'll see what sort of logging can help fix this. Does it show any error before browser gives up life?

Windows 7 Enterprise edition, x64 , you can PM me for any logs or any data you want me to gather which may help you debug the issue.
Thanks

Test post. FF 13.0.1/Win7 Direct login

Test post. FF 13.0.1/Win7

@[402778:ps25] OS?

Not really. I have been using FF 13.0.1 since long time without much issues. The crash happens only when pagalguy is open in FF and many times when I try to post by clicking "Add Reply". This happened 4-5 times so far.

Search optimization will happen in a couple of months.
Yep, this too is on the cards. Hope to do a much better implementation than before

Yep, the whole mod system needs some work. We'll get to streamlining it in a week or two after the critical bugs are taken care of

@[402778:ps25] any one else with a crashing FF 13.0.1 ? Could it be any FF extension?

Hi.When I search in PG & get a list of threads, it would be more helpful if i can see which threads I am already following.Also, the green signal indicating an online user should be restored.

@[1:pagalguy]
Hi,
Firefox repeatedly crashes with new @[1:pagalguy]. I have firefox version 13.0.1
Anyone else facing the problem?

I have a suggestion for PG, please go back to your old self .

@[1:pagalguy] i was thinking that there was a missing feature of showing post edits time stamp when any one / mods edit an existing post.

@[1:pagalguy] it's 13.0.1.(up to date).
Don't get confused with the taskbar..i do not prefer visual effects.

@[553443:MojoJojo1504] which version of FF is this? @[345617:sonnes]

Sirs please change this depressing grey to some other colour.
Add some option to increase or decrease font size according to user's suitability.
When we open the emoticons then after using one, we have to again open that box.(I guess it's not done this way to reduce the similie usage )

May be the user is talking about a SO like system in the QA area

you may be talking about polls ???

If we do plus, you'll say it feels like 'adding to favorites' :mg:

@[1:pagalguy]: how about changing the minus sign to a plus sign , because i also had the impression that it was for minimising the post.

1 1

I have subscribed to threads where they post Qs. And i usually browse thru them on my mobile (gmail..I guess this is gone now?) every morning in office. But it gets v confusing as to who commented what. Could u add a feature so that when someone posts a Question, the answer option appears right n...

We can edit our posts.. On right hand top of your post you will see a minus button .. click on that then you will see the edit option..

1 1

@[550920:Aakhri.Jang] you can edit. Hover on your post, see the minus button.

Why can't I edit my posts? We urgently need that feature in new Pagalguy. Because without that feature some popular threads like 'Mock score repository' etc are invalid.
#NEED PG TECH TEAM'S ATTENTION

How to go to a particular page in a thread ?? Say i want to read the 700th post in a thread.. how to reach there directly ?

@[8964:deepu]

Press Shift+Enter to add a new line.

we will start work on that soon. also thinking about restoring the formatting in quotes.

@[8964:deepu] and @[1:pagalguy] This one mentioned should be an A one priority for the reasons cited "People who had posted answers by bolding the text in quotes will find their bolded text in normal font in quotes and it will be impossible in English thread to know which options are answers ...

Just made the posts more readable by updating the design and style. Let us know how it feels

i see that string in every result. make sure you are searching by keeping the query within the quotes. if you don't put the quotes around the query then you will get some rubbish results.

Is there an option to 'Search this thread'in the new version of PG..I did not find it anywhere..that was a useful tool and I suggest that be included in this new version of PG..
Thanks,
Tanmay.

but did u see the string "find the number of zeros in the product: 1^1" anywhere within those results.?? this question is there in many threads..i saw them before...

i searched "find the number of zeros in the product: 1^1" and it showed 0 threads and a bunch of posts.
in the threads tab click on the posts tab. it will show you all relavent results. clicking on any result took me to the proper page/post.
can you do the same and report the exact problem...

lets say the input string is "find the number of zeros in the product: 1^1"...it returns only forum names..not the exact page where that post resides. The full question is : find the number of zeros in the product: 1^1*2^2*3^3*4^4*...98^98*99^99*100^100.
plz help

no it searches the forum posts also.
PM me the exact string you searched for and will check what is happening

ya..but its not that intrinsic as before..i mean when i had to search for a particular question in which i had doubt, search results were more specific. It used to search within forums and i used to catch hold of that particular question in seconds ...But now it only matches the input string wit...

@[590003:taruniim] the search is working - am I missing something?

please enable search facility ASAP. Its a basic necessity and searching threads & users on our own is a waste of time....plzzz..its a humble request to implement search at minimum possible scale , if not on a massive scale so that we can continue at least something..CAT takers have barely 2-3 mon...

Posted this in another thread, but since this is the repository...

You're talking about the prep app. It will come back in a week :)

I cant find the topics under "mba prep in india" (which were there earlier) and gave the answers to various topic questions instantaneously. It also indicated the number of people marking that particular answer and a timer was also there to check the time taken. Has it been incorporated?

Interesting. So are we now allowing users to delete their posts too? I have obviously grayed, so forget it if this is a repeat :p
Also, again, been a while, but MG feels smaller (and younger!)..
Overall, I think there are several very good improvements. :mg:

yep. makes sense. we will work on it once the critical issues are fixed.

@[171717:PearlCrystal] nice idea this

A suggestion to ease browsing:
1. When I click on "Mba Forums", it shows subtopics such as "Exam based / .../ The Lounge"
2. When I click on "The Lounge", it shows subtopics such as "Chit Chat / ... / Touching Lives"
Would it not be better to just let me see the subtopics as I hover the ...

yep. @[375852:abhimanyu_] must have deleted it himself cause i didn't :D

@[8964:deepu] in your 2nd reply, you had quoted abhimanyu_ however their is no post from abhimanyu visible in this thread... does that mean the post has been deleted??
:banghead:

Nope. Single line sigs with no jhingalala :mg:

Hi..I think there is no way to find out if a fellow puy is online (old version used to show a green dot against the name)..It would be great if you can incorporate that in the new version..
Thanks,
