This was in response to the "shop suggestion" for PBv5.


Me:
"14 - Shop/Store (Points System). Quite simple. Have some form of shop and/or points system where you can donate points to people, or from the shop you can purchase items that staff have added there, for example: formatted name (bold, italic, etc).. and much more stuff."


Patrick:
"We already have custom user storage that you can use for shops"


Smangii:
"Shops that include points?"

Me:
"What he said and so can we set it up so people can buy from the shop, donate points and so on?
I will say it just for better explanations: like the other hosts shops.. Anything as good?"


Patrick:
"I would have to speak with you guys some more in terms of *exactly* what you want to be able to do, but we do want to ensure that you can implement complex features like this."

---

So, in response to Patrick's last quote, what exactly do we want from a shop?
Obviously:


General Users / Staff:
- To be able to donate points.
- Buy items from the shop (bold names etc).
- Withdraw or Deposit to a bank.
- Unlock items by rank or post count.
- Sell items back for half the amount bought for.


Staff Only:

- Add new items.
- Disable items.
- Limit items.
- Change prices of items.
- Set interest rate per daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly basis.

Other:

- Auctions
-- Set minimum bid for item / Buy It Now price.
-- people can bid on auctions



Shop purchase would be automated, so you buy your item(s) and then you get it instantly or almost so. Staff wouldn't manually have to give each user their item(s).



Umm.. ??

Chris, Josh, anyone else..
you guys have great memories. Can you remember if PBS said that they WOULD or might introduce a shop/store or points system?


I can remember it being talked about several times. I'm sure they said that it would at least be a possibility.
Either way though I have suggested it. lol

Lol yeah. But some of my ideas are definitely great.
I hope the #11 suggestion is applied. Go look on PBS, it's on the second page =D

Link or it didn't happen. Got it myself.


Also, apparently the achievements aren't going to be editable. So you can't add your own or anything. Does anyone know if this is true or not?

haha yeah, that's what I have said to people.
Also, I may be the only one to dislike this, but the quote layout is horrible:

Ok so yeah that's 2 features that are good, but that are both outdated.
Threaded PM's
Multiquotes

I don't think so no.
Hope not, that'd be much worse.
(maybe, hopefully, it will have a disable function for it... somewhere. Anywhere tbh.)

I created a new thread on PBv5 forum right, just to click the UBBC to test stuff etc.
I didn't create the thread, I simply clicked back to the Main Page, now I went to create a new thread again and:
i53.tinypic.com/27zlwkw.jpg

That will get annoying as hell.

I have never come across anywhere doing it until here.





I agree on all of that. However, the nav tree thing, I think is something you just have to get used to.
I do like the multiquote though (alt+click the posts you wanna quote, then select quote).

I'm in and there is so much I dislike about V5 so far.
Did they steal the achievements idea from you guys?

I don't have my invite yet.


Edit:
Unless it's gone in my junk folder and I have deleted it.
But I doubt so.. Anyone fancy giving me the link? The PM system on here is amazing. =D

Everyone will use it at first, but then the novelty will wear off.
Although, it may not since it means not having to get someone to design you an avatar. So avatar requests at places will stop. The only people who wont use it, or shouldn't, are designers.

How's the whole stupid avatar system that no one will use?
