How to improve Member's list

[katie hunter]

I've added this to Jira, i personally think members list should take a new approach rather then columns being used every where on the forum.

It is on the list for a change so it can be done. I've been sending few tickets to Jira to renovate few pages like blogs and articles, each of these pages should be unique and act on its own rather than using the same forum style

Same with the header redesign http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-12426

I don't think VB explores many web design options, that is a whole new world. I think they are always focusing on the back-end aspects, so they need assistance with design aspects and ideas.

Here is how profile and media tab should look like:

We've separated this ticket because it needs its own. It needs votes!

Improvement to Media Tab, Gallery and image function

Honestly, I fear you won't find many who still bother to vote. Hardly anyone uses vB5, and most of those once enthusiastic about vB5 have been through the vote-for-it-farce in JIRA for vB4 already.

But good luck anyway (you'll probably need it...)

You're making it sound miserable when it isn't. You don't even have a proper Jira system on XF if that is your intention. And i did get votes on my previous Jira tickets, this ticket was new so it has 0 votes at the moment.

It is not miserable as you'd like to believe to be. I wouldn't even bother posting my ideas and improvements on XF, i won't receive good feedback and I am not fond of the system structure anyways - they are still debating on whether to add a CMS or not. They aren't open for a new vision and they are working with a very conservative mind.

I don't think XF has anything to do with Cellarius' opinion of vB Jira.

For the most part I've lost all interest in reporting anything via Jira. It's just not being used properly. As an example:

I reported a bug in vB5 on December 6, 2012 and had to argue my point to keep it open.

On June 11, 2013 the same bug was reported by someone else.

Today, May 16, 2014 my original report was marked resolved and closed as a duplicate of the one reported after it.

Jira isn't being used properly by vB. The second report in June should have been closed that day (or at least near that date) as a duplicate of my report. Not wait well over a year to do it. But, I've been told it's not who reported it first, it's who participates more. Now that's one heck of a bug reporting system!

And that has happened more than once with bugs I've reported.

I've faced few disagreement with Vb staff when using Jira (some Jira ticket were marked duplicate and were re-open, others were marked trivial when it should be major), it wasn't the end of the world. I am still using Jira for unique ideas and improvements that I want VB to look at and explore, they will look at them because they are new and never were done before.

Also using Jira is better than using nothing and reporting topics on a forum that gets locked or marked duplicate and not properly tracked i.e., XF. There are many like these on XF btw. As for Cellarius, he just came and made it sound that VB 5.x is in a miserable situation . It is not, it needs a push in the right direction.
