 September 22, 2007 - 3:16pm | You don't think it's enough that newly created projects show up on the front page of the site and also at the top of the "What's New" page? :-P Yeah - it's not that hard to code a site announcement via PM about a new project being born. And I think I agree with you about not having the option to add people without their permission. I was thinking about theming the input form some... making it more user-friendly like I have the profile edit forms. I can eliminate the sections on user banning and user adding/removing. However, that would eliminate the ability of project managers to remove someone from their project - or ban them. So what about this... 1. Automatically announce newly generated projects (why bother with a checkbox?) 2. Theme the project edit forms and remove the banning and membership lists (they're awkward anyway). 3. When a project manager views his project's Members tab, he already has a special section for generating project announcements. I will put two new icons/buttons/links/whatever on each user in the member list: Cancel User's Membership, and Ban User From Project. Of course these links will only be available to a project manager of that project (or a site referee). Sound good? 3. We wear sungoggles during the day. Not because the sun affects our
vision, but when you're cool like us the sun shines all the time. |

All I wanted to remove was the member add function in the project creation/edit form. I wasn't asking to remove the ban member option, unless you're saying that they're so interconnected that you can't remove one without the other. 1. That's fine. 2. Agreed. 3. That's fine. |

A new project will show up in there until you've visited it. You didn't notice your own new projects show up cuz the act of making them makes you see them - thus it's not new to you when you see the What's New screen. :-P But yes, I put it at the top of the What's New page.All I wanted to remove was the member add function in the project creation/edit form.

I am just saying that if I remove the ability to add users, that removes the ability to remove a user, since it's all one membership list with click/unclick for membership. Besides, it's a bit awkward to do ctrl+click to select/unselect members from a member list (membership list and the banned user list work the same this way). So I thought it would be nice to change things to simpler links in the Member list. 3. We wear sungoggles during the day. Not because the sun affects our

September 23, 2007 - 2:20pm | 1. I themed the project edit page. 2. I added controls to a project's Members tab for canceling or banning user membership. 3. I caused new projects to generate announcements. 4. I added a checkbox in user profiles for those who don't want to be bothered by the announcements. 3. We wear sungoggles during the day.
