I think the site is GREAT! I really appreciate all of the hard work you & jimmyjoe have put into it :drink1

One thing that I have seen on another board (an ikonboard) is the option to have the latest reply to a thread you are following be included in the body of the e-mail notification. That would be really cool Think that's possible with vBulletin?

My vote would be for a "clipped" PDA friendly version of the output, if the hosting software make that possible.

Yet another excellent idea, and one I'm happy to say is currently in the works :clap

Main Page Summary

An idea was posted on a separate post to provide a summary on the main page of http://www.smartphonesource.com of the main topics/rumors of the day/week/whatever. The thought was that perhaps someone (I'd recommend a volunteer) could cull through the discussion and periodically post the contents to the main page as a low-volume bit of HTML. That way, mobile users could grab the most important info, if time/kilobytes are an issue, from there. More interested/engaging readers would enter the site directly.

Or we could look into a module to vBulletin (no idea if it exists) just to post links to the 10 "most active" stories.

Random thoughts.

Great! We're on the same page... Jimmyjoe is actually already looking into a portal page something like PHP Portals
to use as the main page for the site.....
I think he was hoping to get it all researched and implemented very soon (wishful thinking on my part, i hope to see him get it done this evening )

Are you looking at a lite front end or something more like a full-fledged CMS (Content Management Software) system? CMS would certainly be cool, as it would give us BLog ability, but might require a lot more manpower to maintain.

But if you are looking for a CMS, I have been looking at PostNuke for a site I have been working on (no its not installed yet) and it looks fairly function-filled and it is free. Also, I believe there are modules to integrate with vBulletin.

Just my two cents.

This has been done....

Let me know what you think... Currently I have only the first 200 characters being sent but I can increase that if you find it necessary...

Thanks for the great idea....
