Yes yes yes!!! Sports forum! Sports forum!!! :cracker: :win:

I would love to be able to talk about J-League soccer and Sumo!!! And, I bet someone else would talk about the Japanese Baseball league, and I could learn so much!!! And there was that basketball character in Densha Otoko the TV Series! And, don't forget about kendo, karate, and judo! I bet fishing (like by yourself, not as a big ship) is a sport, too!!!

Give me sports forum, or give me . . . um . . . er . . . sports forum? (Well, I don't wanna die!)

Please? Pretty please with mochi on top?

Oh . . . (reads again) . . . must find this Sports Ground! Sorry, thank you! Heh heh . . . happy! Running off to search now!

Hey! Wait a sec! Sports Ground isn't with the other Japanese-related forums! What gives?!? Can't there be a Japanese Sports forum side-by-side with the history and the news and such?!? Poor little old lonely sports forum . . .

In a bid to arrange and improve our board, we would like to ask you, our valued visitors, what you would like to see at the Japan Forum.

I would like to see the font style changed to a "Times New Roman" font at a 3 or 4 point size. A "Times" font is much easier on the eyes and the motion of the eye from left to right goes much more smoothly. There is a reason why all major newspapers choose the "Times New Roman" font, and that is what I just explained.

Doesn`t the following look better than the above?:

-------------------------------------------

One more thing I would like to see is:

At the top of the main forum page menu on the right, have a list of the most recent 10 posts. That way people wouldn`t have to search for recent posts and people will click into categories that they may not be inclined to visit. This would increase discussion and broaden peoples' perspectives and interests as they visit other threads. The recent postings would always be changing so it would really give the board that "hopping and happening" image.
 
I would like to see the return of the link "view all posts since your last visit" without them disappearing after I answer a particular post under the present "New Posts" link. I really miss that feature of the former version as I could peruse all new posts, answer those I was interested in, and still be able to view new posts with multiple entries since my last visit.

The way it is now I can only see new posts, but when I answer one, my last visited time is changed to the present and all the new posts disappear.

Still, if that feature is gone forever, I will survive as JRef is still a great site and one of the best. I'll adapt.
 

Personally I like the current font, but you can change the size by holding ctrl and scrolling your mouse wheel (to make the font bigger or smaller)
 

You can open up threads to read in a new window (shift click the hyperlink) which will preserve the "view new posts" results while you do other things.
 
A more detailed profile! eg. Japanese intermediate, or expert.
What car you drive, what computer you have, are you single/married and funny things like that....
 
the only thing I'd like to see in this forum is more tolerance from some of the members and less arguing I'm so sick of clicking on some threads and seeing conflicts going on all the time

i dont know, i think this is the one thing that seperates this forum from others, and i wouldn't say its arguments as such just good natured opinions being discussed.
 
i think it used to be good natured opinions until things got a little..more than tense..?

I think the level of degradation towards others in certain posts only comes off bad when the offended one in question takes it very seriously.
Things need to be taken with a pinch of salt, in relation to this thread maybe we could see a bit more personalisation to the members block at the side of the posts.
 
That there will come a special Jrock section! so you have jpop and Jrock!
Because when I want to post something in the Jpop section it always get overshadowed by Jrock threads, and the amount of Jrock treads take care that there is NO attention for my thread! I mean there are lot of people who like Jpop music but DISLIKE J-rock music, including this OVERSIZED pictures there are being post... ahum now there is no change for my DTC or Pink lady or something like that because mister Hyde, and Miyavi etc are all over the place...
I am sure that Many people agree with me that a spil up from Jpop and Jrock would be a good idea, at least thats what I hope!!!
Jpop is about Jpop.. Where is the jpop?
(let's ask things one by one haha )
 
'That there will come a special Jrock section!'

I second that!
 
Maybe a Reply from an admin or Moderator about this.... ??????????

Thanks!!!

May I ask how they think about it? I feel closed out
 
It'll probably make the J-Music section have less of an exclusive air, if the majority of its threads are moved into its own section. My thought is that the section could be a lot more inviting to more people if the majority of people already there don't overrun the place and make it seem like j-music is all about this or that.

My thoughts, if worth anything, can be found here:

Jpop VS Jrock... Split it?

Actually I think if you don't want to see people barking at each other, it is avoidable, just don't go to threads that have high possibilities of flaming comments among members.

Yeah, all I've seen of it are it's previous posts. It'd be cool to have it back! Though I didn't know what it was like with it here...
 
Another vote for j-bot!
Yes indeed, I miss some sensible conversation.
 
im not sure if this would make trouble but ive always love a wasteland/postwhore area with forum games to waste time.
 
Ok maybe other people have asked or requested this...I will be honest I only did a quick search through threads to try to find an answer, my question...

Is it possible to include "view your own posts" link from the drop down menu in the "Quick Links" link? I don't want to always go through the hassle of subscribing to a thread, but I would like on occasion to be able to keep track of threads that I have posted on.

With the "huge" number of forums that are available here I have found it rather difficult to keep track of threads that I personally have posted on.

If there is a way to do this that I am unaware of please "teach" me.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
 
I posted this the above post, over a week ago and no admin have replied with either a "yeah" nor "ney".

What's the point of this thread just to write one's dream lists? If that is the case the heading of the post should be changed to let people know that.

If an administrator is going to start a thread like this and allow it to stay open for this length of time, it would be polite of them to respond to peoples posts here. Otherwise lock the damn thread or quit asking for peoples opinions please.
