News Events (Small)

[Bigtea47]

Sometimes the notifications can get overwhelming.
We are missing some form of "delete old notifications"
Or even just have the old clickable links change color or vanish, when they are done.
I just got done selling some voodoo and because i split them up a bit it's a hastle remembering which ones i renewed and which ones i didnt.
Same goes for ships. At times it can be very confusing if large amounts are involved.

This is not a problem I face...

Maybe because I haven't used any real money!

[Bmw]

yeah i don't know who would face this problem

[Bigtea47]

Well one page is 20 items in notifications. So anyone who ever got more than 20 events come in at once would face this problem.

yeah the most i've gotten at one time is 15 and there in order from the first to the last just go from the bottom to the top so that you can remember better

You mean news event log? You want to keep your news tidy I suppose?

Right now news events are deleted every 5 days. This means that once an event grows to be older than 5 days, it gets deleted.
Our ambition could be to someday further improve news log. Probably combo it with Captain's Log Suggestion

Our list would include the following:
-Ability to remove news entries
-Ability to archive news entries (Archive size can be managed in a similar manner to ship market slots - This will allow us to offer greater sizes to those that really want it without putting any costrain at our servers).
-Ability to store all news events for more than 5 days (Again, in the same manner as ship market slots - Instead of slots we will offer extra days. For example, with 10 credits one time fee, you will be able to store the news events of the last 7 days (instead of 5). We speak of a cost here of 5 credits per day, one time fee with permanent effect)
-Ability to sort them by specific type.
-Ability to share/send news events with friends,guildmates,forums,etc. Share specific news events, specific type or whatever (many options here).
-Cosmetic improvements. Addition of the Avonmora day too.
-Dunno, perhaps we can make them make a coffee too.

That sounds great, Captain Jack!

[Bigtea47]

Yes that does sound good captain.
My concern with my suggestion i posted wasn't as much having them tidy, but knowing which link i already clicked on. like the "renew auction" The other day i had about 50 auctions cancel and come back. Then i was clicking "renew" and there was no way of knowing which ones i already renewed, and which i didn't.
But being able to delete, will totally solve that problem with captains log. So we are good

[Bmw]

that's a good idea it will also get the credits moving again(im referring to captain jack)

[Captain Jack]

I see the necessity on the renewed auctions issue. We need a better system there too. Like an auto-renew button when you start the auction.
