Before I start talking about my idea, there is various things I want to tell you.
1: It's a bit long. (Tl;dr people, get out of this thread NOW.) 2: It's the new version of ROBLOX, but we do not need it right now since 3.0 was published. Probabily about January~March 2012. 3: It will not lag, since there won't be much aminations or any kind of moving pictures. The concept will be like ROBLOX 3.0, but better. 4: It isn't a "Fix ROBLOX. Do more game updates" thread.
Now then, sit comfortable for my suggestion to ROBLOX. Make sure your room is well-lit, and remember, you can always zoom in/out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brief description/Prologue ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Obviously you know that ROBLOX 3.0 has came out. Outstanding design, nice concept and layout, backgrounds... It's nice.But it's still not "Perfect". My suggestion is to work on ROBLOX 4.0, which it will be more convenient, more stylish, and less complicated.
From "My ROBLOX" page, right up to "Help" page. It will be a brand new ROBLOX, and I assure most people will like it. Some new features wil be available, and some features updated. Sounds good, eh? And possibily "Background" feature might be available on the website.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Basic layout ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[]MyROBLOX[]
MyROBLOX would be a bit different from 3.0, but the banner will be still there. It will contain
-Home -Places -Inbox -Character -Profile -Account -Options (NEW) -Favourites (NEW) -Friends -Groups -Items -Sets -Advertising -Ambassadors -Money -Share
all of 'em. Also you could shuffle these into the order you want (in "Options").
[Home] The main page of 'MyROBLOX'. Yourself, Feed, Status, Best Friends list, and also there could be a feature that you can upload items straight away. You can do it by selecting what type of item you are going to upload, browse the source, then click 'Upload'.
[Places] Ah, we need a update on this one. You notice that if you have BC/TBC/OBC, you can't shuffle your place into order you want anymore. If we could make the list into a thumbnail, it might be easier sorting them out.
[Inbox] Yep. I think the inbox system we have right now is good enough. We could use the same one, but slightly improved. The 'Sent Messages' folder. This will review all sent PMs. Ofcorce, you can delete them if you want to. And I've been wondering, have you ever got a system notification before? I haven't. Either ROBLOX should make a good use of it, or just remove it.
[Character] Yes. This one is not bad, but they can improve a little. I think that there should be Avatar at the top-left, color schemes right next to it, and below those two, will be the clothings. Like 3.0, the selection (the 'hat', 'package', 'shirt', 'gear', etc.) will be the same. Also, they could make it 10 items a page.
[Profile] Profile would be the exact same as the ones we have now. I think that the design we have it good enough and if we try to improve it, it might make it worse.
[Account] As I said on the prologue, there could be a background feature (I'll explain about that later on). There will be normal account stuffs (like modefying your blurb (the bit that goes on your profile), your social settings, etc.) because it's simple.
[Options] (NEW) Options are what you set as a default on some features. If you wanna know more: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=33439617 Also, you could modify the banner in options.
[Favorites] (NEW) You know favorites, don't you? But you need to go to profile, then select what type of item you favorited. I think it should be simpler. Just click on 'Favotires' on the bar. Then like stuffs, it will come up with the bit your profile has at the bottom.
[Friends] The exact same, but there should be page numbers like the ones we have in items. That'll make the task go faster.
[Groups] I think the system we have now is perfectly fine.
[Items] These are what was once called "Stuffs". I think it's kind of dumb to call that, so we should rename it into "Items". The system will be the exact same to the ones we have right now.
[Sets] I don't use it often, most people doesn't either. but it should exist anyways. The system we have is sophisticated enough, so I think we should keep it.
[Advertising] I personally think that advertises you own should be listed in detailed rows. And next to it there will be a plus mark to look further details. maybe 20 results a page.
[Ambassadors] To be honest, I like the current system we have right now.
[Money] Once clicked, it will take us to a page with three banners. One that takes to ROBLOX centeral bank (where you can buy ROBUX). middle one that takes to Trade Currency, and the last one which it will take you to money status.
[Share] The exact same thing we have right now.
That sure was a lot of typing... Moving along.
[]Forums[] (Yeah, we're gonna skip Games, Catalog, People, etc. because it'll be the same. If you want to see a suggestion about Contests: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=32981583)
Foruming should be much simpler, too. It's where experienced players have fun, and excitement.
My first suggestion is to be able to minimise the categories of the forums. If you don't know what that is, it's these... http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowForumGroup.aspx?ForumGroupID=1 http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowForumGroup.aspx?ForumGroupID=4 http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowForumGroup.aspx?ForumGroupID=5 etc.
My next suggestion is, sub threads. These sub threads are smaller than the one we post. This could be used for: Correcting, Add-ons, Notes, etc. You cannot post on sub threads. Also, the player can make more than one sub threads if they want. "Spams"? Then just report the main thread. Simple as that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Other suggestions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1[] Backgrounds
Yes, I tald you I'm going to explain. Backgrounds will be ROBLOX-made. You can change your background by going to account. The average cost of it will be 200~300R$. But I know very well you people want ROBLOX to stop making items and start working on game updates. They should only make about 4~7 of them a month. It's just image that ROBLOX updates. Not a big deal.
2[] The status (The white box on the top-right)
As you know you can see 4 things there. But what I think, is that we should be able to choose a 5th status viewing. Could be in 'Options' where you can select this. When it is selected, it will be shown at the bottom of the box (box slightly bigger). It could be
:New forum posts :New comments (I wouldn't want this if I was famous) :Limited items sold :New items published by ROBLOX :New place visits (Within day)
and others, too.
3[] Fixing the forum search
Seriously. It's just not working. I can surely remember a thread posted by my alt and I wanted to find it. But it end up not coming up. Even when I searched my alt's name. They have to make it actually work better.
4[] More specific errors
This happend in forums. Sometimes when you're about to post, you get an error sayinhg "You are breaking the rules". But most of the time we have no idea where it's wrong. ROBLOX should be more specific what the error, or where it is.
Those are my suggestion to ROBLOX 4.0. Better, simpler, and more sophisticated.

| Support, but don't count on people ever reading this. (MOST) People these days never bother to read anything longer than 3 sentences. |

Awesome. It took a while to read though. Instead of posting links in the smack middle of everything, you should just make a thing at the end for the links.
I also think Roblox should just replace the sets feature. I simply don't like it. |

| Read the whole thing, and I have 2 words. Its brilliant! I would love to be able to customize my background, I mean, wth is so good about clouds and mountains? And they really do need to upgrade the forums. The search system really sucks. The error message should not just show what is wrong about your post, but also show the rules that it fits into. |

It seems a lot shorter once you start reading it, and I honestly liked it. HOWEVER, when you said to leave the ambassador's program they way it was, I knew I had to say something (once I finished reading, of course). The ambassador's program is FILLED with glitches and problems. Many people complain about not getting the money from the system anymore, and even more complain about links that should work are not.
But other then that, it will be WAY better then roblox 3.0. I support. |

great idea. i have some additions that might be useful: 1. change contests to the way they were before. for an example, search the news for winter 08 and find the building contest. 2. cut down on hats (i have a good reason). this would reduce the number of people complaining about too many robux hats, because it will give them time to save up for them if they really want them. 3. bring back ticket tuesdays. this would also reduce the number of people complaining. 4. update the profile section of the forum. it never updates your last activity. ive been posting on the forums for near 2 years and it still says my last activity was sept. 23, 08. |
