Hey all! I was thinking about some stuff while doing some edits:

Is there anyway we could put a link that could bring you to the top of the page for each section, or at least the bottom of the page? Some pages get really long, and that would be a nice thing to have.

Since some HOST_ prizes, like in quests, and trade give aways, etc, are given and were not HOST_ Exclusives, should there be a little symbol showing that they were a HOST_ prize, like a blue "H"?

What do you editors think?

This was a little confusing so you want to separate the rare/beta from the non-rare/non-beta? as in show what is rare and what isn't?

With the top of each section do you mean something like this?

And with the H thats a good idea.

How about a white H since the guest room backround is blue... outside of that I like it!!

Sort of, you know how there's subsections for a page usually, at the bottom of the section have a button or tiny link that brings you to the very top of a page. Like the link you gave me for example, that's one of the longest pages in DOF and it gets bigger all the time lol. It would be nice to be able to go back to the top of the page if your almost at the bottom, or in the middle.

Anything we do would be manual, and I'm not exactly eager to add such things. Particularly since every browser has a way to go directly to the top of the page anyway. (Usually pressing the Home key.)


Since some HOST_ prizes, like in quests, and trade give aways, etc, are given and were not HOST_ Exclusives, should there be a little symbol showing that they were a HOST_ prize, like a blue "H"?


Is this intended to replace the misleading "Q" or to be in the Location box?

Perhaps the label "HOST_ Exclusive" should be changed to something else? I don't think we need to create something new, but thats my personal opinion. Other thoughts?

(As an aside - we're still open minded for what to replace the Q with. Just haven't heard any better suggestions.)

well the Q is meant for quests and if it wasn't a host quest, it shouldn't be there, that's why I think replacing the Q with a blue H would look better

also, clicking the home key brings you to the home page you selected, it wouldn't take you to the top of the page


Also Xiaolin, the HOST_Exclusive isn't always exclusive sometimes it's brought back in different things, or they are put in quetes, so, they aren't HOST_Exclusive.

Because some are still HOST_Exclusive, we should keep it I think, and make a new template for some that are no longer HOST_Exclusive

Waitaminute - which Q. Do you mean the Q in the "price" or the Q in the "location"?

The Q in the price wasn't exactly meant for quests. When that was the only way to get stuff besides buying it, thats what it meant, but the Kelloggs promotion wasn't a quest, and its items were marked that way because we didn't have anything else.

So the "Q" means "you get it some way besides buying it". We've had for a while an open question about changing this to something, but nobody had a good suggestion what to change it to.

The Q in the location does mean that its from a quest. But that wouldn't get confused with a host prize.

If you're talking about replacing some of the Qs in the price with H, then you still have other things to address - like prizes that aren't from quests, hosts, or purchasable. There are still quite a few of those around.


also, clicking the home key brings you to the home page you selected, it wouldn't take you to the top of the page


Huh. I've never seen a browser do this by default. Clicking the Home button on the browser might, but pressing the Home key on your keyboard should go to the top of the page.

I still think that removing the "exclusive" is the way to go. Something that might have been exclusive could come out in another way. Basically, what we're trying to say is "you get this from a host". If thats the only thing listed in location, then its "exclusive" :D if not, you still know you get it from a host.

I agree. Would HOST_ Prize sound better?

I was thinking about it in the prize. Also to change the other ones, that aren't really a Q, we could make a template for them, if they have a group of them. Like games you must play to get the prize, ex: buzz, pink doors, etc. We could do a orange G or some color G. I don't know what else that there would be for the Q that aren't really quests.

I agree. Would HOST_ Prize sound better? HOST_ Prize would look better, because then if an item came out in a different way, like a quest, or for sale, we could put that in, and still say it's a HOST_ Prize compared to taking out HOST_ Exclusive.
