Though i love this site very very much and its been such an invaluable asset, im still amazed that since 2001 they havent changed the way the resource system works
few suggestions;
- in the table, have date of material AND date added. reason: if a 2001 exam was added in march 2008, in the current system it goes into the 2001 date area (naturally), however, that sucks if youve been doing all the past exam papers and are waiting for new ones to arrive. doing them as they are added is pretty much impossible as they get added into there relative years and makes keeping track of what youve done on the site/havent done very hard
-add download amount in table
i know this isnt a popularity contest to see whos got the most dld resource, but it would be interesting to see what others have used the most, and thus what is most likely to be most valuable to utilise as a resource
-add a rating system
surely this isnt hard to code? doesnt vbulletin come with a thing where you can rate things simply (im recalling the 5 star system used on many sites where you simply click a star to rate something youve downloaded). again this would be SO useful in determining the quality of resources. for eg if you go into chemistry, there is SO many summaries that it gets pretty overwhelming in determining whats good/whats not that great. would definately be helpful if users on the site can rate resources
-general clean up
its so messy. i often see 1st module hsc stuff in prelim area, and vice versa. Or the other day i went into chemistry and noticed that the prelim and 1st modules are completely joined together (think thats a coding error on the page). but in general alot of stuff is just everywhere.
an awesome system would be sorting it such as, for example
***Chemistry***
--Exams
All exams/tests here (half yearlies, trials, practice papers only)
--Summaries
All summaries here (complete yearly or half yearly summaries only)
--Module 1 - Acidic Environent
All module 1 stuff here, resources, topic tests.
--Module 2
All Module 2 stuff here
--Module 3
All stuff here
etc
then at VERY bottom of page have
--Prelim
and sort accordingly
im sure this would take alot of hard work but surely you have an army of mods who could work on this?
