Default filtering of inventory...

Postby Hellzon » Sun Apr 30, 2006 7:52 pm

...seems to be set to "Show raws and items", and occassionally resets to that. (At least for me. Could be firefox acting wonky.)
Shouldn't the default be "Show all"?

Reality was never my strong point.

And individually for each character, right? Would be extremely neat if it worked constantly. As I said, it resets on occassion. I don't use any other than "Show all", and I still have to set it right at times...

EDIT: I see how my original post could be interpreted the way you did, though. My bad.

Dont forget about people, who have slow internet connection, and about Cantr server itself. If someone has A LOT OF notes, or keys or anything, then "show all" page loads almost forever on slow internet and makes a lot of traffic to server. Because there still is some "default" sorting, in whitch start new players, etc i suggest to make some investigation and just count whitch filter is mostly used by players, and make it default. But not the "Show all" filter. This idea is bad.

Agreed! Us sad saps with dial-up take long enough jsut to click from the events page to anything else. Added slowness when not necessary would make me run out of minutes just as fast.
I like the default, and if I really NEED to see my notes, etc, then I can click on that filter...but luckily those times are rare lately for my characters.

(and don't say "logout when you are typing long conversation events" it still takes a good 2 minutes sometimes just to get into a character screen to paste the comments in. :? )
