Help make PF Buzz better for you

Posted June 2nd, 2008 by Pinyo

I am trying to make PF Buzz as beneficial to the personal finance community as possible. Please help me brainstorm ideas.

What features/functionalities would you like to see?

How can I make this site better for you?

Thank you!

Digg style icon

One thing that would be cool is a digg style button/icon to incorporate into each post like at the simple dollar. Something that shows the ranking number within the icon.

Me too, but it's still under development. I hope to have it before the end of this year.

Buzz indicators in Buzz tab on "My Account"

One small thing: Adding buzz indicators to the Buzz tab on "My Account".

It would be nice to be able to see what the scores are for the stories you've submitted without having to click through on each one. It's more of an ego-petter than a required feature, but I think it would be a beneficial addition.

Good idea!

I believe the link below is the RSS for upcoming posts:

http://www.pfbuzz.com/feed/all/All

I am still looking for the RSS for blog, forums, and live sections. These are basic Drupal built-in module and are not as powerful as some of the more heavy-duty counterparts.

Submitting

MMarquit 18 weeks 1 day 17 hours 19 min ago

I'm using the PF Buzz button to submit some stories. One thing I've noticed, however, is that it always submits. You know on Digg and Reddit how if someone's already submitted, it tells you and lets you vote on what was submitted previously? It appears here that it gets re-submitted (I noticed this with one that I submitted, and today -- three days later -- it was submitted again, separately), and the votes end up being diluted.

It should not do that. Can you send me the links to the two stories? Thank you.

Just double checked

MMarquit 17 weeks 5 days 21 hours 22 min ago

I just double checked, and it looks like what I thought was another submission was the notation that someone else had made it popular. *Shameface* Sorry to bother you. Don't I feel stupid...

No...

I found the dupe and deleted one. One has a URL that ends with "/" and the other one didn't.

Sorry I didn't update.

posts submitted not accepting trackbacks?

fwp 8 weeks 3 days 17 hours 9 min ago

i submitted a few posts today. apparently, the 'trackback' field claimed that the trackback links i submitted were not working even though they appear to be as far as i can tell. have others also experienced this problem, or is it just my site, or ?

thanks,
