so about those features that you've been thinking about for Resource Routes

I thought of a pony we could really use.  And many not on the routes might find uses for too.  

Color coding for sign posts.  That would be the bees knees.

  • Color coding FTW!

  • And, if not that, maybe the option to rename or "knickname" our signposts. So, instead of Listo (the next stop on the Bubble route from my street) I could name it "Bubble Route." A tooltip could give the actual street name.

  • Colour coding or nicknames would both be good. Colour coding and nicknames would be even better

  • Please sirs, can we have some more colours?

    Or at least, if this is never going to happen, can you tell us so that we can make better long term plans for our community network infrastructures?  You know ... all them ... community networks with infrastructure out there ...

  • Colour coding would be great--it would allow a more complex series of routes and would definitely help with wayfinding. Also love the idea of being able to apply a label to a sign--that would be extra-excellent. +17 at least.

  • Another thing that would be nice, though not as route-essential as nicknames or colors, would be the option to add another signpost.  

    Also, I'd love to have some sort of navigation option from empty signposts.  What I'd really like would be a "leap of faith" option that would take you to a random contact's street, but a "go back" option that took you to the previous home street (or back-to-world if your previous location wasn't a home street) would also enable one to continue wandering around exploring people's home streets after running into one with nobody on the sign.  ("go home" is too much like starting over.)

  • + a whole lot, to the leap of faith and the go back options. Spectacular! Also like the idea of paint for signposts (as a harvestable resource maybe?). Nicknames not so keen on, could get pretty misleading and potential for bad behavior/hate signs.

  • @Fnibbit: It's why I love the linked names in the chat log! You can always go back to the other streets you've been to recently :)

  • @Moehr.... You are right about the potential for nickname misuse.  Good point.  

    @Fnibbit...  a Leap of Faith!  Love it, but could that be added as a 6th sign?  I would be reluctant to give up one of my friend signs for it.   If the Leap of Faith came as a default with the sign then the home streets who have not set up their posts would not be a 'dead end' anymore.  Technically, since you can always go home, it's not a true dead end...but there would be another option besides returning to your home street.

  • @Ooola: As foolbunny said to fnibbit you can use the name of where you were previously in Local Chat to go back one street, or many streets. A dead end is no longer a dead end.

  • @IrenicRhonda... True!  I forgot about that new feature in Local.

  • Humm... maybe colour coding + a nickname AND the user's playername underneath so that people know who they're going to, if they aren't interested in routes, but just want to play with other people on their streets.  :)
