Default kind of random but something that would be nice to standardize

adding user notes: add new ones at top or bottom? if there isn't a consistent system they get out of order and thus are annoying to run through

on the other hand, if someone has that many notes maybe they should just be banned? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] (ryan, i'm totally kidding ldo)

i would say add to the top, if someone has a lot i usually look through all of them and stick with whatever the chronological order has been

I place the most recent at the top when the notes don't already have an order, but other people do seem to prefer the other way. I'm fine with either, and this won't be an issue with vB. It's all organized automatically.

But now is probably as good a time as any to break the news about notes. They don't want to import. So... yeah.

how hard would it be to write a script that would extract all the user notes and just throw them in a database or something, discarding the null ones?

That's a decent idea. I'm just not sure how feasible it is. This is one of the many things I don't know enough about and have to pass up to Chuck. But if it's not happening, I still think we can deal.

I've generally added my notes to the bottom, but if you guys prefer, I can change that.

i don't have a strong preference, just seems easiest to add at the top so that the most recent history is easily viewed when editing. but there's not so much in there that you really have to spend a lot of time scrolling so really WGAF. sounds like it will be addressed in Vbulletin anyway

Also, I date them so that should keep it clear. Also also, I don't think i've ever had to add a note to someone who had more than 1-2 notes already. Perhaps the non-strat forum mods have more to deal with in terms of opening up a user's notes and seeing a couple paragraphs?
