Features To Add?

Quick search now shows posts instead of threads.

(I'll see what else I can change after work. It's been a busy week)

That works MUCH better. Thanks.

FELIPE NO

There was a small subtle feature that I kind of missed.
Basically, when you selected "Last page" on a thread link with multiple pages, it took you not only to the last page, but also the last post as well.
Do you think this can be incorporated again. It was very handy for me.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

There's one thing I just noticed that needs to come back: Thread Creation listing on the forum page.

So if you were visiting Board Support, this thread would say:

Features To Add?
bobo (Started on March 1st, 2006)

(Or something like that)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

When you click the number of posts in a thread to see the "Who Posted?" screen, before you could click on the number beside everyones name and see just their posts listed but not anymore. Can this be brought back somehow?

I'd like to continue the motion of the "my posts" link. being able to see where i had posted helps me look for where to reply. if i have to wait for a couple of pages in-between, it deters me from even bothering. (;>_>)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Could we add the View Journal in the dropdown menu above the avatar of someone's post?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

How about a nice, albeit useless, but interesting "avatar mural." The page could just generate, say, a 10-by-20 "wall" of people's avatars. It could be generated by various options: top posters, random from anyone with avatars, whatever else may come to mind. Meh, just something that came to mind while looking at albums murals over at last.fm.

I was speaking idiomatically.

- I'd love to see the "Who Quoted Me" feature back.

- The "ChocoPie" was really nifty, I think

- I'd actually like to see the rating system back.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'll throw in the Members Gallery for readdition, if only as a tool for us to do something about the growing number of users who aren't using the Profile Picture to display things other than pictures of themselves.

FELIPE NO

Gender icons, please. That little grey box next to the usernames is kinda pointless without them.

Also, add me to the list of people who want the rating system back. Or a rating system, at least. It doesn't necessarily have to be the same one. Other systems exist on other message boards, like the dotting system on @forumz. I don't post there, but I know of their dot system, and it seems pretty decent. More interactive than the one-time rating system the old GFF had, at least. Instead of rating people once anonymously, you can give them a green dot whenever they say or do something in a post that impresses you, or a red dot whenever they say or do something that makes you think they're a raging fuckwit. They get a PM saying what post they were rated for, and a little message from the person who rated them (if they choose to send one). The accumulation of dots over time = their user rating.

I'm not necessarily advocating we use that system, but it's just some food for thought. If the old rating system is gone for a specific reason, there ARE other rating systems out there.

You can select your gender preference in the User CP under Edit Options: Undisclosed/Male/Female. Can't think of others...

EDIT: Nm, I just realized they're not appearing... they were before when the board reopened.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The gender icons seem to have been appearing on and off, then disappearing again just as quickly. I've seen then randomly appear from time to time. And whenever I make a quick reply post, I can see my OWN gender icon (but no one else's). Though as soon as the page is refreshed, it disappears again. Seems like the gender icons are kicking around in the system SOMEWHERE. They're just not showing up most of the time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Actually....they still apear in your profile where they should be.....even when you refresh the page, they're still listed. So....the icons themselves are still on the server. I also just got a PM, and the icons show up there, even when you refresh the page as well. It's almost like....they're hiding out in PMs and Profiles but are nowhere to be seen on the main forums other then for a fleating time span for some reason....

Also I would like to add...could change the new message, sent message, Read Message, Forwarded Message and Replied-to Message icons aswell as the reply and forward buttons in the PM box to match the rest of the forum? They look a little strange....for the simple reason the default ones don't mach the forum....with their white borders and all....

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

btw, I suggest to add the star rating system like in the old GFF. They could be used to show whether a member is liked or rather hated by community.

I usually just leave my custom title blank, but now I've noticed that any japanese text entered in there ends up ending with &#. Can someone do something about this because it's really annoying.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, I'll second the request for not allowing Japanese characters to be used in custom titles.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

There's also a few characters in character map which removes lines, reverses text, and so on. There's like 5 of them, and I'm not even joking.



I'd love to stay as this, and be a unique individual(lol) as I discovered it(lol) if it doesn't get fixed or cannot be fixed. Either way I'll leave it up to bobo, and I'll leave it in my custom title like this for a few days so people can see what I'm talking about.

FELIPE NO

Works in my IE.

Well, you're using IE for starters, which probably means you don't have the latest language packs, either. Eleo drew this to my attention in irc awhile back, and if he can see it, I'm sure others can too.

It doesn't work in your IE but that doesn't necessarily say it doesn't for others. I checked on my old, slow 400MHz Pentium 2 box and it doesn't display everything as reversed either, but it seems to only apply for older computers or ones missing language packs.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I request a small radio button or check box at the bottom of the Create New Thread box, say, underneath "Disable smilies in text" that says "Ban Elixir from this thread".

And then when it's switched on, if Lix ever tries to view the thread, he gets a denied message and gets forwarded to yahoo.com or some porn site.

Not at the rate you're going.

I would also find this feature suggested by Colonel F.T. Skills very useful. Nothing is worse than having your thread invaded by someone making irrational "points" and subsequently whining that he's "not allowed to have a differing opinion".

I was speaking idiomatically.

Not really sure what language packs I'd be missing since I haven't had any webpages pop up that are all boxes (for example, Oolong's owner's webpage displays fine on this computer).

PS, I didn't know a P4 with 2GB of RAM running WinXP Pro with SP2 was an old slow computer.
