The Monthly Feature Request Thread (July Edition)

I think you can already do that. In fact, I'm sure you can, because I read the journals that way. First comment first, last comment last, sorted from top to bottom. That's how I like it.

FTP access back for the admins is the only "feature" that I can think of as being important.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's always been in your CJ Settings page.

You can strike this off the list now.

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

the return of GFF xchange....

oh well, i can always hope

How ya doing, buddy?

I have some suggestions and ideas! =O

• FTP access for admins bobo has fixed this
• GIRLbanning (it'll be total lol ) not gonna happen even if it'll be lol at least once
• Who Quoted Me it's been added
• WYSIWYG editor for journals
• ChocoChat
• ChocoPager (that doesn't crash the server)
• GFA (the bittorrent tracker or whatever was proposed)
• Built-in PNG transparancy support for IE forum-wide like GFWiki's logo Blah has informed me that we already have this! Fucking sweet! =D
• Board Skins (although I'm fine with the current style)
• Drop-down links (click a link and it drops down a list of more links like click on your username in the forums currently does, it'd be useful)
• User post filter, so you can easily see all of the posts in a thread by only one or two users Blah has added this.
• I'd love access to the emoticon database
• Raise the ava/sig filesize limits
• Get rid of the signature checker because it's flawed and mostly retarded. Mostly.
• Nanaca Crash in the Arcade with the ability to keep your highest score and retry if need be before CLICKING SUBMIT to submit your highscore.
• Custom flags (upload a cool small flag like you do with your avatars - for those Ace Combat geeks, etc.)
• The ability to prop posts on the boards
• :10bux: features - get higher ava/sig filesize privileges, custom username image privileges, and other great features by paying ten bucks (it'll help pay for the server and stuff)
• Custom usernames set to on by default (I still don't understand why they're off by default, people will figure out by the * by everyone's name that they are looking at a custom username and can then go and turn it off if they don't like it which for most probably won't be the case - as is with it turned off by default these users don't even know the feature exists) retarded idea, however, now we need custom display names back but set to off by default and optional LIKE THEY WERE.
• Custom ava/sigs per forum but mostly just The Sewers that can be enabled/disabled. This would allow for Furry Xmas in the Sewers and for people who don't want to view that to turn off custom ava/sigs for The Sewers which would of course display the default ava/sig instead

I was speaking idiomatically.

I really like the idea to have specific avatars and sigs in specific forums. For things like Furry Christmas that seems like an awesome idea. The only thing I worry about is certain people (*cough*Skills*cough*) will use this as an excuse to put penises or something in their avatar space. Not that I'm grossed out by it, or anything, but having a penis in your avatar space is just retarded.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah, that's why you'd have the ability to enable/disable viewing people's forum specific ava/sigs per forum. At least that's how I'd do it.

Also, I just found out that Blah and Miles have ftp access again. I'm gonna go strike that off my list then.

Oh btw, what do you guys think of some of my ideas? =o

Most amazing jew boots

I'm <3ing the forum-specific av/sigs, Acer!
This allows for lots of creativity, and only it's not like everyone is mandated to make one for every forum; only the people who are interested need apply.

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

I'd love for Acer to have access to the emoticon database.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Don't forget to take away the signature checker! Because it SUCKS.

SAGE this shit. The sig and avatar limits are just fine the way they are. Even though most of us are on broadband, some are still connecting with 56gay. As far as I know, most people use ChocoSig to host their images, which hogs on bobo's bandwidth. I, personally, would not like to miss out on GFF because it crashed due to a bunch of asshats who want a fucking huge image tied to their name doubling image bandwidth.

I actually think sigs should be trimmed down to a height of 200px. :/

My request is *please don't shoot me, please don't shoot me* a slight change in color and layout to the forums. Especially ChocoJournal. I see the CJ main page as hueg an clunky. I'm sure no one would even consider this, but I'd even come up with a design and XHTML + CSS template if that'd sway things.

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

I got your point. I remember, I'm also a 56K user...
just forget I was asking about it

You don't mean in place of this one, do you?

When I wrote it, yes, I meant in place of the classic GFF skin. But now you point it out, a new skin could be just an addition to this one.

FELIPE NO

Well then, how about people stop being lazy and get their own webhost so they can host their own, and leave Chocosig at 50k.

If you're on 56K, endure it or turn off signatures.

I'd like to request THREE things:

1. The "Who Quoted Me?" Feature that was in a user's Control Panel.

2. Custom Country Flags

3. Submission of Custom Emoticons (Where basically the Mods/Admins filter out FAIL ones and keep the ones made of WIN), each user above a certain post count can submit like, 1 or maybe 3 emoticons, with an obvious limit on pixel size and file size.

Adding that to my list of what I'd like too. Thanks, Skills. =)

Signed, though I'd like ALL the arcade games to have a retry function, so the hassle with submitting and stuff is avoided untill you actually want to submit the score.

A suggestion from me: Let's not have those pictures instead of titles.

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

I'm on 56K and I support a sig size increase.

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

^ well that should settle things - even 56k agrees

Need an optional white theme. I've been saying this for months. Listen to me.

Also obligatory.

Also, bobo is smart, so a major ChocoJournal release should have AJAX of some sort built in. That way we can choose what "modules" to put on our Chocojournal homes, and where to put them, similar to Google Personalized Home and Live.com's setups. It's too clunky as is.

How ya doing, buddy?

The ability to set how long the list is of "Who's Online" would be nice. I think that was an old GFF feature that either never returned, or I haven't found it yet.

Why don't you create a thread/poll in which 56k members (well, I suppose all members) can vote if they are/aren't in favour of a size increase? If the majority (>90%) is in favour, I see no reason not to increase it.

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

Fine fine fine. If 56K agrees I guess I'll have to agree with him. I work for the internet, guys.

I'm liking the custom emoticon idea, but I doubt the admins want to get spammed HOURLY with "HAY LOOK GOATSE SMILY! ADD PLZ CUZ IT'S SMILING!" I suggest that a user can have a custom DB of 10(or any # of) smilies that they (and only they) can use. Moderation? It would be the same as if someone posted an obscene image.

Hoping someone will just on the addition of forum skins ;__;

Jam it back in, in the dark.
