Forum Improvements

Rex Nex · #1 09-04-2007, 12:53 AM

Ello all, Rex here!

I would like to tell Brian that this forum is awesome. Lots nifty things, very tidy. But I would like some enhancements.

1. I want the smileys to have a general blitwise theme, whatever that happens to be. You know, like maybe neo-tech type ones and stuff.

2. I want signatures to have IMG code in them. If so, just let IMG code be limited. I also want signatures to have more then 5 lines max. Heck, you cant even do two lines and a picture.

3. More fonts... all of the current ones are very boring.

4. A personal notepad in you Control Panel, to write things down for future use.

5. Change max avatar size to 120 x 120 pixels, which is fine.

6. I have seen a image scaler before on a forum, it scales images that are to large to fit the max size for a avatar. Only physical size, not KB.

7. Adds. Put some Google adds to your forum, and get more money. As long as they stay appropriate, I wouldn't mind one or two. Go farther then two and its a little overdone

.

8. A few of us (and those we talk to) wouldnt mind a spell checker of some desighn :/

That's enough for now, I will let you know if I remember/find out more annoying things.

The only thing I would want is more vB Code.

Spell checkers are all browser based. Other than that, this seems like a good list of stuff.

Well, some forums auto-correct commen mistakes. Repeats, lower case i and such.

Don't get adds unless, like you said, they are safe and appropriate.

Rex Nex · #6 09-04-2007, 01:38 AM

Yes. Nice common forums are sometimes intertwined with messages with a zoomed in lady and "Dont Click Unless Your 18 " Adds.

If there were to be one thing I would want to change with the forums, it would be spoiler tags.

Everlast · #8 09-04-2007, 03:26 AM

Definately spoiler tags.

blue_moon · #9 09-04-2007, 11:09 AM

Then we could put ads in the spoiler tags.
Well, ads at the TOP of the page, between the search and profile buttons and above the forums.

Those sound like reasonable requests for the most part, though I don't think Mike wants to bring in ads. We'll see what can be done, after the updates we have planned are completed. After about a year, maybe it's time for a little face lift for the forum.
