Crap we need to fix on forums

[ChronoSphere]

1. AVATARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. Need to change skins on it
3. Allow href pictures for sigs and whatnot. I don't know if Az realizes this or not, but allowing attachments to posts instead of links is only going to soak up even more of his bandwidth.

[AnonCastillo]

Definitely agree on the need for avatars and sig pics.

[Dead Sexy Vocab]

It's Too Damn Bright.

[D-pad]

*agrees with everything* :D :D :D

[Stephy]

It's not that bad, although, allowing avatars would be nice. ^.^

[AnonCastillo]

We also really desperately need to fix the fact that my post count is now higher than D_pad's!

Yes that does need fixed.

[Saitou Hajime]

Avatars and signatures will be fixed tomorrow. It was 4AM for Az when he started messing with this stuff, so he was tired and will finish it later.

[NeoXC]

You know, I actually think this is better. You don't need avatars to feel special, now. Besides, I believe that abour 90% of Az's bandwidth was used up because of people using huge avatars and signature pics. Imagine hundreds of people viewing that big image everytime they read that post and all your others. Combine that with everyone else on that post, that use big images. It would take up a ton of bandwidth. That's why Az had to keep moving to more costlier servers, because of those Avatars.

Az is a normal guy just like you or me. He doesn't have a fortune to shell out for all of the popularity he's been getting.

Avatars and Sigs were hosted on other sites...

Yeah, but everytime an image is posted, a person's computer sends a request to the server, the server then fetches that picture on a different server, displays it, and then it is shown on your computer.

[DragonSama]

I too am looking forward to the return of the avatars. But the new forum looks so clean. Don't worry we will fix that in a day or so.

[PopCulturePooka]

Avatars, yes. But severly limit their size. 120 x 120 or 150 x 150. Perfect.
Change the formatting. Its easy enough to do. Make it that user name, location, post count, yada yada yada is left alligned.
Report poster function! Yayyy! VBulletein makes it so much easier.
Ditto for ignore user function. Excellent way to cut down on the pain caused by SpammaTwits is to give the user the ability to never see there posts again!
Emoticons.

Hence why I said 150 x 150

120 x 120 looks really neat and tidy though. :D

Oh I had another idea. Remove post counts. :D

Um...do you know how to do that on a vB? Heh heh heh...

This is all still brand new to me. I'm poking around trying to figure out what's what.

[Monseur Tinklekins]

I'm sure it's possible, but I'm not exactly affirmative on how to do it. So, this was basically a useless post. =/ La.

I can find out for ya.

[General_Admission]

we need some dark skins with white text. This skin hurts my eyes.

[Saitou Hajime]

:eek:

Az has an avatar! That cheater!

[Jiant Flying Panda]

Overrall I like this board better than the last.

I include verything already said in my list but there's one more thing.

-Like in the old board I want to see who is viewing the vurrent slice of the forum. You know what I meen? Like in the old one you can see who was in the General part then when you swicthed to the RWPW you can see who is in there and so on.

If we have this here please someone point it out to me because I haven't seen it.

[X the Eliminator]

The new board has only been up for like 12 hours, I'd at least give Az a couple of days to work out the bugs before complaining.

[Panhandle Martinez]

A friendly reminder to please enable HTML in the stories forum.

You can click on "Currently Active Users: " from the front page which shows you what THREADS people are reading!


Yeah, guys give this a chance.

You will find, after kinks are ironed out, that the software used for the new board is far superior to the old boards software, and you'll love what you can do.

[AnonCastillo]

One thing that needs fixing is when there are more than 3 pages to a thread, it needs to show links to the last 3 pages, rather than the first. I've seen many other vbulletin boards do this, so I know it's possible.
