What forum changes should we make?

Steve · 12-27-2011, 04:53 PM

Now that I have absolute control over the forums I can change all the forum wide settings and I would like to know what kind of things you guys want to change.

For example there is a reputation system that I could turn on that would allow users to give other users reputation points. You would give reputation points to trustworthy members who are hlepful and know what they are talking about. Or you could just give them to people you like! The longer you have been on the forum and the more posts you make, the more 'reputation altering power' you would have.

I can turn on the Quick Reply option so you can reply to a thread without having to load a new page where you type your post.

If you want some new or better smilies or post icons please show them to me.

If you guys have any other changes or demands please share them here.
Once we have a few more suggestions I will add a poll so people can vote on them!

I think all of those ideas are great!

My only complaint & suggestion is this: none of the forum pages are set to expire (this decade), so every time I visit, I have to manually refresh every page I visit. Turn off page caching. Please?

I demand PANCAKES!

The quick reply thing would be wonderful.
The smilies are fine, I guess... though perhaps you'd want to lift new smilies off of MSN? I've always had a fondness for those, but I guess that's just me...

I will try turning on the quick reply reature soon.
I don't know if I can just steal smilies from MSN, but I will see what new smilies I can use for free.
