Features To Add?

Can someone tell me why the avatar limit is 20k instead of 30.

I agree. Many people will argue that:

Dialup=56Kb/s or ~7KB/s.
Forum default is 25 posts/page. 25 avitars at 20kb = 500kb.
Total avitars(500k) divided by 7KB/s = 71seconds. (500/7=~71 seconds).

A full page of avitars will take a dialup user 71 seconds to load. While that is a long time, not every user has an avitar, not every avitar is 20kb, and users have the ability to disable avitars. I say up the size to 30kb aswell.

Seeing as how the avatar size was 30k before the crash, an argument is not necessary.

I don't know if this feature is back and I am looking the wrong place, here, but is the Who Quoted Me? feature back? I use it a lot and I have yet to find it. =/

It's not back yet, and it has been addressed before. Seems like bobo's too busy with putting up the backup.

Another feature I liked is the date a thread was made besides the name of the member who made it, if it's possible to implement that again.

I am in favor of seeing the user rating gone for good as well. Any word of confirmation on this?

Just to clarify, it's not a light color set but a set with all of the superflous crap removed from the postbit, taking it down to name, avatar, title, with most of the graphic buttons removed and replaced with text links.

It's just a more pleasant way to view the forums for me. I don't need to know what everyone's level, member number, join date, gender, nation, and rating is.

Oh and BTW: If you don't pick a flag, it defaults to the United States. I'd like to see that fixed, to where if I don't pick a flag, it displays no flag.

Does anyone know why gender icons just dissapeared.

It'd be nice to see user ratings back. It was voluntary to take part anyway, so what's the argument?

Because everyone on the internet is male, there wasn't a purpose for them originally.

It's that some people want legitimate ratings, and the system--as it was--allowed too much, "I rated you a one for lol and then more lol." At least, that's what I see the argument to be.

For the record, you might want to limit the number of characters in a custom title. I was double checking to see if HTML really was disabled in the titles, and it ended up with a nicely messed up table.

The "Who Quoted Me?" feature was very nice, but I really miss being able to view the Buddy list, as to who's on mine and who's I'm on, and whether they're mutual or not. That was really convenient. Not sure if somebody already mentioned it, but I thought I'd second it if it has.

Because you mollested your question marks and they all ran away in cowardice from your posts.

Also... Robo Jesus mentioned this in another thread, but why hasn't this been made into a smiley yet?

:burnnn:

We really need to get the search wait time back to the pre-crash amount of 10 seconds. 15 is unbearable.

How about an option to show all your posts that have new replies (Only red folders in "my posts")?

I don't know how feasible that is, mainly because of ambiguity in what is truly a reply to your post. That is, a post may succeed yours, but it may not be a reply to your post; it may be intended as a reply to another post.
The only good way that I can immediately think of to do this is to say that replies quote the original post (or part of it), which is, more or less, the "Who Quoted Me" feature. (With the exception that your request would require each quoted portion to have some sort of identifier to make it possible to identify a quote with a certain post.)

All threads you have posted in that are bolded have new replies since your last visit.

That's what I was recommending to people but they said no.

For God's sake SOMEONE MAKE A LITE SET. (I promise I'll shut up if you do.)

I've made a Lite Set.

Tell me if it sucks, I've never used the lite set before so I don't know how it's supposed to look.
