Features To Add?

What features are currently missing from GFF that you would like to see?

Ever since we switched to vB3, I've been asking you to bring back the total number of posts in a thread in the corner of posts.

Last time you were in chat, you said you'd do it too, so can we please have it back? Even the temp forums have it.

[03:02:55] <Q-chan> If forums are to be redesigned, can we PLEASE have a total number of posts in a thread digit next to the post number? ( "out of 45" for instance)
...
[03:03:12] <Mercarios> Q-chan; sure
[03:03:20] <Q-chan> I'll hold you to that
[03:03:27] <Q-chan> that was the only thing I missed from the switch to v3
[03:03:29] <b33rf0x> Q, 3.5 gives you a lot of other cool stuff
[03:03:32] <Q-chan> otherwise everythign was better

Definitely bring back the "Who Am I A Buddy Of?" feature.

The arcade, most deffenatly. Some of the older smilies too would be great...

I'd like to see the user rating system back. That was a pretty cool feature.

I'm also wondering what this "Junior Member" business is about.

Files are now limited to their resolutions too (lol only image files nub). Is this implented to save bandwidth and space, or just the default settings that didn't get set yet?

Agree on the first point.

"Junior Member" is a default user title. Some people haven't been arsed to change them yet, clearly.

The color of the posting box needs to be changed to solve light-text-on-light-box effect. Also, I can't delete my posts anymore; please give that feature back.

Capo · Mar 2, 2006, 04:00 PM

I don't think we ever had that feature on here.

The Dopefish · Mar 2, 2006, 04:01 PM

Oh really? I seem to recall it. Anyway.

The "Level" function is obviously not working. Gotta fix that.

Calendar needs to be fixed. It goes from 2000-2006, but it should go into the future, not the past.

Users cannot delete their posts, and it has been this way for as long as I can remember. The reason is to make sure users can't cover their tracks when they post something they're not supposed to. Even if they edit their post and remove the content, at least the post entry will remain for evidence.

Somebody actually uses the calendar?

Sir VG · Local time: Mar 2, 2006, 03:21 PM

Well, if it's gonna exist...

Not being able to change your birthday without Administrator consent.

I'd like an option taht shows the post statistics for a specific forum, like who has the most posts in the Sewers, Animespot, CC,... .

Sassafrass · Mar 2, 2006, 04:35 PM

I'd like to see the rating system out of GFF, frankly. It becomes a petty little thing people do, and it's hardly authentic. And before you accuse me of having a poor rating on the OLD GFF, I welcome you to check out the archives when they come back up. I had an average of 4.2, I think.

The journals I would naturally want to see come back. But I like the added Wiki button. I don't think that was there before. Or was it?

ANd Dope, we never could delete our own posts. Only edit them.

O YEA. THE REPORT BUTTON. I miss it already.

Also, BLINK. ^_^ unless i did that wrong? its always worked for me in the past

It was there before, just under Quick Links.

It's there. I know you're hyper from GFF coming back and all, but...

Yeah I don't think ratings are so necessary either. Apart from the bi-annual "do you check/care about your ratings" thread in CC I don't feel that they're as widely used or cared about as in the past. I think everyone is capable enough of making up their own opinions on people, and if someone isn't liked around here I think it's obvious enough to them without having to look at the missing boxes next to their flag.

I'd like to see ChocoPie back, hopefully you didn't lose the code again.

edit: any chance of having the whole Who's Online list on one page instead of a default of just 25 per page?

Son of Wiseness · Local time: Mar 2, 2006, 03:53 PM

Levels and Chocojournals.

The Dopefish · Mar 2, 2006, 04:53 PM

That's a lot of wasted space just for a flag, though.

The male/female icon next to the username is missing.

ChocoPie was clever, but I don't know how necessary it is.

Musharraf · Local time: Mar 2, 2006, 10:53 PM

I won't give up asking for Chocopets!

Niekon · Local time: Mar 2, 2006, 03:01 PM

I hate to say this but I'm going to have to agree somewhat with Dopefish on the ChocoPie thing. As one who used to run an FTP server it was nice to see a posting history divided into the different sections of folks who were requesting the password to access my server. That way I could make that determination whether or not I wanted to give it out or not...

And as other have said... the little gender icon and the level indicator...
