The Monthly Feature Request Thread (July Edition)

I think you can already do that. In fact, I'm sure you can, because I read the journals that way. First comment first, last comment last, sorted from top to bottom. That's how I like it.

FTP access back for the admins is the only "feature" that I can think of as being important.

It's always been in your CJ Settings page.

You can strike this off the list now.

the return of GFF xchange....

oh well, i can always hope

I have some suggestions and ideas! =O

• FTP access for admins bobo has fixed this
• GIRLbanning (it'll be total lol ) not gonna happen even if it'll be lol at least once
• Who Quoted Me it's been added
• WYSIWYG editor for journals
• ChocoChat
• ChocoPager (that doesn't crash the server)
• GFA (the bittorrent tracker or whatever was proposed)
• Built-in PNG transparancy support for IE forum-wide like GFWiki's logo Blah has informed me that we already have this! Fucking sweet! =D
• Board Skins (although I'm fine with the current style)
• Drop-down links (click a link and it drops down a list of more links like click on your username in the forums currently does, it'd be useful)
• User post filter, so you can easily see all of the posts in a thread by only one or two users Blah has added this.
• I'd love access to the emoticon database
• Raise the ava/sig filesize limits
• Get rid of the signature checker because it's flawed and mostly retarded. Mostly.
• Nanaca Crash in the Arcade with the ability to keep your highest score and retry if need be before CLICKING SUBMIT to submit your highscore.
• Custom flags (upload a cool small flag like you do with your avatars - for those Ace Combat geeks, etc.)
• The ability to prop posts on the boards
• :10bux: features - get higher ava/sig filesize privileges, custom username image privileges, and other great features by paying ten bucks (it'll help pay for the server and stuff)
• Custom usernames set to on by default (I still don't understand why they're off by default, people will figure out by the * by everyone's name that they are looking at a custom username and can then go and turn it off if they don't like it which for most probably won't be the case - as is with it turned off by default these users don't even know the feature exists) retarded idea, however, now we need custom display names back but set to off by default and optional LIKE THEY WERE.
• Custom ava/sigs per forum but mostly just The Sewers that can be enabled/disabled. This would allow for Furry Xmas in the Sewers and for people who don't want to view that to turn off custom ava/sigs for The Sewers which would of course display the default ava/sig instead

I really like the idea to have specific avatars and sigs in specific forums. For things like Furry Christmas that seems like an awesome idea. The only thing I worry about is certain people (*cough*Skills*cough*) will use this as an excuse to put penises or something in their avatar space. Not that I'm grossed out by it, or anything, but having a penis in your avatar space is just retarded.

Yeah, that's why you'd have the ability to enable/disable viewing people's forum specific ava/sigs per forum. At least that's how I'd do it.

Also, I just found out that Blah and Miles have ftp access again. I'm gonna go strike that off my list then.

Oh btw, what do you guys think of some of my ideas? =o

I'm <3ing the forum-specific av/sigs, Acer!
This allows for lots of creativity, and only it's not like everyone is mandated to make one for every forum; only the people who are interested need apply.

I'd love for Acer to have access to the emoticon database.

Don't forget to take away the signature checker! Because it SUCKS.

Totally... yes! ;__;

SAGE this shit. The sig and avatar limits are just fine the way they are. Even though most of us are on broadband, some are still connecting with 56gay. As far as I know, most people use ChocoSig to host their images, which hogs on bobo's bandwidth. I, personally, would not like to miss out on GFF because it crashed due to a bunch of asshats who want a fucking huge image tied to their name doubling image bandwidth.

I actually think sigs should be trimmed down to a height of 200px. :/

My request is *please don't shoot me, please don't shoot me* a slight change in color and layout to the forums. Especially ChocoJournal. I see the CJ main page as hueg an clunky. I'm sure no one would even consider this, but I'd even come up with a design and XHTML + CSS template if that'd sway things.

I got your point. I remember, I'm also a 56K user...
just forget I was asking about it

You don't mean in place of this one, do you?

When I wrote it, yes, I meant in place of the classic GFF skin. But now you point it out, a new skin could be just an addition to this one.

Well then, how about people stop being lazy and get their own webhost so they can host their own, and leave Chocosig at 50k.

If you're on 56K, endure it or turn off signatures.

Sage.

I'd like to request THREE things:

1. The "Who Quoted Me?" Feature that was in a user's Control Panel.

2. Custom Country Flags

3. Submission of Custom Emoticons (Where basically the Mods/Admins filter out FAIL ones and keep the ones made of WIN), each user above a certain post count can submit like, 1 or maybe 3 emoticons, with an obvious limit on pixel size and file size.

Adding that to my list of what I'd like too. Thanks, Skills. =)
