What she said......and I'm using firefox and I sometimes don't see top banners, but I don't really mind-especially since I don't get the shit shocked out of me if my mouse accidently goes over some of them.
I do wish there was a link that took you to the first new post, too, but I'd be satisfied with what Alysha said.
Also, I agree with everyone that editing time should be longer than 1 minute. I had to make this second post because I couldnt "edit" my first one and add this. Ran out of time
- Multiple smilies have the same shortcut/vbcode
- Longer edit times
- Super users can't view attachments or calendar
- Can't edit custom title anymore
- User info column needs to be resized
- Quick reply option would be nice
- Avatars enabled for super users would be nice
We can only see our own attachments. If we view a post with an attachment from someone else, we only see a box with the filename and filesize. If we click the filename, we get taken to a page telling us we don't have permission to view the attachment.

Lens, the bottom nav used to go back to the front page, now it only goes to the top of the page. It takes another step to go back to the main page. slows down the flow
One more cool thing would be to get rid of the minimum 8 character limit at all.
Sometimes there are posts that could be just answered with "yes" or "no" or "lol.
I am simply not sure what is the idea behind the 8 character limit.
If you can't come up with more than 8 characters as a reply, you shouldn't be replying. Personally, I don't give a fuck if you're "lol" to a certain post. No one does.
The 8 character limit is to cramp people who post useless shit like "lol" or people who simply quote other people's replies instead of taking the 12 seconds necessary to devise their own reply.

honestly, if you count everything i wrote on this board, you will probably see than my avarage posts are far longer than the average.
I am just saying that sometimes "lol" or "yes" is appropriate.
I dont really care about this, was just a question
It would be useful to have a page listing ALL advertisers. Sometimes one notices an interesting banner ad just as one has clicked to view another page....and hitting "Back" won't necessarily serve up the same ad again, grrrr.
I buy good domain names. Send lists to George (at) LOFFS.com
It would save unnecessary SQL queries and make the board run faster.

Like I said, if they used the industry stardard 92%, like they should be doing, instead of a fixed width, we wouldn't have this problem.

also can you add time to the 1 minute time limit to edit a message?
Has already been adressed:

OK, superusers can see attachments, and edit time is now 3 minutes.
The first is kinda stupid, don't you think? I mean, shoudn't it be only superusers can UPLOAD attachments and everyone can see them?

GFY doesnt remember me and keep me logged in even though I have that button checked. It used to before.
Clear your cookies and log back in.

I can upload a screenshot if you'd like.
Not necessary.
That only applies to the attachments uploaded BEFORE Lensman set the 'super users' permissions.

do like other VB boards where u can hover over the title link and read the first post summary
The extra packets sent out would crash the board in 5 minutes. (well maybe a little longer) When you load a forum index, it loads and cache's all the previews from each topic on that page. Multiply that by +1000 users online, whilst new topics started every 30 seconds and you've got yourself a complete meltdown. But it would be fun to count the query strings.

Maybe change "reply" with "quote" in posts.
Easy fix to the Lang file.

I agree, Avatars would be awesome
hey Lensman, could you enable avarats only for super-users?
If he does it, they should be hosted remotley.
Now, my request Lensman, would be to remove the stupid post icons. If you want to do that- and need help- I will.
Good ideas. I personally think avatars are trashy looking though. There is only one board that I think has ever done them well, and that's amateur masters.

Is it the pixel dimentions that bother you? Because anything over 80x80 bothers me as well.
deviantART.com does 50x50 and it looks spectacular.

Yes, but GFY is a forum with tens of thousands of registered users working in a common industry.
The private messaging system would have the fuck abused right out of it within minutes of it being enabled.
You know, that's what they said about the search feature, but there comes a time for change and advance.
The PM feature works fine on Xbiz- and it can also be 'hacked' to prevent this so called imaginary 'abuse'. (And this isn't the biggest board out there, either. Stile Project has some 500,000 members. DeviantART has over a million.)
You give me an example of abuse and I'll counter it. Because there have been times when I've desperately needed to send a PM.

Now, that's a good idea. That's happened to me a few times.
