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

remove the "last post" section on the http://www.gofuckyourself.com/forumdisplay.php?f=26

it is useless as on gfy its always within the last few minutes , that is for slow forums

You can still answer posts with "lol" or "yes", except now you have to add a smiley after.

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.

It would save unnecessary SQL queries and make the board run faster. :thumbsup

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.

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?

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. :winkwink:

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.

Lensman 12-29-2004 10:23 PM

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.

There's also a reason why it was built into the board.

Functions alot nicer than before...

TWO THUMBS UP!!!!

media 12-29-2004 10:26 PM

I think avatars for 5000+ posters would be good.. I'm almost there...

Is it the pixel dimentions that bother you? Because anything over 80x80 bothers me as well.

deviantART.com does 50x50 and it looks spectacular.

There's a hack for that @ http://vbulletin.org

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 you give me an example of abuse.

There's a pull down menu in the upper left corner of the board index with a bunch of affiliates, if that's what you're asking.

I like the avatars where we can add our own pics. I like to see a face that I'm talking to. Kinda like the board you mentioned.

I would like to see the PM feature operating as well.

No avatar please, will make the board look too inhomogeneous.

Someone creating a bot to collect usernames and send private messages to each one advertising some random crap. I've seen it done on smaller boards.

If someone wants to be contacted from this board, they'll make their contact info available in their sig or profile.

Varius 12-30-2004 10:38 AM

It would be cool to have the handle of the person who made the last post in the threads back :upsidedow
