20,000 characters is a lot. If you need any more, you should rethink what you're posting (yes bill, this includes you).

When you have a bunch of links in your post it really ISN'T...

Don't move the old posts over - think of this as a clean start with postcounts for those who like to measure their e-ego in that fashion.

I am thinking this too, bringing over the old stuff would just clutter the place with a lot of stuff that was better off being left behind the first place. Anything of importance can just be started up again.

1. Why is it that when I click on "next" or "previous", located on the bottom-right side of any page, it sends me to the next or previous thread instead of the next or previous page of the same thread?
I know I could just click on the page numbers on the bottom-left side, but I'm lazy.

2. When there are new posts in a thread I notice that the thread listing shows which thread has a new post or not, but why aren't the posts themselves flagged as "new" too. Now everytime I go into a thread that is flagged with new posts I don't know where to continue reading from because new posts aren't flagged as "new". Is there some way that we can have thsi feature just like in the old forums, or am I just not looking in the right place?

I just figured out that logging in forever does actually work, but when I first come back to the forum, it doesn't show me that I'm logged in until I go to another page.

Bring back the Purplish color scheme instead of Blue...

Blue!>>>purple

P.S. Can the mods make a moving text, flash, increased character size, and color able to be disabled through each members profile so the user who hate this text can disable it while other can still enjoy like avatar/sig/images/censures all are able to? PLZ??

Can we disable the "name" feature? A little part of me died when Bill changed his name to Akai on here... and looking at the options, it appears anyone can change their name at will, which could likely lead to a lot of confusion.

stevey · « **Reply #32 on:** February 15, 2008, 04:29:01 AM »

Nooooooooo, it's going to be hilarious in the next mafia game!

Funny how I've gotten several complaints about it...I didn't realize the name "Bill" was all that memorable to some people... =3

Tradition reigns supreme I guess!

Thank you, Bill. Your new SN was freakin' me out. I almost cried!

I'm used to both names, and I was wondering why you changed it back, but nows I knows. lol

Don't disable the names thing, it's a nice feature for those that like to change names.

HAY MODS

ANY INSTANCE OF "C.U.M." IS CENSORED. [AHAHAHHAHAHAAH]

for instance,

"document"

so... when is talkback going to start working again?

<--- What are the scores about?

UncleBob · « **Reply #39 on:** February 15, 2008, 07:46:31 PM »

The "NintendoWorldReport Forums" banner at the top is no longer a clickable link. I'm a sad panda.

The simple machines forum logo is not NEARLY good enough for them to be plastering it all over the place like that.

If you guys can get rid of that ugly thing and all its instances, we will all be grateful, I'm sure.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Agreed

Happy Birthday

This thread is also apparently the Guitar Hero: Aerosmith talkback thread. That's cool I guess. If threads pull double duty, it'll keep the forum index less cluttered.

Ceric · « **Reply #42 on:** February 15, 2008, 10:35:13 PM »

The whole thing is CSS driven, I've been looking into theming. It should be doable to get the forum to mimick the look and feel of the main site.

Maverick · « **Reply #43 on:** February 15, 2008, 10:52:24 PM »

No! Make the main site match the look and feel of the forums! This is way easier on the ol' eye balls.

Quote from: Robageejammin on February 15, 2008, 09:32:42 PM

And this, definitely.

2^nd! Please do, I love the new forum look!

vudu · « **Reply #45 on:** February 15, 2008, 11:46:42 PM »

Is there any way to remove some of the "stuff" and/or dead space from the left hand side? Posts that are only one or two sentences are still like 3.5" tall. This one included.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #46 on:** February 15, 2008, 11:48:37 PM »

use all your 20,000 limit first then you can have smaller post boxes.

vudu · « **Reply #47 on:** February 16, 2008, 12:08:47 AM »

Is there anyway to turn off post views on the main pages? I really don't care how many people have read a topic; I only care about how many people have replied.

Also, I am loving the Mark As Read feature of this board. LOVING IT.

Is it just me, or it impossible to tell which posts are new when you are viewing a thread? There's no new! icon anywhere.

vudu · « **Reply #49 on:** February 16, 2008, 12:56:35 AM »

That doesn't answer my question at all. I don't have a problem seeing which threads have new posts in them. My complaint is once you're in a thread, there's no easy way to determine where the new posts start.
