This week's Hot Topic is:
Do you think NWR needs new forum software? Are you tired of threads disappearing for no good reason? Do you wish Super would stop finding ways to abuse the boards by putting Cattank in his profile? Are you tired of buttons with bullets pictured on them not actually making bullets appear in your posts?
Also, be sure to click here to vote in our poll.

Anyway, defectors could be banned, so I'll refrain from defecting.

Their's a thread where that is already happening.
I can't believe you just got to 1000. Sometime I think the counting system is glitched. I can never get to or above 10 posts a day.

I've been here since (checks) Tue March 29, 2005 10:11 PM. Well, at least that's my first post. I had periods where I went into lurk-mode for a month or two. That's why my posts per day are so low.

Anyway, at this point I would be happy with just a color swap. Gray is pretty boring.

Could we actually see about NWR approval of banners, so that they either make sense or at least aren't annoying or slow loading down?

QuoteDirect to post linking! thats what I've been asking for all this time. New forum software couldn't come soon enough, as it is looong looooong overdue.

If it is money thing, the NWR staff should ask for donations that will directly go to forum software, and hey the more money raised the better software we can get...it would be like a week long Forum software drive.
Post by: Khushrenada on June 14, 2007, 11:16:36 AM
Of course, it's understandable that one might not know this since the Funhouse keeps it's power hidden. But to question the power of the Funhouse? You'd better pray that you don't get banned. Or worse yet, have your title changed.
Hail TY!

I'll go hunting. I know we've already spoken about certain mods but the Newsbot one is going to be challenging to implement. I've got some time after exams to kill before I go on holidays so check me on MSN in about a week.

if you have the money to spend though, vBulletin is one of the best alternatives out there...

My biggest complaint is that the search feature could be way better. Also if something could help with the load times as well it be nice.
The search mods available seem to be geared towards making things simpler rather than powerful. What would you add to the current NWR search functionality?
Quote
I want flashy colorful forums that will take a long time to load, but the pretty of it will make up for the slowness in loading.
Get out!

Personally I loathe these. Waste of bandwidth no matter how fast loading or non-annoying they are. But there are mods around that allow you to show/hide avatars and signatures.

In fact, if you change it, please use forum software that lets me customize its appearance.
I don't see this as being particularly feasible. phpBB works on themes set by the administration and these have to be stored on the server. Some mods allow users to choose different themes but having one different theme per user just isn't possible.

phpBB does this out-of-the-box. There's probably a mod available to emphasize this ability as well rather than a small icon by default.
Continue discussion.
EDIT: lololol we could turn banning into a hilarious kangaroo trial.
For example:
Post by: Spak-Spang on June 15, 2007, 02:48:18 AM
1)Search for Authors of Posts
2)Be able to select Author and Keywords of Posts
3)Be able to search only in the current thread you are viewing.
4)Be able to select which exact forum ie: funhouse, General Topic, Nintendo Console Gaming for posts
5)Search Titles
6)Able to refine search results to find more specific entries.
Other options that would be nice.
1)Banning people only from certain threads. (This would be a great tool for Mafia games.)

Not sure that phpBB can be that fine-grain with access. I'll look into it.
