After a discussion in IRC - which I very much enjoyed - we've come to the conclusion that there are masses of ideas I need to get on with because the forum is far from perfect. I'm going to use this topic to increase my productivity as I'll have a clear list of what to do and what to change.
1. Private Messaging;
The forum lacks the ability to send private messages to other users and so I'll be creating one. Sending messages to other users privately.
Status: Planned
2. New posts;
It has been requested that new posts are shown when a user hasn't seen it, or has marked all as read. currently they automatically go after a while, this needs to be changed.
4. Fix report button to be more visible;
Status: Done.
5. Stop posts in forum games counting and update postcount to relfect this.
Status : Done.
Please post your things that need to be done here. If you wish to discuss an idea start a new topic, if a topic has been "confirmed" by a moderator, me, or general consesus is that it's a good idea, feel free to post here and I'll queue it up.
[SOLVED] tags for Server Administration, or have a mod trawl them and add [SOLVED] when it's all done. I'd rather not click the same topic because people make pointless replies.
- Another Moderator
- Possibly some kind of Announcement Centrebox at the top, for updates on minecraft or for the forums?
- Minecraft Username in our Profiles
- A more noticable stickied topics icon, or notification. (Or possible a warning above the current forums (Optionable.) which states either rules or a message.)

- I have a new moderator in mind, but I don't think we're that desperate for one at the moment.
- Maybe so, I'll have to consider that more.
- Planned, going to be sorted out with the medals because of preium medal.
- Can you explain the final further?
Hahahaha! Let's all laugh at Snowman! :biggrin.gif:
Also, the report button is more visible? It looks the same to me...
*Laughs*
I think we should have something that tells us how many hours we have been online in total. (I really want to know)
Other Ideas
Icons like Mod and stuff in pretty letters and in boxes in the name area.
Thread deletion/Locking if you made the thread. (If you get enough posts maybe)
Karma. (Just mentioning it here so he can see it)
Warnings. (So mods can warn people and keep track of if they have been spamming the forums and completely trolling)
More Mods. (I can see tons of spam bots/people coming soon and 4 mods/admins aren't going to keep them away)
Announcement threads. (That appear in every section at the top)
Rules thread. (I haven't seen one)
Cool profile pages that you can customize.
Cool Online and Offline icons.
More forums to post in. (You know we want them)
Cooler looking forums. (The ones now look bland)
Option to turn off signatures and Avatars. (Some people don't like loading all those avatars)
A better View all posts thing that shows posts instead of threads [rant]that you have to look through just to find a single post that takes many minutes you could be using to play minecraft just to find a single post that may not be right then you have to look somewhere else for another hour trying to find that single post you really want to find because it gets really annoying to have to look through all the threads someone has posted in especially when this place gets old and everyone has posted in every topic ever made so it makes you want to kill yourself after looking for something that you never find because the topic has like 2000 pages of nothing but nothing and your all like "Wtf?" because it makes it all harder to find anything you ever wanted to look for by a single person who made that post that you wanted to reread because it makes you laugh but now when you find it your too mad to even laugh at it even if it was the funniest thing in the world ever so i hope this gets implemented because it would be great and save me time and money :smile.gif: [/rant]
Oh yes and a color tag and a size tag so we can all post in weird fashions.

- In due time i meant
- An announcement centre would really help if you would want something 'noticed' more or a announcement to really get noticed. Plus, images!
- Wicked, that way we don't have to ask about usernames
- Possibaly having some new Topic icon named STICKY or put into the names of all stickys: STICKY. Some people have troubles seeing some of them, and ignoring the topics.
Thanks for somewhat updating the report link... though I was hoping for some kind of image with it, maybe something like: . Even just making the text bold would help more.
Also, some sort of quick reply box would be wonderful. Example:
Ah, and locked topics should change to strikethrough text rather than just a color change.

THOSE were gray for a reason. So you don't look at them. However, I can guess it's working of the same CSS.

why 3?
I don't know. Maybe 2? Maybe we should have a campaign? REAL FOR MOD! WOOH!
I'm asking why a specific number, not why that number.
Anyway, there should also be a way to change a topic title while editing.
I fully support this.

Yes this is most useful.
Do you mean colours like this?
The size is a good idea though, as long as it isn't too big.
