Okay I don't know if anybody has posted this in here yet as i didn't take the time to read the whole topic as it is late and I have a headache but ehre it goes.
You having a headache is noticable since you spelled "here" wrong, lol anyways I would like to see what your gonna say
1. Letting members come up with the plugins used: This is a terrible idea as most plugins probably won't be made and they can't just install any plugin any other member wants, you also must take into consideration that the more plugins/hooks/applications used the slower the site will be.
These are just suggestions, like always, you take into account the suggestions made by people, and throw out...I mean ignore or critique the ones you don't want, and then take into consideration the ones that are good
And I am not sure how hard Plugins are to code and what not, all I know is that they are possible, but would require some time to do so
Oh, and I didn't realize more plugins = slower site, wow I'm dumb, I should know this, lol, well then we won't be using many plugins will we?
2. Use IP.B 3? I hope you know that is the only option that you can use, it's not like they are about to go and use ipbfree which uses IP.B 1.3.
I don't know much about IP.B and everything it does, thank you for the information,
Also I am a IPB Skinner/Developer so if you don't think I know what I am talking about, rest assured I do :smile.gif:.
Yeah, I've seen you around the forum and you said that too, looks awesome
P.S. since you are an IPB skinner do you know if you can choose your skin for your personal page? or will it have to be the same as everyone else?
If they allow you, you can customize the look of your profile page with a background image etc.

Two things that are really important to forums:
Quick Reply (I can't believe we don't have this, even here.)
More customization of profiles - not just adding your location; sometimes a little extra info about the people you're having a conversation w/ goes a long way!:happy.gif:

Im's Ideas
- Quick Reply (I Think he Likes Spam)
- More Customizations of Profile (Didn't Check The Link)
How would Quick Reply cause spam? All it does is make it simpler to post. No need to go through a second link to do so. If people want to spam, they will do it regardless of Quick Reply or not.
If I'm correct Quick Reply means able to reply quickly from one post, able to post messages very quickly, now this would cause an Increase in spam cause some troll could come and spam the same time, about ∞ times if not checked

How is that any different from using the regular Reply to spam?
And they would just end up banned. Problem solved?
He say than editing the poll don't mesh up the polll
Editing polls mess them up, you have to remove it with the check-box, submit then edit the post again to add the new poll.
Nope, that doesn't work either. Trust me, I tried EVERYTHING.
I tried editing the poll, deleting it and making a new one, getting a mod to delete it, getting a mod to edit it, emptying my browser's cache and what not, using another browser, using another computer, and getting a mod to delete my post and make a poll in my next post.
NOTHING works (unless it's been fixed since then).
Here is an Idea, you try switching all this content (too much content) that is being updated every day, in a short ammount of time onto a whole new Forum Engine, and get most of the bugs out, and other stuff that I forgot to mention,
If you are able to do that succefully and not rushed and everything seems to be working smoothly, then you are able to say that, if you aren't or if you haven't tried, I suggest you never post something like that again

Woah! Then I have no idea of what you can do to fix it, I'm sorry to hear that you have so much trouble with it. :sad.gif:
We already have the switch planned, we aren't keeping this one cause it sorta sucks for big forums

And Secondly, With a wait time from post-to-post, you have to wait a while before posting or replying, reducing the spam

Spam would then not be caused by the addition of Quick Reply, rather that there are not enough mods.
