Ok, my comments so far:
I've put little *'s next to those that I will definitely do, the rest are either "need more persuading" or "nope".
1) Showing the last 50 (or whatever) posts you viewed. This can be done, but my question was WHERE would they be placed? Bottom of the index page, as a link on the drop-down menu, etc? There isn't room to fit them anywhere on the current pages really.
2) Showing all posts you have contributed to. Erk. Nope.
3) Ability to turn off signatures. No need - you can turn off any image that appears in anyones signature already, which means at the very most all you'll ever see is 3 lines of small blue text. So I consider this one done. I personally always browse the forum with signature images disabled.
* 4) Milkshape OCX viewer. Yeah why not, easily done.
5) JPEG/GIF upload. Perhaps, not overly enthusiastic about the idea, but it needs doing for the DBDN merge anyway so I'll think about it.
6) "a favourite links that you can put like 10 of your favourite sites to be displayed in your profile" - put them in your biography
7) "up the avatar size from 50x50 to a slightly bigger 80x80" - 50x50 is bad enough as it is
8) D-Mail is planned yes, but this isn't a forum feature - it'll work across the whole site. It will still happen.
9) Star-rating, ok I may conceed to this one eventually. But it's of no practical use, so it hits the bottom of the pile I'm afraid.
* 10) Better search. Yes, agreed. This will be the number 1 feature to enhance.
11) Javascript email munging. If you don't want your email address displayed, don't make it public?
* 12) Delete posts that you start. Well, it's easy enough to do. Will have to add the ability for an admin to stop a thread from being deleted and/or resurrect one though.
13) Lite forums option (replaces all graphics with text, removes JavaScript and removes the top bar). There virtually are no graphics. If you hide the avatars in your profile and use the "simple" post form box then you get the "lite" version already. As for removing the top bar, nope. But I may create a tailored version that shrinks down the height of it considerably. Understand this is highly likely to be a dbdn only feature.
* 14) Mark Threads. Yeah I want this feature too, so I'll implement it.
* 15) See Deleted Threads (mods). I can do it easily by changing one SQL parameter, but I'd like a way to collect them together so they don't distract from the layout of the forum. Perhaps I'll just allow mods to go "off duty" which either hides or enables all this stuff.
* 16) "Move Threads" (mods) - yeah, will add that. Agreed.
* 17) Emailed when someone replies. I agree, very useful. Will add it.
* 18) Mark bug thread as confirmed from within the viewing of it - easy, will do this.
19) "Limited size on signiture images" - very hard to enforce i'm afraid. The only way it could be done is to have a fixed size for all sig images, otherwise it's impossible to check the size of the image before it's displayed as they're all hosted off-site. I could allow uploading of avatars / sig images - that's the only way possible to control the size of them. Which might not be such a bad idea actually as it would speed up page loading not having to wait for various avatars to be pulled in. For now, just disable signature images.
20) Remove "Team Requests". I'm very very tempted! But it's such an amusing board
I think that "code requests" will become part of the CodeBase actually and "model showcase" ought to go into the 3D area anyway.
Cheers,
Rich
