Some suggestions
 

- Allow posters over a certain post count to change their own avatars without going into that thread to request it.

- Make visitor messages show up in the notifications the same way PM's do. I know this is possible as I've seen it on other forums.

- Hidden forum where we can 'share' music. If the site struggles for ad money have a donation amount, I don't mind paying. £5 or something. I dunno, just a thought.

- Increase inbox space. Maybe give users who donate larger inboxes.

- Ban The Batlord.

Think that's it, anyone got any more?

You already can change you own avatar. You only need a mod's help if you want it to be large.

I don't like the thought of adding donations. It just means people who have more money, will have superiority, and that's annoying as hell.

That's what I meant sorry, I rarely change mine cos I can't be arsed to request the larger ones.

Does it? People are on the Internet and have computers, phones etc, if there is no set limit everyone can afford £1 or whatever. It's not breaking the bank.

I can't see how people would be superior also.

I was gonna post some stuff about journals but as I don't read them other posters may have better suggestions.

Well that was easy.

End of fred?

Na some of those are decent ideas particularly the visitor message one. I messaged YorkeDaddy and he didn't see it until about two weeks later through no fault of his own. Is there a reason we don't have notifications for them?

as much as I hate the Buttlord at times, he's necessary.

Can you read? They've tried to get the admins to do it, and they find it unnecessary.

I thought he was talking about my post, he didn't say he'd asked admin personally.

Did they say why it was unnecessary?

I assume since they pay to keep the site up, they just do whatever is necessary to keep the forum up and running. Any of the user friendly things aren't priority.

I'm surprised they even answered. Most of the requests, according to the mods, just get ignored.

Visitor Message notification is a good idea, but I guess just check your profile more, or someone could send you a PM telling you you have a VM ... nah that's stupid.

Incidentally, MT, what were you gonna say about journals? I'm intrigued, since you say you don't read any (you should try it)...

You get VM notifications in your CP.

Truth. Otherwise this site would be boring as ****.

Dunno, either an active mod to keep on top of the posts that need to be approved or have members with high post counts not need approval for their posts.

I know but how often do you check your CP? It's not the same as a PM showing straight away.

fanks for the PM m8 xoxo

I wanked over it.

:ar_15s:

You give me crap, I return the favor.

:laughing:

Not sure what you mean by an active mod approving the posts for the journals. I think they get approved quickly enough. The reason they need to be approved in the first place is to avoid spammers getting into people's journals and filling them up with spam. It's much easier when they can just delete the posts without the public eye seeing them. The current process works just fine imo.

At one point this was a problem, but in recent times posts have been approved very speedily. I did once offer to be a sort of semi-mod, with responsibility for only the journals, but my girl turned me down. I do however agree; after you've earned the trust it should be possible to approve your own posts, but I think the system is set up that it's either need to approve all or need to approve none, and were they to change to the latter it would be party time for all the little spammers, so I'm happy with it as it is.
This is also true. I seldom go into my CP unless maybe changing my usertitle or location, or maybe avatar (though I don't need to go into it to do that as I send the request via the thread) and have on occasion seen VMs that have been there for weeks, even months. I had no idea they were there. I think if it's important, stick to PMs.

Yeah I feel really bad when I see I have a VM that's been there for weeks without being responded to. I never go into CP so clicking my profile is the only way I see those, and I don't do that very often.

Sounds like there's no chance of any of these minor quality of life improvements happening unless ownership of the website changes. What are the chances of that ever happening though?

Why doesnt you guys add a VIP Membership instead since donation shouldn't give advantages :)

Who is actually the buttlord? Can i ask? :)

Our imaginary friend, and mascot.

I love the smell of spam in the morning. It smells like... ****.

just saw him :D:D:D:D
Wrong pronouncing not buttlord its batlord sorry :)

No, it's Buttlord.

Whose butt is he lord over?
