Why the heck is that important?

Something wrong with having N/A set as a gender?

PLease don't tell me you guys want to make acmlmboard some phpBB copy that uses user CP.
There will be no user CP. There also will not be a goddamn word censor. Stop mentioning them.

Additionally, knuck, you crazy fucker, doesn't run the board. Never have I seen someone that's so goddamn negative on anything mentioned in here, be it something that's going to be in the board, something we've been thinking about or something someone else has just pulled out of their ass. Bring some fucking feature suggestions to the table or leave this thread. And stop acting like you decide what's in and what's not. If anyone, the board development group does, and not even we make the whole decision.

Ghost option is out. If we wanted that kind of board, we'd allow anonymous posting.

I use Calendar almost everyday and Color chart quite often.

And well, why not making it possible to set what you want to be shown at the top? (with the help of checkboxes) Like if someone still wants avatars up there. And I guess that everyone dosen't use the same features.

Besides, censor is so easy to make anyway that if Jesper and Erkdog dosen't do it. Anyone else will.

This is all you can do in the Calendar right now that you can't do in any other calendar, or on the index page: Look up people's birthdays besides from today's birthdays. If you're seriously doing that, you won't mind having to use the Page Jump instead. Hell, I'm betting atleast ten people uses acs.php daily. It's not linked anywhere.

Color Chart is stupid. I could see a need for it in Edit Layout, and in New Poll, where you could actually need color codes, and maybe, maybe also in New Thread and New Reply, but anything outside of that is just stupid. As for Avatars, it will be linked to from Edit Profile anyway, which is the only other page where you can change your avatar as a normal user.

I never acted like if i run the board. I just stated what i thought about some opinions. Like the bad words hack. Sorry if the fact that i hate FireFox makes me takeover Acmlm's Board from the original owner (Acmlm). You wanna ideas? I have plenty, posted some in the old thread. Just like you want:

- Ghost mode: everyone wants that, maybe not here, but in the distro.
- "There are currently X users in Y thread...": Erk said that it would take a lot of DB space. Ok, but since when it was supposed not to?
- FAQ in SQL. Not sure if it aleady is in 1.9. I doubt.
- Admin Panel. Yeah.
- Allow users to delete their PMs.
- Fix sendprivate.php so it show the gender/power colors in the usernames (like in newreply.php)

I have a lot more, but i can't think right now. Maybe i post them later.

The only reason I could see that calendar is needed (regular basis) is if you could put in your own (personal) entries into it. And then maybe get an alert when the time comes. But, that's not really board-related, funny feature though.

We have an admin panel now, sort of, we can do what we need anyway

Basically, layout relevant stuff (colorchart) should be in edit layout, profile relevant stuff (avatars, maybe colorchart for customtitle) should be in edit profile. Maybe even put the postradar in edit profile, I mean, who changes that on a daily basis?

Everyone meaning two people so far. I've been on the development team for two years and today's the first time I've heard the suggestion.

Doable, but not sure if people want it. There are other issues as well; Would replying to a post constitute looking at the thread, for example?

Which we're working on.

Which we're working on. That one's in the version history as well.

Which is pretty much in the bag already, as mentioned earlier in the thread.

That's more like it. Bitching about moving a menu link 300 pixels isn't productive. (Which, I should clarify, goes for all of you, but most of you also suggested features. knuck didn't.)

About acting like one's running the board, this is a good example:
"Cut down the header? wtf.
There is no need to do it. I USE CALENDAR IN A REGULAR BASIS. >( >( "

knuck is not the one that's going to decide if there is a need to do it. Again, the development team should do that, together with other people. And we think that yes, it may not be cluttered, but if it contains three links that are pretty much never used, and other pages not linked from anywhere (such as, but not limited to: acs.php and activity.php) are used more than those menu links, something's wrong.

I was halfway done coding one.

Hell, I might as well list all the things I can recall having coded for an AcmlmBoard that's not in it now:
  • Photo Album Upload (got half done; Emuz's Kafuka server was a real bitch with handling uploads, or rather, not handling uploads)
  • Calendar Events (got half done)
  • Name Change Request thingamabob
  • Checked boxes on forum pages - mods could trash, delete, move or flip "stickied" and "closed" flags on all checked threads.
  • A notifier app (half done) that would sit in your Windows tray and pop up those MSN-like "toaster" alerts to say that there's been a new reply in some thread in your Favorites. I might still reuse that.

Hmmm ... checkboxes for mods and higher - reminds me of the Mod Control Panel in phpBBs ... pretty neat stuff, like for quick closing of entire pages with threads - like when a spammer attempted to bump half a dozen of older threads

What about a neat pop-up on new PM reception, of course switchable on or off in the profile?
It should not be too hard to code that using an JavaScript alert box with an entry: "You got # new PM(s)"

We already have the whole PM 'box' from the front page popping up on top of 'most any page providing more functionality (you can see which person the latest PM was from, and you can click through to go to the PM page), so I don't really see why this should be necessary. And people are wanting this to be optional as well - it will be in the b3 release.

Relax and add Yahoo Messanger and MSN Messanger fields. heh.

Don't think that was mentioned before, in this thread.

We'll be redoing a lot of the profile infrastructure in a later release. Amongst other things, this will allow for any number of IM entries (each being set to one of AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN or Jabber), and any number of home pages (possibly labelled as (this is tentative) "weblog", "journal", "personal homepage", "portfolio", "work page", "misc", and so on).

  • I so want that toaster reply notice app thing. Really though, I would be one to use it, and it would make me actually remember the favorites feature. Is it possible to make it do that for certen forums or for PMs as well(all chosen by you)? And can you click it to auto go to favorites or that thread?

    The notifier app corresponded with a special "page" on the board much like IRC MillyBot's ACS feature. Your suggestions would certainly be possible.

    I might continue it now. Thanks for that, Someguy.

    this will allow for any number of IM entries

    Well, that's only been in the pipe line/suggested for around 3+ years.

    Might be good to have a limit for the web links just in case some moron thinks that it's a place to put his bookmarks.

    I'd use it too. Best idea would be if it were combined with a folder system in favourites, so you can put threads you want to keep handy in one folder, and threads you want to be notified about in another.
