I suscribe to another forum and some of the features they have are really useful, two in particular. Maybe we can see them here?

One is the multi-quote button. It allows the user to select more than one message to quote in their reply. It makes answering multiple questions a little bit easier.

The other is embed, but now that I think about it, it might not go well here, what with the Youtube rule and all...not really a point for it, huh?

Just some suggestions.

I've always been against multiple quoting. It's too easy and it oten get things out of their context. People have always been used to answer to whole things, in a single text. It's better, there's no reason to change things into a "quote-answer-quote-answer-etc" format. It's dialectical decadence.

I like the multi-quote idea. It would be a bit easier, but I don't think that altering the quote /quote myself is too trivial, so it doesn't really affect me either way.

We should have a rep counter.

One another board I go to, we have it and it works like this:

On any particular post, you'd click on the number of thier total rep and determine if you like or dislike it.

What would be the point in that, though?

I don't really think multi-quote is a particularly needed option - it's not that hard to type the quote tags if you want to break up a message more. As for embed, I think it would just be a source of unnecessary delay and distractions while reading the forum - a link should do fine if there's something you want to show people.

And rep counters are just a horrible idea. We don't need to turn the forum into a popularity contest.

So yeah, I'm not particularly leaning toward any of those suggestions.... sorry. But other feature suggestions are always welcome!

YEAH BABY! ::cam::

xD I liked the multi-quote thing, but I don't really need it, so I don't care either way.

I wouldn't mind a new template option though ::shifty::
I dunno, I just am not a big fan of really simple simple boreing templates like this one. xD just a small suggestion though, this template doesn't particularly bother me... ::kisaki::

I'd prefer not to do that, because every time a new security fix comes out, it has to be applied to each and every template separately. That's why I got rid of the old "subSilver" template - it's just too much of a pain to update multiple templates every time.

Oh, well fair enough!
It was worth a shot.

Priss = 0 / Flowers = 1
