Actual Forum Suggestions. Input And Additions Needed!

[bagheadinc]

1. Perhaps an increase for the Columnist group at least. It would make sense for them to frequently make large posts.
2. As somebody who frequents the chatbox, I'd love an upgrade. Personally, I'd choose IRC, but I've already heard Eddie's arguments against it and I can understand his point of view. FlashChat would mean that it wouldn't work on mobile devices, so ArrowChat would probably be better
3. No opinion on this one, if I'd be fine with whatever avatar size is allowed
4. This is a double edged sword. Yes, it would look much nicer without these thread redirects, however, speaking from experience as an admin on other forums, if you hide these redirects the people who made the original post often don't bother looking for them (even if there is a stickied thread about post moves). The original poster often ends up posting a duplicate or a "WHAR'D MAH POST GO?!!?" thread.
5. Would be a great addition

1. If it were to be implemented, I think this idea would be the "very least" side of things.
2. So ArrowChat, huh? I like the interface better anyways.
4. True it's a double edged sword but if people were to follow the rules, and staff were to be on top of it all. Wouldn't it work out in the better? I am kind of OCD about these types of things though, so this suggestion is merely to please it, lol.
5. Thank you Bag headed one :3

1. Increase the character limitation in post.

Done. It has been increased by a factor of 10. Instead of a limit of 10,000 characters it is now 100,000.

2. Implement a different kind of chatbox that connects to the DB of the forum. IRC is out of the window but there are others. Maybe FlashChat or ArrowChat?

I'll look into it.

3. Increase the avatar size to 120 x 160 pixels.

Done.

4. Tidy things up. (If wanted)

Please be more specific.

5. Alter the UserName Legend.

How so?

[RiotingSpectre]

Please be more specific.

Remove the dummy threads that redirect you to their new location and instead just move them and put a "Post Moved?" sticky telling people where it'll most likely be.

How so?

Let me see here.... When you're on the homepage and are looking for a specific person that you know that's in a particular group. You go to whichever UserGroup you're looking at and click it. This would bring up those members who are in that particular group.

If you're asking me from a technician standpoint?... I don't remember.

Thank you so much for changing the character limit in posts, time to edit my topic and have the first ridiculously long post !

On another note, just having the 1 day redirects would be nice.

I will consider Arrow Chat. Seems like it could work, but I know I will miss this clunky chat we have here now, and I think some others will too.

[RiotingSpectre]

and I think some others will too.

Nope. I think you're the only one, lol.

Could always run a trial version and post a poll for votes?

Great point, Swift. ArrowChat allows for a 10 day trial.

Am I fucking blind or something?! I can't locate shit on this website, lol. Let's do the trail run.
