    Actual OUYAForum Suggestions Part Two. *Updated*

    I've been browsing the forums like any regular person would and have come across a trend of people wanting more things from this forum. The spike in interest to improve on the website via personal or professional preferences is always good to be spoken about.

    What would you like to suggest for OUYAForum.Com?

    The most common things I've heard of is...

    - Animated avatars that aren't required to be useable with the paid subscription model idea.
    - Pictures in Signatures.
    - Added forum sections.

    My request are Altering The Username Legend and Recipients Users Count.

    I hope pics in sig gets implemented, it helps make things more personalized. Har

    I'd like the pictures within the sigs. As with all forums you just make a requirement of how tall and wide and how many there can be.

    Also I like the custom titles enabled

    those things. Instead of preset ones you can make it so you can put in custom ones and those are fun. And I'd consider lowering the reputation thresholds for different levels. I think riot is the only one with a fan club so not everyone gets reputation out the but
    I'm amazing, you probably just haven't realized it yet.

    i am not a person that uses a bunch of forums and tries to comment on everything. however, i have been somewhat active here for the last week or so. i guess it is the "new car smell" of the ouya and all the possibilities (and my lack of knowledge about a thing).

    anyway, i am 100% against "pics in signatures" and "animated avatars" (if that means something like gifs).

    that kind of stuff is really distracting! i generally hide those things with the ad blocker, but for someone that doesnt spend a whole lot of time on forums, it is a real turn off to be blasted with high intensity graphics if i am just dropping in to get a question answered! and, no offense, but its the people that have 2000 posts that use things like that - as if they need more attention drawn to their words!

    anyway, i like the basic no frills setup that exists now.

    I've looked into the usergroup legend, and quite frankly there is nothing on the forums to display who is in each usergroup automatically. This means we would have to update it manually each time there is a change made, and personally I don't think it would be used enough to warrant that type of work.

    Maybe for paid users and administrators, as I see some problems coming from everybody have custom titles. This second part I don't understand.

    I'm not too thrilled of the idea to be honest. It's the thing I hear most commonly requested, but as you said they have their problems. No offense taken as it wasn't my request to begin with.

    Understood, but it's not like we have constant amount of staff changes or anything.

    Thats not a bad idea. At least for the paid users. If they only get it I don't think it's something admins/mods should have since it's confusin' And I mean the threshold for the different levels. Like your the only person on level 2. And thats a bit hard. It's sort of a useless feature since it takes so long to level up and no one can tell your actual points in any other way by just your post.

    Well thats why I said you limit them. Usually forums have a set total height all your stuff can hit. And like a limit of three images each. So like I think a good limit is 250 high. And you can bring in the ever popular userbars.

    Well you can edit that existing staff thread. Add in everyone's name and a link to their profile.

    Hmm, I couldn't give a crap whether I have a custom title, but maybe any user above a regular member would be okay. We don't have too many people above that to warrant a problem.

    If the threshold were to be lowered, then we would be in the same place as we are now. I'd be at a higher level while you guys remain below. A useless feature indeed, but that's not the way to go. I also see problems with people downvoting/upvoting whoring when they can see other people's reputation. I've seena similar feature get out of hand on a previous forum and we had to remove the feature altogether.

    Yeah, that could work. We can also edit the limit of the file size itself for greater control and would save on bandwidth

    Seems like something nobody would read.

    That's the exact thing you asked for :/ why would you ask for it and say it's pointless.

    This is more of a "Please fix" instead of a feature, but say im typing a really long response to a thread, when im done it'll always say something like " You aren't logged in" or "You don't have permission to perform this action" so then i have to refresh the page, login, and then sometimes it'll post to the thread, other times it won't and i'll have to type it all over. Can this please get fixed? When I'm loged in i want to stay loged in. its really annoying..
