Lizz's suggestions for the NEW forum

Okay, well I'm not trying to change anything here... I just thought I would request a few mods to which may make this new forum, a little more... Like home :)

-------------------

Firstly, whenever i've been on forums, i've always suggested that the page just after you post something, is removed. You know the "Your message has been posted successfully" page, to which you have to click on one of the two links to carry on?

Well I suggest that I gets removed, or so that it's automatically carried on so we don't have to click any of the links, because let's face it... When you're posting as much as Cobra or Byte is... And even you Eagle... That page gets rather annoying.

I've found a thread where you can remove it, that's if you don't know how Eagle ;)

It's located here or maybe you can find another way to do it if that way does not work with this version of PHP BB.

-------------------

Secondly, i've also always made use of the Quick reply function to which most PHPBB forums have, and I find them much easier to use generally. That's why I suggest that you add a nice little Quick Reply at the bottom of every topic, so that people can easily reply to threads.

I've found a good one here that I hope you could use, if not... There are plenty more out there which you could possibly use.

-------------------

Thirdly, with the stories going on, it's nice to be able to have an up to date account of them, from Byte, Eagle and Cobra themselves... However, that's putting them out of their way. What if I were possible to watch the topics and whenever someone posts in them, we get an e-mail / notification?

Well this mod allows it so there is a "Subscribe" button to each thread so that, I would imagine, if we subscribe to them that we get an e-mail or something telling us that a user has posted.

This would, I find, be better for stories such as Byte's or Eagles, since then if we don't see their post on NG about an updated chapter... We can see it when we get an e-mail about it and read it.

-------------------

Finally, this is just a small mod which doesn't really do much but add the flag of your country underneath your avatar picture I think. I thought that with this, we could see where everyone is from and it would be nice to see that as I would hope we have members from all around the globe.

With this mod it's only a small one, so it shouldn't be a problem to set up.

It's located here.

I would hope that these suggestions are okay and that, there isn't that many. Haha. I'm not trying to change this forum to suit my own needs, I just thought I'd suggest a few things to make it feel a bit more, as I said before... Like home.

I would be grateful if you could take these suggestions into account. If I have any more, I'll just post in here.

Thanks :)

Ooops. I apologise for that mistake Ismael, thanks for pointing that out, I'd still like Eagle to install that mod though, just to see what it does. Haha. Well that's me subscribed to Byte's and Eagle's stories :P

Re: Lizz's suggestions for the NEW forum

Just a heads up, Eagle - I tried some of the other skins, and they aren't properly formatted for full width - and they have default logos. Do you have plans to update those other skins, or take them out? If you need a hand, please let me know.

:D
