Quick reply... bleh. I scoff at ye!
Anyway, I saw a neat mod the other day that lets people see your sig when they view your profile.
There was also a mod I saw that allowed you to do a forum search just by topic title (right now you can search by title and message, or just message, but not just by title).
I think those would be good additions, but don't bother if it's going to be too much trouble.

It should be under "Addons"
I'm going to be very busy the next couple of days. I just found out a night driver has quit. That means long hours. Bleh!!
The mods should be in place this coming Monday. (I'm off that day.)

There's a box at the bottom of the thread display page that you can quickly type a message into, instead of hitting the reply/quote buttons on the page.Vuldari wrote:"Quick Reply Box"? How does that work?

Sounds like it would just encorage people to spam the boards even more with short, meaningless messages like:Shadow Wulf wrote:theres a box at the bottom of the thread to let you reply something really quick in the same page with out having to go to the reply page, but you cant have smilies, its only for something you want to say quickly.Vuldari wrote:"Quick Reply Box"?

"Cool" -/end post
or "Me too" -/end post
Do we really need to make that even easier to do?

I think the other ideas are great, especially the gender idea, no more mistakes! Now what should my custom title be...
While I don't like quick replys, maybe it's just me. Yet I always love the quality of posts, no 'yeah' 'cool' or 'me too', I can't deny that I've done that but those are quick replies, and your creating a box just for that.

Slap on a spelling and grammar checker and corrector! My dreams come true! I have to say I would really love the spelling checker, I don't have very good spelling myself.Silverclaw wrote:Sounds great!
hmm, is it possiable to get a spell-check thingy?

For those who doesn't like the quick reply (Actualy, it'll be a "super quick reply") You can turn that off in your profile. Or by clicking on the quick reply button.
Also, you'll be able to put in your date of birth. People can see it when they look at your profile. It'll also show up at the bottom of the main page if today was your birthday.
These items, plus a forum upgrade from 2.13 to 2.17 will be done on Monday, August 1st, 2005.
