Is it possible to get an actual spoiler tag, or at least make black the default "glow" color?

As vudu pointed out and I have just tested, choosing to login "forever" doesn't work.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Works for me.

[DAaaMan64]

I wanna put an image in my sig of reasonable size.  Sorry but I actually like it.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Sorry, but you got owned

[DAaaMan64]

Sorry, but you got owned

owned for what?

[decoyman]

The simple machines forum logo is not NEARLY good enough for them to be plastering it all over the place like that.

If you guys can get rid of that ugly thing and all its instances, we will all be grateful, I'm sure.

And that's all I have to say about that.

I like having sigs enabled, please don't make me have to turn them off

Wuss!

Images in sigs are horrible, please don't.


Increase post character limit from 20,000 to unlimited (or 200,000 atleast)
bring back Marquee and flash, if only just in the funhouse
And the emotions below

Any ETA on old topics coming back?

• Sometimes, when I click on a forum link, I get taken to the appropriate page, and sometimes I get a bunch of code. Here's a snippet:
  
  

  /*   This, as you have probably guessed, is the crux on which SMF functions.
     Everything should start here, so all the setup and security is done
     properly.  The most interesting part of this file is the action array in
     the smf_main() function.  It is formatted as so:
  
        'action-in-url' => array('Source-File.php', 'FunctionToCall'),
  
     Then, you can access the FunctionToCall() function from Source-File.php
     with the URL index.php?action=action-in-url.  Relatively simple, no?

• When viewing a topic in the announcements category, there are four navigation links at the top of the page: Nintendo World Report Forums, Announcements, Announcements, Topic: (topic title). One "announcements" takes you to the NWR forum main page, and one takes you to the announcements forum.

.

• Not a new issue, but it really annoys me that links open in a new window.

This!

[that Baby guy]

Bring back the quick-reply, if possible.

Add in the author of the news post in Talkback.

More PMs.

These are just requests, I'm just glad the forums are back.

[Athrun Zala]

quick reply is already in, you have to enable it from your profile (default is off)

[Arbok]

Bring back the quick-reply, if possible.

I'll second this... I really miss that feature.

EDIT:

...never mind then.

Okay I'll give up.
 
But I am totally for putting back marquee and flash.  As well as bringing back quick reply.

[that Baby guy]

Thanks, AZ.  I'll find it.  I'm glad we've got strike-through.

I was wondering if we could see who was currently online like we could before, too.

[Athrun Zala]

at the bottom of the main page, where it says "Users Online" (a more detailed "Who's Online?" here)

[that Baby guy]

You know this forum too well, AZ.  Thanks again.

Edit:  Take away the "hidden user" feature.  I want to know who is online.

[NWR_insanolord]

It's probably there but I can't find it, I would like a way to have more posts per page.

[Maverick]

Really the only problem I have with the new joint is the SMF logos everywhere.  I love the colors and layout already.  Hell, I wish the frontpage matched the forums.

[IceCold]

Is there a way to set the posts-per-page to your own specified number?

[oohhboy]

The forums are now disgustingly fast. This is unacceptable. I demand Plaid speeds.

Not sure whether the insert flash button actually works, but I don't want to find out. Trash it if you will please. Also is there a convenient spoiler button? Also about the spoiler, can you make them reveal when moused over instead of highlight?

[Shift Key]

Just a few things that stand out so far, none of which are what I'd call critical issues:

The icons are average at best - particularly the Home thru Logout ones at the top of the page.
The icons next to each thread aren't easy to distinguish (maybe its just foreign right now).
No option to change post size - I miss 50 per page.

That aside:
"Web 2.0" Blue has been done to death. Is there a better theme around?
20,000 characters is a lot. If you need any more, you should rethink what you're posting (yes bill, this includes you).
Don't move the old posts over - think of this as a clean start with postcounts for those who like to measure their e-ego in that fashion.

"Web 2.0" Blue has been done to death. Is there a better theme around?

Yes. The new forums originally sported a GameCube purple theme. Bring it back, I say.
