A few of us have been posting the desire to see a "mods" section for all of us to post pics of silly, cool, helpful or just plain crazy things we have done to our tanks i.e. some guy and I are have been talking about suspending live rock structures above the substrate - - final pics will look cool, but to see how it was done would be really nice - - -Boss

yes, i dont mind the following:

- a link to my mailbox from my profile (as opposed to going thru the forum area)
- a quick way to search users (maybe see who is online and offline also)
- a Do-It-Yourself section of the forum
- a posting grade as opposed to total number of postings
- maybe a quick jump button at the beginning of the thread that jumps you to the most recent post at the end, so we don't have to scroll (helpful for longer posts or multiple page posts where currently clicking the page number doesnt jump u to that page for some reason)

im on the fence with the chat room thing now... i was in favor of it earlier, but now im thinking without a moderator how out of hand it could get... i dont think the site is ready for chat rooms yet, IMHO :)

And i personally like that the forums dont have too much customization for each user... it starts to clutter up the forum with long signatures, big avatars, and such, and makes reading through a thread very distracting... so i like the simple current setup, i dunno

i would also like the ability to qoute some post...

sigs are cool... as long as they are kept to type only, or a limit somehow... but i would like to see fish/pet list as sigs...

also... i would like to be able to change size/bold/underline/italics and stuff like that to the post we do...

hot linking would be the best thought... maybe a float tag..???

how about a tanks rated counter on your profile.

any ideas for reporting abuse in a thread... maybe a 'report abuse' button to alert webmaster to a thread where abuse is taking place... and a course of action for repeated abuse by same user (leading to flagged account, and in worst case flagged ip address)

by **saltwaterpimp** » Fri Mar 07, 2008 4:57 am

i do agree the chat rooms can wait i also agree with the abuse button .

by **snowboss** » Fri Mar 07, 2008 3:02 pm

the abuse link is a good idea - -other than if the abuser gets all twisted up and starts flagging someone he or she doesn't like just to cause trouble, I think we can all think of an example here - -but i guess the webmaster would become the judge jury and executioner in that case no? just a thought

I agree, with holding off on the chat rooms - -as stated in other posts by myself and others - -i really think the forum, as it is would disappear - - - it's extremely beneficial to be able to go back and research past posts - -Boss
