Suggestions to improve the forum
First suggestion: There are icons near new posts and threads but they go away after 30 minutes. Change it so that the icon disappears after the user click on the new post, and if the post isn't read within 24 hours, remove the icon.
Second suggestion: If the mouse hovers over a post title, a small window will appear next to the mouse and contain text of the first paragraph or first 500 characters and the window disappears if the mouse is moved.
Third suggestion: Run all the posts and threads through a filter that replaces any 'f' that are at the beginning a word and replace it with 'ph' jk

I really don't want a rep system here to be honest. I think it's completely useless. But that IS only my opinion, so, if the majority of people like it, then WTH, put it here. Oh, and another forum suggestion, make an Arts sub-forum

Re: Suggestions to improve the forum
Well it's better than having titles based on number of posts, a person shouldn't be judged on the number of things they've posted- a person who posts loads of useless junk shouldn't become a 'respected member'
It's about the quality of your the posts, the things you've made and how helpful you are, ect.

Oh, you mean a rep system that can change your title based on your rep, then that's a great idea!
I thought it was just a rep system where it doesn't change anything.

I was referring to Ze Roob
And the ranks based on the number of posts can be changed to EVERYTHING?
So that's the reason why there are custom titles pooping up everywhere. Now I want one too D:

No then I'd just ban them. And change their title to something sarcastic.

Re: Suggestions to improve the forum
i've got an idea: post attatchments. we could post phun scenes, screenshots, txt, and archives (zip, or whatever). i am in several forums where this is possible, and was wondering if it could be done here.

Which requires a mod as PunBB doesn't support child boards by default.

Re: Suggestions to improve the forum
my suggestion is that every user over 100 post or EVERY user^^ can vote for another user. (stars,level[for zuriki;-)],phunment... ) or something other. i think yu know what i mean with phunment?? if one user is getting useable help and want to thank -> VOTE
emilk sayd --> Soft/breakable objects: Will need a lot of work, but I really want this feature in Phun, so expect it at some (distant) point in time.
