The Feature Request Thread
« on: November 29, 2006, 04:01:06 PM »
    Okay, so I run this place. Big whoop. You lot are what make it matter. SO it's only fitting you should have a say in what new features get implemented. Thus it is that I'm creating this thread, where you can post your ideas about what features zCh should have. Go wild, the worst I can say is no.

    Stuff that's already been suggested:

    • your_user_name@zetachannel.com email addresses (Redirects and full mailboxes)
  • A better summary page for recent/today's posts (longer list, who posted, time, etc).
  • Thicker navigation, aka, a way to access sub-fora from any-page, whether it's sidebar, top whatever (and if the first one is done, it could replace that in the sidebar)

Mine already were posted somewhere else, but I'll put them here.
* a better summary page for recent/today's posts (longer list, who posted, time, etc).
* thicker navigation, aka, a way to access sub-fora from any-page, whether it's sidebar, top whatever (and if the first one is done, it could replace that in the sidebar)

I doubt I'd have much time anytime soon, but when I do I'd gladly donate development time to implement either or both, if you set up some sort of SCM and gave me access.

Is there a way we can get rid of all the users? 

It'd make this place a hell of a lot easier to moderate.

You mean a "guide to world conquest", right?

Oh, and we need a :rolleyes: smiley (especially as RPG.net doesn't have one anymore).

I miss being able to see who is actively viewing a thread by seeing their name at the bottom of the thread. I think it used to be just above the quick reply on xF.

Yup, and the ability of the forum to know exactly what I intended to type.

So. That filter that turns the word "Ell Oh Ell" into "*laughs*". Can we have it taken out please?

I went down to the sweetsop and brought myself a lollypop. Then someone fell off of their lollerskates and I lol'ed, before going home to download lolita porn. IT WAS A NUCLEAR LOLLERCAUST.

We really don't have an epidemic of people using lol in all seriousness... whenever they do, they're usual using it in an ironic sense, and this word replacement thing really doesn't make the community any better or more intelligent or anything...

Is there a way to get birthdays back into people's profiles?

Just curious.

Not that I ever use that information for remembering things.

Nope.

Not me.

Mind like a steel trap.

Just look at the calendar, silly. If you know the month, you just have to find the name.

(Hint: Look under "April". ;) )
