Features to improve board?

[Ed]

Name some possible features and I'll look into getting them.

Blogs are coming shortly.

[king billy]

One good way would be to get rid of "sticky's"

[tony d]

Weekly caption competitions would be good... Bit childish but normally a fun thing to keep a site ticking over..

[tony d]

Free access to certain more descerning night time sites would be a quality feature...

[Ed]

One thing that I thought was good about the old board is you could change your username at any point yourself, anyone like to see that feature added here? stops people signing up for multiple accounts too I'd reckon.

Thats possible on proboards, Isn't it?

Always seemed like a sensible option to me. can't see why it shouldn't be added.

[bg]

thought you didn't want people signing on with different user names???

[bg]

I have been demoted??? First team sub no less, lol

It would do, that option simply enables you to change your posting name on the same account, so it would stop people signing up again under a new name. in theory..

[Bradford Loyal]

One IP address, one name, you know it makes sense.

One good way of improving this board would be banning tony d. I don't know what the MOD put in the squaddies tea these days, but whatever it is, it's quite clearly having a bad effect on the lad.

[bg]

Can we have a spell check..............because I am lazy..................

Plus will somebody tell me how to get my avatar on, and how do you get those little pics next to your name?



BG

[tony d]

Ouch that hurt ....

Im going nowhere though.. Sorry.....

[tony d]

I know it wasnt, it was Loyal... Hes someone i look up to anyway so i will let it go...

Just look at his predictions.... Someone with that much talent deserves respect... A true bookies dream....

[tony d]

whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooosssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Bradford Loyal]

Hey hey, calm down calm down. Come on chaps, we don't want to see 'thread closed' again do we? 'Twas was merely a prank for my own amusement.

[king billy]

Who is Bradford Loyal BTW? Just out of interest!! I've figured that "Beaverbantam" is Wisey!!

[baldbantam]

Come on Matt, don't tell me you haven't figured it out from the name, style of writing and middle of the night timing of postings?

[Bradford Loyal]

I'm off to bed now. So can you tell me what my style of writing is so I can read it in the morning when I get up at 8.15? I'd be most grateful.

[baldbantam]

Style of writing: articulate, intelligentish and spelt correctly! :D

[bg]

funny, witty, and knowledgable on footie matters:)

Has tendancy to support one particular scottish club.


BG

[king billy]

"funny, witty, and knowledgable on footie matters"

I thought it was Ranger till you posted that Toni - heh heh heh :D

[ChuckleBantam]

"funny, witty, and knowledgable on footie matters:) "


Either Toni has been on the cooking sherry again or her hubby has been lacing her food with sarcasm pills!

[bg]

well it was tongue in cheek chucks. Most of us enjoy reading Rangers posts:D)




BG

[Bradford Loyal]

I bet the Rangemeister will love that bg. He was always good for a giggle was BR, what I liked about him was he didn't take himself too seriously. I'll certainly pass on your kind words if I see him or come across him on the Gent.

[tony d]

Bl is defo BR no one else write stuff the same way...

As for this thread being closed, why would it i didnt realise someone had said somethng so bad.... Less that poem of course.... :confused:

[bg]

you do that BL;)

[bg]

I like the way you can point your mouse at the thread and it will give you the first line, when did that happen?

Go on don't tell me, it has always been there

[Ed]

I think theres a chess game let me go searching.

[Chasser]

trivia quiz section?

[bg]

oh yes Chassar, now you are talking, lol

[Ed]

Quiz is coming soon.

[Barmy]

Oh, that should be fun. :D

[bg]

it has got to be better than my poor attempts at pool today Barmy, sorry I gave you such a poor game:(

[Barmy]

Wasnt too bad. When you started potting them near the end I thought you were gonna make a comeback. Will have to have a re-match sometime... will go easy on you then. ;)

[Jumbo]

Why can we only post 1 personal message in a minute? Please can that be changed?

[Barmy]

So you dont spend all day private messaging people. ;) :D

[citygirl]

where's the chatroom...please?

i've asked as nicely as i'm gunna!

grrrr

:-P

[tony d]

How about a card system for bad posters ...

Green for the first warning of future conduct...

Yellow a 1 week ban and final warning..

Red evicted for good... Applied to their posts for good until they have disappeared into the abyss of lost posts..

These are for more severe posters such as well me at the moment lol..

All have amnesty up to this point lol...

[Ed]

You know i've been considering that card scheme, I'm not sure if you were joking or not but.

I was going todo it along the lines of the football league.

5 yellow cards - 1 day ban.
1 red card - 3 day ban.

not sure how you'd govern such a feature and what constitutes red and yellow but it's food for thought.

Chatroom - is on it's way - i've got a life off the boards funny as it may seem hehe...

[citygirl]

but i'd have thought with skill like yours, it would've been quicker...

either that or you'd do it to show off :D

[Ed]

You been talking to my wife about things being quicker??? :D

[citygirl]

no...do i need to? ;)

[tony d]

Nah thought it was a good idea thats all ED....

I have one of those t-shirts you are advertising on your tag line....It was bought as a present...

[citygirl]

EXCELLENT ED!!!

thankyoooooooooooooooo vewy much

can't wait till someone wants to talk to me :D

[bg]

Can we have a spell check on this site Ed?

because I can't spell;)

[baldbantam]

wotts speeleng?

[boyracingbantam]

I like the fact that when i come i can see how many people are viewing each Forum?? Can we have one better as well to see how many are viewing each thread?? No biggie just if its easy!!

[Bantam Of The Opera]

Look under the quick reply box it shows who is viewing the thread

[boyracingbantam]

Yes i know but i meant before you enter the thread!! Where there is abig list of threads!!!

[Rick]

You can't see hidden users anyway, so the figures you see aren't 100%.

[Chasser]

Is there anyway we could have a "live" quiz night based on something like
"a question of sport" & have teams ie of 4, you fire the questions & we post
replies etc. & say a "quick fire round" quickest reply to the question gets the point;

Just a thought.

[Bradford Loyal]

Being able to logon and be invisible to other users would be great.

[kiko]

deletion option, of original posts would be great e.g if its on wrong board

[Cookie Monster]

How about a section of the forum that any funny/interesting threads are moved to after they have died a death and been locked?

This will make any classics easier to find in the future

Likewise we can have one for all the nonsense spoutings of ridiculous gobbledygook. It can be called the tonyd hall of fame!!

[Garlic Breath]

What about splitting the board into two parts. One for the die-hard full time lifeblooders,and the other for part-timers and shirkers.

[B_i_N]

How about giving kiko his own section, one only he can see when he logs on?

[Rick]

Best idea yet, I'll mention it in the mods section!

[kiko]

a 'note-pad/book' thingey for jots,
ps one of my jokes made google, don't know if thats good or bad
it seems i've been banned from over 18s by thorney's bouncering/ stewarding- my jokes must be too blue
the political section should be scrapped from a football board, and replaced with an 'extra' section for 'things in the news'

[tony d]

Only if we can have one for the worst predictions in the boards history...

"Chuckles pearlers" would be apt i think...;)

[kiko]

pink or blue dot next to name and a pink/ blue dot for toni d?

[imax bradford]

a code of conduct, bit like having the rules of pool on the wall when playing pool to stop any fights/ argy bargy

Rules List (http://www.claretandbanter.co.uk/showthread.php?t=135)

I think rule 1 may interest you.

[imax bradford]

when people log in, as well as the private welcome, how about an introduction, eg. hello everybody, everybody, beerbantam has entered the forum

[Ed]

new design coming soon!

[bg]

I would like the date the right way round;)

[Jumbo]

The 'new posts' section is a bit naff tbh!! It says 'sorry there are no new threads....click here...' and then there are new threads....what's that about? And can they stay in the list a bit longer... even if you have read them...maybe for a couple of hours???

[Jumbo]

And when replying to a pager, sometimes the box closes and you lose everything you have typed!! Also, I would like all the smilies to be available on the shoutbox, along the top maybe and maybe a box with them in when you're doing a new post. Maybe it could be a box they you can minimise if you dont want to use smilies or if you dont need the codes...

[Jumbo]

While I'm at it....lol...could the options you chose for the text in the shoutbox (colour, font) be saved to your user name and then be changed manually rather than the options being lost everytime you leave the home page???

[panther]

my goodness you are off on one tonight ! lol


And when replying to a pager, sometimes the box closes and you lose everything you have typed!!

that is so frustrating ! especially when you have typed almost a full box ! Ive noticed its when someone either posts or logs in ! in otherwords the screen underneath seems to refresh itself - if you see what I mean !

[Jumbo]

ah right......i just thought it was cos im too slow at thinking what to type!!

I'll think of more things soon....
