LukeZ34 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Just giving everyone a sneak peek of the new forum software were moving to in middle March. What you see in the pictures below is the default forum theme, but I plan on allowing 4 other theme options for you guys to pick from. New Features will include: Calendar"Ignore User" function"Report thread to Moderator" functionDonation capabilities+ some more that I can't think of right now. Anyway, pictured below are views of the full forum, calendar, and thread views so enjoy them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 nice, looks new. what would be really cool is if there was a way to make like a w-body radio station on there. not sure what it would take or if we have the resources but i think it would be nice. cant wait till its up and running.

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 That will be a nice change. Can we have custom titles, or some way of getting custom titles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeZ34 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Custom titles are still being decided upon. That will be revealed after the upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 So, the donating members. You only have access to these features if you donate every year, or if you donate once? Also, the amount you donate, does that determine how many of these "special" features you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossman429 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 "Ignore User" function That would have been nice a few times So how does that work? You just don't see their posts? Would make for a confusing sort of situation if that person was pivitol to the thread, I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the amount you donate, does that determine how many of these "special" features you get? This is what were still deciding on. Custom titles will probably be permitted after a donation is made.. at least that's what were leaning towards right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can add and remove users from your ignore list at any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay3800 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Custom titles are still being decided upon. That will be revealed after the upgrade. I actually much prefer standardized titles. What's the point of a post-based title system if everyone can customize their own? I really like the new look of the forum though! Looks sweet! How soon will it be implemented? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 What's the point of a post-based title system if everyone can customize their own? There are still those 5 stars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 The forum will be a pleasant change to everyone I think, and it'll be much nicer than this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92LuminaRS Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Is that YaBB? The donations thing, are you talking about like over at AR where you earn $ for each post and can use it for getting things on the forum? I think it looks pretty sick!

1990lumina Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 I'll admit I like it ....and I like the donation feature...I've always wanted to give Shawn, or whoever ispaying the bills something for providing me with such a cool forum...out of all the other ones I frequent this ine is unique.

Guest Anonymous Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 can you update the colors at all? It looks very bland, like the way it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1138 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 can you update the colors at all? It looks very bland, like the way it is now. There are about 4 user-selectable themes that you can use, with previews, all different. We can add more, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 that would be good, but this color scheme is very windows NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RareGMFan Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I've got a suggestion. I know the mods probably won't go for this, but....I'd make it mandatory to at LEAST donate a buck or two just to be able to post, period. And then maybe a different set amount to be able to obtain other features. I don't think it's fair/cool that Shawn has had to flip the bill all these years, with nothing but complaints to show for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Looks awesome! That "Ignore User" function should come in handy 8) . Will the "ignored party" know that you're ignoring them at all? So is it going to be easier to donate, or do we still have to send our donations to Shawn directly? I've said it before and it bears repeating, I'll gladly donate some $$$ (again) to keep this site up and running... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
