New Server Ideas

Post by Sanjøy » Wed Aug 16, 2006 12:03 pm

Any chance of a work only version that does not have the Scottish Elises bit at the top or the logo ?

Option to turn off avatars too.

I always thought that would be a good idea :) and to turn off the massive signature pictures!!!

I'm sure if you find the appropriate PHP code then SimonI will install it.

Let's build a wishlist in this thread - Simon already has some things planned, but needs to install them when the forum isn't being used. Was waiting for an overnight slot.

So, if we get some good ideas, we'll see what's doable and get a list of mods that are actually available (instead of "why can't we?"s) - then we'll pick a bunch that isn't too enthusiastic (so we don't crash the whole bloody thing) and get it done overnight soon.

And is there code for the above???

Don't think it's fair to expect Simon to trawl though pages and pages of code on our behalf.

Quick reply box a la freeyabb - Simon is looking to do this overnight when he has a chance
Ability to embed video from yourtube etc using HTML code from sites - bad for anyone on a slow connection, links give you the option to view it if you want to
IP posting of users - don't think this is necessary, we can already find that out if we need to
Diff skin options - there already is 1 other option, find a skin you like and ask Simon to install it and he might
Weather forcast applets - why?? user Forecastfox in Firefox if you need to!
Remove of the ~ ~ !!! - easily done

It's also the same colour as my CAD screen so it make it harder for folk to know what I'm up to

This looks interesting for the Meets section:

MOD Name: Event Registration
Author: NetizenKane
MOD Description: The Event registration adds a new function to postings which provides up to three clickable options at the top of a thread. By clicking an option you register for it with your username and the registration date. Registrations can be customized, limited by users and can have an expiry date. This can be used as a registration for an event, a poll with visible usernames etc.
