The Suggestions Thread
I'm sure many of us here are eager to watch this place develop. However, some of us may have suggestions for Balu the Bare as far as the board's layout/features/subforums. With only one administrator, I feel as if one thread would better control all wishes and requests that we may have.
Post within reason here, and let's help out in trying to make this place even better!

Re: The Suggestions Thread
I would suggest having mods here, though a forum population of less than 20 kinda defeats that purpose.

Re: The Suggestions Thread
I don't now if this is possible, but I didn't realize we couldn't edit our post titles when I made my markball thread. is that something that can be changed?

Re: The Suggestions Thread
It doesn't look like that can be done, but I'm still digging around. From what I've seen so far this site is pretty simple. No special features that I've discovered yet.NoE38 wrote:I don't now if this is possible, but I didn't realize we couldn't edit our post titles when I made my markball thread. is that something that can be changed?
Actually, because of my work schedule I was looking to throw a moderator in here to keep better eye on things than I can. I'll be making an announcement on that later today.CCLXXXVII wrote:I would suggest having mods here, though a forum population of less than 20 kinda defeats that purpose.

Re: The Suggestions Thread
I'm really confused on how to upload a PFP, does it have to be from online? Do I use an image-hosting site? I'm completely lost.

I think it has to be from an image hosting site. To get the same pfp I had before, I had to go to where it was uploaded on imgur. It didn’t work when I tried to upload it directly.

Make the page numbers bigger if possible, it took me a while to find them.

Just increased the size of the font a bit. Let me know if that helps.MyTeamIsDr.Pepper wrote:Make the page numbers bigger if possible, it took me a while to find them.

Re: The Suggestions Thread
I feel like having all the sports split up on the home page when the forum is still small is a little weird. For Football, Baseball, and Basketball there is only one thread, and there are zero for soccer. I think they would be easier to access if they were all just under one section for sports fan fiction, where you didn’t have to click on each individual sport from the home page.
Hopefully this makes sense it was kinda hard to describe lol

Re: The Suggestions Thread
While it looks a bit empty now, I like this choice, as if someone is looking specifically for a basketball thread, there's a specific place for it. Once there are more people, the areas will fill up.DoctaC wrote:I feel like having all the sports split up on the home page when the forum is still small is a little weird.

Basically this.

If it stays this size for a long time I'll probably prune it a bit, but for now it'll stay like this.

Re: The Suggestions Thread
I do wish to do a soccer thread but I'm a bit curious as to whether we can use real life stuff as the basis for it or not.DoctaC wrote:I feel like having all the sports split up on the home page when the forum is still small is a little weird.
