Some forum improvements.

-This one is simple. Put a bar with all the [b] [i] [u] [img] etc.. on the top of the reply so that we don't always have to do it ourselves and screw up.

-Put something like "Who's viewing the forum?" on the bottom of each forum

For example:

Online users (5): Joeisawesome Wiimaster Sanddude cheddargirl Lightnin
I click on Misc. and go to the bottom of the topics.
Online users (2): Joeisawesome Lightnin

You guys get it?

Re: Some forum improvements.

Those make sense... I think the former is built into FluxBB software, so it would make sense. But it might result in a lot of spam, like forum blocks have been used.

I think the latter might be a little bit harder to build in, as it isn't a part of the FluxBB software, and while it might be a cool new feature, it wouldn't be particularly useful.

The first one might result in spam, you have a point.

as for the second one, the normal "Who's online?" isn't particularly useful at all.

But there was no effort involved in putting that in there. Making a "Who's viewing this thread?" section would require a lot of effort for something that's not useful.

There already is something sort of like your second idea. At the bottom of the main forum there's something there just like it. smile

I'm with coolstuff on this - I don't see the major benefit.


I fall: It's a tragedy. You fall: It's comedy.
Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.
