Here are my suggestions, but a little more wide:

Scratch Forums:

Accessible User Forum Profile Pages
Customisable Forum Page
- Different Background
- Different Font
- Different Color Scheme

I'll add more things tomorow. 

I think we could have the user-page default to the user's CSS/Theme/Skin, how about that?

what do you mean?

The user page background/font/color scheme would be the same as the theme they chose for the rest of the forum.

Note: Old fashioned forum blocks are changing very soon.

what do you mean?    do you mean scratch 2.0 will have more blocks?

No (although it's true), I mean that these will be coming to the forums.

I made a sourceforge for ScratchBB.

Give me your sourceforge username and I will add you to the contributors. Sparks can be an admin.

forgot to give the link...: https://sourceforge.net/projects/scratchbb/

The sourceforge idea is pretty cool!

Magine, I had to read your A and B out loud slowly to work out exactly what was going on    Perhaps we should have a different theme system for user's pages? Rather than the direct CSS editing we would have for the main forum, we could allow easy colour-picking and background image selecting for the user (possibly with an option to hard-code it) so that everyone can easily customise their page, no matter whether they know any coding or not.

My Username is "purplesparks".. sparks was taken ¬_¬

Well I was certainly thinking that CSS builders for the forums would be easy and totally worthwhile as side projects. It's not exactly hard 

I'm working on setting up a eclipse pdt Dev enviroment Virtual Mahine I can set it up to  use svn / cvs (soureforge) and bug-tracking to display tasks

Hmm. I will make magnie a project admin.

BTW: Why not create a CSS for every user, so they could hand code theirs if they want.

I don't know if you saw, I said my username on Sourceforge is purplesparks, sparks was taken

If you need the SVN and CVS login details, I can give you those, even though I would recommend TortoiseSVN.

The login details are your Sourceforge ones.

I'm gbear605 on sourceforge.

My job with the project is downloading the updated code, and hosting it on my website when it needs to be hosted.  I'll give Magnie, sparks, and a few others FTP info as well.

I think the user's choice should have 2 options, either basic or advanced; basic would be what would show on the user's page (for others) and could be what the user sees (if they have chosen basic) and if they choose advance, well it's up to them what they do to the forums.

Sourceforge has SVN, CVS and usual download, but if you can provide a mirror, thanks.

I just requested a scratchbb.scratchr.org domain.


Now just pray.

I think that would be ideal! I have one of those for the block library.

However, Lighnin' really doesn't like giving the details to more than one trusted Scratcher so we'll end up with the same problem as I have with the block library. We'll have to code a back-end that lets members of the project upload and edit code to the server without needing the FTP or login details.

On my blocks.scratchr.org account, the SQL is damaged for no discernible reason so we may have to use an external database, although resources.scratchr.org have never mentioned SQL problems so it may only be my account.
