| 251 | Proposed Update Package for the site | Signatures don't seem to work right in Firefox. They show up in the middle of original post. Like <a href="http://i.imgur.com/xVqyD.png">this</a>. Is fine in Internet Explorer and Chrome. How does the recent threads thing work? Past few days it doesn't seem to change at all. Threads aren't getting bumped with new posts. Or is this due to issues with the host. Do you have any way or plan to promote this site? Trying to think outside the box... <ul><li>It would be nice if the website can track what each user has already read, and show on the thread list which threads have posts that you have not seen yet.</li> <li>Also, a link to post history on each user's profile page. Useful for trying to find past thread conversations. Each post in history should link to the thread/page where it appears.</li> Those are kind of in the box. I've seen them on other forums and found very useful... <li>What if the forums can change style sheets? (colors, background image, font) Either at the reader's choice, or randomly load, or have a distinct theme for each category of thread? Readability should be maintained and respected, but to emulate different environments or display technologies.</li> <li>I mentioned this back when the preview first went up, if articles can have have different backgrounds that the author can choose. Besides notebook paper, the background could be dot matrix printer (with paper coming up), a typewriter, old computer screen (like DOS), etc. With appropriate font for these things.</li> <li>Similarly, if there are choices for profile background. Besides the floppy disk, maybe there could be other choices like a hoosier cabinet, a chalk board, VHS tape, a circuit board, '57 Ford, a film projector, old-fashioned fridge or oven. More chances for people to display their personality in their profile.</li> <li>Also for the profile: lists. Favorite movies, bands, shows, books, etc. Customizable (not everybody wants to put their favorite bands but maybe somebody wants to have fav inventors or fav British 60s motorcycles.) Is that too MySpace?</li> Not very revolutionary I'm afraid, but it's ideas I got for now | shakin steak | Dec 20, 2012 |  |
| 249 | If you could create your own cereal... | Just bring back this. <img src="http://i.imgur.com/mtAuQ.jpg"</a> Exactly as it was. | shakin steak | Dec 20, 2012 | |
| 248 | Proposed Update Package for the site | Well, once the server/hosting issue is finally put to bed, we can move on with adding stuff we want. This has been the issue with this developer. They do excellent work (for which I would recommend them without hesitation), but they are very poor at communication (for which I would not recommend them at all). This being the case, I am inclined to consider the possibility of moving the site update work to another developer with a reputation for quick and responsive communication IN ADDITION TO quality work. I'm not sure what all of this will amount to as far as time, but you can rest assured that once this whole server/hosting affair is finally a non-issue, I will immediately begin shopping around the update (and all future updates). We already have some additional requests like the animated .gifs and such to begin yet another update list, but I encourage you guys to think outside the box. What could we add to REALLY make this place DIFFERENT and COOL. Don't consider what the cost might be. If something were too expensive to implement, then that does not mean that some facet of that idea wouldn't be affordable. Use those noggins. :) | Vaporman87 | Dec 20, 2012 | |
| 247 | Proposed Update Package for the site | Animated GIFs don't seem to work for avatars. Look at my <img src="http://i.imgur.com/mCrU0.gif"> steak! It's not shaking! This is a travesty! :) Also, I know there were some troubles earlier today. Aside from that, is there any ETA we can think about for this update pack? | shakin steak | Dec 19, 2012 | |
| 246 | 1995 | @blueluigi Oh yeah! I had forgotten about that. We had flooding here that year as well. It happened on Mother's Day that year. My family owned a furniture store at the time, and it ruined everything in the warehouses. We cleaned up what we could and took it all to the local Civic Center and sold the stuff below wholesale. | Vaporman87 | Dec 19, 2012 | |
| 245 | 1995 | We had a flood the year before. This flood destroyed an elementary school I really loved going to, so because of this I had to go to another elementary school, which I didn't really care about. | Mr Magic | Dec 19, 2012 | |
| 243 | 1995 | The biggest thing I remember about 1995 is when a huge flood happened around my area. Thankfully, I lived up on a hill at the time, so the flood had no effect on me, however, some of my mom's friends and her kids came over because their house was being flooded. I don't remember much other than the water being turned off and the power coming on and off. Also during the flood, I remember my family left the house, and we went on a canoe ride all across the neighborhood. The entire area was completely flooded at that point, and it took us probably 10-15 minutes to the next unflooded area. After that, I went on a plane. That's really all I can remember about that whole experience. | blueluigi | Dec 19, 2012 | |
| 242 | 1995 | Me neither. Thank God my family and I don't have to put up with dial-up anymore. | Mr Magic | Dec 19, 2012 | |
| 241 | 1995 | In '95 I was beginning my first year of work in our family business (officially). I also remember that a girl from Washington state flew here to Ohio to meet me face to face for the first time. We had met on AOL in a chat room. Such things were not nearly as prevalent as they are now... (I met my wife on the internet too, LOL). At the time I met her online, AOL had not gone to the monthly fee model. This meant that your time online was charged per minute. I once had a phone bill of $600 because of this. OUCH!!! This reminds me... at that time, my brother and I had purchased a subscription to X-Band, which was the only way you could play console games over the internet against people from across the country. You had to get used to the ssssslllllooooowwwww reaction time of the controls to the game, since the connection was made over a 2600 baud line. I sure don't miss dial up. '95 was also the model year of the first, and last, NEW car I have owned. It was a '95 Subaru Impreza LX that I drove for many years. It had gained 215,000 miles before being totaled by some idiot trying to steal an ATV trailer from a neighbor down the street, who lost the trailer when it slammed into the corner of my car parked along the street. | Vaporman87 | Dec 19, 2012 | |
| 240 | 1995 | Be glad you weren't sent to military school. | Mr Magic | Dec 19, 2012 | |
