Several things that I suggest

Gary King | Jan 13 2006
  • Change the default vBulletin logo to something else, such as the default 43F logo, or remove it entirely, as it just indicates a stock installation of the forum software. It also looks just like the official forums, and we want a sense of uniqueness, don't we? :p
  • Place a link somewhere in the header to the homepage
  • Remove 'forum' from the censored words for the custom user titles. Pretty please? :D
That's all that I have for now :) Just the basic stuff to get things started :D

  • It appears that clicking on the Quick Reply button for each post does not work - it only works when I click on the Quick Reply button for the first post in a thread. I tested this in both Firefox 1.5 and Safari, on OS X.

Y'know I noticed that too. It was working fine the other day, and now it's not. I've added a couple plugins -- I wonder if the "norel" parsing is messing something up. Will experiment. (And thanks!)

  • I see that you have an RSS feed for the forum now, but there are also ways to add RSS feeds on a per-forum basis. There is an option in the vBulletin options, and there are also plugins available, such as this one.

Yes! That's the swellest, and I'm totally into it as long as the bandwidth doesn't get too crazy (as you know the board itself is hard on bandwidth and adding ubiquitous RSS can get disastrous fast). I'll have a look, though, because, I agree, it would be swell.

Thanks for these, man. I appreciate your expertise!

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
