I can't minimize the news (okay that's fine) the metaboard (eh not important enough) or the podcast board (many of us never read/post there, sorry) categories.

Since we are trying to put focus in minmax while encouraging other boards, I am trying to give other boards a shot. Consequently I have to zoom on to the main forum URL. Minimizing things (like the trash, I don't need to read those to behave myself) allow me to focus where I do wish to post. Can we allow the three or atleast last two mentioned boards to be minimized similarly please?

Shame there isn't a minimize or customization for certain boards within a maximized boards categories.

Is there a way to unsubscribe from a thread? I'd particularly like to unsubscribe from the "I agree" thread...

Got another thing: search bar. It doesn't search current thread first. I don't like loading 15pages to figure out where I last posted in a big thread. 1 click search was a great feature.

It seems that while you cannot access the PbP-section when you are not logged in, there is no problem what so ever to get into them if they are in the "latest post"-list. If they are to be hidden from prying eyes, that should be taken care of.

How come you guys never wave?

Please send me a PM if you give me kudos. I'm interested in what I'm doing right.

You mean threads in individual sub-boards?

Yes, the sub-boards as well.

I don't know if this is the right place to bring it up, but I've noticed the even though users are informed that "Images in your signature must be no greater than 50x50 pixels," the IMG tags that would be needed to insert one are disabled.

Naturally, I'm bringing this up because I figured out a brilliant way to share my Glorious Signature with the world without breaking any rules.

I also have a matching "Glorious Signature," but image size rules prevent me from posting it here. You'll just have to use your imagination.

Signature images and links are disabled until a certain threshold is reached.
This is an anti spambot measure.

Ah, I see. What's the threshold?

There is no threshold. I thought the signature image restriction was something to do with bandwidth?

Thank god for that, I really dislike signature images.

I don't suppose there's any way to increase the height of superscripts, to get more separation?  It looks kind of weird when a monster has a bonus feat: Iron WillB

EDIT: Nevermind... I had it in a table, which compressed it.  :banghead

If there's too little separation in tables for your tastes, you could put it in parantheses after the feat instead, like Iron Will(B).
Please send private messages regarding board matters to Forum Staff instead.

Good idea.  I will do that, in fact.

Wait, I'm all confused now. Are images allowed in signatures at all? If they're not, why's there that text about image size restrictions? If they are, how do I get one?

What was ever decided re: Handbook Editors?

have a drink. It's fun, right? Wrong. Don't smother your kids."

There will be no Handbook Editors for the present.

Can the administrator name tag color be changed to a less glaring red, please? Whenever I see a bright red name and those five squares of fury, it's distracting and gives a first impression of heavy moderation going on, even if it's just an admin talking in a thread or something. In any case, the strong red color is distracting.

Could we get a Chat feature? I can't vouch for other people using it if it existed, but I know I would. It just feels more casual and supports multiple-topic discussions that don't necessarily need threads.
