I've been changing some code within the past week or so to make the MacStack theme take advantage of the features of phpbb, and to enhance some of the functionality to the features I previously added.

What are the things you think I/we can do to make this site better? Are there any features you think we can add or anything you just can't live without? Or interface tweaks which have been bugging you?

embedded youtube videos?

I still think a separate media forum is a good idea.

I changed the name of those smilies to help the search on the smilies page work better, but older posts still point to the old smilies.

It's a stupid thing in phpbb3. If you add new smilies that use the same bbcode(I replaced happy.png with smile.png, it still points to the old images). I'll figure out some way to get it straightened out, but for now, changing your signature and then changing it back will make it point to the new Finder.

It's cool; they seem to have started working on their own. Meanwhile I've added the extra :p to it, so it's changed anyway.

I think the What are you listening to? thread should have its own forum so I can stop getting needlessly excited every time I see there are new posts in the Chat Room.

Yeah, I'd like that too. We can throw in a "What are you watching" thread into it as well.

Or something.

It could be called "Nobody gives a human waste about what you watch/listen/read, but post it here anyway"
I hate embedded video.

It might make sense to include some javascript in youtube links so that when you click on them, they change to embedded videos. I think that would be better than embedding videos.
Should we have a movies thread? Most of us like movies of one type or another. A discussion place for movies of all types, whether it's romantic comedies :p , 50's science fiction movies, or a good, heart-warming horror flick.

There seems to be some demand for a music/television/movies forum. What would be a good title?

(And although you can't see it, I added the same search from the smilies and FAQ pages to the moderation page, so I can easily find all of those topics and move them into the new forum)

I think "Front Row" would be great, but alas - someone's already using it! :p

So, the annoying "What are you listening to" thread is there - meaning that the same problem as before is happening, only in a different forum.

Yeah, but you can ignore the whole forum but for once a day or whatever.

And you can assume that if the most recent post is by arkayn, then it's the listening thread ;)

I feel as though a "ignore thread" feature is needed.

I dislike "fail" or phail" or "fale" or any leet versions. I think making this site the best it can be will involve the absence of the aforementioned words.

Now I've just arrive, but I would love it if "Topic - " was removed from the window titles. In fact, I wouldn't mind MacStack.net being gone either, the more I can see in my history menu, the happier I am. ;)

But in general, I'm impressed here! :D

I would love it if "Topic - " was removed from the window titles, too. That's why I changed it from "View Topic - ". The words are easy to change or remove. It's the ' - ' that's included somewhere ridiculous.

But now that you've brought it back to my attention, I should find it and remove it.

Does it have to be a"-"? Can't it be a bullet "•" Like the one at the other end?
