On this site what is your favorite feature(s)? Mine are the number of posts one made, and if someone is online or not.

Being able to delete someones post :D

I like the weather and holding the mouse cursor over the title of the thread to see the first post.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one about the holding the cursor over a title to read the first post. Is there a way to make it to where you can read more than one posto have like a drag and drop for instant response for thread one, two, three, etc? That is another fave of mine. There are so many featues that I cannot remember them all.

My favorite feature is how you can "pre-read" the thread before actually loading the whole thread (like Jacob S said). It helps because some days the site runs slow and you don't feel like loading every post or else you'd be here all day. :)

I think it tends to not want to remain floating that it will stop appearing before I can read it all. Is there anyway I can fix this?

The feature that blocks 'signatures' from showing up. Most sigs are boring, repetitive and downright obnoxious, Mark. Makes for a much cleaner, leaner meaner thread.

Maybe we need something to block avatars? :lol:

"Most sigs are boring, repetitive and downright obnoxious, Mark"

Um, I'm not sure if you're refering to me or one of the other Marks. But if it's me - what's wrong with my signature?

Ans. 1 - "...boring, repetitive and downright obnoxious..."

Ans. 2 - Nothing because I no longer see it.

Ans. 3 - Avatars can be blocked in CP/Options

I think signatures like avatars are a matter of personal taste. Some love 'em. Some see them as "gimmicky" and some compalin about them. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

Hmm, I've never had a boat as an avatar before....

Folks,

We have been fairly liberal about the use of avatars here on the board. But please remember that many folks who visit the board may be coming here from work, I wouldn't want to see anyone loose their job or access to the internet because of a "racy" avatar posted here.

So PLEASE keep them clean, and before you post an avatar think about if you would get trouble by your boss if he saw you looking at that in the office.

Thanks!

BTW I think the Gold Member have a new feature they are gonna love. :)

Of course unfortunately its a special beta test for the Gold Members so they can't talk about it yet.

If everything goes well it should be available to everyone soon. :)

Nick, since you can't see it how would you know. I know it may be boring and repetitive, but the "downright obnoxious"?!?!?!

Here's my sig just in case you don't know Nick:

I have a FANTASTIC idea. How about if everyone who does not like signatures (even if he used to have one) blocks them. And then how about if everyone offended by avatars blocks those.

They are both repetitive and as for boring and obnoxious ----kind of in the eye of the beholder but hey you don't have to look at them right guys.

Well said, Geronimo. I don't see why people complain about avatars and signatures when there's an ignore feature there for them. That's what it's there for, use it!

I was thinking about chaning my sig on some BBS to this,

ONE NATION UNDER GOD
(If you are offended by this, next time don't read)

but I changed my mind, still a possability, though :)
