Bottom post of the previous page:

Can I have your opinion on the last mod I've installed please? It's done a huge amount of things to the forum, as you may have seen.

It has added several different rank colours - Admin (me), Staff (Jesper and Warren), Moderator (strad), Founder Members (PTfan54 and P34) and of course normal users ;) These colours are displayed everywhere - on the Index, in the topics, profiles and in the posts. I originally had the colours available when you view each forum, but it just looks a complete mess, so I've gone back to the default colours for that. One feature of the mod is that wherever you see a username, you can click it and it will take you to the profile.

I'd like to give it a test run before I remove it. I'd like you to report any problems you have (e.g. seeing things you're not supposed to see, problems with posting, problems with viewing topics/forums etc. etc.). And generally, I'd like some feedback.

tbh, I don't really like this colouring of the usernames. ok if all of the staff/founding members/moderators have one colour, and all the rest another colour, but not each group a different colour...

A more fun idea would be giving colours to number of posts you have...

Taking the board offline briefly for some maintenance work. Should be online again within a few minutes.

I would'nt mind seeing another one, that would go in your profile, perhaps like Background/Ethnicity. I think it'd be good to have that, because even though you might live, in say, America at the time, you could've been born & brought up in Holland, & just having that extra bit of information is good.

Thoughts on this? :smiley:

I'm sure that's just local knowledge :thumbsup:

Before I joined upto this site, I didnt know that you guys over there, called a womens you know what, a teabag. Then I found out what teabagging was, but lets not go there (Google it if you really want to).

Still, it'd be optional Christopher.

I think a "You're Largest Dump", in pounds, would be a fun option. :smiley:
What if?
