1. Country Flags- Doesnt matter?

2. How many days registered- Loose

3. Download a thread to text file- Never used

4. m-Quiz (which no one seems to use)- I liked, but never knew when a new one was going to be there. So I would eventually forget about it.

5. Shout! (top of the screen)- Ok

6. Quotes (bottom of screen)- Ok

7. User warnings (STM's only)- Afraid to use

8. Time online- Neat to look at once in awhile

9. Collapse threads- I use this alot. Only thing i dont like is it collapses every thread from the last time online even if you didnt look at that forum or thread. Wish it would only collapse threads you already read.

10. Weather (will rebuild if useful)- Dont need, I have it on my Homepage

11. Member Online or Offline- I like this feature!

1. Country Flags .... Nice, but not necessary. I do like to see them flying though.
2. How many days registered .... Don't need, join date is under your name.
3. Download a thread to text file .... I have used this once. I downloaded the 911 thread and sent it to someone that is part of my unwashed friends.
4. m-Quiz (which no one seems to use) .... Are there new ones? I think it got lost in the DW02 excitement.
5. Shout! (top of the screen) .... Like this feature, but most so when it relates to other than dirtbike stuff ... i.e. KAV
6. Quotes (bottom of screen) .... Quit reading them, the same one almost always appeared there for some reason.
7. User warnings (STM's only) .... Maybe my skin is thick. I don't see the need. We can always report the post/user can't we?
8. Time online .... Fun, in a sadistic sort of way.
9. Collapse threads .... Never use
10. Weather (will rebuild if useful) .... No offence, but I would rather watch Kristina Abernathy than use this feature.
11. Member Online or Offline .... Doesn't matter to me, unless you mean the list on the bottom of the Forum homepage. I like that list, and PM off of it.

:worship: Okie, any other ideas you might have, toss them out.

Keep what works best overall ... We'll get used to it. BTW, I like the changes to the front forum page.

One other tweek, in pumpkin, the buttons are hard to read beneath the PM inbox and sent item box. They are white on a light grey background. Can they be black?

I can't believe more people don't use the thread squisher (#9) this is a great feature.
I like the flags too, but I could see how it's unnecessary.
The least important (In my opinion) are the shouts, quotes, and weather :silly:

1 and 11 for me. I've never collapsed a thread, and if I wanna save something, I add it to my 'favorites' folder.


The quizzes were fun, but they need to be changed weekly or monthly.

1. Country Flags ---> Nice feature, but not neccesary if people state where they are from in their profile

2. How many days registered ---> Very simple to calculate the days without it there

3. Download a thread to text file ---> Ive never used it, but would be helpful if I needed to

4. m-Quiz (which no one seems to use) ---> Enjoyed it, but not utilized much by the users so it makes it unneccesary to me

5. Shout! (top of the screen) ---> Nice feature to quickly relay a message or announcement to online members

6. Quotes (bottom of screen) ---> Funny, but could be used in a signature line to remove the hack

7. User warnings (STM's only) ---> I have never used it and probably wont, but itsa nice feature to have to keep people from going too far

8. Time online ---> I look at it often, but its not a necessary feature. (You can kinda tell by posting or buddy list whos on a lot)

9. Collapse threads ---> I have used it but I still have to look again to see what was said anyway

10. Weather (will rebuild if useful) ---> There are so many online resources for weather, I dont think its a tool we need here

11. Member Online or Offline ---> Definitely a must-have feature to me

My vote is for 3,5,7, and 11

Folks, in "stealth" mode, only the Mods can see if you are online or not.
Realise that many folks are here when you may think they are not.
This may come as a surprise to those of you who really love that feature, but seems to me it has no real value.
I'm not certain on this, but I think that if you have a person listed on your "Buddy List" you can check your CP to see if they are online or not even if they are in "stealth" mode.

i like #11.
#6 is interesting but it seems like i have read the same three quotes a hundred times.
#5 (shout) is kinda cool but i can live without it.
the rest don't even matter to me.

while you're at it, you can do away with the now useless flame forum.

I really like the random photo section you added to the pages. Great Idea!
