Alrighty then..
I'll be the first to actually suggest new features, if they can't be done, so be it..

Was wondering about the avatar situation, i've noticed on several boards that members can link to an external image host, so you wouldn't be footing the bill for bandwidth & i believe it'd make the members a little more enthusiastic about paticipation, as well as improving presentation of post in general..

The other thing was a reply for link feature, i've used them several times myself & they do increase the post count, plus it'd free up some of MJ's time..

As i said, if it can't be done, thats the way it is.. this is an older board & its possible that it'd be too much of a pain / costly to install such features, or you'd have added them already?
That coupled with the incentives to go gold, necessary to keep the board going.. just thought i'd put it out there :)

um Waldo the reply for link thing is the "hide" function that mj has been trying to get you to implement for months in some of the mod forum discussions.

The link is hidden until someone replies to the thread.

Kinda like how polls only show results once you've voted in them...

you really should come here more often :tongue:

ahh seems pretty pointless :(well the point was that it forces people to post in a thread before they can leech rather than trust them to reply after they leech.

Your website traffic stats; your call buddy... :rolleyes:

Yeah, I have most of the people posting when they download, looking for 100%. No more leecher banning, and I'll lift the bans on everyone who is on the list for that.
