There are many message board scripts available, each one having more or less features. Out of all those options, which ones do you think are important? It can go from the private messenger to the clickable BBCode and smilies, passing by the who\'s online and the stats page, or anything else.

While XMB has several features, some could be added or removed, depending of how you use them. This goes to any other board script out there, like the Ikonboard I used to run.

I\'m not really planning anything with that, but I\'m a bit curious about what you like to see on a message board. :) Please take a couple of minutes and reply! :D

I have been told that the essence of being Splash Woman is not in attaining perfection, but in the attempt.

If so, then Splash Woman in general does not qualify as, well, human.

Well...

I don\'t use the subscriptions, favorites, and Buddy List launcher tabs. Other than those, there\'s nothing much else to change on the board. ^_^

Sounds like you missed my point, Breakman. I want to know which features you actually like and don\'t use from the board. If you use the private messenger a lot, name it! If you like being able to click to add BBCode, then speak up! :)

I use the private messenger alot..because it\'s way faster than email, stupid email.

I don\'t really use the uploading feature, so I don\'t use up Docs space..

I really like the mood thing. It\'s better than XP\'s (don\'t tell him ^_~), but my only quirk is that I can\'t tell how many characters it can fit..same with signatures. I just have to guess.

And ah, I personally will like it if and when we can change our titles on our own. :)

Like Miss Hollow, I\'m happy with the board\'s PM. Since I use it pretty often for different reasons, the board is safe from an overload of \"Kujacker SPAM.\" :P However, I don\'t see the purpose of having the Contact feature. When I try to use it, it just says that it is the same as the Buddy List and just gives the option to Launch Buddy List (another feature I don\'t really use).

I also love using the smilies, though I don\'t quite understand why two of them look exactly the same (this is in reference to the \"devil\" and the \"muha\" smilies).

Yes, I completely understand that, dear. People like Lemon try to have the longest mood... But umm, can't you restrict the amount of characters it can have?

What kind of scripts are available, Doc?
As far as the Board, it\'s fine the way it is. I use certain things at certain times then i take a break to take a leak and return to post some more useful info;D

I use:
PM
upload some pics
Emoticons (damnit packard we got to find one where the smiley\'s sitting on the royal shitter with a gold crown on his head.)
MLA documented format in my posts (pinkslip game and MR ABC, oopse I\'ll keep Mr ABC to myself, he\'s too vulger.)

I like the smilies... Though we need MORE SMILIES! I also like clickable BBS, uploading, Avatars, mood, titles, and PMs. Also, I love being able to describe threads... I just wish Avatar space was a little bigger.

*Checks all the features*

Search: Ok, though I rarely use it.
FAQ: Umm... I only see the ranks for users, not other usergroups (moderators, admins, etc.), yeah I ususally look to that one, the smilies and the BBCode.
Stats: What? No top 5 users with the highest post count? ;)
Today\'s Posts: I don\'t use it since I already click on the open metools.
Who\'s online: Ok.
Member List: Ok. Nice to have a search feature too in case there\'s a lot of members.
Logout: Ok.
Your Control Panel / Options:
My Home: Ok.
Edit Profile: Some more options like disable showing avatars, signatures, HP/MP/EXP bars, etc. would be nice too.
Subscriptions: Erm... What the hell is that for?
Favorites: I don\'t use it.
Private Messenger: Ok.
Buddy List: Handy if you have people you PM on a regular basis.
Upload Your Avatar: Shouldn\'t it be in Edit Profile?
New topic/reply Page: Umm... No button for spoiler tags? No link to the full list of smilies?
Poll: Ok.
Avatars: Why exact sizes instead of maximum sizes?
Mood: Ok.

Ok, I think I mentioned most of the features.

Just to reply to some things that you said, PUNK:

Subscriptions: Erm... What the hell is that for?

When you subscribe to a topic, you get an e-mail notice as soon as someone posts in that topic... Completely useless, if you ask me :P

Upload Your Avatar: Shouldn\'t it be in Edit Profile?

I coded that feature myself, so I prefered to start from scratch instead of going through the messy coding of this board ;)
