Wondering if we could have a Pokedoptables link at the top with the Arcade and Chat things.

There is one. It's under Community. I do think you're right that it needs to be a top-level one.

Edit: Done.

Sweet! Thanks man!

Thanks, I was looking everywhere for the link.

Is there a way to view the chat room on say a PS3 system or any gaming system? I tryed once but i couldt see the text or the side options. Also how do you evolve pets that need stones or trades?

Do you think it would be possible to add a mute function to the chat so that way I don't have to deal with annoying people?

There already is one. It's in the top-right corner.

He means an IRC-like ignore feature.

Oh, I see. I'm not going to say much on the status of VRIM for now, because I'm unsure what's happening with it (fixing it, making a new one, installing a different system).

I say there should be a sub-forum in the Fan Fiction and Literature section that's about Pokemon fan fics where other forms of literature can go in the general part in Fan Fiction and Literature.

Oh yes, and one more thing. While I don't think this will go through, I think there should be backup gym leaders in case the normal leader is busy or is unable to accept challenges. I could see why this wouldn't be approved (due to a lack of active people), but it should be taken into consideration.

The Art board's current set up is fine as is.
No need to add another sub-forum just for Pokemon Fanfics. It's not like the Pokemon ones will become corrupt if they touch non-Pokemon fics.

I was just hoping for a bit of organization in the Fan Fic and Literature section. It seems a little unorganized with people like me constantly updating fics and others who are trying to post other forms of literature all jumbled up into one section.

Hm, how would you suggest the structure of the new board should be?


Example:

Example Board
- Example Sub-Board 1
- - Example Sub-Sub-Board
- Example Sub-Board 2

Actually yes, something like that. If it's too much hassle for a small change like that, then don't bother with it.

I was asking you to draw something up like the example if you don't mind.

Oh ok. Something like this:

Artwork, Music, Fan-Fiction

-Fan Fiction and Literature (Literature would go here)

-Fan Fictions (Self explanatory)

-Everything else

But like I said, if it's too much hassle for a small change, then don't bother with this change.

Hm, that does sound like a reasonable split. Anyone have any comments on it?

In some images, when you click them, they act as a link.
I would like to do this for my signature. How do you do this?

Sort of like my Fallensword Button i got below?

Yes, that is correct.

Can the text visibility issues in the Dark Illusionist forum style be fixed? When clicking on shortcut bar menus like Quick Links, or the Previous Thread/Next Thread links at the bottom of the thread, or the current time, or Theme by... at the very end of the page... well, dark red on another dark colour doesn't exactly work well. They blend!

Yeah, I know what you mean. I've been thinking about how to fix those.

The only way I think that could be fixed would be to make the text a lighter shade of red. Either that or make the background lighter, but I don't think that would make the theme look nice.

I actually went into paint and copy the background color and text color of the quick links and other blended text. I then adjusted the text color and put it on the background color to see what it would be like.

It's in the image below. I don't know if you like it or not, or if this would be possible, but this is just a suggestion to fix the text color problem.

A Celebrations board so you can post accomplishments and celebrate them.

Well, I've noticed that there's no forum/board/whatchacallit for Groups.
I mean, almost every forum have them, even if it's not divided in Pokemon and not, it'd be a great addition,as it allows people to unite themselves to talk about what they like, for example if there was a MLP fanclub, the fans here would have more place to discuss, there could be contests,etc. While a thread in Media won't do the same ...

We do have something like that here, but it's generally ignored and nobody as far as I know actively posts in a group. Which is a shame, really.

How about a few Christmas events, like a Drawing Competition or a drawing one, maybe a poetry/drabble one too?
Those are fun and everybody is doing them this time of the year

OoOoOo Or a snow tourney for this holiday consisting of 3 ice types in everyones team? D

I'm just wondering if there should be more levels of the Forum. Having just Moderators so the assistant mods get promoted to one then they get promoted to Global Moderator. Just a thought. I know it might take a bit of work but I think it would be a great idea.

EDIT: Or Assistant Staff.

Well, to be honest, they could just make asst. mods, mods and make it less confusing for new people

Role Playing shouldn't be a section by itself, it is loosing its pizaz and I don't think it should be up on it's own... But that's me.

maybe we can set up a scavenger hunt to find a special code that can be redeemed in the adoption center for a rare pokemon or something. i think it could a fun little game.

Ooh, thanks for reminding me! We did have one all setup two years ago, but for a few reasons, we were unable to run it.

I think people would be interested in a fun holiday game. Possibly a New Years or Mew Years? *wink wink*

A suggestion for a clan board? The only clan I have heard of from here is Team Lunacy (I'm the new Leader ^-^) but it's.. slow. Anyways, I'd like to see more competition and it might create more activity to our clan and many others'. I just hope there is a limit to how many clans are being built because... We don't want everyone having their own clan, right? Thanks :]

Perhaps we could have a Legend of Zelda theme to the forum. I'm tired of the default theme and I don't particularly like the other themes. It may seem strange to add a LoZ theme to a Pokemon forum, but it makes more sense than the MLP theme we have.

Personally I would like a Sonic the Hedgehog theme. I'm sure there's plenty of Sonic fans out there that conquer with me on this one.

EDIT: Also could we get rid of all the tournaments and start new ones. Most of the tournaments are started by old non-active members. It would be better if we started fresh.

I wonder whether it's possible to make it so that in addition to the current user rank for posts for users, users can also use any previous user rank titles and icons.

Hm, while not a bad idea (something I frankly am not sure how to do), I'm not sure if it would be worth it.

For those themes ideas add some COD (Call of duty) themes or something.

Possible Terraria server? I have Terraria and I know a few others have it so... just a thought.

We aren't setting up any more game servers for now.

I wonder whether the spoiler tag can be enabled for VMs?

Unfortunately, no. Enabling that requires enabling all custom tags, and two of those custom tags are a big dangerous to put on profiles: YouTube and DIV.

Make the RP's non post count and stuff... I just noticed that a couple hundred posts that i have are on a single thread >.>...

What about for our profile we can have a custom background for profiles, it would be cool.

How about if we did something like this if members dont follow the rules or this will happen:



This will make people think twice if they dont follow the rules.

Find an easier way for us to make our own custom skins?

For now, I suggest either the official vBulletin demo or downloading the pages and adjusting the CSS, then showing it to me.

Firebug is also handy

If we could have the top battlers make an Elite 4. Only for members who get all 8 badges.

Umm not to long ago did we talk about the E4 in there...

Well then. I was hoping the Arcade tournaments could be reset. Most of the people who hosted them are not active anymore. We need to win some tournaments!

Hey Cat have you added new games to the arcade? I was hoping to play some new games.

No, I haven't messed with the arcade, well, ever. Freeze always updated that, and it requires some free account with the publisher of the games.

Hmm... I do believe that some forums could use a more descriptive description. Some of the descriptions, such as the one for the Web Design forum, are pretty much letter soups.

Why can't you use CSS here? I recommend you add it, most other vbulletin forums I'm at you can use it.

If you're referring to profile CSS, it was disabled as soon as I setup the forum due to abuse, annoying fonts, and terrible color contrast.

Hey i got an idea. How about a thing to watch videos without having to go another site or by posting a vid in a thread?

That already exists. The [youtube] and [youtubewide] tags allow embedding YouTube videos directly within a post. Be sure to only put the video ID in the tag and not the full URL.

So thats how you use those tags, i didnt know how to use those for vids.

Can we use thread categorization in every thread in Computers and Technology? I find that sometimes it's probably easier if we had categorization enabled on these threads. I think properly categorizing everything in there by way of thread categorization could work out in the end, and as there's not many threads in there, might as well, huh?

I'm thinking of something like...

For example, in Web Design, I could give the resources thread a "General" category, and the thread about how vendor prefixes in CSS have become in a "CSS" category, and so on...

Also, I think every single forum in Computers and Technology inclusive needs a better description.

I'm thinking of something like...

Instead of "For all things computers", we could have:
"Whether it's about desktops, laptops, netbooks, software, smartphones, routers, cars, or anything in between, everything related to computers and technology is welcome!" to make the "technology" part true.

Instead of "Any form of programming", we could have:
"Basic, C++, C#, Java, Python, .NET, what have you, newcomers and experts alike are welcome to discuss about programming here!"

Instead of "HTML, XML, CSS, PHP, ASP (.NET), MySQL, SVG, MathML, SOAP, SMIL, OWL, XHTML, JavaScript, RDF, CDF, DOM, and more", we could have:
"Everything powering the web and its sites: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other neat assorted goodies related to them. Web developers can come in here for tips and discussions on web design."

Any other suggestions for the descriptions?

I could update the descriptions, but I don't think the board yet needs new sub-boards. We used to have a lot more categories in that section, but there hasn't been much activity.

Not quite like that. Something like Serious in these discussion forums - something that is appended to the front of thread titles.

Ah. How many do you want?

I was wounder if the chat room thing is working yet. I heard that it was down or something.

ok cool. I was planning to start somthing soon in the chat...Can we make our own rooms in the chat?

Pretty sure you could and you would probably know that if you have explored a bit.

I 'll give it a shot

Are we ever going to get custom user titles?

Just a thought for a big thing:

I think it would be fabulous if we were told or something whenever someone liked our posts. Like under the notifications it will appear (like were you are told that you have a VM) and then the tab saying "Likes and Quotes" is in bold and when you click it, it was say the post and give a link. I think it would be GREAT! But it seems a little impossible.

Ps. I put quotes in there too because that would also be nice to have.

Hm, I could probably code something like that into a project I was considering.

A new member title "Member of the Month" also known as "MoM" This would be awarded to a new member every first day of the month. It would be given by our very own Cat, to a member who he thinks has been a excellent contribution for the month to the community with a lot of activity. This title would have its own color. Something bright to notice someone's awesomeness.

Ooh, that could be a fun idea, but I fear it could cause a bit of competition...but then again, that's not always a bad idea.

Could it be possible to have trophies or ribbons under your username for winning a tournament, like badges? It would be a nice perk in addition to the bragging rights involved with winning one.

Possibly. Might just take a little bit of messing around with the VRGL thingy.
