1 – teamplasma|
Im surprised that you guys dont have Victoryroad a Facebook page.
|
I think teamplasma might be correct if the Facebook page is capable of promoting the forums and thus, more members can join. Maybe this idea needs more thoughts than an immediate decision.

1 – AuraKshatriyaFloatzel.Net's homepage is handled by a feed from the news here. Small projects get updated too. Changing that button isn't as easy as it seems. (Let's just say that I didn't know then what I do know now.)
1 – AuraKshatriyaCan we have a sub-board for general "Ask This User" threads? I'm pretty sure there's a lot of popular non-mod users who'd like to have a thread for general questions.
4 – teamplasma, TurtwigX, Blood Swampert, ThePokeMan640x640 seems to be quite... small for computer screenshots in albums, now that we are requested to use the albums for all uploaded photos and images.
Can we have the resolution limitations increased to 1024x1024 or at least 800x800? You don't have to change the file size restriction.
1 – Velociraptor78Hm, I think I can raise it now. I think I found a mod that allows you to do a "click to view full" thing with it.

Great! When will it be implemented? (Also, I'm thinking of pictures stored in albums. Are you thinking of the same thing?)
Should there be an ability to retract likes? |
1 – AuraKshatriyaI know this is also hard. Probably impossible... But maybe a nice project would be making this site have a mobi. Because I travel a lot, and it would really be convenient if you had a simple Mobile version. Because right now there is a lot of work involved in things. Post in advanced for is the hardest thing to do right now, along with chat. So I just thought that would be a good project

For the chat part, use VRIM Lite mode. That's basically the mobile version of VRIM.

3 – teamplasma, Twiggy, AuraKshatriyaFor those who requested, I finally got around to raising the album limits to 1024x1024.
2 – Twiggy, AuraKshatriyaUmm... I know I don't have a whole lot of free time with VRGL, but that will calm down soon. So I was wondering if I could, somehow, make a style for the site, or whatever you call it. I don't care what it looks like if you want a say on what it does look like.

1 – AuraKshatriya|
I did ask for a Legend of Zelda theme awhile ago, so maybe you could work towards that once VRGL badge requests calm down a bit.
|
|
If they allow me to do one, I would have to think about it really hard. Because I dont have a favorite pokemon, and my favorites that I do have are all unpopular so people wouldn't like it. I could aim for legend of Zelda, but I will need to practice for that. Because I am so used to only using pokemon.
But I am still waiting for a reply and who to contact for dimensions and a list of things I need to make and what I need to do with them. |
About not allowing image hot-linking...
Doesn't it defeat the purpose of image embeds?
I don't think a blanket ban on image hot-linking is a good idea. While VR's own album functionality, and attachments may work well enough for most purposes, there do exist file size and amount limits on VR.
If anything, I think, maybe, we should try to loosen up on this.
7 – teamplasma, The Spirit of Time, Velociraptor78, PokeRemixStudio, Shiny, GalliumGrant, blueumbreon|
I don't want to ban existing images. I just want folks to try doing it with new ones. If you have an image over 10 megs, odds are you are providing a bitmap or an image most of us wouldn't want to use.

Sorry Cat, but could you raise the number of maximum Social Groups per member to seven?
Lots of members probably have good ideas for groups, yet not enough room for more of them. Considering that possibility, maybe the extra space could just end up being put to good use. For example:
- A Ninja Baseball Batman Fan Club
- A Jet Set Radio Fan Club
- A Super Nintendo Fan Club
- A Final Fantasy Fan Club (LugiaDialga, Reuniclus, and Twiggy are Final Fantasy Fans. Why is there no club!?)
- A Legend Of Korra Fan Club
- TV Has Gone Downhill Fan Club
- People Who Try To Get The Best Water Temperature In The Shower But End Up Burning Or Freezing Themselves Every Morning Fan Club
- The I Hate Monday Fan Club
See! So much we haven't even touched!

I'm honestly curious, now. How the heck is seven too few for a single user to create? I don't want this to turn into group and invite abuse; Facebook already exists for that.
3 – TurtwigX, Twiggy, zsaberslashThe social groups, to me, are just things to show a user's particular interests or his/her personality. It's like getting to know somebody without even talking to them - you just have to look at what social groups they are a part of to understand who they are.
3 – teamplasma, GalliumGrant, ShinyIs there/shouldn't there be a "General Forum Questions" thread? So instead of making a thread about how to get a full list of smileys, they post here. It would (hopefully) reduce future threads that are only for one question. I don't know... I just thought that it was a good idea.
1 – Blood SwampertI prefer folks posting individual threads on the support board. Once an issue is dealt with, it gets moved to the support archive to avoid cluttering up current issues. One problem with a single thread is I tend to forget things that are not important, so I won't even remember a suggestion unless a lot of people talk about it, as the suggestion may be a few pages back in this thread. Still-relevant questions can be kept relevant by leaving their threads on the support board without locking them. Then, a quick glance at the thread titles allows me to see everything that's still active.
1 – teamplasma|
I think a mod should make a thread in the art section specifically made for showing off sprites, graphics and drawings and sticky it. I think it would encourage people to get involved in art. xD
|
1 – Shiny|
We do have a Artwork Showcase thread (which hasn't been touched) and a Spriting Showcase thread if that's what you were looking for.

I was woundering if you guys had like a video site or something where we could watch anime's and stuff without having to search online for places that might not have good videos and/or dont even work? maybe aslso have it linked to VR so we can still be loged in for other stuff.

5 – Pingouin7, Shiny, TurtwigX, GalliumGrant, AuraKshatriyaI'm thinking, on the Topic Title board, you know how I said it needs a space under the 15th link to make it look more aesthetically appealing? I think taking a series of characters like this,
"___________________________________________"
This,
"-------------------------------------------------"
Or this,
"**************************************"
And putting it under the 15th link could fix this problem. You could make this string of text the same colour as the background of the Topic Title box, which should be a white-grey-beige. If you could centre it and program it so that you can't click and drag over the text to get that blue highlight, that would also be a nice touch.
I would make it better (And allow more content) in signatures if the [center] was now [c] and such. I dont know if you have control of this, but here is a list of suggestions you could do.
[center] = [c]
[left] = [l]
[right] = [r]
[youtube] = [yt]
[YOUTUBEWIDE] = [YTW]
And attachments go with a simple A.
[quote] = q
I left the List ones out because it would make it more confusing.

Some of those aren't even allowed in signatures to begin with, notably the YouTube ones. The other ones are short enough that you don't get enough lines to really worry about abuse.
|
1 – GalliumGrant
1 – Cat333Pokémon|
To prevent people from having signatures that are larger than 80% of their posts. The size of signatures could've been crazy and Cat didn't want to deal with the "Show all" button in signatures. So he got rid of it, but said there would be a limit to how much can go into your signature.

http://victoryroad.net/group.php?do=...bers&groupid=4 <- This group needs some editing.. I think I brought this up before, not sure.
2 – teamplasma, Cat333PokémonHmm...
Wow, Dark Illusionist's getting pretty old as I keep using it, and I can't seem to find something that looks modern, clean, and suitable for night viewing (something light-on-dark).
Think someone could try a hand on a new forum skin?
(No, don't say Windows High Contrast. That's system-wide.)

2 – Music, GalliumGrant|
I personally am not too fond of "modern" layouts. They often have too many graphics, and are not worth the effort of browser testing, including mobile browsers. Even if I did make one, I wouldn't make it the default. I prefer simplicity and functionality over fashion.

1 – teamplasmaWe have both mentioned this before: What about an achievement system. It is like getting a badge, but not like getting a pokemon rank. It is for preforming certain tasks. It is just a fun fun thing to aim for.
But I know nothing about coding and stuff, so I couldn't judge what could/couldn't be done.
I am not sure exactly how it would work, but is it possible to carry a scavenger hunt in a forums?

3 – Cat333Pokémon, GalliumGrant, TurtwigX|
I guess Cat wasn't willing to say this for the 5th time, but we used to have one of those, but it didn't work for technicality reasons.
He said it was broken. I'm not sure though, as I only remember the Experience and the Awards being broken. The forum would give you an achievement for making 10 posts, 100 posts, uploading a photo, etc. That was an automated achievement system. What you might have in mind is a system of manually-distributed achievements, like with Smogon. Like you would probably have an achievement for managing the Victory Road RP. |
2 – GalliumGrant, TwiggyThis isn't really an question this more I saw a mistake.
"Pokemon Black & White
Black and White; Reshiram and Kyurem; good and evil; one new region: Unova"
I think that was meant to say Zekrom.
3 – PokeRemixStudio, Twiggy, GalliumGrant
6 – PokeRemixStudio, teamplasma, Twiggy, Sheep, LugiaDialga, AquablastI don't expect you (Cat) to get to this right away, that is if you decide to go with it, but....
Think we could have a complete overhaul of the arcade? About half of the games are way to buggy to be enjoyable. In fact, let me just list the faults in the games I found faults with:
Air Hockey - the opponent's country isn't shown properly and the hockey disc doesn't always act properly
Archery 2000 - the speed of the target isn't always the same (which seems to be intentional), causing each game to be based more on luck than skill.
Asteroid's Revenge - the ships can sometimes shoot right at you the moment you lose a life, causing the game to be more luck based than skill.
Big Money - only issue I have with it is new lines are luck based and can screw you over at times.
Breakit - Some paddle powers have odd hit-boxes and the right wall has improper physics.
Classic Frogger - the game ends after two levels.
Donkey Kong - Hit-boxes seem off.
Donkey Kong Jr. - sometimes the game just freezes without warning.
Galaga - very choppy enemy motions.
Jump Mario - movement is very hit-and-miss and ledges are very buggy.
Pac-Man Avoider - buggy music and very little feedback as to what's happening.
Pinball Deluxe - the ball seems to have predetermined paths. I've even managed to get the ball stuck in a spot where it would get points constantly but would never fall, even with tilts.
Space Invaders - the invaders never reset where they were when you wipe out an entire line.
Spider Solitaire - scoring doesn't make sense.
Tetris - when a block is touching another block, there's almost no time between the time it touches a block and the time when it sticks.
Typing Contest - the game will sometimes end randomly. Also, this is a very bad way to measure someone's typing ability.
Way of the Stick - yuck.
1 – GalliumGrantI personally never even wanted the arcade in the first place. Freeze insisted on adding it way back when installing vBulletin. I'll gladly remove heavily glitched games, though, once I can figure out how to do so. I'm not sure how to add games.
I will add on a comment that the air hockey game is full of luck and confirm the Archery 2000 game too.
1 – teamplasmaI am not familiar with the activity feed. You might be talking about the following.
In the User Cp is lists the subscribed threads and such. You may click the blue and white arrow to minimize that. Here:
As of now, there is a limit of 100 posts per page.
