The old G9 wishlist thread was getting a bit out-of-hand, with 186 posts, and many off-topic tangents. So, I've created this new thread. Please post your valuable and insightful suggestions that I will ignore with great prejudice.

So does that mean that you will see some new changes soon, and I can expect my inbox to be flooded with hate mail? That is a distinct possibility.

A suggestion for this thread: a summary of everything (serious) that was suggested in the last thread? Otherwise a lot is just going to be repeated.

Edit: I just noticed the old unstickied thread. I thought it had disappeared completely, so sorry for making the first useless post!

Connect "new" posts with username instead of browser. Shouldn't be too much work. I don't know exactly how this forum does it now, (though I assume it is time based, seeing how the only cookies I could find related to the DN were time stamps, forum options and username/password.) but implementing this shouldn't cost much more than a single new column in the database.

When I'm at home, it works fine, but when I go to school and check the board there, then posts all the way since last time I checked are marked as new, and then when I get home, the ones I saw at school are still marked as new at home.

I've tried convincing you to store exactly what posts have been viewed and not so that even if you don't view all posts, they'll still be marked as "new" the next time you come, but that was apparently not interesting, so now I'm downgrading my wish to just allowing a centralized way of storing forum access.

Any fool can use a computer. Many do. 
Apparently, it's possible to edit posts even after a user has been banned (so he can't add new posts but it's possible to edit old posts); I think this should be changed so a user can't edit his posts after being banned. See the second post by ashsashs in this thread for example (and various others as well).

After careful thought I came up with something else I had forgotten, a ranking system, not something big or important just a couple more ranks. We have peasant for the masses, noble for the moderators, King for Tal and Jester for Josh but if we had a rank for those who had contributed a file of any decency and another for those who had released a substantial number of good development files and had knowledge of scriptwriting it would give an incentive to produce good work and it would recognise those who had contributed something to the dink network, maybe one for someone who had been an active member for a long time as well.

Small bug that may already be known: username is not always rendered correctly when username ends with quotation marks (there may be other special characters that it handles incorrectly, but I can't very well go around creating random topics to test that).

I have put "..." into the username box for this post. On a recent post I tried this, and it was interpreted as "...&qu

Let's see what happens.

Typo: the system returns an &qu instead of the full ", lol.

EDIT: I mean " ; which automatically got converted to ", heh.

The current design is fine, but maybe make it darker (black?). Or simply go back to something like 8.5.

By the way, what generation are we on now?

Real lurkers don't appear on the lurkers list. 
So, what do you people think that would suit Generation 10, even though Redink1 is gone?

G10 isn't really anything worth discussing right now (if ever). redink1 said in January, "I still have some plans for G9 Phase 4 that I'll probably implement in the next few months." Basically, G9 has still not yet been finished. I can't tell you when it will be, though.

I would like the frame to be 1 pixel width, like it appear in the list of lurkers, at the right.

And it could be good to remove that white frame in between, or maybe not, I dont know.

How about linking together somehow D-Mod sequels, trilogies and such? Maybe a section for them in the files list.
Eg, A Knight's Tale, Stone of Balance, Cast Awakening (*cough*), Cloud Castle etc.

I'd like to see a counter for each file how many times they've been downloaded. It would be quite neat I guess.

I agree with that actually, a counter would be interesting.

Of course then we could have dlspammers repeatedly downloading a D-mod to get its count up, especially the authors if downloads affected the rating

"How about a small star/icon under the avatar for those authors who have released a file that has won Download of the Year, or one of the contests? It's not a particularly useful thing to implement... but I think it would be better than a reputation system.

As I make it, those included would be Redink (x3), Simonk (x2), Paul Pliska, Simeon, Metatarasal and... myself.

Or perhaps something related to those who have released an Epic rated 9 or over? I don't know - Just spewing ideas out. Feel free to kick them into touch.
"

Quoted from Sabretrout. The second part with the epic rated above 9 is just so awesome; we got to do something with this. Great idea!

By the way, who is in charge of making those changes?

I know this thread's kind of old, but I have a suggestion.

We should all have somekind of a note line in our profile. You could write something e.g: Your password there, in case you fear you forget it then when you go to your profile, then you could see the note, but anyone else can't.

The password's only a suggestion. You could write anything down there.

Hey Skull, wouldn't you have to actually know and type in your password to login and see the notepad thing anyway if you wanted to see your password in this notepad?
jk, but not a bad Idea. Lots of websites implement that kind of thing, mostly forums.

Staff can view how many posts different members have made. It's extremely important information and is therefore not available to the great unwashed.

That means you.

Yeah, fix the screenshot problem!

But if we are going to bring the DOTM back, as Christiaan says, we should put the "awards" stuff back to the D-Mods site. I remember when you went to download the D-Mod, you could see what awards it had. For example, CC 2 had the award of October 2003 DOTM.

And if you understood at all what I meant , yeah, bring it back.

Can you please make a function that means that we can choose not to bump a thread when we post in it?
Also, some way to prevent 4 year old threads from being bumped would be nice.
