Different Signatures for each forum. Or a choice of at least two signatures and I get to choose which applies to what forum.

1) Consider implementing a system similar to Slashdot where an adjective is picked to describe a post, but also keep the current 5-step rating list. Basically, rating a post takes two steps. First, select from the current list (Awful - Excellent). Add a second drop-down list with adjectives like Funny, Interesting, Insightful, Flaimbait, Redundant, etc.

Make the most used adjective visible with the post's rating, and if you click it, have it show the adjective and rate history. There is no need to show the name of the person who did the rating to a normal person as abuses should be readily apparent. This will stop people who complain about rate-downs where a person never posted why they disagree. A positive or negative identifier could be applied to each adjective to stop people from rating something awful while describing it with a positive adjective.

2) For crying out loud, make my chosen title ", Defender of Justice." "Sarlos, Defender of Justice" makes way more sense than "Sarlos Defender of Justice."

3) Allow users to make comments on their bookmarks. It would be nice for me to be able to remind myself why I bookmarked a certain post or thread.

4) [:trollfood:] [:badtroll:] [:yhbt:]

5) Make me a Sage.

I am so going to reclaim that title now!

I would like an Ignore Redundacy option that would automatically skip over redundant replies from posters who weren't paying attention.

Fan-freakin-tastic Kelvy. That's the kiind of forward thinking I like to see from you.

How about an ignore poster feature?

I hate to /hijack a thread, but I really would like to bring up the point that I would like to see the Admins compile a new list of most requested forum enhancements.

Please take a moment and compose a list of 1-5 improvements you would like to, in an ideal world, see in the forums here. Maybe Kao could start a thread in all the forums, asking these same "forum improvement" questions.

We definitely, want to know what the Ffxi posters feel about Karma ratedowns, gil sellers, server politics, and the always funloving"LOLBIFRONS thread", even though you asked them about "forum improvements".

Let us also not forget, the 'red-headed stepchild' of Alla's, Planetside. I'm sure the Admins are looking forward to the "forum improvement" replies to whoever visits there by accidently clicking on that forum sometime in the next 3 months or so.

It wasquite dead until a few weeks ago, now that forum is on life support.

1) Yes, please make a Ignore poster option for premium members only. That would be enough to get me to renew my premium again.

2) 120 X 120 Avatars.

Fix the damn "View All Posts" thing, all mine does is time out or give me a blank page.

OH yeah,

Is it possible to "log out" a user if they have changed their password and were logged into another machine. I recently discovered that my ex g/f still had access to my account even though I had changed my password.

It doesn't really work for people with more than a couple thousand posts, it's a database problem.. the query just times out.
