Couple Ideas

[Relic]

1. A possibility that the login could be located at the bottom of the home page (or as a plug-in in a sidebar, etc.), for convenience? Wasn't sure if I should post this idea here or in the Plug-in request board.

2. I stole this idea from InvisionFree lol. They have an option in the admin area to enable or disable "title clean-up." For instance, they have an option to clean up Caps lock, so if someone posted a title with CLICK HERE, it would show up as Click Here. They also have an option to clean up multiple special characters, so if someone posted a title with Click here!!!!! it would show up as Click here! I thought this was a really great idea for making the site look more professional, if there are any obnoxious posters on it.

3. More options for Social Networks... I'm thinking mainly deviantArt, since that's such a popular site for artists and writers alike.

1) You can move the login buttons anywhere you like. The login itself is now on our secure server and no longer in the forum itself. So that can't be moved.

2) This would be a great plugin. You might want to suggest it in the plugins board.

3) We discussed this at great length. deviantARt was actually on my original list, being a graphic designer, but it didn't make the cut. You have the ability as the admin of your forum to add custom fields. You could create a custom field for any social networking sites that don't exist in our list.

Alright, thank you so much! I'll go suggest that plugin right now, actually =]

Can I ask why devART didn't make the cut?
Just curious.

At the time it was felt that DA didn't appeal to the ProBoards community a a whole. If you look at the other choices they are much larger and span many more of our overall members. DA is a small fraction of the community (myself included). We just made sure there was a way for admins to add other options if they wanted.

There were lots and lots of other suggested choices as well that didn't make it, some things we'd never even heard of. DA was at the top of the list of stuff we liked though. I tried to get it in, but in the final revision it didn't make it. :/

And that's the story of DA. The End.
