Please read this section (at least) before replying.
We all know that Achronos and the web team are busy working on getting the site ready for Halo 3, but I thought, why not make a list of features we'd like to see implemented after that's done?
Outbox: Everyone wants it, everyone wonders why we don't have it in the first place.
Link, though I'm pretty sure it's not the first thread on it.
Thread - to - PM - quote: Probably something that's more of a convenience than a necessity, but, one that's likely to be easy to implement.
Link, see above.
Flag thread as off topic/spam/whatever: Brings a problem thread to the immediate attention of Ninjas. IMPLEMENT THIS NOW.
Link to Foman's extremely complex thread.
Search Within Groups: exactly that. Likely to be highly useful, and used a lot by larger groups.
Link, another one of Foman's.
More post formatting: little things like [list], bullets [*] and [indent].
No links as they're just general things.
Text colours for groups: neither useful nor likely, but what the hell.
Improved Search Feature: including 'Search Individual Forum', 'Sort by Post Date' and various other improvements.
Draft Feature: Saves a draft copy of your post every few minutes, just in case you accidentally click a link or something.
Link, I posted in that one! WHEEE!
'PM All Members' button for Group Admins: Exactly that. Would save huge amounts of time for large, or even small, groups. Muno elaborates here with some nifty sorting options.
“Promote below” group privilege: Have a group member privilege allowing moderators (or any non standard member) to promote people to ranks below their level but not above.
Posted here by Xbox Halo Guy (and yes, I just copied and pasted)
Group Activity Rating: Rates groups based on forum/news activity, rather than just number of members.
Another from Xbox Halo Guy (same post)
Bungie.net Friends List: Definitely helpful for those of us who are more socially inclined.
Link, yes, I'm aware it's the latest of many posts, but, whatever. Teh Lazy.
Link directly to post: While it's relatively easy to manually alter reply addresses into direct-to-post links, a simple button would be much appreciated.
Posted by me, unless someone can manipulate the search feature to say otherwise.
Public-View Group Forums: Can't believe I left this out this long. Basically, each group would have two forums, private-view, viewable only by group members, and public-view, which non-members can see, but not post in. Good for allowing potential members to see what the group is like without having to join.
I am too lazy to search for it, someone else look it up and PM me >.<
Per-Group Member Activity Ratings: Basically an 'average daily posts' stat for users, listed beside the groups they are in. This would be ONLY for groups, definitely NOT the main forum.
Link to Crossfire64's post in this thread. (He also reminded me of the Public-View group thread thing. Thanks!)
Read this before complaining.
If a feature has been previously discussed, I'd appreciate links.
Also, credit given where credit due (As far as I know. If you posted it, post the link to it. Otherwise, don't claim ideas as yours.).
