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.).

Subject: Site Feature wish-list.

You should save this topic untill after H3 is release plus a few weeks. The web team is going to have their hands full for the next few months with the H3 rollout and most likely not have time to update the site with new features.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

How about some more formatting tools for the forums? Specifically, of course, I'm talking about the multi-tiered [list] feature and automatic bullets using [*], as well as the ability to indent a paragraph. I don't think that any one person can take credit for this idea -- everybody wants these things back, I think, although we certainly realize that it's neither a big deal nor a high priority.

Another feature, recently mentioned in a "group search" thread and and something I had mentioned a couple of months back, is the ability to search groups by topic keyword (designated, of course, by the group's administration). Here is the link to the original thread from February of this year.

I know its been discussed before. Implementing multiple text colors for groups would be very appreciated.

I'll put it down, but I seriously doubt that's going to happen.

Not my idea, and you all know that, but the search individual forums. Just thought I would through that down. Oh and this maybe? Even though I have switched over, many members still have yet to do so.

Subject: Future Site Feature wish-list. (free witty banter with every post)

-Pm all members button for group admins
-“Promote below” privilege. Have a group member privilege allowing moderators(or any non standard member) to promote people to ranks below there level but not above.
-Have an activity rating for groups(based on news/forum posts) to help separate the good groups from the bad.

Having a rollover for threads would be pointless. it doesn't take that much time to just open the link and view the thread.

Only Becausae I'm Awesome

Forum Tutorials --- WATCH THEM AND LEARN

My feature request list, ordered from highest priority to least.

1. Opera Support
2. More usefull/working search feature.
3. There is no 4.

That is all.

All of which I don't expect to happen until the next major overhaul of Bungie.net. =[

anyone who's played more than you has no life

anyone who's played less than you is a noob

a bungie.net friends list. you would be able to add posters on the site up to a maximum of say, 200, and any posts / uses of their name would be highlighted to you [either by colour or emboldening].

there would be a "friend's home page" where you accept / decline FR, and you can view recent posts made by your friend's in one place. One top of this, you would be able to send friend's group invites directly without PM with a link.

there would be an online / offline now feature for all bungie.net members, and obviously a list of online / offline bungie.net friends.

I'll turn the screws of vengeance and bury you with honesty
I'll make all your dreams come to life, then slay them as quickly as they came

To add on to the "Message all Users" idea, I'd like to see the member list be categorized by the member's first letter in their name, and I'd also like to be able to see all the members of a certain security level. It'd make things less time consuming, especially when trying to find a member in a group with over 500 members.

I have a couple ideas (bound to be controversial), so I'll elaborate on them and post them in a bit.

Yes, more controversy please, or this thread will die. Again.

Oh h'em Gee! You looked at my sig!
Well since your here check out This Group
Fluttershy
Crossopolis, where it all happened. It has a castle made out of legos!Crossopolis indCrossopoilisTra

1.Dunno if this is already mentioned but a search for member in the group option would be nice for promoting/blacklisting/kicking.
2.Love the PM all members option. I'd defenatly use that a TON!
3.Viewing the forums while not being a member. So Possible members can look into the group to see who posts there, what kind of posts are there, and the basic topics of the group. You cannot post though, and it would be optional for groups that are "secret".
4. Promoting below. This would have saved one of my groups from destruction.
5. Activity ratings for members. It would show their posts per day ratio next to there groups and there overall posts per day next to there name in their profile.

Ok I'm done.

I have a rendezvous with death. At some disputed barricade.
