* A return of useful text formatting features such as [list] (indented, bulleted lists with multiple levels), [*] (creates a text bullet with no muss, no fuss), and [hr] (creates a horizontal rule to break a page up neatly).I made my own solution but it only looks like the old hr on Internet Explorer sadly on other browsers it just looks like a quote-less quote box which is quite narrow here is a side-by side comparison hosted by jmh's modwatch site link. The tutorial can be seen here, it may help. The New [hr] Tutorial

* In news post summaries, the character limit should be the actual DISPLAYED characters -- not the HTML characters for links and color changes.I totally agree with you. This is a problem that needs fixing because it is quite frankly very annoying when you can post more writing in the default font than you can in formatted text.

I was thinking maybe a calendar on the front page would be a good addition.Good idea! A calendar would be a great addition for plotting events and I would also like to see a group chat box because using gabbly really sucks! Plus a who is online feature which shows users that a members browsing any page in the group.

* A PM all members and a PM all <insert security role here>s feature, WITH OPT-OUT options for anyone who does not want a flooded inbox to be a condition of joining a group that they otherwise like.The message all members idea has been asked for many times but with this extra feature I think it would be a really great add on for professional organising, good idea.

I was thinking about this the other day. With all the talk I hear of no clan support for Halo 3 does this mean we shall see groups regain their original purpose? I for one hope so. It would be nice to see groups become a very integral part of the community again. With no clan support the only way to arrange matches or to hold virtual lans will be through the group pages.
If this is the case on Sept. 25th will we see a redesign of the groups along with other things hinted to us? What do you all think? Do you think we could get this and if so which features would you guys want to see?Posted by: SS_Zag1
That would be very cool to see a reborn use for the groups. Instead of having clans in-game, they could have them on Bungie.net. ;)Personally I would love groups to be used instead of clans. I personally would like group humpdays to start taking place in the near future. My group has done a few internal humpdays but I hope when Halo 3 comes out there will be a larger community with perhaps group leaderboards, that'd rock. Perhaps clans could only be established when a group reaches a certain size with at least a certain number of members with active gamertags. Then the group acts as a clan HQ. Of course it'll never happen but I'm just bowling the ball so perhaps somebody else hits a six.

A clan leaderboard on the front page and in groups showcasing the top however many clans in the game. That would be a cool thing, you could then click each of the clans names and if they have a group on b.net you could challenge them via a submenu and it would send a request to them for a challenge. Food for thought.Again what I was saying about humpdays. This could be a good idea this ties into my idea about groups being the only way for clans in halo 3.

* I'd like to see that idea from a few months ago implemented: users with high enough "trust ratings" (using the hidden trust rating system) can post and embed photos in group forums using the [img] tag. Picture posting has always happened here anyway through "URL" links and the embedding bug, so why not, in a group, allow the pictures to be displayed on your screen without having to click?I have suggested this many a time before we all want it, hopefully it will be only a matter of time. Also if you could use this feature for other BB codes such as [color], [hr] and aligning codes it would be good. PLUS what about special colour text being assigned to security roles, I want gold text lol.

* Perhaps limited file hosting? Bungie Pro FTW! I'm kind of neutral on this one though.Lol that would be pretty cool but it will probably never happen. Perhaps custom avatars in groups for people giving the security privilege for a custom avatar, it might work and I would like to see it although it is more of a novelty and isn't needed.

* An Iris group theme (had to throw it in)Well CI need it I guess... I think it would be better if custom themes were allowed but people would abuse it so again maybe groups they could have only groups with at least 50 members and which have existed for at least 3 months can have custom themes. If people abuse a custom theme their group is deleted (there could be a report button). If people have established groups which they will with over 50 members and 3 months hard work they will not want to get their groups deleted so the problem resolves itself!
