-Viewcount, I am just curious how many views there are, what's the most active folder.
-Option to create polls.
-Smiley, font feature. (that you could just click on)
Inclosing if possible to stay the same, the forum is unique, it has a certain retro look.(Y)

- Rep. or similar system
- more visible tools in the post box (there's pretty some vBulletin versions that gives alot of utilities allowed such as 3 pages of items to choose)
- more dynamism in user CP


and mainly : spoiler tag ( that is used as name suggests to put spoilers so the info posted inside is only visible when someone clicks in it[for the person itself only])

- Show who is logged in the forum.

We had this. It didn't work.

- Posibility to trace better IP´s even if a person is hidding.

We also had this. IPs used to be completely open. It led to some fun times with some users using fake usernames...as some of the older members here will remember.

Move the minimum search characters up again! Not being able to use 3-letter words stinks.

I'm not sure we'd like to make everyone's ip available, there's the possibility of abuse happening there. We'll have a think about that one. Otherwise good suggestions so far.

- All troubles solved should be marked on title's thread. I think there would be less often the same questions.

- showing who is logged.

- About a rep system: Why not? But it may not be very objective if members could vote for other member's reputation. I would prefer a mini profile with the date of inscription, numbers of messages and a rank from "Rookie" to "F1 champion", for example or something like that.

When we had post counts, there were members that abused it. In a way they spoiled it for everyone, so the function was removed.

In some countries IP adress is personal data and as such cannot be shared publicly.
So in those countries internet provider changes users IP adresses every 24 hours in
order to protect their privacy ensured by the local law.

Guess, this solves the mystery, Mortal ;-)

if you do go down the 'rep system' train of thought, maybe consider my idea from a few months ago

[www.grandprixgames.org]



if you dont wan't something like that, i would personally like the board to stay pretty much the same. it is unique now, and i really like the design and features we have.

First things first; Chet's Clock

I think that Spoiler system could be good

Make things bold, italic, underline for the new member that join or we can have option to choose if we want that or not in our control center

i dont think spoiler tags are really necessary. if you miss a race for whatever reason, you are really asking to find out the results if you visit a formula 1 forum.
