A better forum? Maybe?

I have to be honest, this forum has pretty much nothing. No private messages, no "keep track of thread", no "you wrote in this thread" marking, no anything. Do I have to mention that the search engine is a horrible atrocity? Probably not.

This can probably be kept a short suggestion by simply saying: Use another forum software. Or at the very least do something to improve the search engine. Anything, really.

oh the joys of Drupal
But yeah, seriously, that would be a good idea. I mean... even the RotMG forums, which run on the same engine, have more advanced features than we currently do. It's absurd.

Also when writing something it be nice to be able to see what the last person postered or at least the last ten.

Also i want to be able to quote people.
For a good forum referance go to halo.xbox.com/forums !

wat

You can already see when a person posted, it's right above their avatar. You can see the post date and time and everything there, along with the post number. Quote ability would be good, though.

Stupid forum has pages, stupid forum won't let me see all the posts in a topic while previewing my post so I have to make a million and one edits.

We should also have a system

We should also have a system where you can type the post or number of page you want to go to. The forums have nothing.

only referring the search bar to google would be awesome. the tracking feature is also very useful, and toghether with it it should come a notification system (or it would be useless.)

EDIT: this forum needs a "go to the top" button. exspecially because of wall of text. and exspecially because 50 posts in one page is too much.

Ew...it's heavy on flash...

Oh, and by the way, I host a forum for my a guild. I'm an amateur forum host, and yet it holds more features...

So I support.

I like the freedom of this forum. But it lacks images, videos, and other parts that other forums do have.

Yep.

Yep yep yep. The search function makes me cry. Need PM system and some way to keep up to date with threads I've posted in, or even just threads I've started.

You don't know how much I

You don't know how much I want this. I've seen BB forums that have so much more advanced things then us, such as:
1. PMs
2. Rep
3. Ranks
4. Accounts + Boards/Walls for others to post on account
5. Thread updates and notifications

And more. If this was placed on this forum, I would be so excited...

Forums in prosilver looks better than it. We don't even can send PM, lolz. And html instead bbcode /o/. And i must logon every time. T_T And 4964304367 users have the same "avatar".
But bwah. OoO is too lazy to get better forums.

There's always Userstyles... Logging on with Steam is a pain in the butt, you can't really monitor anything, etc.

Another worry is that the forums are vulnerable. I bet I could break out of the paragraph and implement a cute picture of a kitten or a video of Maru if I wanted to but I'd rather not be forum banned and stuff.

Krakob, you can embed VIDEOS???

I thought they disabled many tags! How on Earth do you get them to work? I'm confusled... :s

Yes, a new forums would be nice.

@Autofire

Not gonna tell you. Not sure if it'd actually work as I'd probably risk getting banned if I tried (and succeeded) anyway. I believe I asked the GMs somewhere but didn't get a response.

Krakob, why'd you get banned? That doesn't sound like a bannable offense to me.

I didn't but if I did something like that, others might try to follow which could lead to really inappropriate content on the forums, something I'm sure the GMs would NOT appreciate.
