Yep, user-chooser avatars/titles are quite common on some boards. An interesting variation is where they are only awarded to posters who have made a special contribution as a sign of recognition by the Mods/Admins.
Another situation is where they only become available after a certain munber of posts (cue frenzy lol ) ------------------ Regards Mouse - who sometimes finds G,LoE quite funny (Occasional crooner and all round friendly Scottish rodent) [This message has been edited by Mouse (edited 10-06-2001).] |

I like the current situation, but the over 2000s are really poor!!
Can't we have some cooler ones? ------------------

I would presume that Z has discussed with the Mods which features he will be including / excluding from the upgrade. For myself, I would like to see 1) "Sticky posts" - restricted to important info and announcements and only used by the forum mods. 2) PMs - hmmmmm not sure. I know they can be useful, but they can also generate a heap of spam and load up the server. Perhaps restrict it to the mods for a trial period? 3) Chat - why not give it a try and see if it works. 4) Pop up ads - UUUUUUURGH!!! Hate them, but if they have to be introduced to help Z keep this going I will happily put up with them. Personally, I think it might be an idea to introduce the changes gradually rather than go down the route of a "big bang". Just had a further thought - this might be a discussion that merits a separate thread on GD or the Polls forum - anyone agree? ------------------ Regards Mouse (Occasional crooner and all round friendly Scottish rodent) [This message has been edited by Mouse (edited 10-06-2001).] |

PS Is there going to come out a new hack of the UBB messenger anytime soon? The only UBB I know with the messenger function (which they installed 3 months ago) doesn't work properly... [This message has been edited by Grojlach (edited 10-06-2001).] |

I'd suffer pop-up ads if it earned Z money, something I saw on one forum was that people could "rank" threads by giving them stars, from 1-5, then people could see the average score that a thread had gotten, that might help people spot the more interesting threads without having to leaf through spam threads which mods and others could rank as 1.
