The Imperfect Community

OK, like I mentioned before, we're reverting back to a more "vanilla" version of the boards, as upkeep with security updates, etc. has become too cumbersome with the heavy customizations. We'll slowly be adding back features as I determine if they will interfere with automated upgrades.

In that regard, are there certain features/elements here that you simply can't live without? i.e., spellcheck, post snippets, profile photos, etc.?

I personally never use the spell checker (shows in my posts!)...i just dont want to take the time (uh..lazy?)

I like the photos though! please please keep those!

Wish we had even more emoticons to choose from sometimes.

Also, i frequent a different site that does NOT make it easy to format (font, italics, etc...) and it sucks, so dont take that away either!

Ok, duly noted...

The formatting stuff, bold, italics, etc. are part of the basic features of the forum software, so don't worry about that!

I like the siggy pics and other stuff......can that stay? I also can't live without my Sox avatar so that's a keeper Smile

Yeah, the avatars and signature pics are also standard items, we just had them turned off way back when.

I guess this survey was premature -- probably better to ask this *after* the new version is up, then tell me what is being missed, duh......... I need more coffee.

Ok, so what type of stuff would you like to be able to get rid of? That might help us narrow it down a bit. List some stuff, and we'll tell you if we'd miss it.
