Some people use it like they use salt on their food, wayyyyyy too much.

Forget about desperate thread titles, gimmie something i can change about Boards. I'd nuke that mutta fúkkin smiley!

Ah that feels better.

...and a cleansing breath out.

Hopefully the Gods Mods will not banish me to 4chan for opening Pandora's Box but;
What would you change about Boards if given the power?

I'd change the coloring to red. I don't like blue.

beco2010

I would ban the word dude

Gannicus

Personally I'd delete the "thank button". Admittedly I have used it but I hate seeing a list of "thanks" after a post that's actually longer than the post itself.

jumpguy

Get rid of the swear filter/make it optional.

Yeah bad eye sight.

Actually another thing I'd like would be a thumbs down option for posts you don't agree with.

put more space between the lines of thread titles. I dont know how dyslexics cope

I think it would be handy for users to turn off "thanks" for themselves like you can with avatars. That way they could browse without having to see clusters of thanks everywhere.

Jeebus no!!!

The thumbs up button is bad enough.

Deus Ex Machina

I'd settle with the Household charge thread being closed.

frozenfrozen

I like being able to tell which posts are worth reading by seeing if they have enough thanks

TeddyTedson

I'd allow pics in AH. It's annoying not having them.

Hate this prick too:rolleyes:

I'd also make a new smiley like this :-/

I thanked you just to annoy you :P

cocoshovel

Didnt boards have one of these threads stickied in AH a few months back? iirc one of the most wanted things was removal of swear filters. I would change that.

Better selection of smilies

I want a forum where you can say whatever you want about anything, no matter how offensive, racist or whatever.

There is a get it off you chest forum that's hidden. I disagree with it in principle so I never joined but I so miss the cries of retail thread...

I view boards in the pale pink/wine colour. Easier on the eyes than the blue.

How can you disagree with R&R! one of the beat forums on boards IMO

Because stupid posts can't be challenged.
People have a carte blanche to say whatever they want.

Cool, how do you get that?

Just don't go into those threads or fly over the post.

Love R&R!

(pretty sure you can't rant about politics, religion or football in there though..)

Given unlimited Boards power? I'd ban an Admin. Maybe DeVore. Just because.

And also make all thread views inverted as default.

GarIT

I want a forum too where everyone is a mod, it would be fun.

User CP > Edit Options > Forum Skin (scroll to near end of page).

starbelgrade

I used to like reading through the most thanked posts of the day as a catch-up on the more interesting & funny posts of the day.

However, that page has become ruined by a huge host of "YLYL" posts that are simply re-posts of pictures from other websites that are usually not even vaguely amusing.

I know there are lots of people who enjoy them*, so instead of removing them, I'd have a filter that leaves the page free for the most thanked posts from other forums.

* = Kind of like Westlife. There's no accounting for taste, but I'm all for 'live & let live.'

Counter rant in a new thread, where they cant argue with you. Simple!

I would make this the Official Anthem of boards:

I only started doing only a week ago and it was interesting seeing all the colours. I didn't realise there was a swear filter too. I check the User CP for that as well.
