Hey guys,

Just to let you know, we are planning a quick refresh of the forums this week. The page layouts and navigation are remaining the same but there'll be some minor cosmetic tweaks.

We'll also add the ability to add a small avatar under your nickname. But don't worry, for those of you that hate such fripperies, you'll be able to disable the display of avatars in your MyFreeola account.

With a bit of luck we'll be making these changes tomorrow.

Atleast we'll have the option of turning off the porn. Heh. Will avatars need approval like the profile pictures?

Can we give you more suggestions to improve the forum?

- Strike out text. (For corrections and jokes)

- Who's online list. (List of people logged in and lurking)

- Social Bookmarking forum. (Where I can post all my funny pics, news items etc)

- A profile page where we can list interests and hobbies.

- A list of the last 10 threads we last posted in, on our profile page.

- Notable election or some kind of member of the month status.

- A way to recommend threads/posts for GAD.

- Spoiler tags so we can chat about things without spoiling it for others.

- A list of new threads added in the last 24 hours.

- Freeola Credit for each post/thread we make and GADs we win. 1 Freeola Credit for each post, earn 10,000 and you'll get a persoinalised signed photo of Vexxxed and other prizes.

- A new lot of member statuses. JAT, Newbie, Regular, PirateNinja, Part of the Furniture.

- The "new!" this to disappear when I view it and only appear on threads that have new content.

- Favourite thread list. This is a list of all my favourite threads so I can monitor them and any posts made in them without having to jump from forum to forum.

- Polls, I love them, they can be great fun if used properly. Give Mods the option to delete any stupid ones.

- Regulars have purple names instead of dark blue. JATs have red and Newbies have orange.

- A Search page, this is so I don't have to keep using google. I'm sure others have wanted to do a search on the forum, one time or another.

- The WLTs split up again so we dont feel like we've been cheating merging all the old WLTs together.

- More EGADs, I enjoy them even though I havent taken part in the last 3 =/ sowwy.

- A revision of all the censored words. There are some that don't need to be censored anymore, like pocket monkey.

- More games like Bingo (or an alternative to bingo), I can think up simple games that need a tiny bit of programming but would be big hits for Freeola users to win GAD, not just forum posters.

- The option to select how many threads/posts we can see on our screens.

- GAD posts/threads should be in gold or atleast higlighted in some way like they use to be. It made them feel extra special.

[more to be added soon]

I like most of your ideas but thats one i dont like. I'd hate for you guys to see how much time i actually spend here.

I like the old invisible text that can only be seen when dragged over.

I like the new names like Pirateninja, depending on number of posts made.
