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.

How about an invisible lurker option, but it'll still list you as online. =)

I'm just keen to know how many users are on at any one moment.

Yep. I prefer that one too.

There is a 'phone number for that but I think it's for certain types of people, i.e. those who are mentally incapable of understanding why they get the urge to sexually molest others.

That's not me ... I know exactly why I want to sexually molest others.

I seem to remember you mentioning a nurse who could do that for you.

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

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

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]
