try to adjust the size of embedded youtube videos. right now they're real small.

I think we could break the gym and clothes out into it's own forum. Lifestyle forum or something like that. Don't like how it's buried with general discussion.

I like it the way it is don't add a bunch of shyt, keep it simple is my suggestion.

I Guess Different Forum Skins/Colors Would Be Good But We Dont Have To Overload This Place With Too Much

One Thing I Will Suggest Is That Ya'll Get Ya Recriting On For The Remaining People On SOHH

The People That Are Left Dont Wanna Leave Cuz They See This Board As A Joke, An Immature Place Where Idiots Dwell And The Inmates Run The Asylum

To Get Those Last Few Heads You Gotta Promote A Fun Safe Forum Environment, Especially To Those Ladies Room Posters

Let Them Know I's Safe lol

Yea we need a ladies forum but don't let all the retards come in and scare the girls away. Treat it like the knowledge forum restrict access to anyone that goes in to troll. It's nice to get advice and views from the ladies.

Do we have a referral meter, that would be cool if you refer someone and people knew how many. Is that even possible? On your profile.

I dunno, just thinking out loud

thats true a female presence doesnt really exist. the coli at this present time doesnt really have an ability to branch out into that market ie the way lipstick alley has

actually tho females are probably the most active on the net, and spend the most time on it. i read in a link a few months ago that they are on facebook roughly 2x as much as men, um i think reincar posted that

and when i looked at lipstick alley they have it cracking hard; almost all the threads go multi page. i never seen a forum with that many multi page theads. basically, women like to talk about stuff. and they add a extra dimension to conversations that men cant. adding more women to the site would probably double the amount of activity and involvment since dudes will forever stay thirst and girls will forever try to get attention and gossip about things. a forum needs this.

what im saying is that coli has an ability to cater to men ages 20+ but not really to any women so any growth that it can create at this point must be geared towards expanding out into that realm. so just imagine if sohh had an ability to merge with lipstick alley. it would turn into a mega forum the likes of which hasnt been seen yet.

i co sign kolobx when he said that the forum needs numerous color layout options like the lebron 9's to increase a sense of options to a person and what they feel represents who they are. if they are going to be spending a lot of time here it has to have an ability to be a place that they personally want to look at for extended periods of time. the only way to achieve that effect is by allowing numerous color options to them to use at their own discretion. actually at sole collector forums, if you want, you can upload your own background image so you can have your own custom wallpaper (like twitter basically) to browse the forums with. this is an even more advanced step to accomplish that sense of customization to your personality.

only new thing i can add is to put it so that threads you respond to subscribe automatically to your user cp. this way people wont forget to respond to a thread they were part of. a lot of times people will post somewhere, go out nd do something but come back and the thread is on the 2nd page already so they have to actually dig through the forum manually to get back to that conversation. a lot of times people will just not want to do that and stop participating in that thread.

The Gym even with its higher activity than Fit Forum on sohh, i think should stay tagged in TLR

Knowledge i think deserves to be front page now that more posters are coming to it, but let it build up alil more before that

i think the consensus is that most people prefer the condensed look

I think a dope ad-on would be a Mod's IM line

Where if someting is going on within the boards and Mod's want to discuss if it should be deleted or stay.

I believe that would be a dope function.

Good suggestions.

I added instructions on how to disable embedded images

Automatic subbing is now the default for new users, existing users will have to change their settings in their user cp


How does the mod IM line differ from a PM? I'm not sure if there's a modification for this but I can check

I like how on other boards (mainly kanyetothe) there is a button next to the thread title to go straight to the unread post of that particular thread. Or if you're reading a thread and when you scroll to the bottom a button pops up that says "5 new replies" and you click on it to refresh the thread. Or a notification system which shows what posts of yours has been quoted. Idk if this possible with vbullentin tho...

i downloaded the mod to make it show who's quoted you.

i also downloaded a mod that should do the "5 new replies" thing your talking about.

i can look into a button for the last unread post.


and to address the other suggestions

we already have referrals, i've never really looked into it but i think it asks you when you register if someone referred you.

we're definitely going to add more colors and skins. we're going to hold off of that until we finish installing the extra features we think everyone will enjoy. when you install certain features you have to make changes to your templates(skins) so if we had 10 skins, it would be 10 times the work

and yes we need more females in here desperately, hopefully they realize the locker room is for both genders (no trannys tho)
