as I stated in my very first post a few minutes ago, Ive been around here for a long, long time as a reader. Ive watched the transition of the forums go through alot of different changes and I thought it was time to do an "informative", "to the point" topic on ideas we all have, may have about what they'd like to see the forum turn into.

If enough of us have good ideas, we'll have a good chance of getting seen and heard ;)

I for one would like to see a cleaner look and feel as a whole. Maybe not so boxy in appearance.

Another idea i thought of was a friend list, kinda like a buddy list on most places so you can see your friends online, or people that you like to talk to on the forums.

They could also stand to ad a little more user info to the posts, like most forums do. Maybe an online now icon, and messenger contact buttons and so on.

Just a few things I had thought about awhile ago while reading the forum here at TP.

Anybody else?
(and please keep it related, if you wanna tell me to go away or you wanna take it off topic, please pm me and try not to post it here)

oh and one more thing. when looking at the topics I would like to see who the last person was that posted in a topic.

this helps you see if you were the last person to post so you don't have to click into each one to check.

I would like a larger font size. Even with my glasses on, it's hard to read. Especially on my lap top.

Debsdogs, there is a little page with a T on it on the upper right side, under the page number. Click on those to increase font size.

yeah a standard, somewhat larger font would be nice.

another one I thought of would be actual user profile pages. like when you click on a users name, you can see info about them that they have allowed you to see.

and maybe bring back the users online on the main page or something.

I'm not seeing the "T". Is it within the forum page, or my computer?

at the top of the forum, directly under "New Topic", "Post Reply" there are 2 "T's" on 3 different sized page icons. If you click on each one it makes the font size a little bigger and a little bigger.

The page icons are white and the letter "T" on each, is in black

LOL ~ I found it!!!

WOW!! What a difference. I can't believe I've been squinting all this time. What a goober I am ~ LOL

lol, no worries. Im pretty sure they will change that soon. Especially if we throw ideas at them, like the ones I'm hoping this thread will conjure up.

I totaly agree with showing who the last person who posted was, thats a fab idea.

having profiles is a good idea too.

But I must say im totaly happy with TP. Its simple and having to much turns some people away.

i agree back. simple is always the best way to go for me too. another thing I noticed, again pulling from ideas on other forums, is notifying you if you have a new pm with a small popup window. of course, you could have the option to "not notify with a popup" if you wanted too.

that would be a great addition, imo.

I agree with monkey. Keeping it simple is easier to get around the forum.

I do really miss when we could see the 'who's online' list front page.

My only other thing I would love to see one day is being able to go straight to the last page of a post rather than being directed straight to page 1 then have to click from there each time.

People are like slinky's, not really good for much. But its still fun to push them down the stairs.

I have a few forums of my own that do that, and you're right, it's an awesome added little feature that makes surfing the forums alot faster.

Please do not be offended, but this topic was pruned per request to the admin, to remove all irrelevant posts that did not pertain to improvements and/or suggestions to Terrificpets and the Terrificpets forums.

Let's try and keep it on subject from now on.

I wish that we could have emoticons! You know, those really cool smileys that chat pages and other blogs have!! How cool would that be!!! :) And I also wish there was a way to bold and change fonts(not size but color and text).

I think a few of my suggestions were mentioned before by myself and a few others, but I'd love a search feature, profiles, and a way to "click" on a member's name to see topics they've replied to (their reponses included). The font size modifications are nice--it could be even nicer to use your own font with colors and everything! O.K. I'm going overboard...thanks for reading!
