hmmm are we getting a better server or not?

I'm really pissed off at writing the damned replies again & again and then 'waiting for reply.'

Hi Guys,

Any suggestions for plugins or features for Forum 3.0?

What I'm working on now:
1. Fluid width
2. Better spam protection
3. Smaller header
4. No bugs in code
5. Fixing avatar and attachments

Mods currently used:
1. Miserable users
2. Double-post prevention

Suggestions welcome. Oh, and Forum 3.0 will be VB 3.8.X-based, not 4.0.X-based, still not very sure about the stability and loads of 4.X.

Boss please change the font size to the earlier font, its really really small and we wanted a more bigger width and you are again decreasing it please please please increase it...

-save as draft option for threads. This is really helpful when making long posts, especially reviews, magazine previews and the like.
-A "hot threads" section up front, listing the five most active threads above the forum categories, as implemented in this site

 

[skeletor]

We also need tags.

And what about this Fastrack Wiki. It has been stinking from long time.

 

[skeletor]

Why have online users and Birthdays been disabled?

We need that back as soon as possible. You get to know who all are online, which moderator is online in an instant.

Oh hell, something is broken, and we are flooded with spams. Raaabo do something (or undo something)...

I'm fed up of reporting spams...

No way man, I really don't believe in reputation. Other suggestions are good, but NO REPUTATION system.
