Forum Suggestion

well i don't seem to have a suggestion there is nothing rong with the way it's laid out now....
 
the only suggestion i have, is that every user should be able to customize color and layout according to his/her own taste


like, have a option box for a black theme, blue theme, or something along that matter


and ofcourse, pics in sigs, with some restrictions of course

how ever, the more I think about it, I would think a simpler setup of boards would do better.... see this:

General Computing-
*Help!!!!! Its Broken!!!!
*General Computer Talk
*Tutorials (locked.... a mod can move approved stuff into it so its not abused with stupid crap)

The Lounge-
*Social lounge
*Classifieds
*Gallery
*Review Board

Technical-
*Programming
*Servers And Administration
*Advertising And Review Board

CF Comments & Suggestions
*General Comments and Feedback
*Staff area
*Spam Archive

Why is everyone obsessed with changing the forum? We should be more worried about getting more active members. The forum is fine, why do we need to redo the rules?
"if you build it [they] will come"

Embedding videos is a bit risky, a spammer would love to post the videos they try and link to ;)
that is true. and you know what? What does this code do:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0">

I'll give you a hint. It redirects the page, in this case to rick roll. By allowing embedded videos, we would allow HTML, which would allow that code. any spammer can throw in a malware or phishing site, and go to town with it. Now, I know that there are add ons that will work for you tube, or for Google video, but they are very specific, and the ones I've seen would only work for IE or firefox, which was very limiting. I think clicking a link is good as well because then we can comment on the video if we choose as well.
 
Guys, forums.facepunchstudios.com is a vB forum. Just look at their posts, ignore the content. The ratings are very handy, here is an example:

The layout is nice and whenever you make a post you are greeted with:

I lol at everything facepuch studios has..


but seriously they have a nice layout. its clean, and the ratings thing looks top notch.
 
They're using an old version of vBulletin that's been modified to death. Much like Something Awful.
 
The ratings system really is top notch... it's like rep but with different categories.

Everyone sees how many funnies, disagrees... etc everyone else has.

Let me give you an example, this is mikeofz, he's banned me personally about 5 times. Next to people's names is an icon, you click on it and you see:
