QOTW Bug....
Grabbing the ID of a reply to a QOTW (easily to find by clicking on 'I Like This's Pop Up), and use that ID as a reply's ID, you can make nested replys.

See this one for an example.

Also, 'reply' should go on the end, for consistency's sake.

Stats
Can we have a stats thing with graphs and such? Mainly because I'd like to visualise how much the posts drop during drivetime. From this, we can learn how long it takes the average B3tan to commute home from work, have a shower, have their tea and then sit down at their computer.

I'm sure it's been suggested before,
but I tried a search of 'ignore function' on the qotw and didn't see it.

Please can you fix it so that if we have someone on ignore, we don't see their posts on the popular pages? When I want to ignore someone, I want to ignore them totally. It's quite hard to provoke me into ignoring someone, so in order for me to have done it they have to be a total wankspleen that I don't want to see at all.

Delete thread deletion
I'm sure this has been suggested plenty, but why do all sub-threads attached to a deleted thread get deleted too?
Can't you just replace the deleted text or image with the words "THREAD DELETED BY HAMTOUCHER" and keep all the sub-threads intact? Please?

I'm sure I've suggested this before.
But how about when someone posts a picture on /board they are required to "Tag" their image for the search option.
There's a few times I've wanted to search for a picture and had to try to remember words from the original post to find it.
If we tagged our images with simple words like "cat", "cdc" etc it would help with searching.

ok .... thanks for addressing the mp3 player issue
but it's actually made the problem worse, now I get a series of six or seven consecutive "Object required" errors for Line 52 when I navigate away from /links


edit: it's 12 alert boxes - using IE7, so sue me, I never liked Firefox

VS debugger says it's this line:

function __flash__removeCallback(instance, name) {
  instance[name] = null; <-- THIS ONE 
}

QuickWatch says
instance == null
name == "setVolume"

A more user-friendly search interface
It gives examples of what you can search for, but doesn't tell you what can be done and how to do it.

I know, for example, that you can search for a specific word in posts by one particular person. Fucked if I know how to do it, though, until somebody else posts a link to a similar search they've done.

Tags for pictures submitted
to try and avoid unintended repetition of other people's work, perhaps the option to submit tags with one's own images, i.e. 'Star Trek Cabbage Monster' so that you can be aware of other similar images even if the original artist doesn't use descriptive text in the title or the body of the message.

A veto button for the Image Challenge.
If enough people vote for it to be pulled, then a replacement 'kittens are great' compo should be put there instead.

Like this weeks for example (smilies) I havent even bothered checking the compo for a few days, because there is nothing new to see.

'I veto this compo' button.

and yes, I know that I should contribute more to it, but it would make no difference to the 6 pages that are already there.

Please dont kill me.

how about images can't be wider than what would be on the front page, so you would have a button to expand all images to the size they were when were uploaded.

Badges are a fun part of b3ta profiles... how about a feature that allows a user to create a badge that they can then award to other users (through the system, not informally like it is now) and then profiles can have an official badge display case. "I survived the attack of the 50ft woman" etc.

but when editing a post reply, once the edit has been saved, you're returned into the parent forum, rather than the post itself.

Glass Cock Rating
Hey I thought this might be a good idea for the links page.

Let's say there is an extra option for each link posted "This is Glass Clock" or suchlike. Every click notches it up the scale of glass cockness.

Then in your profile settings you could have something like "Don't show me links with a glass cock rating of n or above", 'b' being your chosen level.

Just an idea, so people will see everything by default unless you're a misserable fucktard, then you can rate as glass cock and have it removed from view rather than piss and moan about it. ;)
