Website issues and improvements.

[Darthvoorhees]

Here's something odd, for a couple of minutes when I tried to get on this site, I kept getting an error, instead of bringing me to the site I was given "Website suggestions". Was the site temporarily down or was this an error with my ISP?

Yeah, that seems likely. I think it has done that on other sites too.

Another improvement that would be nice:

 

Change the theme of the forum. It's not that I hate black...well let me explain...

 

At a first

https://www.youtube.com/watch?start=106&v=oavMtUWDBTM, can you tell which one of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxQKF2gkMgo are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u7XysaEVBs and which https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxrWz9XVvls are just text this sentence? Text color be changed when hyperlinking.

 

The theme is fine, it's just that it would be nice to be able to embed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLTZctTG6cE into words. It looks a lot less clunky than posting the entire link.

You just embedded a link into a word. What's the problem?

That you couldn't tell when you were looking at it. On a lot of forums, the linked text will be blue. On this forum, all text is white, so you can't tell what's linked at what's not.

Ah yes, I see your point. I'll discuss it with the admins and see what they can do about it. If any more people feel this is a major problem, I think we should do something about it.

Hyperlinks are orange for me

Indeed, but when you click on them, note that the link becomes white in the text. It can potentially cause confusion.

[alphabetagamma]

Most of what's posted here I don't want to see twice

[Axeldeath]

^ Most links you post here don't want to be clicked once.

[alphabetagamma]

What are you trying to say?

I found something very suscpicious :S

 

*edit* There was an image here but it was removed... For "safety" reasons.

Yes, yes, for some weird reason when I made my account the first time I made my user name my e-mail (if you send me spam, consequences will never be the same!). I made a new account to fix it. Kind of random.

[Axeldeath]

Oh goody, time to repay you for your MLP.

You think that was a lot of posting? YOU WANT TO SEE SOME REAL SPAM?!

[Axeldeath]

Now I'm prepared

[alphabetagamma]

Are you ready to see nothing but ponies?

This thread is about issues with the forums and suggestions for further improvements. Please do not fill it up with pointless unrelated spam posts, thanks.

Only for aesthetic purposes, really....
