253	Proposed Update Package for the site	Yeah, I have thought about getting people here vs waiting for the site to be fully "ready". Like crow said, take your time. I didn't want to put articles before then, but also you need content to have up. Can you make the forum VRML so I can navigate like Johnny Mnemonic/Minority Report/fsn (Jurassic Park Unix)? With datagloves and stereo display please. Put an animation of the Rad Racer car (or A-Team van) driving me to the next thread when I click on it. And when I post a reply, make Photog Smurg carry it into the thread, lol	shakin steak	Dec 20, 2012
252	Proposed Update Package for the site	First of all, I did indeed notice the difficulty FireFox has with displaying the signatures properly. That is a fix hopefully won't require too much labor. If I recall, think the signatures don't show up right on smart phones either. I'll have to double check that. As far as promotion, I put it on hold when I realized how difficult it was getting the developer to answer my requests regarding the transfer process. I didn't want to go around yelling from the internet rooftops, only to have those who respond come visit a site that is suddenly no longer there or functioning correctly because of some transfer issue. That being said, I have plans for word of mouth AND internet advertising in order to promote the site. All of these listed ideas are great. I am currently putting together the second package of update info, complete with mock images as with the first. I will include as many of these as possible in it. I presented the first package to a gentleman with whom I had previously worked with on another project, and he was very willing to help. However, he is not familiar with the Yii framework (on which this site is built), so he had to decline. So, it appears I will be shopping these updates around to other places and trying to do as much research on their practices as I can prior to giving them the job.	Vaporman87	Dec 20, 2012
251	Proposed Update Package for the site	Signatures don't seem to work right in Firefox. They show up in the middle of original post. Like <a href="http://i.imgur.com/xVqyD.png">this</a>. Is fine in Internet Explorer and Chrome. How does the recent threads thing work? Past few days it doesn't seem to change at all. Threads aren't getting bumped with new posts. Or is this due to issues with the host. Do you have any way or plan to promote this site? Trying to think outside the box... <ul><li>It would be nice if the website can track what each user has already read, and show on the thread list which threads have posts that you have not seen yet.</li> <li>Also, a link to post history on each user's profile page. Useful for trying to find past thread conversations. Each post in history should link to the thread/page where it appears.</li> Those are kind of in the box. I've seen them on other forums and found very useful... <li>What if the forums can change style sheets? (colors, background image, font) Either at the reader's choice, or randomly load, or have a distinct theme for each category of thread? Readability should be maintained and respected, but to emulate different environments or display technologies.</li> <li>I mentioned this back when the preview first went up, if articles can have have different backgrounds that the author can choose. Besides notebook paper, the background could be dot matrix printer (with paper coming up), a typewriter, old computer screen (like DOS), etc. With appropriate font for these things.</li> <li>Similarly, if there are choices for profile background. Besides the floppy disk, maybe there could be other choices like a hoosier cabinet, a chalk board, VHS tape, a circuit board, '57 Ford, a film projector, old-fashioned fridge or oven. More chances for people to display their personality in their profile.</li> <li>Also for the profile: lists. Favorite movies, bands, shows, books, etc. Customizable (not everybody wants to put their favorite bands but maybe somebody wants to have fav inventors or fav British 60s motorcycles.) Is that too MySpace?</li> Not very revolutionary I'm afraid, but it's ideas I got for now	shakin steak	Dec 20, 2012
249	If you could create your own cereal...	Just bring back this. <img src="http://i.imgur.com/mtAuQ.jpg"</a> Exactly as it was.	shakin steak	Dec 20, 2012
248	Proposed Update Package for the site	Well, once the server/hosting issue is finally put to bed, we can move on with adding stuff we want. This has been the issue with this developer. They do excellent work (for which I would recommend them without hesitation), but they are very poor at communication (for which I would not recommend them at all). This being the case, I am inclined to consider the possibility of moving the site update work to another developer with a reputation for quick and responsive communication IN ADDITION TO quality work. I'm not sure what all of this will amount to as far as time, but you can rest assured that once this whole server/hosting affair is finally a non-issue, I will immediately begin shopping around the update (and all future updates). We already have some additional requests like the animated .gifs and such to begin yet another update list, but I encourage you guys to think outside the box. What could we add to REALLY make this place DIFFERENT and COOL. Don't consider what the cost might be. If something were too expensive to implement, then that does not mean that some facet of that idea wouldn't be affordable. Use those noggins. :)	Vaporman87	Dec 20, 2012
247	Proposed Update Package for the site	Animated GIFs don't seem to work for avatars. Look at my <img src="http://i.imgur.com/mCrU0.gif"> steak! It's not shaking! This is a travesty! :) Also, I know there were some troubles earlier today. Aside from that, is there any ETA we can think about for this update pack?	shakin steak	Dec 19, 2012
246	1995	@blueluigi Oh yeah! I had forgotten about that. We had flooding here that year as well. It happened on Mother's Day that year. My family owned a furniture store at the time, and it ruined everything in the warehouses. We cleaned up what we could and took it all to the local Civic Center and sold the stuff below wholesale.

245	1995	We had a flood the year before. This flood destroyed an elementary school I really loved going to, so because of this I had to go to another elementary school, which I didn't really care about.	Mr Magic	Dec 19, 2012
243	1995	The biggest thing I remember about 1995 is when a huge flood happened around my area. Thankfully, I lived up on a hill at the time, so the flood had no effect on me, however, some of my mom's friends and her kids came over because their house was being flooded. I don't remember much other than the water being turned off and the power coming on and off. Also during the flood, I remember my family left the house, and we went on a canoe ride all across the neighborhood. The entire area was completely flooded at that point, and it took us probably 10-15 minutes to the next unflooded area. After that, I went on a plane. That's really all I can remember about that whole experience.	blueluigi	Dec 19, 2012
