Not sure if I missed it, but you should get those text boxes where you click it and then it expands to show what is in it.
That way people can condense there list and list some of there commons and uncommon neatly.

i agree with this as it would also serve a purpose in gd for some of the movie discussions and other topics.

That is what I meant, thanks. It would be useful that way I could list a bunch of uncommons and rares in a smaller space.

I agree with sblocks.

Also, being able to Edit the title of a thread would really help. (Unless I'm missing something here).

Our forum structure doesn't allow people to do that.

Pretty sure we can't do that either.

Well can't you make it so you can do it? Maybe switch forums? Get a bigger and better site. Something like that.

That's easier said than done. This site is very heavily-customized with the ref system and trade matcher and such. Any switch to a new type of forums is a major undertaking requiring a LOT of extra coding. Not to say that it can't be done, but it's definitely not a short-term project.

Oh seriously? You gonna say that to anyone who suggests that we change the site, and happens to use the words "bigger and better?"

If I were to say I wanted my house to be bigger and better, would you suggest I leave? Nah, you'd do the sane thing and suggest that I hire a contractor, or you'd say nothing at all because you don't care what I think...those being your options if you want to be taken seriously, of course.

If the coding job is too big a mouthful to chew on for the mods right now, or even ever, fine...that's why they call this thread "Suggestions" and not "Mandates From God."

Thank you, for supporting my point. I like this site, but this is a suggestion forum. That means if I say you guys should get some balloon animals, the admins, and mods should be like we will see what we can do. I think this site could have so many more members, like double the membership, if you upgraded. I love the site but I must say it does look boring with no avatars, or anything else of color.(excluding advertisements.)

nope, not quite. you have the right to post a suggestion here and the mods and admins have the right to tell you its a stupid idea. (note, i like your idea )

considering the intelligence of some of our members this is probably a bad thing.

the day this site gets avatars is the day i leave and never return.

im a big fan of the look of this site, we dont need shiny things to attract people, i like the straight to the point look. ads are actually fine though as someone has to pay for the site.

I don't think I'm the only one that would be right there with you. I like the nice professional look without all of that childish crap cluttering things up.

I definitely agree with both of you there. What IS the point of Avatars anyways?

Thanks,

Yeah, gotta agree with ronandaggy and everyone else on that one...people should be able to make suggestions without fear of ridicule, but at the same time, there should be the reasonable understanding/expectation that those suggestions may, and likely will be shot down. No harm in that, and no harm in tryin', ya know?

I whole-heartedly agree. Please die. This is the suggestion forum, right? See what you can do.

I think a tight-knit community where people actually sort-of know each other and their individualities is far more special and gratifyingly successful than a huge ammount of new members who clutter things up and don't know or care about each other. Kind of like quality over quantity.

Why would we want double or triple the people here? So that they would just come and not assimilate to the MOTL way? So that people would flood into the site in droves and make MOTL a shell of what it is now? The sweetest fruits take longer to ripen.
