we're currently struggling hard with xltv2..... it's all going very well and we're excited about the implementation of a few new techniques.... oh yeah, baby....
the concept is more or less designed already, but there are always room for suggestions/improvements/additions of new/existing features.... so please feel free to add your "last-chance" suggestions in this thread.... it could be almost anything you wanna see in the next release of xltronic.
some of your suggestions MAY already have been suggested and implemented... but how could you know?
so, minor or major suggestions - post them here.....

dunno if this go under major or minor suggestions, but could xltronic change into a rock music forum?
just kidding, i would like to see as little change as possible, as the board is wonderful for its simplicity!!

a search engine that works all the time, and allows words of any number of letters.
it would be so much better to be able to search for rez, ico, de la soul, i.s.o....

Also... a search feature focused on the topics titles, not in their content, would be quite usefull IMO...

i could be most happy if there was a News section [ xcellent electronic music news from around the globe, new releases, either from big labels or good net-labels ] and it was updated every day.
and if each and every release in the discography section contained media/samples.
oh, and please, someone tag the tracks played on the xlt radio properly.
i think any new cool features are alright and awesome idea as long as the old cool features work perfect.
thank you and good luck

the possibility to only search threads started by a particular member.
you have ICQ and AIM, why not add MSN to the profile?
"spoiler" tags.. a box (preferrably a div) with a content only made visible by clicking or mousing over a link.. this would probably have to be by some "proxy" tag (for instance "asfdsadf" and then that would be translated into the proper tags later), as you probably wouldn't want to enable divs and mouse events for all users.
quote tags. italic just won't work on its own all the time, as it can also be used to put pressure on things...

> i've wondered about that too. (i've added my msn adress to my profile nevertheless.)
"i wouldn't like post editing ability" > you wouldn't?! are you serious?
"and i'd like weekly avatar contests" > you can make them as topics like now : )
oh, and i almost forgot: a thing that would be awesome: topics with polls. (like in phpbb.)

you click on 'crated by' on top of the page, above the names
of users starting particular threads. it will sort all threads
by user names..could be it won't work as there's some problem with accessing second page when searching though. but im sure it will work again once the search feature or page indexing works properly.

The official giginger suggestions:
Export to excel feature for your recordbag. I could possibly help you with the code for that as I have it on a system at work. It's a wonderful thing too.
Time restricted post editing. Just 30 seconds to edit your post to correct a spelling error or something. That 30 seconds includes the editing time so you've got to be quick to edit it. No leaving it to be edited. You can only edit once. No deleting of a post. Ever.
Post filtering. I'd love to be able to filter out posts by certain users. Topics too. If I could tick a box so I don't see their posts then that would be a great feature.
Can't think of any more right now.

I have a minor suggestion: could you add a link that goes back to the messageboard from members' profiles. I see there is a "back" button, but that often brings me to "last posts" if I was looking through posts.

Yes please, I'd really like to edit my own posts, what giginger said is pretty useful. Also, I know it has been suggested before, but in ours profiles there should be a feature where we could display the date of the day when ours premium memberships expire.
That's what came in my mind so far, keep on doing the good work Webmasters!

giginger: it will be possible to export/save your recordbag in XML-format. it's possible to import XML-files in Excel, yet, XML is a lot more flexible then XLS which also allows you to use the file in other enviroments/applications as well. i hope it makes sense...

Next giginger suggestion round:
File attachments to posts. Would it be possible to have file attachments to a post for a premium members?
There could be a maximum of a 10meg global setting for file attachments. To stop the place getting littered up the attachment could be valid for 14 days from it's last download or something like that. 10meg is a good size for someone to attach a track they've worked on or a sample mp3 of some bootleg they've found type thing.
Signatures. Please don't make them available. I'm sure you won't but I wanted to get that in there just to be sure.
An expanded profile info. Maybe a way to add your own fields? Say, I could add 5 extra fields of info to my info page so I could link to another site I have as opposed to just the main one. You have mentioned a user blog feature though so maybe you've covered that already. Sort of.
Attached photo viewer. I'd love to be able to browse the photos I've already attached to the messageboard. Maybe even be able to add them again without re-uploading again. I know you have the random viewer but surely there could be a small extension to that so that all pictures starting with 341_ could be shown to me?
None of these things are major but things I've thought about. Hope they make sense.
I'm sure there's other things that've popped into my thread at times.
Ah yes! A little button so you could mark a discog entry as having some wrong data. When you press the button a box appears which you fill in the missing info to. If appropriate attach scans and then that's sent to you/discog editors e-mail to be corrected as and when. This isn't direct user editing of the data. Just flagging it as incomplete and giving the info.
If someone just presses the button and doesn't attach the info then nothing gets sent. No point marking it as incomplete if they can't give the info themselves.

I was going to suggest somthing like that. File Attachments, like if someone has a new song and dont have a hosting site, here you could attach them for all of us to hear and comment about it, like we do!!
I think the "Blog" part was already said months ago. That should do it for me, of course, apart from everything thats been suggested here.

My two cents:
* New visuals. More variation in colour would be nice.
* A little area that sums up the music artists that post on the board, with a pic, short description and a link, something simple like that.
* No more irony on the board (just kidding)
