I was just thinking about this possible feature:
having like a "next thread" and "previous thread" button inside each thread, so you can navigate without going back to the main page... I guess this would only be useful when you know there are a couple threads in a row that you want to view... And now that I think about it it would probably go against Phob's streamlined-layout mission, but I just thought it would be cool. :D

What's humourous about this whole debate is if Phob or TuneMX put in a new feature, you'd all praise it, no matter how similar it is to other forums out there... I think it's more a matter of "we want to be as different from that other board as possible" without really thinking about the benefits of an edit button, a quote button, or even a "read last post" link in the topic titles.

how can i read this thread and not make a "xlt needs an edit-button" remark? it's impossible, and you know it! so yeah, xlt does need more buttons. learning to push buttons is like learning to deal with women. i rest my case.

Why not make a poll to see if it should be left alone or changed. If more people want it changed then a topic can be made for people to submit their desired changes. Then you can delete that topic, ban all those involved and everyone will be happy and content in XLTRONIC LAND once more.

premium members dont own the site, they just gave a small donation cos they freely wanted to
I dont think we have any right of decision
but of course phob takes everybody´s opinion into consideration cos he wants this place to be great

i see your point
phob tunemx etc have poured more into this site with regard to money than the members i can only assume
my point is the the paying members are the people who want this site and the opinion they have toward this site is more valid

I am sure phob is thankfull to all the members who contributed with a little money, so he surely has the will to give the best of his efforts to our enjoyment of the site
still, this is his site, and apart from listening to recomendations, he will always do what he feels he likes

The reason I was saying that was because I thought it would get rid of the "competition" for who has more points, and people would be less inclined to post rubish. Twas' just an idea.
Oh and phobia, thanks for replying to my email, good advice.

The board is perfect the way it is. That is the reason I come here. An edit function would be shit.
Alberto: you have to take into account server load, even what seem like relatively simple additions can add a lot more database queries which can lead to server performance hits. Also bandwidth consumption is increased etc. etc. and the board starts looking like a mess.

I hardly ever want to reply to more than 1 post at a time - if so, I mostly just do not follow-up to anyone, thereby following up to everyone.
for me, your suggestion is completely redundant.

Not with the way this board's CSS/HTML output is done... but that's for another thread :)
Phob: Why remove features? That's just plain silly in my book - plus, most modern boards are flexible enough you can turn features on or off - no need to modify anything by hand, and I'll say that more features does not mean a slower board - only how well it's coded determines that.

You don't have a clue how the back end of this board works, and as for the CSS/HTML, granted it is a little excessive at the moment but it wouldn't be that much work to clean it up as it is very consistent.
I'm not kissing rear here, but this board is the best I have come across on the net. It does exactly what it needs to do and does it well.

Seriously though, this board is great. it's fast, looks tight and the lay-out is clean and well organised.
Advice/constructive criticism: the search function could be improved and also perhaps something could be done with the black area that makes the right 1/3 of my screen. Last thing: I wouldn't mind a quote system but I certainly dont think it's a prerequisite.
