How about making the "last changed" text for each post a link to the last post in the thread - considering how frequently messages update on this board, that would save users following a thread from having to scroll down through all the stuff they have already read to get to what's new.

a great suggestion but i don't think it's practical at the moment, what with the whole site still being developed..

That IS a good suggestion. Especially on those threads that have more than 250 posts. Dunno how quickly it could be knocked together, anyone?

There's so much excess space to the right, more than enough room for lots of crap. I always wanted a ''last reply by:''username'' thingy.

...or you could just change the settings to display the newest message first. seems to work fine and has about the same effect.

Keep your eyes peeled for new mb features in the near future...
The minimal nature of this mb is part of it's charm I think...I certainly prefer this sort of interface to mbs than most others I see out there...it's clean, uncluttered & just plain works...
hehe...I'm such a fanboy...:)..

great suggestion, i always thought it would be a practical feature.
another suggestion would be to make it easier to know which person replies to who. something in the like of the dead (rip) warp mb.

Gubb: what if you wanted to read the thread that started the whole mess in the first place? You'd have to do the same thing. Using the suggestion, you'd have the option of both.
Jand: Simple is nice...I remember the good old days when messageboards were just nothing more than a glorified guestbook - no user accounts, email features, etc. Just posts.

What about a feature where you can vote for a topic to be closed? All theses dumb topics that keep opening. Maybe 5 - 10 different people could vote for it to be closed and it would. That way we wouldn't have to rely on the Mods so much.

well...for example...same message repeated twice in a topic, gives you 10 minus point...
and...if 10 or more people votes (and that would include a post-voting function) that a surtan post is stupid, also 10 points minus (or a deleted post)

That may still increase the traffic. If someone is determined anough to get loads of posts they will keep posting. How many people are going to be bothered enough to cintinually vote someone as a spam poster. Plus the fact the site is free already is good enough. Can't ask for free stuff for taking up bandwidth can we? I think Phob said it's $100 a month for this site. The points are really just an indicator of how long you've been here.

How about instead of having the mods determine what we can and can't see (closing a thread down because they disapprove of it) there could be a way that the individual user could decide if they want to sort of 'block' themself from seeing a particular topic. In other words, the topic doesn't get closed down so nobody can see it (unless of course it's a particularly offensive and/or pointless topic), instead the user can choose to lock that topic only from themselves. So, if I see a topic like "Aphex Twin Sucks", instead of waiting for a mod to close it down and then nobody can discuss in it, I can just select "block this topic" or some such, which would prevent me from seeing it anymore in the list, but to anyone else it still is there.

Do non-paying members get to see the pics that paying members post?
If so, then does that mean nobody's donated to Phobia? I hope that's not the case, 'cause this server is expensive.

I'd like a feature where it tells you who was the last person to post, that way you could see if it has been updated, It's annoying to go through an entire thread to realise that your post is at the end, and none has replied yet
