OP
I&acute;d like to see the last 5 news headlines returned to every page for example. So I know I haven&acute;t missed anything. And it would be good if I could choose which sections to have open (or some other technique that allowed me to view the site faster). <br /> <br />And there are more features I&acute;d like to add to the site, but gRAVE knows about them ;)

/me seconds Koa&acute;s motion on a single, non-catagorized msgboard. If it ever gets at a stage there&acute;s posted in more than 5 threads a day, I&acute;m gonna be out of touch...

Hmmm...I too like the personal pages at deviant and I&acute;d like to design my own here...I also like the concept behind thier Id cards perhaps we could have a personal image of our own to display that&acute;s larger than our personal Icon....I like AU&acute;s multiple personal icon functions...it would be nice to have more than one readily available for a rainy day...As always I think the skin navigation could be worked on and simplified...and I think multiple uploads of a same design should be placed in a group and counted as 1 skin with x amount of variations to give others a chance to see their name on the top of the monthly uploads chart...because it&acute;s always dominated by the same person every month and it&acute;s aways nothing more than 10 thousand coppies of 1 design...I think the recent upload thumbnails should be an option for the main page so that I could see it when ever I log on...

hehe @ bugzlitey. <br /> <br />It would be nice to have a &quot;Suite&quot; section. Where you can upload one main picture (a suite logo maybe) and then, when you click on that a new page will open with all the skins for that suite. Maybe that page can have its own skin (just as the personnal profiles on artuproar) <br /> <br />I dont think any of the other sites has that (but since i never browse devart and deskmod im not sure...)

We now have the option to use the old style skins sections menu or the new menu. It would be nice if the old style menu actually worked, once I left the Edit Profile page. :D

I&acute;m also thinking a wider layout would be better...maybe it will even reduce the amount of scrolling...and keep the stats...and allow for more awards, maybe based on the top 10 appz so that it&acute;s not as biased as it always is (ie icons, winamp, the shell that snowman ports stuff to) ;) ...maybe even have skin of the day,week and month...

/me leads bugz in the direction of: <br />http://www.skinbase.org/ms_poll.php monthly skin <br /> <br />/me directions bugz&acute;s attention to the skin shown at the top of the frontpage: Daily Skin <br />;) <br /> <br />Btw what &quot;shell&quot; are you referring to, that I should port to?! The only shell I use is good ol&acute; Exploder! :D <br />But I guess you&acute;re thinking of Hoverdesk... -> Shell <b>enhancer</b> :D ;) LOL 🌙

I was thinking a box for &quot;updated mods&quot; would be kinda cool...that way people could see if a mod they use has been updated, and so people wouldn&acute;t have to re-upload stuff just to get the word out.

YES I REMEMBER ONE!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :D <br />(if you visited our irc channel you&acute;d know the whole story, the full story and nothing but the story :P) <br /> <br /><b>User customized layout</b>, much like the one they got on AU, where you can &quot;shuffle&quot; the various parts/tables around as you like! That would be just grooOOoovey!! I guess that requires a hell of alot of coding, but I know that G-man could pull it of! <br /> <br />I&acute;ll come back when/if I remember more....

Hrm, I could ofcourse have more latest threads displayed, I see... still. On layout, skinbase always struck me with displaying a huge amount of options from frontpage. While the options are good, display suffers, I always have to look closely before clicking. Dunno, hide some stuff in menu&acute;s (there also must be faster menu options then currently for skin sections ?...), merge some things, maybe delete some (top 10 categories, who&acute;s online ?).

I like the who&acute;s online personnaly, this way I know if I should post or not. Let&acute;s say JamesT is on the site, there will surely be a flood of icons, this way i&acute;ll wait to post <br /> <br />(jus jokin&acute; mr T)

LOL - I like that BruB :) <br /> <br />We do have a skin of the week. We just don&acute;t publish them the right way. :( <br /> <br />When you vote for the Monthly skin, you are selecting the winner from the weekly winners. Daily Skins get a bronze medal. Weekly get Silver and the Monthly winner gets the gold. So if you see any Silver medals, they were a weekly winner :)

I&acute;d like to see private messages on the site...it would make things easier than having all the messages go into a users email when they wish to contact another skinbase member. Maybe the ability to edit comments and forums posts would be a nice touch as well :) <br /> <br />Other than that I really like Skinbase&acute;s features. As for a new look...I&acute;ll leave that to the other members.

I like the idea that WC has for being able to see when you have new comments on your personal skins that haven&acute;t been read instead of just new comments for the day.

hey I have more.... <br /> <br />-Automatic signature on msg posts <br />-A birthday box (We all entered a Birthdate, why not show today&acute;s birthday) <br />-A better Basehead information, I sadly have to agree with SnowDude that AU hit the jackpot with their system. Would be hard to do better

Some cool ideas. I like the birthday idea of BruB&acute;s. And raises!?! You need a starting salary before you get a raise ;) <br /> <br />Visible emoticons!?! Get some glasses ;) <br /> <br />Personal messages we used to have. Hopefully they could come back. <br /> <br />User pages is something we have spoken a lot about. Hopefully we can really improve on those. <br /> <br />And I think v3 will end up with us removing all current site designs :) (CLUE!) :D <br /> <br />Keep them coming folks...

hrm... no matter what&acute;s done <b>don&acute;t</b> get rid of the Sputnik site skin puuurrrrrrrrleeez! <br /> <br />I kinda like the B-day box too, but.... that like you know... requires folks to actually <b>type in their date of birth</b>... and from what I&acute;ve seen so far not alot have done that!! <br /> <br />On the (maybe) new personal pages, we should have a a journal/news kinda thingy (AU/DA styleish)

Lot&acute;s of good ideas flowing here, except for one drunker LOL <br /> <br />Extreme panic here...... scarebear says > And I think v3 will end up with us removing all current site designs (CLUE!) OH NO NO NO, not the skinbase default, NO PLEASE keep it, it does not have to be a Default, but don&acute;t get rid of it..... It&acute;s the only one I use ALL the time :-( :-( :-( <br /> <br />LOL @ /Elwin: /me slaps /Elwin: on the back of the head and says, you know better then those demands, come up with something cool, and that&acute;s ok koasati, I guess I&acute;m blind toooooo LOL It would be nice to have them a little more bigger :-) consider you senior citizens LOL <br /> <br />Please, Please with my B I G mouth I need a FABULOUS chat box, one that&acute;s groovy and &acute;convenient&quot; to use, one with all the smileys on the chatterbox, like a slide out window with smileys instead of a pop-up or changing the page to get a smiley :-) I&acute;m not asking for it to be decorated in leopard skin or flowers :-) <br /> <br />Is it possible for the site to have an automatic adjustment in different &quot;resolution&quot; so one does not have to use the SLIDE bar on every page, or the option in the profile to change the site resolution or the site skin have a setting to change a resolution to fit one&acute;s taste.......
