Here are some of the suggestions regarding future updates - mainly things I miss from old GTP:

- List of all users brought back?
- Posts per day count. I know it's mostly good just for spammers, but it was nice to have.
- Customizable profiles, which added a nice touch for the premiumites.
- Regarding the premium gifting, it should be the most important item on this list. @Stormtrooper217 is still awaiting a premo award for his Fantasy NASCAR adventure, for instance.

Had other ideas too, including expanding the list of currently active users to include everyone, but those 4 are the only ones I'd truly care about, in all seriousness.

Ninja Edit: Oh, one more thing, as Columbo would say. Enable smilies on visitor messages again?
 
Many of those suggestions are regarding features which are not part of our new forum software, but that could always change in the future. This new platform receives regular updates and will evolve at a much steadier pace than what you experienced with the old site, which had received no new features for several years.

I can manually process gifts of Premium membership, just send me a message with the details of the PayPal payment and I will get @Stormtrooper217 taken care of. 👍

Actually, it was @Justin who was hosting the Fantasy NASCAR tournament. I'm just making sure this doesn't accidentally get forgotten. ;)

Not sure if Fantasy F1 is suffering from the same problem, but considering it ended around the same time as NASCAR, there's probably another winner yet without their award.
 
I have a suggestion @Jordan .
Is there any possible way to (hard to explain) like when you type in times lets say 6 PM is what I type in. People in other timezones always get confused. So could there be like a time command that would change that time to their specific timezone?
(Of course they would have to put in the location that they live in. Such as Texas)

You might be better off using something like this for coordinating. You specify a fixed time and it shows users said time in their zone.
 
Will we have the ability to add polls to threads after posting them again? Could be useful when it's late at night and I'm trying to post a Cool Wall thread while dead tired...

Also, user titles visible on posts.

And list of users viewing a thread/forum.

Actually that's pretty straightforward; simply append a Z to the time. First, however, learn just what that Z means.


*note: you still have to do the conversion yourself.
 
Why is there an admin if he isn't really an admin? I would assume that an admin would be an assistant to Jordon, but, Famine doesn't do anything different other than answer reports and moderate? Shouldn't the Admin have power over the mods, as well? I mean, reporting and moderator is a pain, as it stands.

You're making a lot of assumptions there. Unwarranted assumptions.

For the love of god Tom Cruise, Who is Jordon?

That too.
 
It's what he does, but he's gone now so he'll likely never regale us with his insightful wit again.
 
One thing that's been bothering me lately, and which I forgot in the OP, is that in older posts (over a week old basically) the time of the post doesn't show up, only the date. Maybe that should be updated someday? ^^
