There's pretty much to choose from.
Currently being considered/looked into:

  • Resource uploading system


    • Download page.
    • Upload function.
    • Advanced resource search (theme based).

  • Chat Room


    • Hopefully integrated with the site if I can do it.
    • AJAX being the second choice so far.

  • Reputation System


    • 24 hour wait between reputations.
    • Automatic database and installation.
    • Reputation number in post details and profile.
    • Reputation Reasons.
    • Reputation History.

  • Sidebar


    • Show/Hide.
    • Recent news and updates.
    • Active topics.

So what would you like to see? And what do you have to say about what's being considered/already implemented?

New skins for forum?Like TBC Theme,Woltk Theme,Cata Theme and MoP Theme.
Themes don't come that easy.

Here's what I am working with.
Spoiler: click to toggle

Basically I am going to implement more themes, but it would be more fun to tinker with if I had graphics. So if anyone is interested, how about helping out with that?

Graphics mainly. Don't know how many 2D artists we have floating around though. I might just use free-to-use graphics from Warcraft III or World of Warcraft MPQ's.

I'm not sure this was even in the list of options, but while we are on the topic I think its probably worth mentioning that it seems like a lot of people, myself included, had some trouble with picture display. I think the URL option for showing screenshots is kind of limited, if its possible to get a setup for that more like the old site, that has my vote as priority. As to rep, recently, and especially now that we are on the new site, it seems like we are a relatively small community, and the people who use the site know other user's work and who is valuable.

Its easy for me to say, since I don't expect any badges personally, but it seems like more of a vanity award more than anything else, and if thats the case, why not just let those people set their own names and titles? If somebody who is active and a longtime member wants five Master of the Universe badges and an Over 9000 Shiny custom title, slap it on them and call it a day, eh? Titles are cheap and make people happy, all that comes from making people vote is making other people complain or take advantage.

I'm also against the currency system. The community for WC3 is dwindling, and its not like to grow much because the game just keeps getting older. The main thing keeping it alive are high quality sites like this, so if you restrict the high quality resources, that can only hurt growth - ultimately that means the people putting time into those resources will get even less appreciation than they get now.

If I had access to see how the old site set up the picture uploading, I would. As for this site though, the only way you can do it is if you use the image uploader through the forum (To my knowledge). If you upload it, like how I used to do it on the other site, it just shows as a download. One thing users can do it just that, post the picture through the uploader, than set it for download. Honestly though, I don't know why the pictures won't show. I created a test account just to check pictures, and tried that test account on another computer, and I still get them to show up. So I don't know what to tell ya.

Entirely probable that you could use the thumbnail code from postimage instead of the actual image itself. That seemed to fix it for me once.
