Is there zero chance of the powers that be making a few improvements round here? The basic functionality is little more than adequate and I know a few people have been put off posting by technical aspects of this board
Some suggestions:
Make it more mobile friendly in terms of threads displaying properly on screen. That's a basic requirement.
An upvote/downvote system for posts, and the ability to view an individual's most upvoted/downvoted post.
The whole quote functionality isn't the best. Not sure how to improve it but I'm sure others have suggestions.
A better search function. Doesn't work great at the minute.
You're using this site for free. Extra functionality will cost. Can someone post the link where Stallion can make a donation?
There are a multitude of examples of message boards with vastly superior functionality which are free. To suggest users should pay for using this is absurd.
We were all asked to make a donation a few years ago. Shit, was that a scam?
I paid something way back. A fiver I think.
So - a move to a new 'free' board would:
- Reset us all to zero (think of poor Ziggy)
- Be plagued with ads
- Have a new address
- Would mean some would have to re-ignore certain posters
Would never work.
If we all paid a €5/£5 we could get all the functionality you desire I am sure.
I say we employ a super 8 format.

I'll not be paying but work away.
Aye Stallion.
Let someone else do it........
Good idea. Works for me.
Mobile is fine, the quote function works well. Search never really had problem with that function... maybe Stallion should try another forum?
The quote function is poor. You can have a whole page taken up with unrelated quotes and makes me not bother reading the new post if there are 5 quotes with it.
It could be changed by only being able to quote post at a time.

You can delete what you want and quote it no?
The quote function is easy if you can be bothered and not f**k it up.
The search function is too smart for me
The main improvement I can see would be GAA every weekend of the year. September to January is very hard.
The Man Utd discussion could be sold to a university psychology faculty and the proceeds used to upgrade functionality.
I've suggested the up vote/down vote before

Thank you.
I'm a bit taken aback that some of you don't see any issues with the basic technical issues on the board. Good to see some people have raised a few points, and even the above potential improvement. Perhaps one day improvements will be implemented.
How long ago was the last upgrade in functionality?
Make me a mod and I'll sort it out.
