Personally, I'd prefer to be able to block certain users messages from appearing, that way I can ignore the people who post stuff I don't enjoy reading.

May be some one else is ready to enjoy the stuff... When the author is ready to post the message... there is some other person ready to read the same

I don't mean block for everybody, each user should be able to set which posters they want to read or not read.

So.... the user will have the forums without their 'unwanted posts'?? Is that what you are talking about??

Yes. Each user should be able to maintain their own "ignore list"

Slashdot.org has something like this, and it works well for me:

Registered users can mark another user as a friend, or a foe. Messages from my "friends" are sent to the top of the pile, and messages from my "foes" are sent to the bottom of the pile.

My list of friends and foes is public knowledge available to anyone viewing my profile. I can also see those that have marked me as a friend or a foe.

Voting allows me to say "thanks" or "lol" or "what crap" without having to reply (which is slow)

For forum ratings it would cause horrible flame wars (hey you, why did you vote me "1" !)
Dead | X|

But for article ratings it would be very helpful. If I knew who rated my article as "poor", I could ask him what is wrong with it. Usually people are too lazy to post a comment after reading two pages of text and find it is crap, so they rate the article "poor" - and I don't know what exactly they mean, so I can't correct the article.

If the person really wants to vote you down in the articles... he/she will / should have to reason it

Let the system allow the user to poll, only after the user posts a comment.

Then you would get a comment something like this.
"I didnt like this"
"Useless"
"sucks"
"wtf"

Re: Allow images in posts

17-Apr-04 19:21

What i mean to say that, if you force someone to post a reply when he votes, these kinda nonsence replies will be there instead of constructive critisiism.

And ppl who really wants to give a constructive critisism do give one.

Allow images in posts

The HTML IMG tag should be supported on these forums.

It is already possible to do it using the DIV tag but this is a very laborious method.

If images are to be allowed, then please make it easy for us.

If not, then images shouldn't be allowed via the DIV tag.

Anyone who wants to add images to their posts:

Just find a post where the SIG contains an image - there are many of them.
Right click and view code.

Copy the code and edit it to point to your image.

There it is!
