Although, one idea is if an automatic PM was sent to new members titled something like "Welcome to the forums!" that tells them a bit about tSR and links to the rules.

Great idea, it's got my vote.
RE: Suggestions - ~Axis~ - 06-01-2012
That's a great idea. Then the members would automatically be familiar with the rules. Although, this will only work with members who allow PM's to be recieved.
RE: Suggestions - puggsoy - 06-01-2012
Yeah, but PM's are automatically enabled by default, so they wouldn't be able to be disabled before they get this message, since this would be sent pretty much instantaneously.
RE: Suggestions - ~Axis~ - 06-01-2012
Oh, That's right.
I would suggest putting the "switch to full version" link back on the mobile version of the site. It's hard trying to switch to other themes once on the mobile ver. Try it yourself.

Honestly, the search engine can be improved. It's very..crappy at the moment.
For example, if I type in "Super mario bros.", anything with "super", "mario" or "bros." shows up, and I have to scroll quite a ways down to find what I'm looking for. Maybe an "Advanced Search" option? It would have a console option, various keyword options (Like "Search for exact wording" or something like that), etc..
RE: Suggestions - Garamonde - 06-02-2012
They're working on that.
RE: Suggestions - Petie - 06-02-2012
The new search system will accept all of the common search modifiers (quotes for exact phrases, plus and minus for must and must not include respectively, and some others I can't think of right now). Advanced search won't likely be necessary as results will be separated by category though I'm open to suggestions if you think that system can be improved further.

I love tech members here...
Barubary, any progress on the Icon Maker?
RE: Suggestions - Garamonde - 06-03-2012
He will work on it, he's very busy TGE.
RE: Suggestions - ~Axis~ - 06-03-2012
Can I suggest that we could make our avatars slightly larger, in terms of file size and resolution?
RE: Suggestions - Garamonde - 06-03-2012
I would like this too but it would stretch things out too much.
RE: Suggestions - ~Axis~ - 06-03-2012
Hmm... How about we stretch the WHOLE site to a slightly wider resolution?
RE: Suggestions - Dazz - 06-03-2012
... I'm not going to even acknowledge that with an answer.
