It was a great idea... Call it Pretzel FOrum, it doesn't have to be just about pretzels... Let it be the inane forum where people can just get really silly... Let it be the pretzel central warehouse where i can go off on intangibile stupid things that make no sense, and we can weave a reallly strange dialogue. come on fellas.

New Member here and I'm going to ask a DUMB question even though I've been warned in my new member pm (yes I actually read it and comprehended it). How can I print a thread so it is actually legible? Yes, I did some searches but got everything but what I needed. The Stax thread is quite long and will supply me a month's worth of semi-intelligent crapper material if I can get it to print without everyone's album images smearing all over the text. I'm done - flame away!

When I go to someones profile, including my own, all entries just say Array. I can't see what gear or hobbies anyone has anymore. Just me?

Hey everyone, I've been planning to add a number of features like a portal integration and also an integrated photo gallery for awhile now. One of the reasons why I've been hesitant to do this is that I know many of the members like the current ability to use any of the installed themes and switch between them on their own. To add the portal and gallery features the ability to choose your own theme would have to go away. Everyone would be forced to use the same theme. Are these features something that you would be interested in? Or would you rather have the option to choose which theme you use? Unfortunately there really isn't any middle ground, so its either new featu…

I'd like to see the quick reply have all the functions currently available in the regular reply. Not a big deal to simply hit preview and do what one needs to do but it would be a bit more convenient I guess.

I wouldn't mind a name change myself to Eric5676. Is this something that can be done without reinventing the wheel? Is it something that could be added to people's profiles so they could do it themselves or is all that more trouble than it's worth? Just an idea. No biggie.

I don't know if I'm alone in this, but I'm still puzzled by the Search function since the forum upgrade. For example, I search "the descent" in "Search Single Content Type". I get the search results by post, except there's no post preview like in the old interface (I really miss this option). Then, no matter which post I click on, it always brings me to the last page of the thread. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I have been having problems with the search feature recently. For example, I search for Neko and only get 4 hits (all for Neko Case). However, there should be hits for Neko DAC. I can't remember when this started happening.

I saw this on the Steve Hoffman forums and think this might be cool to have. Basically in the "Search" drop down has a check box that allows you to "Search titles only". I think it would be convenient to have. Yes I know you can do it by going into "Advanced Search" but still, it's a suggestion, right?

Are we able to search within a thread? If not I suggest that.

It would help if you could type in to go directly to a particular page rather than having to advance a couple pages at a time. Maybe that's already available but I haven't been able to access it.

I don't know if the idea would be frowned upon, but there are some good things to be found on Craigslist that are not local, and many of us have run into them, so the obligatory "someone buy this for me" thread is made. Just wondering if there is a way to search users' locations to facilitate who we can contact for help. Come to think of it, most users have this info incomplete, so perhaps it wouldn't be practical to begin with... Hmmm.

Show own posts appears to be broken beyond page 1. I tried it by clicking my own profile and nate's, and they don't appear to be working, neither. Firefox 2.0.0.11 on Windows XP SP2+.

Is it possible to change smiley code from [/php] to something else? Every time I put a date [php](1978) or (1988) it changes to this (1978). Some goes for listing items 1) 2) .... [/php]Looks like this 1) 2) ... Not a big deal but can be frustrating when you notice this after editing time expired.

I was trying to search for posts containing "m^3" and all I got was posts with the letter m and the number 3. I tried it with quotes but didnt help Suggestions?

Can we have Spoiler Tags? I like that we have strikethrough. But would be a nice addition. -Ed

I didn’t want to ruin Ric’s enjoyment of Enola Holmes, so I tried to wrap the fact that I enjoyed it too in spoiler tags, and they did nothing. Operator error, or are they broken? @tkam

Is there an easy to way add Spoilers. so that people would have to click a button in order to show the stuff inside the tag, click it again to hide it again?

Am I the only one getting kicked out regularly? It used to keep me logged in for weeks at a time. Only if cookies were reset or the like, I'd have to log back. Also, the layout changed to the default (as if it had crashed). If I change, it will default again. This became noticeable since the last week or 1.5 week or so... And more often than not, the "show unread posts" resets to show no new posts. Confusing. It So what I am saying is I am very displeased and want all my money back, dammit! ;_P

For some reason, "latest updates" doesn't show the "what are you drinking now?" thread. I'm sure there are others, but that's the only one that I regularly miss. If I click over to "all threads", it shows up. Is it that it doesn't show stickies, perhaps?

Sorry if this is redudant or watev, but I get outbox in both my inbox & outbox, I don't know if it's tapatalk's problem or ours or whut... Sent from mah Droid

Is it possible to increase the text size on the forum? Regular replies are fine, but its very hard to read text in quotes. Thanks.

Hey guys, before i got the mot title, I have the maybe the most valuable title: "Cat herder extraordinaire" this title was the most loved belonging of me, given by you. I tried to contact mods/admins about getting it back but got no response (except dusty, sorry). Now I wanted to ask all of you. If I deserve it, please give it back. If I do not deserve it, please let me know. Maybe most of you don't understand how important for me to know if I deserve it or not but, it is really. Cheers, Özgür. Edit: got a bit different title and I cannot post on suggestions. I got the lesson. second edit: thanks to @grawk I got even better title. Whi…

Since traffic is low enough here, I usually use "Show Unread Posts Since Last Visit" to view posts. But sometimes, if someone responds quickly enough, it doesn't show up in the list. It'd be nice if the time of the last visit was somehow reset to the time of one's last post once your session times out. I know it could affect some people adversely (I.E. if someone does a lot of lurking, and very little posting, then that list would basically never time out), but I don't think it would be that inconvenient, would it? Or how about: what is the timeout period? Let's say it's 5 minutes. If the time of the last visit could be reset to the time of the last visit minus 5 minutes …

A lot of our off topic discussion is about television shows and movies, so what about a TV and movies subforum? I think it would have decent activity.
