I'm creating this thread to put up a thought or two on possible ongoing tweaks to the site. I don't mind if this wants to become a more long-term thread that others contribute to. I don't mean these as an imposing "THIS NEEDS FIXING NOW ARGH!" collection of suggestions, just ideas for things that might get looked at as the Coding-Whills get around to it. So, let's begin! - Size 1 font is very small. The option of increasing the size is, of course, always there, but I was wondering if the default size could be changed to size 2, as it's a more standard 10pt size?
- Also - though I know more pressing is the issue where other people's profiles aren't appearing at all right now - on the mobile version, images appear that are in posts, such as the images I have on a few of the Yavin boards in the location's initial descriptions. They all show nice and fine and suitably scaled for a mobile device.
Images in profiles, though... nada. Could they be visible like in the posts? - Odin doesn't seem to have much beer. Could he get more beer? I feel he'd be happier with more beer.
That's all I got for now. |

Thank you, Dav. These sorts of suggestions are always helpful.
- The font size definitely deserves some consideration. I've also noticed that it seemed one size too small. I believe that's an easy setting to change globally.
- I hate to say it, but we really have almost no control over the mobile version of the site, aside from the color scheme. You will notice that no BBCode works on profiles on the mobile version -- it's not just a problem with images. That is because ProBoards doesn't parse BBCode for profiles at all, and so I had to write custom code to do the job. Unfortunately, my custom code either is not included in the mobile version at all, or doesn't work with the mobile version. So that's not happening any time soon, without changes by ProBoards.
- I will make sure Dazbog takes enough time off from his coffee to brew something a little, er, stronger, for Odin.
Please do keep the suggestions coming.

Thought that might be the case with the profiles. Never mind!

While converting my Coffee Brewer into an Alcohol Brewer might prove difficult, I believe that all it will take is a few extra parts, and some more buttons. Everyone loves buttons.
I might also be able to make it dispense any known liquid known to the Universe.....Oh the possibilities! 
Keep the suggestions rolling, Dav. We need input like this to make the site better.
