metlslime: please delete the above spam posted by IP# 70.224.231.22. 
Scampie: 
i'd love to but it goes against my nonsensical principles. 
 
but metlslime, it's SPAM! and everyone has exactly the same definition of spam, so it's ok to delete.

and besides, it's not like if you relented slightly in your policy of 'no deletion' that it would become a slippery slope. 
Scampie: 
it's too late... i'm already slipping.... aaaaaaaaaaaah 
Code Tags 
What aboot code tags? Would be easier to sift through some QuakeC in a monospace font. 
Phait: 
not a bad idea. 
Just A Minor Suggestion 
would it be possible to get something to fix up the time for different time zones? the timestamps are kind of useless for me atm. :P 
Necros: 
i have thought of that. FYI, the timestamps were EST for the first two years, then PST for the last two years. And now on the new server they're somewhere in germany, so i guess that's called CET.

Anyway, my plan is to have users choose a time zone in their preferences, and then to translate timestamps into their local time. 
Another Idea 
Ability to tag favorite posts. Say you're digging back a few years for some mapping help or a particular topic, you can flag it as a favorite, add a keyword or 3, easily accessible in your Account page. 
Also 
You could set a range of posts, like #234-263 etc. 
Interesting 
i'll add it to the list 
While We're Requesting New Features 
I've always been bothered by the fact that you could never link to the 'last 25' posts of a thread externally. Such as, if I wanted to link to the Speedmapping thread in general, but wanted to ensure that the link only went to the last 'page' of posts. 
Scampie: 
good point. 
Another Suggestion 
RSS feed(s). 
Yes... 
But what's the point? Even if I created a feed, nobody would realize that it even existed. 
Metl 
Why wouldn't they - surely you would link it somehwere for all to see... or are you saying RSS is so underused it's not worth it? 
What I'm Saying Is... 
go to the news page. 
Metl 
That brings me to news_rss.php which Firefox just wants to bookmark - but where is the actual .RSS feed that I could add to a reader? 
Phait 
news_rss.php 
Spirit 
index.html 
Inertia 
You failed to understand. The news_rss.php which Firefox just wants to bookmark actually works fine as it is a proper rssfeed. 
Spirit 
proper rssfeed.

Thought it had to have .rss or .xml extension 
Phait: 
I'm not sure that it does, but I'll find out. I can change the extension if necessary. 
News Archive 
the "news archive" link doesnt seem to be working, at least for me. : /
