Can I make a suggestion that we make a Pokemon board.

Why don't we have a Zelda board as well? Or a Kirby and Fire emblem one for good mesure!
...
No, we are a Mario forum so I don't think it will be all the needed, plus if we give one other series its own board, soon everyone will be demanding that other series get their own board. The video games and handheld boards are there for a reason. As a Mario based forum, Mario it the only series that should really get its own board.
 
I think the reason he is suggesting that is the overload of Pokemon topics in the Handheld Gaming board. After all, Super Smash Bros got its own board, but I guess it was popular and of its own niche to get one. If Pokemon is the desired topic of Handheld gaming right now, let it be. It's not hard to start a new topic or post in an existing topic about other handheld games.
 
Basically, the FAQ is broken or my profile is broken.

I have 6 stars and ~3500 posts. According to the FAQ I should only have 5.

In short: Somebody should probably update the FAQ.
 
Is there any way in this forum to view embedded videos as links instead of videos? Because the videos seriously lag up loading times for my computer.

You mean like a link to a video?
 
Yeah or something. What I meant is that I don't want the videos themselves on the page, just the URL
 
I use FireFox
 
ok. i don't think your suggestion is possible to implement without modifying the forum software, but you might be able to use noscript to eliminate the slowdown

http://noscript.net/
 
I actually have noScript already installed so yeah thanks
 
ok. put this

Code: 
Site .youtube.com .ytimg.com
Deny from .marioboards.com
Accept ALL

into ABE in the options and it will disable embedding youtube videos on this site
 
Done and done
 
If feasible, I think there should be a feature where you can go back and see a user's previous avatars and signatures

don't forget names.

as for the avatar as signatures.

yeah as long it's one at a time.

but wouldn't that stress the server a bit?

On the wiki you can see many previous revisions of a user's page
 
The forums isn't the same as the wiki. The past revisions serve a purpose compared to user profiles on the forums. And I don't think it's feasible anyway, since I think it's like replacing files on a computer; you can't view previous revisions.

Don't the mods have logs which shows a user's profile history
 
Well, on a Forum that runs on IP.Board, there is a Display Name History logged for everyone to see.
I don't know there's a Mod for this for SMF, but it could save some writing for the Moderators.
 
If it is actually feasible, I think it should be done; I've seen a lot of users wanting something like this.
 
There's a View Profile Edits option for mods, but it doesn't cover avatars and signatures and I'm not sure it could be made visible to non-mods anyway.
 
A history of Signatures and Avatars aren't even realistic, if it was, then Porple's Servers would have been heavy in no-time.
