no, thats what mods are for. if you post something stupid you should have to face the harassment/embarrassment.

to reiterrate, i think post rating should be correlated to karma, just like pics/vids/threads are

but an option/personal setting for viewing replies would be ideal. Let the user decide how many replies per page is too many.

--100 replies per page
--150 replies per page
--200 replies per page

Most multipage threads average around 3-4pages. Personally, i'd rather view everything on 1 page.

Being able to edit your post or Atleast add on to it. That way if its It's one of those "will OP deliver" threads you don't have to scroll through all 30 pages to see if he did. You could just read the OP

I think we should have the ability to sort b/s/t by newest created or newest commented. It would be so much easier sorting through.

Also a separate my threads for is that you have to manually remove them. I hate finding something, asking a question about it, checking up later and forgetting to comment and then losing it

And have the links change colors so we know which ones we've seen

Why not? as long as he can't delete or change what was in the op before editing, only add stuf to the op

Editing posts would be pretty nice, I guess the drag is it would keep some memorable stuff from sticking around as soon as people realized they fucked up could just change what they said. But, in certain things like guides and instructionals. Ex trick tips, how to build a jib. It would be nice to be able to edit the post so that you can add things you forgot or notes to things that people bring up. Maybe no editing in Ski gabber or NSG but if you create a cult you can change the settings to allow editing of posts for simplicity sake?

When creating a thread and its title have previous threads' titles come down below to make sure that you arent creating an already existing thread. Comparable to when people get pissed at others for not using the serchbar.

Maybe make it so that you can set your own presets for witch regionals forums you are mostly interested in and then when you go to Regionals from the drop down menu you go directly to the ones you want. I think this would make people use those part of the forums more often. And make it so that you get a notification every time someone quotes you and make it so that you can turn that function off if someone finds it annoying.

What about an list sorting feature for any forum? as in a drop down box that lets you sort listings by newest created, most viewed, etc. I would just really like to be able to have all the newest B/S/T threads on top.

Have like chat rooms for different subjects. It would make some things easier. like selling stuff maybe or just talking about shit. similar to they way we can talk during the Sammy Carlson invt. or something . just a thought that might make the site more interesting

Yeah in retrospect this was a dumb idea. In my defense, i came up with it while reading all the shitty replies that spaghett and all those other wanna be troll guys. But yeah i actually like reading a true fail and seeing it get downvoted to hell. Its humorous

I get what you're saying, but when it takes up half of the main page it detracts from the sites functionality-- especially on mobile.

I think i might have said it before, but I'd really like a button in a quoted post that takes you back to where that post was originally made in the thread. It's on a lot of other forums, hard to describe, but would look like this:

I think the red names need to condense PYLP and mega threadsover 50 pages. Then every 100th page, it automatically expands to its full size so we can bask in its glory.

Something that would be dope is a way to make text hidden unless you scroll over it. For book or movie threads with spoilers, people could then post shit without it straight up ruining stuff for others.

Every time the threads page number ends in a 100, like 200, 400, 800, 1500, then that bitch doesn't have condensed pages numbers anymore, and looks like it is now.

Way too complicated just so we can see PYLP be massive.

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but I really like how, on some forums, you can scroll over the thread title and see the first sentence or so of the OP. It gives you a better idea of if you want to read the thread or if it's just somebody trolling or being stupid if the title is vague. Not sure how hard that is to implement.

Be able to favorite videos and pictures so we can have all of them in a convenient list on our profile. This way it is easy to keep track of stuff you like. I often see really cool videos and forget about them because the lack of this feature.

automatic hyperlinks for when you mention a name/brand in the forums and comments. the link would take you to the profile of that member. and a notification if somebody mentions you.

I hate to agree with the 217 fools, but they're right. Pinkbike >>>> NS when it comes to B/S/T. Just a partial step towards their system would be a massive improvement.

Please, a way to bookmark pictures or videos. I've seen so many sweet edits but can't remember the name then when summer or an injury rolls around I can't find them to rewatch. This would be a massive help.
