What bells & whistles should the new board have

[filbert]

Thread to discuss features of a new SDSUFans.com Forum board--what you want, and how bad you want it.

For me:
- SQL database
- Doesn't take too many host cycles (we're running on a "shared host&quot
- Easy to administer
- Easy to moderate
for starters.

What do you, the SDSUFans.com community, want in a new SDSUFans.com Forum?

Some posters have inquired about an ignore button. Is one available with new software and if so, do people really want that available?

IP address display, to help catch nefarious users with multiple identities. It's not foolproof, but it's helpful.

Yes, many of the systems I'm looking at have an ignore-user feature.

Moderators have that now . . . just become a moderator!

I'll adapt to any changes. Don't care about stats or status. Just like a place where I can get info and opinions on the Jackrabbits. Something easy to navigate and easy to read for those who use the site only for info and rarely or never post, like many of my friends.

I'ld like the "new" button to function as it does on the "old" board. It may be my limited brain power, but I've never gotten the one on the future board to work.

I agree with this statement...the new button is awesome and significantly reduces reading time. Also, I like how it colors the thread groups on the main page to denote new information is in the group.

I'd say if the new board can do this then I won't be too opposed to changing over to something new/better.

Lastly, I'm all for the Ignore button as I've stated on here many, many times!

Ditto on the "new" button, definitely a must on any future forums.

I third that. I have tried to view "NEW" postings on the new software and I when I select "new postings since my last visit" it comes up blank every time.
