A request

2008-06-28 11:04:03

This is mainly for Justin... Could you please consider doing away with the time limit for replying to a thread?? Its totally un-needed,i see threads with a last reply from January and i cant reply (I have something to add to the thread) Would you consider testing the idea on one base for a month and see if it goes ok?? (I dont care what base you decide to try it on) (If it doesnt workout,we'll just forget the whole idea..) Dates dont mean anything and i hate having to repost my threads because my older ones i cant reply to anymore! (Games for example (To update my score)) Thanx for considering!

Refresh after "Encourage, Ignore, Watch."

After applying Encourage, Ignore or Watch to a post, I would like the screen to refresh automatically to show or confirm the effects of the action. -- "All men are equal before fish." (Herbert Hoover)

Underline Equality with Bold and Italics.

2008-06-17 14:05:23

My request is simple: I want underline to be treated with the same level of respect and ease of use that bold and italics are. All joking aside, underline requires the use of HTML, where as bold and italics use the "bbcode" format with brackets instead of > and <

Forum feature.

2008-06-27 18:37:20

Can we have a feature that won't allow double postings by members something like this. quote:Sorry, you can not write another posting in this thread yet. The last posting in this thread is your own. You have to wait for another reply from another member before you can create a new posting in this thread -- Visit- www.liveleak.com/view?i=ec4_1174876351

New forum request - Fairpoint

2008-05-04 21:28:59

For those who don't know this is the company that Verizon sold Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire to. We are starting to see more requests for info from Fairpoint users being posted in the VZ forums. It may seem early at this point to start a new forum for them but i believe it will be self promoting as more people look for info on them.

Allow the use of less than sign in forum posts

2008-05-05 19:39:18

It's annoying if you use a less than sign, e.g. [LESS THAN] 5 It just cuts off the rest of your post without any warning. I know its to prevent HTML tags but why not figure out another way to do it where you are blocking actual tags??? or replace the sign with the &lessthan; or whatever the hell the HTML code is? This has happened to me > 5 times already I post a thread and come back later and it makes no sense because half is missing! -- 09:F9:11:02:9D:74:E3:5B:D8:41:56:C5:63:56:88:C0

Frame of reference

2008-06-26 18:47:36

Thinking again ... Put an ICON of some sort, beside the original poster's name to make it clear that they are the thread starter. It could help long threads stay more on-topic within the bounds of the direction the OP takes. -- Jim -- USA2K, VoIP since 12/2002, VOIPo in Beta since 2/7/2007former Vonage and Packet8 . . .

"Internet status" forum request

2008-06-26 13:21:32

I think we need a forum or some other means to post about the status of the internet backbone. I don't know where to go to discus slowdowns affecting different networks etc. I know about sites like internettrafficreport.com and internetpulse.net but no place to discuss this data.

4 Sale forum 4 items other than Electronics?

2008-06-20 17:43:52

Your thoughts on having a For Sale forum in edition to the current one here: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Forsale Possibly one with household items preferably smaller items not larger items (within reason)? A 4Sale forum for items other than Electronics. The current For Sale forum:http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Forsale it is a real nice place and seems to work real well. EDIT: Would this change the way you look at BBR? Is this going to far, crossing the line, pushing the evelope, or just plain bad idea? Thanks

Alowing Attachments in IM/PM's

2008-06-09 22:49:27

I can't see a prior request for this feature, but many members PM each other on a regular basis, and it would be nice to be able to include/upload attachments in IM/PM messages. ANY comments??? -- "Lithium is no longer available on credit"
