First, I congratulate myself for not writing another "help me?" question in the Support and Feedback forum. Second, let me suggest (if it is possible) that we change our ranking system slightly so that our members are consistently ranked on both sites? A member who has proven himself/herself should have the same high privileges in one forum as is the same in the other forum. The number of posts should also count the same...whether or not you include the myCENTS system or not. That way,
Trusted Or Expert Members Group
Hello,Well I was thinking today now there is no [Hosted] group we should work on some groups which would be easy to reach or set a challenge, This will also encourage members to stay here and keep posting.I was thinking on the lines of groups such as [Trusted]Member or [Expert] this will show to new members that you can trust the information they have given.What do you think?
i have always had idea floating around in my head about trap17. i always like thinking about how i can make things better. i don't really offer my suggestions much but i thought i would throw one of them out there...we get mycents for replying to posts and creating new posts and topics. my idea surounds what posts we create with the "new topic" button. yes, we get mycents for that. i would like to see a system where we would actually get a % of the mycents that people would normall
Adverts, Admins: Dont Go There.
So i log on this morning and see some irritating, out of place, out of theme sidebar javascript widget with CHAT written in it and some horrible PINK block and "Bob dylan tickets"Now, i am 99.9% sure this is not adware on my PC. So.... I do not want to buy bob dylan tickets, i have no interest in him, live concerts or tickets of any kind. Nor have i any history relating to tickets, so if you are going to do averts at least look at what they are advertising for christs sake! Next, i
Softaculous Instead Of Fantastico
Is it possible to offer Softaculous Auto-Installer in the near future? Its like Fantastico but its much more user friendly and has double the amount of scripts. For fast installations it really helps. http://www.softaculous.com/They update fast also.WordPress is on 2.9 and Softaculous has it. Fantastico is still on 2.8.6Plus WordPress Mu is also thereI request you to please consider this
Suggestions And Mostly Complaints
You know what this thread is about, so let's just go right to business. 1. The shoutbox sucks. Today I was talking to a member and all of a sudden all my shouts appeared on the top and it seemed like I had gone crazy and was talking to myself. So, please, it's annoying. Use a new shoutbox or at least try to fix the current one! 2. The main page is weird. Really. Look at the left side on below the link "Earn AD-REVENUE for writing here!" there is one empty
Ok me an some others think the current shoutbox is a little buggy well I have a solution.It's called Inferno Shoutbox, as far as I know, it's bug free and it has alot of nice featuresQUOTE -The ability to send other members private shouts inside the shoutbox-A nice bandwidth saving feature that it will only refresh if there is new shouts to fetch-Admins can do many things from inside the shoutbox like banning people from the shoutbox just by typing /ban Name-Shout Logs-Shows active shout
Hello all, and hello particularly to the admins, OpaQue and Buffalo.Alright, so I've had a discussion with OpaQue about installing some mods on here, such as a Members Online Today mod (shows all the members that have been ONLINE today, or any other day). Since I couldn't be bothered to root around looking for mods for Trap, I decided to code some of my own for Traps forum. The modifications I've coded for my IPB Support forum will be publicly uploaded to the following IPB sites:Invi
Hi Trap. I am sorry to nag etc.The Xisto Support Team is so slow and limited now..since velma left the team, support has been unbelievabley slow. If you guys complain that your support is small, then perhaps consider getting newer Staff to help with the Billing area support? In my opinion, I'd personally vote for haslip, SM rval and truefusion to help out. They are a big help in the community.Please don't just close this topic and warn me for this suggestion.. :/
Suggestion For New "pinned" Thread
1) My myCENTS are not being updated2) I'm getting a message saying "License Validation Failed" when I login to XistoI'm sure many of us have faced these problems in the past, and we know that they're usually solved really soon. But the new members, in all their innocence, start a new thread in the Q&Q forum every time they get one of these problems. This has lead to the Q&Q forum being cluttered with such threads every now and then. Frankly, it's boring to read
There Are A Lot Of Old Thread Resurrections...
I'll admit that I'm guilty of resurrecting ancient threads for some credits when I first became a member here, but I don't do it anymore. I don't like checking View new posts and seeing a bunch of replies to threads of members who have been gone for years. It just seems to make a mess of what's going on and I have to sift through irrelevant things to get to the threads that are worth reading (with active posters!).Of course, I'm not the boss, so if anyone feels the ne
Hi guys,Seeing as everyone hates the idea of upgrading to IPB 3.0.X, We could at least make the current forum better.Though the admin's don't seem to be interested in there members. Why can't we get a new skin? We have had this one ages, It would like 1-2 minutes to do the my cent skin edits...We choose one as a community but I very much doubt the admin's will install it because they seem to be very lazy.Why can't we try and make this site faster for people in the UK, Defrag
Hello,Its just a bit strange why we have not upgraded to the newest version of Invision Power Board. It looks a lot better, A lot more features as well.Why don't we upgrade I mean what the forums will be down for 1-2 days while the upgrade is fully completed.Also if we do upgrade get a skin called "Clean-Cut" its a great skin and I am sure all the community will love it.
Hello,This forum has now become very slow to what it was. I am guessing this is because of the huge database.Well why can't we prune inactive members and get them deleted.I have see sites much bigger with a lot more members are super fast. Do you think you can improve this speed as it is getting really annoying to post and navigate around on these forums.

Hello all!Now after some time I have actually made a topic about it, A [MODERATOR] said to make one and see the members views.Now, You may of seen a members group called [HOSTED], This meens that if you are hosted with Trap17 you would move into the hosted group.That just came to a end a long time ago as nobody could be bothered to do it.What do you think. do you think they should start doing it again? Most of the members that are in the [HOSTED] group no longer keep active on here anymore.O

No, Seriously, We Need A New Theme!
I think every big forum gets a thread like this every two weeks or so I'm talking about changing the theme of T17 forums. It's very decent but most members would also say it's dull I've seen many members suggesting that the theme should be changed but the topic got diverted due to larger, more important things. But I feel it's time that we started thinking about this seriously. I've been here for a short while (2 months) so I don't know whether or not this theme has
On the old credit system for hosting you were able to transfer "credits" which is now, in a way, known as MyCents.I think that the option of this should still be allowed because I think that many people would utilize it.A sure common way I would utilize it is make competitions (probably weekly) in the graphics section for signatures, designs, and so on, and provide MyCents as an award. I also think this would be great exposure to the trap17 graphics community, bringing in many people w
Hi guys,I have recently been looking at the staff team and most of the staff seem to be inactive Mostly moderators. The only staff that I think are active are the following:TruefusionSaint MichaelRvalkassjlhaslipApart from them I think the others should be sacked from their duty and old members should be given the chance to be staff.Please provide your feedback on my opinion.- Ash. Thanks to DarkArcher For pointing this matter out.
Can't We Allow A Change In Display Name?
I got this idea while replying to another topic....can't we change our display names in the forums? I am aware that this feature is available in the IPB package, because I use it frequently on another forum.On that forum, the users are allowed to change their display names thrice a month (not the "username" just the "display" name). The change is allowed only after checking if the new display name is available or not. I think this might not be a very huge feature, since s
My Suggestions To Trap17 Forums
Hi guys,I have been a member at these forums for almost a year and have just seen it go down hill since I signed up and started posting.I have been thinking in my spear time while logged onto Trap17 and below are a few idea's/suggestions & Ways you could improve the forum altogether.New Theme, This theme seems to be old and quite dull. Would make a great change!New things to keep old members interested! Less down time, The forum seem to be down alot. Try and keep 'em up!B
I know a lot of people will scream at me for saying this, but I think that we should remove Astahost and migrate everybody to Trap17( or vice a versa), because when I typed in "free webhosting no ads" on google it was highly confusing seeing two almost exactly the same features.
When Will I Get My Website Setup From Xisto?
I ordered the "logic plan" for $1.95 a month. I picked my own domain (a .com website not a .trap17.com website). i have about $1.95 left. will i get it set up still even though i chose the .com website?
Can We Get An Rss Feed For Trap17?
Can we get new posts on this site published to an RSS feed? I'm trying out some agregator software, and an RSS feed for this form would likely make me check in more often. Don't forget to make sure that feed categorizes the topics because there are only certain topics I am interested in.
A Suggestion For Changing The Threads' Structure
This is not an original idea - it was implemented at another forum which uses IPB as well and it's worked really well.Whenever a thread gets a certain amount of replies, the next reply forms a new page, right? An active thread gets many pages like this. And when someone clicks on the thread title, they are taken to the latest post in the last thread. For a member who is viewing the thread for the first time, the discussion may not make sense (unless he wants to reply based on the title) and
Create A Topic For User Requests
Hi Admin,Can we possibly have a thread in the main page, so users can request on specific topics for instance. I'm doing web development and there are few areas that i would need assistance with. For example. I am interested to know how to create a contact us page so when the users fill out that form and click submits, provided that it has form validation and submits to particular email. My Question in this case would be can we have the requests thread created and if someone is able to answ
Ok, so to briefly describe the inspiration for this topic:I replied to a topic in "Meditation, Pranayam, Yoga" under "Health and Fitness" earlier today and was happily browsing for others to comment on. After a few moments of scrolling back and forth, I happened to catch sight of a new topic post in the same forum area that I'd just been commenting in. A little concern popped in my head, since I'd experienced a loading issue on my end when I'd posted my reply.
I couldn't help but notice that the music area is a tiny little sub forum and it says no post count. Why no post count? I'd sure like to discuss music, but it seems to be a tiny part of the site and I can't understand why it doesn't deserve a post count. Not too many music lovers here, I guess?
Move Javascript From The Java Sub-category
Hi!There's something off about the title of this sub-category. I mean, just try and spot the odd one out:JavaJavascriptJava ServletsJSPYes, that's right - it is Javascript. Javascript is by no means Java. It doesn't compile into Java bytecode, it isn't strictly typed, it's a whole different language! Why then is Javascript bunched together with Java, Java servlets and JSP? The only thing Javascript shares with Java is a part of the name.In fact, if you look at the AJA
I am currently on my drive to see if I can post 100 articles within 48 hours and as I am scouring through the forum I have noticed that there are many topics that need to be closed. Now I am sure that the mods have a system where we report topics/articles but I was wondering whether I could simply add in this topic (only editing the original post) the topics I feel should be closed. Because I do not wish to spam the moderator's report system with hundreds of reports from me The rest (spamm

All if they are "Good Understanding" Support staff why do I have to explain the same thing 3 times...Please reply with what
A suggestion for the Admin...I was going through topics on the forum when I realized that there are plenty of domains/sub domains that are outdated or suspended so I was thinking that members could post outdated links in this topic so that support can remove the sites from their server. Now when I say I outdated I mean the .trap17.com subdomains that lead you to the Cpanel page. I do not think the suspended sites should be removed because there is a chance that a member might return one day to g

Free Domain Name Request Should Be Closed.
Hello,Well I have now been on this forum for a while and keep seeing members posting in the section "Free Domain Name Request" Requesting for a domain or hosting I think that them sections should be closed so new members stop getting confused with that or Make it redirect to the new system topic and how they can get it...What do you think?-Ash.

Hello,It seems after all these members and post's that the forum speed has gone very slow maybe you need to upgrade or get more servers to host the forums.Is anyelse in the UK finding the forums slow?
1) Roleplaying-Roleplaying is something that interests a lot of forum users, including me. I would love for there to be a roleplaying section. I like to make characters and make stories with others and stuff on forums. This is traditionally almost always a part of any big forums and I am surprised that it is missing.2)Psychology-I know there is a mental and emotional health category, but I feel there should be a category solely for those seeking advice on the subject of psychology.

How About Moderating Own Threads?
As thread creators on trap everybody wants that the posts on thier threads are clean and spam free. I am talking about posts like one liners, quoting text which are just above. I found that they are'nt usually deleted considering the huge traffic and posts rate. How about giving moderation powers to thread creators themselves. I know there must be some restrictions to implement it. How about members above 200 posts given moderation power for thier own topics? What do you think would be the o
I have an idea. What if every member of the Trap17 forum were required topost one new relevant,original topic as a thread once a month?It doesn't seem like much to ask.Then maybe we would have more new interesting threads instead ofthe danger of there always being the same ones.There would be more ideas and more flow. We probably wouldn't haveto sift through too many of the same topics trying to find something to say.I think it would be interesting.
Hello,I was just thinking if you should close request hosting accounts sections at the bottom of the forum to stop getting members confused with the system.I think that would make trap 17 even more easy to use which is good news for every one.- Ash .
Make It Easy For Every Of Us To Earn
Hi TrapiansI had a suggestion to all of you to make it easy for every of us to earn through our site by increasing the site traffic......I am not here with a plan to invest any where its just a suggestion.......We can make a forum on trap17.com and register our sites here or in other words we can make a group where every site owner can submit his/her site.....And each and every member who submitted his site will click on the ads of the other members site.....It'll take only a few minutes to
At the moment if you do something wrong they increase your warn level.but that doesn't really do anything and doesn't affect the member that has done something wrong. My idea would be to increase post quotas (mainly to discipline spam posts) so they can't post as often.Just an idea though.
"+customers" Group Instead Of "[hosted]"
I'd like to suggest a rename of the "[HOSTED]" group. I think "+Customers" is better then "[HOSTED]"Reason being of this is because Invision Power Services (IPS) has this group name and I think it's pretty cool. But they have "+Active Customers". We could have "+Customers +" instead of [HOSTED]. What you all think?
tonite I got to thinking Has trap17 ever thought of having a music player or a radio station playing here in the forum? I think it would be cool as heck to be able to listen to some tunes as we read and post topics.
This may have been brought up many times before but had a thought of something that may bring in more members and help out a little. Has Trap17 ever thought or even had a Arcade? just a few games and such. Top player could get say X amount added to there mycents or some other type of a prize? It may help in getting all these guests I see that are always signed in on to join up. Only a thought. but have always been told never hurts to ask.
Suggestion About Kontera Ad Revenue Sharing
The idea of Ad revenue sharing is really a great one. I really appreciate it. No other community ever tried to share its ads profit to its members. But I think it is not working as expected. It is very very difficult to reach the minimum payout $100 and we have to wait for very long time. And also many clicks and impressions are wasted as some members are not satisfied with this and quitting from this service. So, I think it is better to disable this revenue sharing for all other members
Okay I have been looking around more and more here and I am seeing a lot of topic started as far back as 2004. Don't you think it would be a good idea to move them to the arc?
Well I have been here in trap17 for a while now and I have notice something here. I am into the weather. There have been a few other posts of this kind and a lot on globle warming and it's effects on the weather. Would you please condider adding a sub forum on this topic. 2 reasons it might take off and help. 1 would be easier to find the thread you may be looking for.2 I bet if you just even do this as a trial it would take off fast
Since Trap17 Is Being Upgrade I Suggest Some Forum Changes
Since Trap17 is in the process of getting updated I would think it would be time to update the forums themselves and I want to start off with deleting some forums that are pretty much useless both SEO wise and MyCent wise.FREE WEB HOSTING REQUESTS Forum should go because everything is being done on the billing website this is a useless and dead forum and people won't have to worry about people getting their email addresses. Also since it has no connection to SEO and credit and post counts
Well the first one is tiny but I think it would help for a lot of us. I've noticed you have two versions of the forums - one I'm assuming is designed for SE traffic with plenty of ads on it and one is for the members so they can have the nice vibrant forum feel to it. I constantly find myself clicking on the header naturally in order to get back to the home forum page but then get taken to the SE designed one - anyway you could change it so this doesn't happen?Also the other thing I

Strategy & Real Time Strategy Sub-forums
Hello!In the Games Area why is there a Strategy (with the description: "Real-time, turn-based, and[...]") sub-forum and also a Real Time Strategy sub-forum?This is redundant and confusing to users.I think, for obvious reasons, that the 2 sub-forums should be joined.Thank you.
Has anyone been to the homepage of Trap17.com lately. It looks like it was a good template at one point but now I can tell it hasnt been changed in a long time. It looks very cluttered and is kind of confusing to some people. The forums here are great and the people seem to really know there stuff and I would just like to see what some of the creative minds here can come up with. Maybe even hold a contest. Trap17 is a great place and I think the homepage should show it. I challenge you to design
I think there should be more ads on this site. it means they can make more money so they can spend more money on the site to make it even better than it already is. i personally don't mind ads on websites they don't affect me and as i send above they give to company more money to spend on the website.

An Idea Of Trap17 Web Application
Lately, I was thinking of creating php script for my personal use. The script --> Using xmlhttprequest for dynamic update and cURL for processing the remote page, I would get some specific data from the forums index page, like the online users on trap, dynamically. And more stuff like the latest article (dynamically), top forum credit holders (@SM-> ) and may be even log the chats, so that at the end of the day I can find something interesting in there. All this things arranged neatly on
Is The Advertising Of Private Servers Allowed?
The RPG forum and several other online gaming forums keep bringing up private servers as part of their discussion. Now, I can understand that discussing private servers is ok, but you can't tell me advertising them is.First of private servers are illegal. They steal revenue from programmers and make a mockery of what took plenty of years to develop. These are people's professions we're talking about here. I'm sure a lot of members on this board are programmers themselves. Postin

Ok, so maybe this is more a question than a suggestion. What exactly was the point of changing the Trap17 Forum title to Open Discussion? The title of the site is very clearly not Open Discussion so why call it that? You're confusing some multi-taskers over here! I can't find the Trap17 No Ads, Free Hosting tab in my taskbar anymore!

Why Do Hosted Members Need Posts Aproved In The Internet Forum?
Ive posted a few topics in the internet forum now, and its really annoying that hosted members (any member in general but i understand about spam protection) need to have their topics approved.Now i understand that to protect from spam and what not some posts need reviewing but at the end of the day, being a hosted member means two things: One is that im probably going to be an active and good member of the forums and not spam anyway and Two: that if i do spam you can just take my hosting credit

Adobe Flex/flash/actionscript Forum
With Flash Player 9 on practically every PC, a lot of web developers are moving to Abobe Flex, Flash and Actionscript as a development platform. I've seen a few posts related to the platform and I feel that a dedicated forum is more than warranted. Flash discussions could fall under web design as a sub-forum, while actionscript could fall under Programming Languages. There is also MXML to consider. It's Adobe's custom mark-up language for flash components. But these are just suggest

I was wondering.. I love trap17 and its a great way to actually host a decent forum.. but.. would it be possible to also host gameservers? they shouldn't be that big and it depents on ur credits how many slots you've got.. for example: I've got 49 credits, and a regular slot for a random game costs 7 credits. Do the maths, its a 7-slot gameserver. If u want a 30 slots gameserver, you'll need 210 credits for 1 month.. I can promise you that hosting gameservers will gain trap17 loa
Hey all,So this one here is to the moderators here at Trap17. I was about to make a post in the topic and I noticed it said it was closed. I looked for the post saying why it was being locked, and it wasn't there I think it would be a nice idea to have a post stating why something is being locked rather than just locking it. It helps people not be confused and help to correct the problem later. I think we have had people before here thinking that it was a bot who was locking random topics,

I know a few popular sites where people go to hire programmers, web designers, etc. I don't like the open bidding system, though, where coders are bidding down their price so low that they're not going to make any money for their efforts. Maybe the forum should have a 'minimum wage', flat rates or payscale that members agree to follow. Maybe we can all contribute to the structure so that it's a great
The skin here is default to my knowledge.So it doesn't make it differnt and unique from other forums.I suggest to invest in a skin. Simple as this and easy to look at but differnt hex colors etc.On Zeta boards you can change through differnt themes. I'm not sure about I.P board, but if this is possible you can keep this also and give a selection of themes so people can decide on what there prefer.Also the banner could do with some updating. The outer glow on the top text make's it lo

How bout the slow typer if there is..Man this is getting old..And as far as my reply to the do with "do you believe in"God" . Well, I guess "God" did not like my reply..LOLSorry God....
[suggestion] Allow Users To Delete Their Own Topic
I've had the following happen to me twice within the past few days:I struggle with a problem for three or four hours. Eventually I give in and post asking for help. While I wait for the help I continue working on the problem. An hour or two down the road I figure out the issue on my own. As such, I no longer need the topic I created. I'd like to delete it so as not to waste people's time (and clutter up the sub forum), but I don't have the privileges to do so.Being able to d
For a website that offers such good free hosting, youd think there own site (minus the forums) would be better designed. Having been to a lot of free hosts websites, this one does fall in the the common trend that free host themsleves have a confusing, cluttered homepage. This is possibly due to there attempt to cram in as much offers and details on the one page as possible. I suggest to improve this site, it should take advantage of percentage width of tables to utilize the full width of the us
Regarding The New Rating System
Alright, I love the new rating system as you can tell how much I've been using it, but there are a few little things about it do annoy me. I've waited up until now to share it just because I thought it was in beta or something and was going to be changed, but I think I'll post my opinions now. First of all I'll talk about having your icon next to your name:People with names as long as mine, it goes onto the next line, and when you mouse over, it goes back up to the previous lin
Support For Asp.net 2.0 And Mssql
Hey there Opaque/mods and admins,I was refered here by a friend named Soby. Though he became inactive here due to his real life taking up most of his time, he kindly recommended me here for a better than rest paid-type hosting account.To this point I have found the forums a best source to hold any sort of discussion on any type of matter and be helped on anything. Apart from the Hosting, I find this website a good place to stop by and spend some of my time.Well the main reason I opened up this t
Suggestion: "buying" More Space
I'm thinking of setting up a system of "buying" more webspace for your site, just like the domain name feature.Say, if you pay 20 credits, you get another 100 MB of bandwidth for your site. Or, if you pay 40 credits, you get 10 MB more space.What do you think?Sorry, could you change the "buy" in the title into "buying"? It seems like I'm trying to promote a paid hosting site.
Ability For Non-hosted Members To Award Credits.
As I already mentioned in the other topic, OpaQue has resolved one of the two reasons I am still hosted, but he has yet to address the second. I would love it if non-hosted members are able to award credits. Now I understand why it is disabled, because they gain credits faster than hosted members, but you could put some kind of conversion tax on it so it balances out. I wouldn't mind. I just feel like I'm wasting a credit a day on nothing. The only reason I still have my site is so
Listen, I'm all for Xisto and if bringing back the ads if it means more money towards Xisto, then I'm all for it. The ads didn't bother me, and I clicked them every once in awhile, so did a lot of other members. I think other members will agree with me on this, and I think it's for the better of Trap17 and Xisto
A Mod Or Two To Cover The Night Life...
I would suggest that maybe, trap17 tries to find some of our members that not only fit the bill for a mod, but will be able to mod at night time.There are a few users like me that will stay up late into the night (somtimes all night) reading and posting on the forums. Unfortunately, most of the mods are usually not on this late. This could also hinder some of our members that live around the world. It slows down the hosting requests, and catgories (such as the Tutorials section) that need post a
Does anyone think it would be a good idea to make a Wikipedia article about Trap17, in case anyone wants to know more about it?I searched for an article on Wikipedia about this site but couldn't find any based on Trap17. What do you think?
Ah the boring old trap feedbacker. Probably the most active account without a sig or avatar. Now I know that non-members can't see sigs or avatars but us members should see something more than just the name. I usually recognize a member here by his or her avatar rather than the name. (Oh there's the hybrid bus guy) (Oh there's the christian penguin mod)... Anyway back on topic. At first I was thinking that the Trap feedbacker should have a sig with a link linking back to the to
Every time I edit one of my posts with a url bbcode tag in it that has a carriage return in it it turns into html form while editing. For example right now i'm going to typeCODE[url=http://trap17.com]click here[/url]Then I'm going to click edit, and then submit modified post:CODE<a href="http://trap17.com" target="_blank">click here</a>This is a very annoying part to keep fixing every time I edit my posts.
Mistakes happen. In the fury of writing long-winded posts (or short, meaningless drivel) it's often easy to misspell a word here or there, or overlook a typo. I have no problem with that, nor with taking a little artistic license to spice up the post if it adds some intrinsic value to the thread. But lately, I've noticed some folks going out of their way to deliberately misspell common words and butcher the English language beyond recognition. To cite a recent example, one poster found i
Trap17 Home Page Banner Mistake
I just now noticed that the flash banner at the top of trap17's home page has an error. It says "THE BEST YOU CAN FIND ON WEB". Obviously it should read "on THE web" since "the web" is the phrase always used to refer to the internet, and not just web. This is about as major and noticeable a mistake as the site could make, so I think this especially needs to get fixed.
Typos: Editing The Trap17 Rules
I noticed there was a typo in the Rules because of them being quoted in this topic:http://www.trap17.com/forums/big-problem-p...pic-t54676.htmlAnyway, I noticed some other typos, so I decided to do a thorough edit/commentary on the rules. I decided the easiest way to show the location of errors as well as their locations would be to just quote the entire rules text. I have highlighted major problems in red and minor problems in orange so that only the most clear-cut problems can be easily dist
Suspended Account Warning Addition
For the most part, the red-lettered warning for users with suspended accounts is pretty informational. However, it lacks one item of information that is extremely vital for such users to know - that after 30 credits in the red their account will be deleted. It makes no sense to hide this vital piece of information away in the rules section while not including it in the red-lettered warning. And as users will be most annoyed when finding out their account was deleted because they didn't kn
I just noticed while browsing thru some subforums here in trap that the icons for the threads don't specify if I have made posts on the thread. I've been to other forums and they have customized icons for threads like if a thread is locked, active (hot topic) or if you have posted something there. I know some of you would think this wouldn't be necessary but I think it's important especially to prevent double-posting on threads, repeating threads and stuff. That's just my obs
