This statement seems rather strange. If you had said "Unfortunately, I HAVE to write my own code" I would understand but that way....hmm

Never question RAZ , he blinks and you will be gone. The raw power will destroy you youpi

I suppose that with writing your own code, you can be sure that all the various mods you install work together....and you can tell right away what's causing a problem 😛

Too bad PHP for the most part makes my brain pop when I try and code it myself.

Would I be Called a B!tch for suggesting a new Skin or Two?

I know little of actual coding, but I've learned from experience what would make 2 hacks conflict with one another.

Probably not. 🙂

I have returned!

Why do you do that? There are some codes already written that for the most part won't disrupt the code you already have...even if they do, you can modify the code for your use. I've had to do that myself.
I'm quite proficient at coding, and it tends to be faster to write your own code, than find a mod for vB2, which are currently nonexistent. Also, I'm not comfortable with installing 3rd party code on the server, due to backdoors or security risks.

On a side note, I've modified the post bit so that registered date is no longer shown, instead a more useful "gender" has taken it's place. Hopefully, it'll stop the "i thought you were a girl"-type comments. Currently this is only visible on the default style.

Would it be better to offer an option similar to the "find posts" found in the profile section that would allow you to "find all threads" for a user? That would be much easier to create.

That sounds sexcellent.

Whatever is easier - and that would greatly help. 👆

I, and my good friend botankus, don't think that ius necessarily a good idea actually. YOu could maybe make it optional. I personally prefer to kn ow the join date (which has to be true) then the Gender which is probably wrong anways.

It will still be in profiles I'm sure.

Yes but I don't see the point Half the people probably lie aboot their gender..the other half doesn't specify it...no point in it really. Date Registered is a useful information on the other hand.

cant we have all three? gender, join date, and location?

if it can only be 2, i would think location would be the least important, since so few members put their actual location.

Or their actual gender 😐

But yeah, all 3 would be a good solution.

Im liking the gender business. 😊

Although im hating the default 🙁

I can still see the date rather then the gender.. 😕

It's only on the default theme Fi...

Thanks.... I just read that bit 😮

I'd like to see all three, then again, why don't we have a poll to decide?

Constantly but let's not talk about that small matter #bad#

I have a suggestion....could we have like an 'official' refernce thread for the more frequentsig makers...like what kind of sigs they prefer to make, themes, styles etc...whether they are taking requests, let people post pics in their thread etc...kind of for new people to look at to get an idea of who to go to for a certain type of sig....
