Well of course thats why I did this, just so someone suggested I have more stars.

Ignore Members: As for the ignore member function, in my opinion it should stay as it is. Some people just cannot get along.

Search Engine: Ill look into seeing what I can do to improve the one on here, within my abilities that is.

Avatars: I think 150x150 50kb is a decent maximum. Assuming an approximate amount of 10 posts per page it will be at max 500kb to load. Which should not strain anyone's internet. Can anybody test for me if a 150x150 avatar works as is, or if i need to change anything?

Signatures: I totally agree. Signatures are not needed and will not be turned on.

Sou nan desu ka? Well, if people make fools of themselves or miss out on valuable information because they were too hasty with the ignore button, they'll have no-one to blame but themselves.

I totally agree with your second statement.

edit: Ok someone try an avatar again.
 
I'm not entirely sure signatures entirely need disabled. While I agree that sig images are pointless and signatures in general can be unwieldy, I also feel that length-limited (250 chars, perhaps?) text/link only signatures CAN be beneficial. Off the top of my head, people could link to their own mods/tools. This would be particularly handy for people whose projects are not frequently updated, as some really good stuff can get pushed back a few pages never to be seen again. If wasted screen space is really a concern, a smaller default size could also be used, and the size tag disabled.

Note: to be clear, I am absolutely not advocating or requesting signatures with images or any other stupid self-indulgent nonsense like that.

An example of a tasteful yet useful sort of signature:



My Projects:
A useful tool | Game mod | Another thing
 
i agree with corvarrs suggestion for text only sigs...makes it easy to link members of from the same projects, as well as listing projects you have worked on. It makes it easy to find more work from a particular author if you like their style. Of course this could be easily negated with a better search function.....
 
*Sighs*

When I can figure out how to fix the search function I will (remember I am new at this)

As for signatures, I dont know. Here is what I forsee if enabled: Some very few members will actually have something useful there. Most will have some sort of random crap. So do we allow the crap? Do I allow signatures and then remove the ability for the people that abuse it? That is an awful lot of work for the potential gain.
 
I agree with Kudistos, no signatures.  If you're looking for a certain Tool, there's only 2 pages to look through.  Mods come and go so quickly it's hard to keep track of who's doing what and is much easier to look through the first few pages of the Mods forum. 

I was wondering, would it be possible to change the link of the search from https://www.ff7catalog.com/] to [url=https://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=site:http%3A%2F%2Fforums.qhimm.com%2Findex.php]http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=site:http%3A%2F%2Fforums.qhimm.com%2Findex.php ?  That way if someone clicks the search button they will immediately be linked to google where all they have to do is type in what they are looking for after the .php.   There is probably some kind of script that could be ran instead, or probably a better link to use, but my homework has left me too drained to think properly.
 
I do not have access to upload files to the server. So no adding mods. All i can do is mundane stuff like modify boards and usergroups and such.
 
so this is kinda obscure but in the member's list. How about a way to organize member's by post count. Can't really come up with a good reason why this would be useful right now, I'm tired...but it might be. Anyone wanna back me up? Haha I'll keep thinking

Yes, it would be great if you could just click on the word post and have it arrange the list by post count in descending order. Even better if you could click a second time and arrange them by post count in ascending order. That way, we'd be able to see who has the highest post count and therefore the biggest penis.
 
Why not?  I'm curious.

He doesn't have access to the server. He is only an admin with access to the control panel, ffhacks has people that have this access.

yarLson, beat me to it.
