I guess that works. I was thinking along the lines of specifically cooking but there really isn't enough cook guys around here to make it worth it. Also, I know there is a rants and raves section but does this include spamming? I don't like to spam but making a spam forum does cut down on idiot people and such. Just make it to where the posts don't count, like in the journals

Posts don't count in the games section. I believe they do count in the journals. Either way, cooking is a form of artistic expression just as much as it is a method of preparing food. Just make a new thread on it and see who responds. You might even be able to do it in General Chat if it is not specifically related to art, which would make more people look at it.

I think. Don't quote me.

Thats actually a nice idea. I dont think it would matter much if it was put in the creativity section since it doesnt affect the main page and that section only has three other forums.

It has my support (although besides just grilling over the summer, I havent cooked much in over a year...stupid dorms...)

There has been some concern over the activity in the Creativity category, and it may end up getting merged into a general Creativity forum. For the cooking, throw it into General and see who responds.

It's coming in the next version, which has a BBCode editor. It's a bit of a pain to do right now.

Also, it is quite annoying when someone posts an image, and then someone quotes that post along with the image. Is it possible to remove the [.img] tag if it is quoted?

It's something I'm looking into.

ICQ, AIM, MSN and various messangers are listed in ones profile... would it be possible to put in one for Skype too?

I believe that it uses "callto:" or something like that...

Although I really don't think anybody on these forums, except a handfull of geeks, uses Jabber.

I used to use Jabber back in it's beta stages. It was too buggy back then so I dropped it.

Just a minor addition. On the main page, a clear all undread messages button. I don't read all the boards yet, and going to each one to delete the I read all messages is a bit of a pain... They have them at EZBoard, so I'm pretty sure it can be done.
