To get our forum back fully funtional again as soon as possible, I believe I should outline out short term goals to help me remember and let everyone know what is going to be done and what is done.
To be done
- Spell check and rules added
- SEO modifications and friendly URL modification
- Skin change or clean up (to those who hate it,
it looks different on this computer so I'll change it)
- Email send to all members informing everyone to reset their passwords (with note taken to which emails bounce)
- mod_rewrite used to allow old URLs to still work
Done
- Small SEO changes
Please let me know here if there are any problems or you have any ideas.

Hmm...You might want to add more smileys, have a link somewhere on the skin to the actual SSC website, and dont put the "lol" word filter the forums used to have (That was a real pain.)

Why no LOL word filter? This isn't AIM you know.
Actually, I can't filter words, only censor them. I will look into a word filter modification however because it was extremely useful.
I also rarely found most smilies useful, so those we have are here to stay. If you can make us some water-gun-related smilies, I might add them. From my experience, having more smilies usually means posts flooded with smilies, something I am trying to avoid. I have considered removing smilies alltogether because I don't think they add to discussion (but I won't for now).
I also removed the [size] tag and replaced it with the
and [h2] tags by the way. [size] had a tendency to be abused and the header tags are better for search engines.

No! Don't remove smileys! They are fun!
And I never really use different font sizes anyway.
Does the tag work?
edit: Yay it works
EDIT2:I typed this post with one hand because I was eating eggroles with the other

I haven't used any smilies yet on the new board [vBulletin smilies are strange]. Just like I don't use smilies on Trillian, because they are stranger than the AIM ones.
And I never really use different font sizes anyway.
^You just did.
EDIT: Using the quote attribute adds extra line spaces in the text following it. Weird.

I can help with the skin if you like. I just need a template to work with.
BTW I use Trillian. Akion 3 skin rocks.
I don't check this forum anymore.
