    Default What features would you like to see added to BlueBlood.net?

    Okay, everyone, in your fantasy wishlist, what features or functionality would you like to see added to this site, either in the forums or elsewhere? (Besides direct personal messages. Forrest knows that one.)

    being able to upload pictures to your server.

    I'm ok with features (aside from the PM issue). I don't think the site needs any sort of "shout" box... or..anything weird like that.

    A legend would be great, to help figure out what those stars mean.

    And what happens to contact info in the profile? I put my AIM name in there, but when viewing my profile (or anyone elses) there simply is no place for it to appear!

    And the member list is disabled. Which is useless, but you can click on each persons profile (such as music they like or turn ons) and (i think) see who else has that in common. or would be able to if the member list worked. Not sure though, since I am not familiar with this script very much.

    and the "quick links" menu. A lot of that stuff is actually important. Maybe a "forum" menu on the left would make things easier.

    Otherwise, it's a good blend. Since it's just a community on top of a whole other slew of content, it doesn't need to be full blown, and I like that it isn't.

    just my $.02

    noooooooooooooooooooooooo! hahaha...there was this old tech site I went to that had a feature like that. Needless to say it was taken down in a week since people would upload it then use link to the image all over the place....just chewed up bandwith...and most who used it where not even active members. Plus picture hosting this day is free or cheap so their is no real need for it. Least that's how I see it.

    Plus many lack the fine art or "editing pictures so they are not the size of a house". Their was this couple who use to post here and had images of themselves that even at my high rez desktop setting has images nearly 5 times that...it was insane. Plus the legal aspect of hosting images that do no belong to the lovely owners of BlueBlood would probably not be a good idea.

    I'm kinda happy how things are at the moment...with PM's getting fixed can't really think of what's needed. Plus I like going to a forum that does not have obnoxious "signatures" or annoying little things to make simple posts a mile long.

    Well they could always disable hotlinking on this site, to prevent bandwidth hogging.

    Pretty sure they could resize uploaded images. Don't hold me to it.

    Either way, I agree that I don't think we need it.

    we? I only got here a few hours ago!

    Worse comes to worse, I have 20GB of storage and 100+GB of bandwidth to play with. If it seems people need a place to put their junk, I can always alllow uploading to my server and only allow hotlinking to this site.

    I don't think it's needed, though. From what I've seen, the forum has been ok without it. I allow image uploading to my server and hotlinking on QDork... which...come to think of it... could potentially be a very bad idea.

    what about a "tip jar".....to help with any server cost....


    just a simple "paypal-like" thing where we could drop a tip to our lovely hosts to maybe lessen any stress of running the place.....




    after thought)* that might have problems with our intenational members,but it could still be usefull

    As far as functionality goes I don't think there's anything I'd like to see.

    Feature wise maybe an expanded links of interest section. Not quite promotion but stuff of interest. Clothes, shops, clubs, news what have you.

    I like the local scene idea too. Good one Kellie.

    That'd be interesting...lord knows it's needed. Most such reports come off as being about promotion instead of accurately reporting what's going on.

    More feature writers, and yes..I think a local scene report would be a cool feature. As long as it was kept current. Posting more upcomming events and the like.

    • Forums: tracking of viewed/unviewed messages/threads stored in database (I view from multiple machines, and it's a pain to go from one to another and lose track of what I've read and what's new)

    • Blue Blood network: The option for some sort of multi-site membership combo package.

    • Forums: A legend for the stars - I figured them out from context, but it was very befuddling at first.

    • Forums: Restore member profile functionality (interests, etc)

    • Forums: A way to click onto a thread to view the last unread (instead of the current first post or last post only)

    • Forums/Community: Member birthdays - I remember you mentioning your birthday in one thread, Amelia (coughAugust19cough), but I have no idea, for instance, what Forrest's is. And these are important things to know!

    • Forums: Improved search

    • Content: I know this will be a sensitive topic to suggest in light of how shabbily you've been treated by people that have claimed to be your friends and collaborators, but I'd love to see an "Amelia and Forrest: How We Do It," under-the-hood sort of feature. Not that I expect (or even want!) you guys to give away all your techniques, but a glimpse into what goes into a photo shoot would be really welcome. I'd love to someday have the seemingly effortless photographic skill you two exhibit.

    • General: Some way for me to participate in and contribute back to Blue Blood more deeply — writer? coder? proofreader? cheerleader?
    More later if/as I think of 'em.

    A photo gallery, not just for those fucking sexy ass BB gals. But for us attractively challenged members as well. Someplace where maybe people could send you a pic to post. Have a direct link so you could go directly to the gallery, instead of pulling up individual profiles. You could list them alphabetically and have names and captions with each photo.

    It's always cool to meet and talk with people from far away places, but it's even better if you can put a face to the name.

    then again..WTF do I know.

    I was picturing more of a "family album" feel to it. Something specific for pics of members, and events..etc..etc...I want a pic of Amelia brushing her hair. or a good embarrasing shot of Kellie falling down in public..that kind of thing.

    Sorry but I really like "candid" shots.

    A big page of thumbnails you can "pop up" with descriptions, names, or quotes for each pic.
