Hopefuly there isn't a maximum number of suggestions for the "ToDo List"....

I frequently get complaints in the Other Games Forum that I don't clean out my PM box often enough, and while I thought as a plus member it wouldn't be a problem, it still is (partially because I am unwilling to delete old messages).

The PM indicator (at the top of the page) indicates a % that your PM box is full, but this percentage is incorrect (perhaps only counting messages in your inbox instead of both the inbox and the sent folder?).

As a result mine currently shows 62% full when I have approx. 260 messages out of 300 (closer to 86% full).

I do, I do. The problem is with mixing text and formatting tags. The message looks very ugly before it's actually displayed, and finding errors by just reading it can be a problem. It is for me, that's certain. I need a debugger - the preview.

That is actually a good point. I often use HTML code instead of vBB code. In PM's HTML code is disabled, but I keep forgetting that (old habits...). It can be helpful with other formatting as well (e.g. code fragments).

Tired of ads?

I would also support a suggestion that has risen here - joining low traffic forums.

classic games and other games is one example.

Not to mention the main forums page is getting terribly messy and will get messier when Civ IV rampage starts.

In any case, making lots of very small forums is a sure way of killing traffic to them - cause most will stop visiting the smaller forums, since they target a small audience and aren't updated as much.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Other Games is hardly what I'd call a low traffic forum. Putting any other forum in there, particularly low traffic ones would see their threads drop like a rock below the continuously bumped FGs. Games people are actively playing survive, classic games would not.

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Agreed. But the Civ3 forums are a good example of forums that should be merged a bit more than they are today. Take "Civ3" and "Conquest" forums; First one has only a little per cent of the posts of the latter, even though they are about the same game...

Nikolai, we just got a new sub-forum for Civ3 PBEM-tracking threads. And it would be very appreciated, if it stayed separate.

Merging Civ3 General and Civ3 Conquests is a good idea.

Back when Civ3 was more active I proposed consolidation of the forums to Mark, but he never replied. I suppose that means he doesn't want to. I guess it would take some time.

Currently, they are both about the same game, basically. Most people have, and play, Conquests anyway. I mean, it's not like the add-on is new anymore.

Suggestions:

2.) Answer my PM about the Civgroup Icon for the Hall of Fame

3.) Create a HoF Civgroup

It would be nice if the memberlist could be sorted by character with an index. (so you'd get a list starting with the letter "j" for instance)

There's a also a bug with the post-count in off-topic.

Not too far off. On Paradox's forums(which IIRC is a newer version of this forum's software), they have a character index.

Yes, but I think that Markos said that with all his current hacks=- an upgrade would be unlikely because it would make many of them obsolete
