    I would like to see all new articles on the main site, automatically linked to the forum as a new topic for discussion.
    This would have the effect of drawing attention to new articles and cause more people to read and discuss them.
    People would see the new topic and likely review the article before posting

    @DiscoVolante I'm pretty sure you can turn off e-mail notifications for PMs in the my preferences section of the profile.

    Can an admin please briefly explain why 'music' does not have its own section?

    I totally get that an attempt has (rightly) been made to broaden the categories, although music, like literature and games, deserves a category in its own right, as opposed to being lumped with films.

    In KTBEU, music would be one of the few categories I would be sure to check everyday, largely as a consequence of the specialist knowledge in the section, discussion of Barry, Arnold, etc; title songs, and soundtrack sequencing.

    I urge the admins to reconsider and give music a section in its own right.

    @TrumanLodge From my understanding the idea is to see what's popular and then split the categories from there. So I think there need to be a lot of music threads first, though I know what you mean, they could easily get lost in the film section hence my "007 FAQ" suggestion.

    Quoting Samuel001: EDIT: Another suggestion for the site would be the make more use of the white space - maybe expand the columns - and add a background colour option, such as light blue, to make it seem more lively.
    Seconded. Black or a darker color would be nice.

    I am with Samuel and JamesStock on this one. The color drastically needs to be changed so its easier on the eyes. A color scheme like the old forums would be nice, so this does not resemble Facebook.

    Is there anyway to see how many people and/or who is online ? Otherwise i could be on here on my own one day and not know it !!
    It will also help if you want to PM a mod or someone urgently to know which mod or member is online.

    Are we able to delete our posts? I posted a gif then saw the end of it... it had swearing. So I tried to delete... but can't. So I had to just change the comment. Looks a bit lame. :-S

    Quoting retrokitty: Are we able to delete our posts?

    No, even if they're not replyed to there is nothing we can do. Hopefully this'll be looked at.

    I'm glad someone else wants this back. The "Who is online" was indeed a great thing and in time I hope it returns.

    Samuel... it looks as if you've really revamped your posting habits. Too bad there is no post count visible yet. Can't wait for that feature.

    Post count is visible. Always has been.

    Mentioned it before but wondered if there were plans to have a kind of "mark all discussions read" button?

    Back to the top button?

    The Inbox.... I have a few conversations going and if I happen to be the last person to respond in several of them, it only shows my name. I can't tell which conversation is which without going into it. Is there some way that the other participant can be listed?

    Thanks to everyone who replied. I've tallied up all suggestions, technical quirks, and ideas and will post them in bullet point form, in a somewhat organised manner soon, with the issues resolved highlighted as well.

    Based on that the admins will investigate and prioritize (usefulness, possibility to implement easily or not, etc) and hopefully post the technical roadmap of what's being worked on as well as a backlog.

    Does anyone think it is time to put a game on here to persuade people to come back each day and vote ?
    It should get things moving IMO.

    Great news Luds, I'm looking forward to seeing what's what as well as the collection of information and suggestions. Good luck with collating it all.

    You can make a suggestion for one in the game ideas thread. I think the reason we haven't got one up and running yet is because not of the ideas suggested were that good! Hopefully you can pick something great @barryt007 and it'll be the one we play.

    I've put one in there but obviously they don't want to run with that one.

    If nothing is chosen soon, it would be best to just pick something I'd say, so at least a game is running. Though I think another reason for no action on that front is because the forum improvements were a higher priority to begin with.

    Go ahead and create a game, Disco gives permission ;)

    Like @Samuel001 said, priorities have been elsewhere.

    But please note that this will be one test game only. For future games, we will have a queue similar to the one at KTBEU, and Samuel's gunbarrel elimination game should be first in line.

    Quoting Samuel001: Perhaps having the "007 FAQ" section back up would be good, as many of the "least favourite" whatever threads are getting lost amongst the other film discussions.
    We'll get to these as we get a bit more volume and need a bit more organisation.
    Quoting DiscoVolante: Ability to choose default view. Some members prefer to have the category view, some others may want the current default of all recent posts. A setting in your preferences would be good, and the default view will be the one in green at the top of the page ('Discussions' is the green, default one for everyone right now). This default view should also be reachable from the bottom of each page, as of now you can only choose "Back to discussions" and not "Back to categories".
    It would be a big modification and quite a challenge but I agree, a neat feature. In the mean time I suggest you bookmark whichever view you like best as your "default" screen.
    Quoting DiscoVolante: Email notifications. I get an email everytime I get a PM, something I'd like to disable. But I can't find a way to do so.
    Head over to http://www.mi6community.com/index.php?p=/profile and push "My Preferences".

    More generally, as I notice Luds has said, the moderators and the administrators (myself included) are working on compiling a checklist of bugs that we'd like to have fixed ASAP and cosmetic and additional features we are interested in having added on. Once this is finalised it will be posted up and kept up to date.

    Excellent new feature. I think I'm starting to like this forum more than the other one! Keep up the great work, guys.

    1. Have your comment appear after posting, rather than having to click back onto the conversation--this helps catch any spelling/grammar errors one might have missed
    2. The already-mentioned 100 times: issue of scrolling down pages and having the page number at the bottom rather than the top
    3. Include all the editing features that we had on KTBEU: Insert IMG, URL, Bold, italic, etc. Why are these gone in the new format? It made it so much easier and interactive.
    4. A link to all posts by user on their profile page--again like what KTBEU used to have: made for easy finding of older posts
    5. Bring back the Agent Status and location: this personalized each profile a little more
    6. Use sub-categories for each section: i.e. Film section-->QOS, CR, etc.
    7. Give the forum a better title--part of what made KTBEU great was the title. It was so Bondian! Can you picture Bond saying welcome to mi6 Community! No I didn't think so. Sorry guys. We can do better. Or...why not just keep the old name!

    Otherwise, I'm starting to like the new format. The draft feature is nice in particular.

    Oh and one more thing...please, please take into consideration the opinions of the members. I realize this is a free site and thank you guys for providing this service, but obviously the sudden change that happened turned off a lot of folks. I highly recomend implementing a lot of these suggestions in this thread to make your loyal members happy! That is all. :)>-

    1- This seems to be a firefox only issue. Try just refreshing the page?
    2- Implemented already, check ;)
    3,5,6,7 Noted, under review
    4- DIscussions button, Mine shows all your threads

    I'm awaiting a final verification to post the suggestion list, and which features are looked at now.
