Yes it would happen, because changes I have made implanted new features.

That wouldn't necissarily happen, would it?

Sure, if I could remember what all I changed, and if you want me to take out a bunch of features i put in.

Isn't it then possible to simply go back into the php and undo what you did, to fix the bugs?

I'll probably need to make a collection of URLs in a .txt file then

Aye, well to be honest it is kinda annoying not having quick access to topics you've posted in, without scanning the whole site. I suppose there's not much you can do then?

Thanks

It does matter, because if too many emails are sent from a singe hosting account they suspect it is sending spam messages out.

It shouldn't matter too much though cuz you have the Email Notification option in the Profile section, so I don't think they'd notice
Oh, I like the Welcoming message in your sig!

I disabled watch topics because the forum will send out too many emails, and my host will not like it.

Aye that looks like vBulletin to me.
One thing I have noticed is when I click 'view your posts' it brings up the search, and not 'my posts' like other php forums. Que?

Yeah, that's a problem for me too. I've clicked to Watch a topic, but it doesn't really do anything. I still can't keep track of it!

Another bug. Thats what happens when I tampered with the php a little too much, I change something somewhere, and something doesn't work somewhere else.

Thats what happened with the quote bug problem.

The administration reads all comments in the site suggestions.

The thing is, we run phpbb 2 on spyroforum. That screenshot looks like vBulliten.

vBulliten is a paid commercial forum software. phpbb is free.

There are mods for phpbb for a usercp, but I think that complicates things for newer members.

'User CP'

On most forums I'm a part of, there exists a User CP page which is your personal home page for when you log in. I was wondering if this page will ever be available here on the SpyroForums in the future? This is the page I'm talking about:

I just find forums so much easier to navigate with this page. I like keeping track of Subscribed Threads easily and have gotten used to this easy and simple way of tracking them. I don't like having to look through absolutely every forum on here just to remember which threads I've posted on and to see if anyone's responded to my posts. I currently have Email Notifications enabled, but I find forums much better if I don't have E-notifications enabled. That way I know the updates when I log in won't be what I expect, which is the case with E-notifications.

I do hope the forum Admins are reading this. Of course, I like making things easy for myself but I really think other users on here would benefit from a simpler way of tracking threads. It may encourage them to be on here more often too! I really like these forums but get easily confused when navigating, so simplifying them a bit would be very encouraging
