if anyone wants to put in just bump, it won't let them

also, the filters need to be put back on, I just found that out with my fustration to bump my trade topic

Nah, I gotta disagree...the character limit cuts down on a lot of just "rofl" and "bump" posts - which is a good thing. C'mon, it's only 10 characters. If you gotta bump just do "Bump :rofl:"

and we need the ability to edit the titles to threads after posting them.

And we need the ability to look at all of the topics that we have posted in ourselves.

You can get to that through your profile, but it was easier before with the direct link to "View Your Posts".

The custom rank field is too short for some as well.

fuck needs to be fixed also

other than that, i'm loving the new set-up...the lay-out and colors are great...their are a few things that i'll need to get used to, but nothing i won't want to get used to

Actually you can see your posts by clicking on "User CP" at the top. The threads you post in you are subscribed to.

I have no problem with a 10 character minimum. If you can't type a message with at least 10 characters, then you need help.

Rank limitations need to be longer, but I think post limitations are fine. Like WSB said, just say "Bump :rofl:"

...bump...

Edit: It's not that hard to post 10 characters. Hell, I post at a forum that has a 40 character limit to weed out the idiot posts. It mostly works.

I like the new set up, I'll gladly trade bump and :lol: posts to be able to say fuck.

a character limitation has nothing to do with stopping idiot posts. most of the idiots here can easily type more than 10 characters.

I just do not want to have to type extra stuff just for the sake of bumping my trade topic

I wasn't saying that 10 posts would stop it, I'm talking about another forum that has a higher limitation.

Take it as a way to innovate on your bumping methods. ;)

Well you dont need to bump it all the time. If nobody wants things initally, it doesnt need to be bumped. cmon 10 characters dude. Hell, "characters" is a 10 character word

if nobody wants things initially just means that the right person was not on at that time. Some people have very specific wants or uncommon items not everyone would be interested in. I bumped my Saturn trade thread quite a few times before I got a pending trade, and I have two people I need to send cash quotes to.

6) Users (with 1000+) can edit their title in User CP (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45307)

So there you go.

i dont think so...i think once you hit 1000 posts, that textbox appears in your profile for you to use...

I really like the new layout. The only thing I miss from the old form is the pictures of the games when people posted links. Is there anyway to bring that back?
