SuprBay: A few Suggestions

[SS_Link]

Where did editing profiles? I miss having that. Being able to have a block of text you could edit was nice. The only option to edit profile now is just the email. Are there any plans of full editing returning?

Also I could of sworn there was custom BBcode before that let you embed mp3s to playback. It was [mp3][/mp3] I think. Will that be making a return appearence as well? And if it can't come back in the regular forums because people would abuse it for random nonsense, could it just come back for Void?

And I do remember there being a way to be "hidden" on the forum so it wouldn't say you were on. I miss that as well.

The only removed field that was ever displayed outside of profile pages is the signature.

There's a whole thread about that here:  https://pirates-forum.org/Thread-Signatures

The MP3 thing never came back with SB 2.0 and in the 16 months since, you are the first to mention it.  Given that we already have a few music threads where embedding YouTube videos is the method used, I'm not convinced we need another way to embed media.  We'll see if there is any other demand.

There was never a way to be "hidden".  There was an option to hide your name from the "who's online" list, but that didn't do anything for any of the other indicators spread around the forum.  So we removed it, since it was misleading.

As far as signatures go for people who don't like viewing them there could be an option to disable them from displaying in User Control Panel. Bots abusing them for spam could perhaps be solved with something like this for whenever people decide to update their signature? And the same could be used on editing profiles. (the one I linked to is just a example, with that revised one I read elsewhere it uses ip address info to determine if someone is a bot or not, I assume there's a similar one that exists that isn't as privacy invading yet still useful?)

The mp3 embed option was helpful so if you don't want giant boxes taking up space when you're scrolling in a music thread. And muting music & taking down videos is far too common on Youtube.

As far as being hidden from the "who's online" list goes the only obvious sign I was aware of was if you posted something.
