Instant notification when someone responds to your post. Maybe a pegasus flies across the screen. Doesn't have to be a pegasus. That's just what I'm into. It could any animal really. Maybe you could choose from a selection of animals, and they could say things like "Oh no he didn't" or "OMG drama bomb."

Also a tech board.

Why not just a little bubble or ticker on the bottom of the page?

It would be cool to have an icon or something that appears next to a thread you posted in when someone responds to you.

PM system.


I was against it before but it would be a nice "bell and whistle" feature to add.

Posters could have the option to disable it if desired as well.

This.

Also, thread titles and user names within the actual threads shouldn't be underlined. It looks much cleaner (load the mobile site for evidence of this...).

The listing of message boards on the left needs to be organized. For example, the "Sports" tab would include the Tiger Rant, LSU Recruiting board, MSB, etc, while the "Entertainment" tab would include the OT, Music Board, Movie/TV board, etc. Each tab should be expandable and collapsable based on the user's preferences. The SEC Rant has a half implemented version of this.

Finally, the aesthetics need to be updated. The SEC Rant received a complete overhaul with respect to the design paradigm. TD would benefit from a similar design enhancement. For example, many non-LSU fans frequent this site, either to discuss the Saints, IM others on the OT, or debate about a recent item of legislation on PT - yet the "post reply" and "request admin" buttons at the bottom of each post still employ a purple and gold color scheme. It just seems like there are a lot of little design enhancements that could be made that would make the site cleaner.

Yes it does. If it's not a pegasus, I send it back.

This. So many threads about computer builds and the like on the "gaming" board. It really could be its own subforum.

OP next to a thread starter whenever they reply in a thread they started...it gets frustrating when you're on page 60 and have to go back to remind yourself who started the thread, then come back to where you left off

I'm on board with a tech board.

I also want a military board.

A PM system would also be useful.

There were a number of oddball, clunky things I noticed when I first got here, but I'm used to them now.

Lack of a PM function is still kinda odd since every board has had it since 1995.

Just keep the ads form infiltrating my computer and it'worth the cost of the premium membership.
