As the title says, this is a thread for website suggestions. As the council, we can come up with some ideas and suggestions. But in the end it are you who are using the website! (Of course we as well, but there aren't much of us!) So, why not come up with some good ideas and make this planet even cooler? There are a lot of clever and creative people on here, so why not brainstorm, share ideas and improve the website together? It's just like an 'idea box' really.
Some things I came up with earlier:
●A 'sent items' in the message system?
● What about multiple polls (and more regular updates (it would be much easier if more people would be able to update the poll...))?
● Tolkien related blog (write about things you experienced which had to do with Tolkien or which you could relate a story from Tolkien to. You just share those experiences in a thread)?
● Etcetera....!
Come on everybody, inspire each other! It can be technical suggestions (more polls) as well as suggestions about the website's content (ideas for a new poll). All are welcome.

There's one rule: You can speak your mind as long as you respect everybody and their opinions/ideas/suggestions!

I personally hate social-networking sites like Facebook with a burning passion. All the same, I understand that it would bring new people in to PT, and I think it is a good idea.

In terms of polls, yes! A new poll every two weeks or so would be so wonderful. Maybe we should start a thread for new forum topics/revive the old one.

Finally, there is that seemingly useless metal we have all been hoarding. I know it's been said a thousand times, but we need something to spend our Mithril on. I know Taz has been working on something for a long time now, I wonder when that will be finished. I can't think of anything to spend Mithril on right now, but I'll think about it and see if I can come up with something.

Another thing I just realized that's more of a technical thing than anything else is accents. Whenever I want to write an accent I have to either use the option key (only seems to work on Macs) or open a new tab and find a website that types accents for me, then copy paste. Except a lot of the times I copy paste the computer crashes. So it would be nice if that bar at the top of the box I am typing this in that has everything else on it had a little button that let me add accents.

Still trying to figure out something to do with Mithril. Haven't had any good ideas yet but I am still thinking about it.

I know I've requested this before, but how about some nicer subjects for the artwork or photos [those that appear at the top of the page I mean] instead of all these dark, evil subjects? I realize copyright is a concern but we seem to have had mostly evil for years now.

Or at least some nicer subjects along with the evil guys?

Related to my long post about 'The Children of Húrin', could we have the book added as it's own forum into the section: 'Books' ?

That shall be my only request for now.

- Oerath.

Woah. Thank you, my lady. You're as awesome as ever.

Now people, including me, can create threads there and discuss the book further and more easier than before. The Children of Húrin has plenty of interesting characters and events that are definitely worth of discussing too.

So, thank you once more, Arwen. That made my day.

Oh well, I sort of knew that would be the case, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't have thanked you too.

But ey, Taz. Thank ya!

If you might not of seen my comment on the lack of people working and helping me on the rpg War in the North, well it's just me right now, then this is were we can discuss these issues. Lord windsoul, i am thinking that if you wanted to, we can make a blast of the rpg, if you do not want to well, that's fine by me. Lady Undomiel, as the same with Windsoul, i now you are very busy with you real lives, but the same with me, i can only post now, like two times a week. I am not asking for a post everyday, but that would be extremely thoughtful of you. Only once a week and this forum will be hot once again. I have worked on this thing since Nov and it would be  a shame for it to go down.

I know this isn't a proper suggestion or anything, but.. Here I go anyway.

If 'The Wanderer's Tavern' ever gets popular, could I be granted moderating rights for the thread. I know it's not a necessity, since I already moderate two threads, which I've been trying to keep alive. (Not going to give up on either one.)

So I am very thankful to you guys for letting me moderate those two threads. I love this site very much and I wish I would've stayed back in 2006, and I wish it wouldn't have taken me nearly four years to find my way back..

I regret those two things a lot. But ever since my return, a lot of good things have happened. I've evolved as a writer, as a person, I've become an active poetic contributor, I've been granted moderating rights to two threads and most of all, I've befriended many good people. This includes all members of the site. You're all good folk in my eyes.

This site, this forum, it's truly unlike any other. And I don't know have I told this before, but I've always felt very honored to be a part of the PT family.

Oh man, now it's all said then.

It was a bug, that was only showing members from the 2012-13. I have added Oerath as a mod.

I am going to make a list of locations that could be added to this wonderful realm, starting now:

·         Minas Tirith
·         Dol Amroth
·         Pelagir
·         Westfold
·         Dale
·         Esgaroth
·         Fornost

I told Taz about it. So, it'll be updated soon.

New polls... yes!

Sorry that it took so long. :/

Could we get some more font tools? We've got the bold and italic, but I was thinking something to color the font too, an underline tool, and maybe something to change the size too. Basically the stuff that's in Microsoft Word. Sorry for the lack of tact ;-) I'm not very good at that.

Recently the pony has stopped working very well. It occasionally will not open, and when I click on it it just does the green circle thing. Additionally, today it disappeared entirely and I could not even click on it. Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

Hey, Taz, slight probemo, just want to know why you banned me from the Pony, just to find out what i said. Please don't get wrathful just explain.

Hey Amras, I forgot to ask you, did the Pony just disappear for you? That happened to me two days ago, which was weird. Maybe both of us were banned accidentally/for a specific reason that isn't because one of us violated the ruled, but Taz was only aware that I was banned and so only unbanned me, thus leaving you banned and wondering why. 

Over the past days I gave been thinking hard on a new idea for forums and the "search. ’ Microphone sound would be excellent and useful, especially for me, because I never have enough time to post longer threads. This could be advantageous, but it would also have to be seriously perfected, because it would be hard for it to decipher Thuringwethil! Also it might just "slow up,’ and the don't forget punctuations, Curufinwe would be very angry. Hope you take this into consideration, Amras

It looked like the chat just wasn't working well but everything is fine again now. ;-) (For me at least...)

Sometimes, if a person just closes the PT window but doesn't log out, the login status remains. Perhaps this is what has happened. 

Is there gonne be a new chat? I miss it. I haven't been much online lately (and I'm really sad to see others haven't been either)...but it's not the time to talk about that now. I hope to be able to get this site alive again....I miss you guys.

Thank you!

Something should be done about the paragraph problem when used on phones. I always end up with one big long paragraph. I purposely tried to make this into two separate paragraphs.

I don't think this is an easy thing to change. I can make a short list of useful html basics if anyone wants.

This brings me to another thing: quoting!

I can use the quote button in the text editor. But it would be really useful if there would be a quote button next to the bottom/top of page button which links to the text editor with the text from that post quoted. 

PT currently isn't mobile friendly and I will address that with Two Trees. For now, I would appreciate suggestions on how the forum can be improved to encourage people to register and reply in old and new threads etc.
