Awesome.
Very minor things here, just thought I'd try to help out.
I noticed the right-aligned text doesn't work. at least in the signature.
A preview of your signature would be awesome, instead of submitting, then going to the forums, finding a post, and going back and editing.
Aaaaand the only other thing that really isn't big, is when posting a new topic or reply, is that page necessary?

Other than that, everything seems great! =D

This is nothing big at all, but if there were a way to "View all games" rather than only sorted by console, that would be great. Everything is working very smoothly otherwise.

These are all good ideas, I'll try to add as many as I can today. I'm liking the feedback guys, please keep it coming.

Yeah, that redirect page needs to go if possible : )

One other minor thing...when I am browsing the games section and I click on a new platform from the drop down menu, it doesn't change anything. It still shows the same seven games all the time.

I do believe these are some features that are still in the works, and that it is just a rough draft up for now. Although so far, it looks like a very nice rough draft =P.
And yes, suggestions are always good.

I am finding a problem that involves replying to inbox PMs...It simply won't send the message, or at least it doesn't show that it is sent. Very minor, but I thought it should be noted.

Actually. Speaking of PMs. Seeing two unread, but not seeing them? =S haha

Can you add friends? And I noticed with the private messages it doesn't autosuggest which friend you want to send a message to. You have to type it out.

Changed: PM inbox bug should be fixed, you can now browse via platform and letter (simultaneously), and all of the BBCode works except for the code tags.
To add: browse all games, preview signature, autosuggest username on compose PM page. I can get rid of the new reply redirection, but the new topic one will be tricky. I'll see what I can do.

Sam, I actually have friends lists uploaded already, but I was going to wait until there were more members so it would actually serve a purpose haha. And you nailed it right on the head Mitch. A lot of the site's components are still being completed.

More modern post editor. In general, IP.Board runs circles around many of the forum features here. Specifically today's post editors are like RTF editors except even a bit more advanced.

"The topic was successfully created."
Instead of a redirection/infobox page, just go straight to the newly-created topic. I would apply this more generally, except for a few special cases where the message is critical to user communication.

^ Nothing on these forum category pages.

It's 2012, passwords should include special characters.

Avatars: looks like it's having trouble updating but I can't find the cause. Should allow .png as well. Maybe server downsize of larger uploaded avatars.

I can't seem to navigate to page 3, which means my replies are invisible! That's a problem. Also, after posting it should redirect to the last page and an anchor to the new post.

- I'm going to revamp this post editor a bit, but for the most part it does its job. It's nice and fast, and not over-complicated. IP.Board is nice, but it's also very heavy and over-presents itself (at least in my opinion). I'll definitely try for some improvements though, and have a few in mind already. If you have any ideas as well, let me know.
- I'm planning on removing the redirection page, just a matter of priorities at the moment. I've mostly been working on the game index lately.
- Was waiting to do the forum category page until I finished the appearance of the forum index/view forum page, since that design will translate directly to the category page. I suppose I could finally do that now.
- Not sure what you mean with the passwords. Password strength is up to the user, not me.
- Avatar uploads - along with many other features on the site - are still in development. I completed most of it on my localhost, just a matter of finishing it now.

Sorry about not seeing your posts, I had a per-page limit set but no pagination! I'll start working on that tonight. Thanks a lot for your suggestions, I hope to see more. :)

I meant that passwords should include !@#$%^&*();. etc.

Logging out you can still see links to the user profile, control panel, etc. until you are redirected.

I noticed that when trying to edit a past thread post, when you click "edit," it fails to do so and brings you back to the home screen.
