    1. Remove the GM tags in chat

      The added [GM] tags next to names in chat look ugly and out of place. Keep them in the user side-bar, but there's no need for a GM to be reminding everyone that they're a GM with every post -- and if they're going to, at least make the tag less unsightly.

          • Give us 24 hours to change names on characters, in the MV and in forum roleplay

            This is just because sometimes I misspell my characters name, and would like the option to correct it, if it happens. Or I noticed that I have used the same first name as a last name, and think its sort of silly. This option would also be great just in case you get into a roleplay and after making you character you don't like the name you used. However the option would only be open before you actually posted on the board.

            • Give a notification when people post in or request to join an RP you're in

              When someone posts in your RP, it should give you a notification like it does when you have a new PM. Same with when someone requests to join your RP, or posts OOC in it, etc.

              • Make a cellphone version site

                It'll be a great help if you guy can make this site more easy to access using mobile phone. It's not like I can't access it using my phone...it's just the data is too big for my phone to handle and thus resulting in a lag. If it's accessible with phone without annoying lag, a lot of people can always checking their story using their phone anywhere (like when drinking with coffee in starbuck or waiting for bus)

                • Clarify and simplify the romance/"adult" RP rules.

                  The phrasing regarding romance RPs and "adult content" has changed several times, but one thing hasn't - it's always been vague and, for the past few revisions, arbitrarily prohibitive. Kissing is listed as an adult action, for example, yet it's a staple of every Disney princess movie, and I would hardly consider that adult. Yet, I don't know whether my character could give another any sort of a kiss - no matter how chaste - or not if there weren't 5 posts separating the initial post from the reaction post. The rules post just says "kissing." You also note “no… more

                  • Correct the timing issue between somebody posting in a forum and when you get the notification.

                    I have had multiple notifications stay at "[RP NAME] So_and_so posted in [Place]. about 0 seconds ago »", when the actual post had been made up to 6 hours prior to the notification. It stays like this even after leaving and returning to the page. This is irritating and should be fixed.

                    • Bring back mandatory conscription to RPA based on complaints

                      I have recently learned about the history of RPA and believe that mandatory conscription to RPA based on user complaints would be extremely beneficial to the site and community.

                      • Return the ability to use block capitals in chat

                        Not only can we no longer use acronyms or the :D face, there are times when caps convey a totally different emotion to bold (which they are now replaced with) such as excitement - bold is all grrrr angry.

                        So in that eloquent fashion, yes. Caps back? Pretty please? :)

                              This is a problem with the caching of the browser. When your browser loads a page, it tends to store images into a cache so that when you revisit a webpage again, it loads things faster. When changing a cached image (anywhere, not just on our site), the browser will typically continue to display the old cached image.

                              Generally, hitting ctrl-f5 will update the cache for that page and the new image will begin to display. (Sometimes I have to do this twice).

                                  Make a section in the Add New Role play tab that you can nominate other people to be GM's of the role play that you created by typing their name into the box, like entering a tag, so that they can approve characters, and edit the role play for you when you're gone. They should receive a message once you nominate them, asking them if they would like to accept, and then they could accept or deny it. You would then get a message telling you whether they accepted or denied it.

                                    This is currently available via the /addGameMaster command in the console (chat) for the owner of the roleplay only. We will add a more user-friendly version soon, so I’m flagging this as “started”.

                                  • Alter the UI for the bar above the roleplay tab that replaces the top part of the forum with the same sub-options as the main forum

                                    The black bar above the RP tab that follows you as you scroll is an alright idea in theory, but you can't access things like private messages, characters or 'my roleplays' without clicking on 'account', 'roleplay' etc. and navigating from there. This is a step backwards from the easy-to use tabs on the main site.

                                      Already part of the plan! We’re using the “special” header as a pilot for the rest of the site and just haven’t finished the menu we originally wanted. We’ll get there as soon as we can!

                                      If you add an option to refresh the thread WITHOUT destroying the work someone has just done, you can allow them to revise their work BEFORE posting.

                                        This competition should be held every few weeks, each time judged by a different person or people. Lots of writers on RPG just want to get feedback and recognition for their work. The competition could cost a dollar or two, that way RPG gets funds from it and people get feedback for just a small amount of money. I've been a member of RPG for years, and I only ever saw one competition that didn't get much attention and died off due to inactivity. Every entry should get a paragraph of feedback, positive criticism and praise mixed together so it's… more

                                        • Give us a Method of Reacquiring Previously Abandoned Characters

                                          Back a long time ago, we were limited to 15 Characters.

                                          However, with all the changes since then, we have no limits. It's now disheartening to not be able to recover those characters we abandoned in the past due to space limitation. I have several past characters I want to revise, and it'd be nice if I can get many of those back. I'm sure several here would agree.

                                            Instead of Just the Top Few.

                                            Some of us have characters we're particularly proud of, and we might want to show them off, not the characters unfinished or without a solid profile. A way to choose would be nice, and add more customization to our profiles.
