I made this list about things that definitely should be here. These are the functions that I call essential functions of the old Asta. I'm sure I forgot something, so if anyone wants to add something, feel free to do so :)1. View posts since last visit2. View your posts3. Images next to forums/threads/requests/releases (new posts, locked, etc.)4. Board statistics (number of registered users, who is online, etc.)5. Signature under a post/comment (can be chosen to show or not show) you have your SIG shown in profile. sigs prevent from reading threads and are a good instrument for spammers if it is shown in every post. your personal profile is the best place to present your SIG6. Code tag and selection of smilies astacut implemented. smiles implemented7. Quote button next to a users post8. Edit button9. Report post button it is this mark : !10. Thanks button you have +/- that allows you to express yourself much wider than a usual thank. thank = "+"11. Quicker access for sending a PM it is the mark just right side of the users name12. Post count and thanks count these are your Karmas, read FAQ how it is calculated. it is more complicated than a usual post counter and tells much more about yor behaviour on the forum13. Show 1, 2, 3 on the bottom of a thread/request/release if more than 1 page (when viewing the forum sections, not the thread/request/release itself).14. Thread/Release/Request that receives a new reply moves to the top15. Always accessible Home button It is Board link
16. Selection of Auto-Login17. Possibility to see who made the last post in a thread/release/request18. Sentbox and Savebox PM folders
19. Selection of font sizes and colors in the Reply box20. Preview button21. Link on the main menu to User CP - you can click on your avatar on top-right corner to enter UserCP22. When clicking on a + / - the page should automatically refresh // Not necessary23. When I already gave a + / - they should disappear from that Thread/Request/Release/Comment that will overload the server. very difficult feature technically. as soon as we tune the project and it becomes very fast you will not find it a problem
24. Astapower and Karma should be seen better (e.g next to user name)
- added -25. Possibility to edit topic's title26. Add the "hidden block" to the post, so we can post mirrors Astacut operator forver
27. Search results should be listed according to subforum or category (e.g books, music, videos)28. Show more threads/releases/requests on one page (vertically - so that we can scroll down to see more) set to 2029. PNG,GIF support for profile images we use automatic resize system that allows you not to care about upload image sizes so it doesn`t accept gifs and png, sorry
30. It should be easier to distinguish between Astapower and Karma icons31. Show who created a release/request/thread under the topic name
32. Removal of the GFX Request section - not needed as we have the Request bits within the main sections33. Delete Post button34. Fixing of the "Upload your photo"(/avatar) feature // Probably a user's issue35. Instead of having spaces in the URL (which appear as %20) use dashes, underscore or use topic numbers like on the old forum. done. spaces are replaced automatically to underscores
36. + / - should be bigger (Or make them clickable buttons)
37. Clickable navigation path should be given on top to return back to where you want to be38. Member status bar under a member's name39. Star Counter you got karma - stars are not planned at the moment, it is a feature of phpBB40. Organize the Text section by book categories (Fiction, Non Fiction, Other Text) no need for a PDF section.
41. Have a password recovery option for those who have forgotten the e-mail they registered with.42. Possibility to edit signature done43. See who gave you a + / - no need at all. it may prevent some members to express a fair opinion. and the second - will load server too much to store and to show it44. An Introduction Forum in the General (NOT General Talks) section45. Change the "Anime/Hentai" section to just "Anime" changed
46. Some way of showing that there is a new post in your Team sections. E.g, show a little icon next to the "teams" button if there is a new post in a thr__TEXT IS TOO BIG. IT WAS TRUNCATED TO 5000 SYMBOLS

When you click on the "Fresh Downloads" link - at the bottom - you can filter which sections you'd like to view...
Reason: I'm not particularly interested in Romantic Fiction and that usually takes up over 3/4 of the latest releases on that page. You can't move onto page two/three/four etc. but I'd prefer just to see the latest releases from two or three categories I choose.
Hope that made sense - developer(s) pm me if you need further clarification please.
There used to be something like that, though it wasn't very accurate.

I like to say I like this idea very much especially as the Miscellaneous tag under Text section keep getting misused for other uploads as well.
ETA: Hmm I have no idea why the quotes not showing up properly
Sending a PM to person who starts thread
I don't know if I'm just missing it, or don't know what I'm looking for, but I can't find any button or link to PM the person who starts any thread. The thing is, I have found myself wanting to PM the uploader of two releases lately, and I had to search their names to get a 'send pm' link for them. Clicking their profile didn't work, as they had it disabled.
Replies to a thread have pm next to the name.
Is it just me?
Is there a simpler way to do this?
Yeah - did that, too. Considering it would be cleaner and easier to message people about releases, especially, rather than posting in the thread. I would think someone would have thought of this before me. This could also explain why people post 'thank you' spam in the post instead of PMing the releaser - they can't find the PM link, because there isn't one. A noob would be utterly at a loss.
I don't know how hard it would be to set a PM link on the first post - that's something only the coders would know, but I know that if they did it would make things a lot easier on us.
Mods or board coders??

One other feature I'd like to see, when you choose to view new posts since last visit it would be nice to have it separated into categories. The main thing I come here for is ebooks, so it would be nice just to see new posts just in that category.
First lets get some terminology straight. When I say a URL I mean the pattern of characters that point to somewhere online (ie. www.google.com). A Link is a piece of text that when clicked on will take you to a URL (ie. astatalk.com). Trusted domains are astatalk.com, photoserver.ws, downtown.vc, etc.
Astatalk should automatically turn URLs into Links and enforce the hotlinking rules.
If the URL points to a trusted domain then the URL will be turned into a Link. Like so:
http://astatalk.com/thread/48/1/
Else the link is turned into a hidden link. Like so:
Please login or register to download
or
Use alternative full direct 100Mbit download
If the URL is within an img tag and not from a trusted domain it should be replaced with an error image.
it is better if there's an option for the search result like sort by
"latest (not by the date of the last who comment), rating, name of the releaser etc...
there's no problem if like you got a 30-100 in the search result but if goes to a 300-1000..AHHHH!
