Ever since the move, we've lost a lot of features (dammit ChIkEn), and that's not counting when we made the transition to V3. One of them was the developers' to-do list. Now I've been wanting to contribute a little more to the site, but aside from school getting in the way, people really aren't very clear about their complaints and suggestions. So I'd like to try and dedicate a blog to this. I'm going to ask a few questions, and you can think of any bugs that need to be fixed, or any nice new features to add.
My personal ability is very limited, so don't ask me to add new features. I've been trying to add a review page for a while now and just don't have much of the knowledge. Instead, I'm better at handling features that are already in place. One example is the silly but obviously problematic nomination removal bug.So what I'd like you guys to do is come up with a few things. With every option, consider tagging it with what you personally consider its priority to be.What bugs need to be fixed?You may think this is a stupid question, but we don't all see the same things. You may use features that I don't. I'm specifically talking about things that either don't work as intended, or just flat out don't work.What pages need fixing?This kind of fits in with bugs, but on a larger scale. The to-do list is broken, for starters, and I haven't seen the bug reports page spouting information (go figure, on 64Digits, our bug reporting is bugged).What new features do you want to see?MP changes? MotM modifications? Game reviews? Media pages? What about the 64Digits RPG? While it's not in my personal power to do most of this, there are people around the site who have the skill. Let us know. While these are generally low priority in comparison to the others, maybe you'll luck out and Xemic will be bored enough to make V4.That's pretty much it for now. Please use this for site-related discussion only. Any off-topic posts will be deleted. We're trying to make this a better place to chill out at, so please be honest and reasonable.

thisanything to the site?Oh what's so wrong with derailing. At least it isn't boring. Unlike complaining about derailing.
If someone gives me access and tells me how to access the code base I'll gladly help out with a few bits and bobs here and there.

Go into f_parse.php, andmake it so that the <span> that is used for the tags has an htmlentities()'d title="[text]", so that you can hover over small text, instead of copying and pasting it into a text editor.Or clicking "edit" to view the text quickly, if you're a mod
Do you know how to go into the server's terminal via SSH? You could search that way, using Grep.
