Here are some suggestions.

Remove the options at the bottom of threads to share to websites that no one uses anymore, or no longer exist, for example MySpace, Digg, Stumbleupon

New smilies - For example more emojis ( and are welcome additions but it would be good for them to be included on the smilie list rather than having to type them out). Small images of popular housemates would also be cute, for example :Nikki: or :Makosi:

A button to embed tweets, would just make life easier.

A better social media presence to attract new members, and therefore more discussion. I'm sure a lot of members on here would be up for running the twitter account etc which would share links popular topics and threads on the forum to attract BB fans.

A new design? There are some talented graphic designers on here so surely a new skin competition or something could be held to make the forum look more modern? However I do understand it probably would take a lot of time and effort to implement

Other members feel free to add any thoughts below x

I agree with everything except small images of housemates.

This would definitely be abused and would get annoying very fast.

Ok but what are people’s thoughts on everything else?

I just had a look at the TiBB twitter and all it seems to do is use a bot to post random daily pics of BB19? Surely it could be better utilised than that? I would legit be happy to help run the account as it’s relevant to my uni course and would look cute on my CV etc

I think I can add the Tweet embed button.

Okay, that sounds fine. As long as it's used in the right way.

Might be time to retire the random pictures, haha. That series finished two years ago.

Thanks! The tweet button will come in very handy x

I agree with the tweet embedding button.

That’s a shout actually

This all sounds like a utopia VBulletin could never support... and there isn't anyone investing in upgrading this place. Sorry, but I think that's the reality.

A lot of stuff can be done in the Vbulletin system I think

Vbcode is actually very flexible BUT also a stubborn bastard. You really have to wrestle it into submission and it is a Labour of love... My vBulletin 4.0 forum was heavily customised... but it massively increases general maintenance requirements.

That said, there's nothing in the suggestions in the first post that wouldn't be pretty easy to do in vb.

You do have to watch for script bloat though, too much script will slow the forum to a crawl unless you have a dedicated server or very good cloud hosting.

I'm going to take a punt and assume that TiBB is running on shared . She has her moments already on stock vb .

That's debatable

No disrespect to whoever implements changes (Mark?) but I think they gave up a long time ago sadly.

I don't believe Mark has done anything for years, James is the main one who's kept the site functioning the last few years

This is the other half of the problem. VBulletin aside, the people with the controls don't care to do it... or give up the controls.

[Smithy]

Agree with everything apart from the small housemates images

Also thing the homepage needs a redesign, it looks crap noah fence

[Smithy]

Marsh design some new icons too pet, the old ones are v dated

[Smithy]

I actually think all the emojis are available but they’re all numbered and it’s impossible to know which is which

:emoji22:

That used to be the code for them
