With the new school year I believe DW deserves a new look. Over the years, the coding for the header table has gotten messy. It no longer has a nice neat divider line look. I think we should update that.
Character forms need updating too so there's better information. They should be a little longer too but without putting stress on members.
I also think we should all push ourselves this year to not post one-liners. Occasionally it's okay but it's been let slide a lot lately. x3 I've been guilty of it mostly.
DW also needs a new button. The old one's coding is broken. Banners would be cool too.
A lot of the site skins are a mess too. I think we should hold a contest or something. The creativity contest was a bust so maybe an official DW image contest or something?
The un-used clans need to be cleaned up too if they're still there, (Sunclan, waterclan, etc.) and I should get to work on putting up a little more of the Silverwing terra since only Kunai's cave is there.
Members have already been cleaned out from Nalia's activity checks so that isn't a problem...
Oh and the playlist thing was a flop x3 I may make one and just put it on the general board's header or something so there's music for optional things and members can get their own for RPing so there's nothing distracting playing.
SUGGESTIONS FOR ANYTHING ELSE?

I'm only amateur-ish at coding, so I doubt I could do much with the header table. But I reckon I could have a go at the button. And try not to post one-liners. xDD
As for suggestions, maybe we should jiggle the order of the boards around a little to make us seem more organized? Not the RP boards, just some of the general ones maybe?

Not a bad idea. *nods* I think that'd be good. I'm also thinking we should delete the character creation section and start it over with the new forms in place. Then the active members can put up their bios without issues and have them be all sorted nicely. Plus we can fix the order.
x3 Nice suggestion Venus, I'll bear it in mind.

That's sounds good. Plus the news header kind of needs updating. xD I may go and have a look at the coding - won't change anything, but I'll see what I can work out. *nodnod* I think we could add a little more info to the header maybe?
And news skins would be awesome! ^.^

Yeah we could give it a better intro for ourselves. x3 News fader is definately out of date! I'll handle that... hmm. Seems we have need for a to-do list on the staff board? It'd help us keep organized on who's doing what and suggestions could just be modded into the post.

To do:
Spruce up board header
Update newsfader- Fury Delete/remake character section Rewrite character forms- Fury (maybe with Serrion's help?)
Delete unnecessary boards- Fury Delete and remake General board to clear it New button- Venus New skins- Fury (with help please!) New banners Add to known territories (Silverwings particularly)- Fury (with help for clans belonging to others)

Rewriting character forms would be hard, considering everyone has their own characters.

Well I know... but the form itself would be changed. People would just have to refill them out... Not liking that so much though. *sighs* We DO need more detailed characters forms so new people don't go insane by making like nine dragons... but at the same time I don't want to make all the staff rewrite their applications.

What we need is a thread just for people joining the site. Rules, what they should avoid, site no-noes

Just thought I'd update this as a sort of pre/post-Christmas tackle of the stuff we need to do on the site. Updated version of the to-do list with some new suggestions given, and an incentive for me to get off my lazy arse and do some work on banners or something. xD To do: [/u] Order the board header - better lines, neater, delete unnecessary stuff. Anyone with any coding experience could take a look, as I'm only amateurish at best. -Fury Delete/remake character section - has this been done already? *is confused* - Fury reorganized it Rewrite character forms - Up to individuals Delete and remake General board to clear it - and again, done already? Wow, I need to pay more attention. >.< done New skins New banners Add to known territories (Silverwings particularly) - Fury (with help for clans belonging to others) Possible board for newbies - rules, introductions, etc?- Fury (the site Do Not Dos, rules, etc.)[/center] Those were all the outstanding suggestions that were put forward by staff peeps - some may have been done, but because of my oblivious approach to everything, I'm not sure what's been done and what's not. :S So yeah. This next list is some random muse-ish suggestions that I came up with while perusing the board one Sunday night. Yep. For all I know, most of these are unnecessary/irrelevant/rubbish, so other admins, feel free to totally ignore them if necessary. xD But thought I'd post them anyway to see what you all thought: ~ Maybe we can help to tidy up the main page by making more use of sub-boards? E.g, making one big registration board and putting the other boards inside it? Same with the possible newbies thing? The downside of that one is that everything is less clear though, and as I'm typing this I'm beginning to think it's better as it is. xD ~ Possibility of rewriting/editing the descriptions of some of place boards? Or that could just be me being a perfectionist. ^^ ~ Maybe the Admin section can be condensed into sub-boards? Even though my earlier suggestion was a bit rubbish, I think that with the admin boards we could split them into Admin discussion and Admin RP...? Or something like that. xD Yeah, this was all I could come up with. Feel free to shoot me down if and where necessary. ^.~ EDIT: Also, I'm working on a few skins for the site and hope to have at least one up before I go, so hope that's all right.

Sounds really good Venus! ^^ I agree with the vast majority of it... The main dragon form has been replaced but as for everything else it needs to be done

It looks like a majority of the things on the "To Do" list have been done. Is there anything else you guys think we need to revision?

Not at the moment, but I'm sure this place could use improvements some way or another. ^^

*agrees* We'll be able to think up some new changes at some point, I'm sure. Especially since summer is looming. <3
