If you could have ANYTHING you wanted here at MM...

I've had that a few times as well! Don't know how but it works sometimes and not others?

Yep, that is a cool little doodad as you edit the post.

I must say I am grateful for the news flasher "Are you dreaming"..it's kept me on target when I sign on periodically and gets me thinking.

You must be dreaming.

It seems like the newest replied to threads are not automatically moved to the top of the list, but they are flagged as new. I am currently using the Black22 skin. I'd like to have the threads with the most recent replies moved to the top of the thread list.

EDIT: hang on, I just saw this thread. I guess that's just how the skin is designed... if that's the case I'd like to have a mod done so the stickies are separated from the regular threads somehow, with a horizontal bar or something.

Whoaaa, facebook just implemented a chat thingie like we were discussing in here. If any of you have facebook, check it out! You can chat with whoever is online.. it's weird, but simple and kewl.

Would it be an idea to make a separate 'lucid dream journal' area?
Where people can make a journal only containing their lucids?
Could be a child board from the current DJ area...

I know people on DV had double DJs, one for all dreams and one for their lucids. I like reading through the lucid journals, often just before going to bed to get inspired and motivated

Rather than fragment the board any more than it already is right now, I think it would be fine for you to start a separate journal for your lucids if you wish.  Some people only record lucids in their DJs as it is.  Since a DJ is such a personal thing, you should feel free to do as you wish, and two DJs might be one of those choices.

Let's see what others have to say about this as well - that's just my opinion.  One of my concerns right now is how wild and chaotic all this must look to somebody coming in for the first time...

Plus, people like me who at the moment only manage to LD occasionally, would feel sad. :(

Hmmm an idea of mine: MM really needs a more organised staff/usergroup/rank/whatever system. I could propose one or two ideas like I did about the board organisation if you want me to.

Another thing that has already been said, by Clairity I think, is making the quote box bogger.

Third thing is: there are so many stickies out there. Some of them should really be there, for example the ones at the Town Hall that deal with different topics... But for the general board, one sticky would suffice I guess.

Btw thanks for implementing the location thing near the avatar xDD I luv it.

Do we have a chat channel set up in IRC yet? Or are we just using the current #dreamviews on DarkMyst? I'm not sure if it's needed, but if so, I could set us up a channel.

Also, the way the information to the left of our posts is laid out is kinda weird. Like we basically have two different areas for Custom Titles, but the basic title (Dreamer in my case) still sticks around. Is there any way of setting that up a bit more like vBulletin, or is that not changeable due to the forum software?

i'd like a "search thread" option or button, or is it just not in black22?  i'll have to check, but if anyone knows...

I kind of agree with MoS. I think the custom title should be set different from the other, but take my case for example: Mine shows both "Ambassador" and "Dreamer". I dont like it much that way - I believe that, once you're given a position in a group ("Ambassador"), it should substitute the regular title ("Dreamer").


I don't mind the custom thing below the avatar - it like it very much.

EDIT: You know another thing that could work? Disabling the custom title and leaving the personal message (below the avatar) only. Though I really enjoy the extra customisation, I don't see a point in it. The custom title could be used on some other purpose or whatever.

This thread is for the WILD ideas.  No holes barred, no consideration for practicality... what would be really cool?  Consider this a brainstorming thread from which new ideas may be developed or further explored.  Brainstorming rules: no criticism, no "can't do that", nothing but positive feedback.  Time to let your imagination run wild!

I would love to see a "lucidity index" - some kind of automatic tallying of the number of dreams posted and the number of them that are lucids every day and over time - so when we log on here we could see right in the header a Lucidity Index and see if it is rising or falling or whatever.  It would be fascinating to look at group statistical trends in lucidity!

43.2% Lucid and RISING!

Building on that -- I think it would be really cool to see a tallying of how the lucids are induced, like WILD or MILD or whatever. It might give people incentive to try a new method that has worked for a lot of people.

We could definitely use a real multi-quote button. When I catch up on several pages in a thread and want to respond to posts on multiple pages, well, the number of posts available to you for multi-quoting seems to be very limited so it's not the most convenient thing in the world. I end up having to do a lot of C&P'ing (or just decide it's not worth it).
