Zoboa is never short of ideas. It seems like he always has something he wants me to implement, alter, or fix. Don't worry Z, I'm not complaining. Usually I just forget most the things he says because they're usually more effort than I am willing to put in at the moment. However, right now I'm in the mood to get some stuff done here at XboxAmerica.

Now would be an excellent time to suggest something if you have an idea for XboxAmerica.

Here's a list of ideas, or things to fix that I can think of.

If you have any suggestions on those ideas, or your own idea, please, tell us.

Is just in posts and article comments okay with you? I tried to do that for the whole site when I was designing it but it didn't look right.

It doesn't matter much, but I have updated articles and news urls, as pertaining to the 4th idea from the top of the list.

The list of news is now
http://xboxamerica.com/news

The list of articles is now
http://xboxamerica.com/articles

A news article link is now
http://xboxamerica.com/news/1/Article-Name-Here

A article link is now
http://xboxamerica.com/articles/1/Article-Name-Here

The advantages of this are that the urls 'look' prettier than filename.php?abunch=13&ofidnumbers=2942. Search engines will index the articles better too. The only problem with them is that they're a little difficult to set up, because it confuses a lot of other links on the site. I usually have to rewrite a whole lot of links, or come up with a few complex patterns to redirect the links.

Can we get the members list back? I know the leaderboard has a list of the members, but I liked having the old list too where it was sorted by posts and seniority.

I'm a little reluctant to put it back up on the top navigation, but oh well. It should be back up there a few minutes after this post.
