Updating the Forums - DoYouLiftBro - 02-27-2020
Alrighty so this is going to be a suggestion for forum improvements/updates that I think could make the forums more aesthetically pleasing.
I feel like part of the forums are outdated and need to be updated to match the current state of all four servers.
For example: The "About Us" Section only lists that "we have a TTT and PH server, come visit them sometime" This could be updated to "We have a TTT, PH, DR, and a Murder server, come visit them sometime"
The Gametrackers could include all four servers, instead of just TTT and PH.
The Announcement bar could be updated with things that are going on in the community, and also need to be updated to remove very old announcements.
Those are some of the suggestions I have, if anyone else has any other suggestions they would like to add to this feel free.

Unfortunately, our original website maintenance guy, Sugam, is no longer with us. So i'm not sure if Matt may be able to do anything

Only thing I’m not sure I could do offhand is the gametracker for murder and DR. Not sure where to mess with that.

Another few minor fixes/cool things:
- The report window when reporting a post, profile or reputation appears in an unusable position
- That one PHP error that appears for new people
- Have a more obvious place for the "Missing your rank?" thread
- Whatever is happening here
- Spoiler tags would be really cool <3
- Update the ticker
- Bring back the shitshoutbox
- Potentially have the site portal as the home page
- Decrease the logo resolution so the printable pages are actually usable

I see nothing wrong with the ticker
A few of these bugs might fix if we update, need to sit with dink and Juan probably. Otherwise can dig around.
Now shoutbox is an easy one if we actually want it
Update rules for rep manipulation
Figure out the resigned admin accounts
Just another two things on the todo list

While this has no real practical purpose to change this, however... I hate how when you go to https://www.dinklebergsgmod.com/ it does an internal redirect (HTTP Code 307) to https://www.dinklebergsgmod.com/site
This would be decently difficult it fix even if you have access to the webserver this forum is hosted on and the domain registration account...

I see in the code someone at one time attempted to add a site favicon, it looks like it doesn't work because it was added in the wrong place. It's in the body instead of the head. Also should reference an internal file instead of an image hosted on imgur.
Most of the other issues I have are with the creators of MyBB....
