I like disabling it whenever I log out, so I can re-enable when I want to if I'm on a computer on which it works.
Well when logging out it's a different box that appears anyway, so it won't make much of a difference.

Happybobjr good idea, although Idk if it would require modification. Bigger icons could work too I guess.

Also I wonder if we should make the total rating not visible on topic view and just via profiles? It might partially discourage people from making a big thing about their rating, such as "woohoo 100 respect!!!". Not that it's so bad, but it could encourage some newer members to boast about theirs. It might still be nice to see somewhere how much someone got, though.

The other idea would be that when someone gets rated down, it logs it then if he gets a bunch of downvotings, he automatically gets warned via PM. It would need to limit the amount of PMs to 1 per day though.

I mean that way when I log in from a different computer on which I don't want Omnom enabled, it won't be when the page loads.

Oh ok. Keep in mind Omnom is cookie-based, though, so while you disable it on a computer, it won't necessarily disable it on every computer.

THe private section sorting is broken: Topics aren,t sorted by latest reply date, so it might get confusing when it gets populated with lots of topics.

And Idk what links, other than Revsoft link in the links section, are broken. Could you state which ones?

Thank you for adding the "+" and "-" buttons to the section for adding replies!  This makes it easier for me to type in a huge reply.  It used to be that my text box would violently scroll up and down if I was typing a long reply.

Hmm weird, in what browser did that happen? ???

Also I like how the +- buttons appears in the SMF articles mod too. Makes it much easier to edit huge pages there (the ones that I created).

A few suggestions:

-Remove the gap between the Select all/Copy links and the CODE box
-Switch back to Courier new for the CODE blocks (monospaced)

Would it be possible to put that in the signature-edit box (Profile → Forum Profile Information) as well?  :D  Or does it only work for the post-writing page..

I think it'S for post writing pages.

Also front page improvements suggestion:

-Make the affiliate links open a new window
-A Google+ button to follow the new Omni google+ page.

[necro]
I wonder... should an admin add a word filter that censors http://www.omnimaga.org and http://omnimaga.org back to the http equivalent? I'm kinda worried this might annoy people in the future if people start using https in image tags by mistake.
Done. :)  (For the record, DJ's post said https, not http, and the censoring changed it. :) )
Could the reverse be done for SSL, so links work there?  As it is one has to copy/paste/edit every link if http is blocked (ie school)  D:

Wow, I wasn't really sure that the topic was here, and I think I've created some topics in the past about things that could be improved.
Just one small thing I guess, the view attachments of a topic option has to be viewed by going up one level to the respective board. It'd be good if there was some button within the topic that allowed direct viewing of this feature. Perhaps it could be added to the Reply |New Topic | Post New Poll | Notify |Mark Unread etc buttons.

Oh, that's fine. The Site Feedback and Questions forum is for topics with suggestions for Omnimaga. This topic is here to get more responses :)
