Request

Some changes I personally would like, and i think that many would agree

- Login

Every time open the site you have to login, Instead just make it login when ever you open the site like facebook or almost every other forum. You also get rid of the annoying "sight up" popup.

- Captcha

Logging in with a captcha is fine, but at least make it so you dont have to every single time, maybe once a week. Or just when signing up. There is not really any need for it once you have signed up, especially not with an active admin staff.

- Posting new topics

When you post new topics, that is either very long, or you decide to take a break to return. It will either log you out, or tell you that you do not have permission to post even when logged in, deleting the 20 minutes of text and consideration.

- Edit limit

Apperently there is a limit on how many times you can edit a post?

- "Do you want to create a poll?"

For unknow reasons 99% of the topics do not have a poll in it, so why even have that as a requirement when posting and not just as an extra feature as uploading a picture.

Hi Multinational. Thanks for the heads up. The security measures and editing issues you've bought to our attention were implemented to prevent abuse, which happens on a lot of forums (and happened here during our earliest days). I would go about it at length here, but you can google why forums have edit limits, captchas and conventional logins.

As for polling, we will look into this. We are always looking for ways to improve ShortGuyCentral. How quickly things are implemented depends of course on finances and timing. That said, tell your friends about ShortGuyCentral. The more active our community becomes, the easier it will be to make improvements to the site.

Thanks again.
