    A pegasus-unicorn is the rarest species..there are only two of them namely Celestia and Luna...

    Can you add a security question to prevent spammers? Like "who is the pony with ainbow hair?", "who is twilight's assistant?" Or something like that...

    I found a few potential flaws while glancing through this site:

    I think the Story and Episode discussion can basically fall under the same category. It may not work out with both of them.

    The Sugarcube corner could consist mainly of general media, general chat and general arts/literature. I feel there's bound to be a dead section or two [due to confusion] the way it is now.

    And this one is pretty optional, but I think the Library is a bit specific on it's subjects. Perhaps it could be combined into one section and be moved to the Carousel Boutique?

    I'll pick out more as time goes on but I feel these are the most relevant as in the long run, it'll make a big impact on the community. Good luck!

    Also, we need a place to post things about games too. I see a forum about non-pony shows and art but not games. Please add this soon, as there are a number of great games out recently that have nothing to do with ponies.

    Something minor. Is it possible to put who's in the chat down at the bottom by the "Who's Online" section in the main forum section?

    I find myself going in and out of the chat, just to see if anypony else is in there.

    This is only something small, but is a bit of a convenience. Maybe something that could be added later on in the future?

    @Pac

    Yeah that would be particularly useful, I've seen a few new members going into chat depressed since no one's coming in and possibly leaving with an impression of emptiness when just a half hour or so later a few people get on

    I apologise guys and girls I was feeling under the weather today and spent most of the day in bed: Thrashing and moaning incoherently. So suffice to say I didn't get around to implementing any of your suggestions :(

    I'll be sure to get right on them before the week is through, the forums can be done for sure and I'll investigate the probability of the whose online chat system.

    Quck question: Can Settings be moved over to the left of My Profile and be renamed User CP?

    It's just that I use the User CP a lot and I really hate the name for it in most vB4 forums. Used to be allright in vB3.

    Disclaimer: This is only my opinion.
    Looking through the forum, I feel the topics/sections are just too specific... I won't get in depth, but it's just way too specific for a site that's just starting off [or for most sites in general]. I'd wait some time before adding stickies to sections of subsections of subsections that have yet to even have a thread.

    Just curious, but couldn't you just open a new window? Although, that would be nice to have that.

    Well the idea is to make it so you don't have to open chat itself to see if anyone's there

    Thank you Grey. And about the chat thing, littlebigplanetarium has a chatroom and you don't have to go in to see who is active. It is at the bottom of the forum homepage.

    I found one modification claiming to do that but it's part of the official VB network and since all the licensing is in TWIF's name - I can't do anything to gain access to the site it's hosted on (and hence download it!).

    I looked around and found absolutely nothing of any use/help/guidelines for scratch coding it either - without which I wouldn't even know where to begin!

    So that's a no-go for now, sorry bronies :sigh:
