We're a week or two away from a new and improved Mudcat. Don't worry, nothing is very different, Pene and I just took all (well, most) of the suggestions over the last year or two and made functional improvements to the Mudcat. I just wanted to give you one more chance to put your two cents in so we can possibly include it into the new version. I'll try to list some of the things so not to waste time here. Pene and I will also edit this thread for efficiency.

NEW FOR MUDCAT

Much improved personal message management - Archive and Delete multiple messages, etc.

Personal Messages and Quicklinks on every page (in the banner)

No more AskSam - More powerful and efficient searching and will crash the server less.

More Permathreads in a drop down (less space) - This is in response to a great suggestion in the Elixir thread about making sense of all the wonderful data here on the cat.

Better space management and more consistent and intuitive naming of things.

Better Links section

Software upgrades to make Mudcat more reliable and faster

Auction Update (easier to use, less confusion)

Automatic formatting in Forum Messages (NO MORE BR's!!!!!!)

And we're gonna struggle to get these done in time:
Dynamic What's On
Advanced Mudcat Locator
Global Venue Listing System

And if we can raise $150 for a great chat program Pene discovered.

Hmmm... might be forgetting something. Anyhow, that's it for now. Let me know what else you greedy bastards might want. And NO, I'm not ready to go to member-only posting or IP addresses or email addresses or other GUEST deterrents at this time (I'm still thinking about that).
