Don't you think it would be prudent to fix current problems before considering adding enhancements that aren't necessary to the smooth operation of the board?
People are still being locked out for no reason. Some can't log in at all, some can't post even if they can log in. Some are being asked to log in every time even when their settings specify "remember me".
The board lags badly for a lot of members. It's not their cable, dial up or anything else on their side because this site is the only one that gives them trouble. Additionally the amount of people experiencing lag makes it evident that your new servers are not capable of handling the bandwith demanded by the additional graphics and cumbersome software. Allowing the uploading of videos and storage of photos and widgets would only slow down page loading even more for those already experiencing problems.
And what's the deal lately with the"temporary problem processing your request" error that everyone's been getting? Shouldn't you fix that before considering new features?
Do some things need to be improved? Oh yes definitely. We asked for several things when this new software came online, (few of which were implemented, fewer read and responded to). The most requested being the date of the original post showing on the thread list page (a request that was ignored or if not ignored then never granted). But that's not my point. My point is until the bugs are worked out of this as it is, the last thing we need is more features that will make the site run worse than it already does.

Yes, I know I am a btch. I have been a btch all my life. I am good at it, it takes very little effort on my part, and I am used to it. Applying the same reasoning to you, I cannot understand your offence at being called stupid.
