Cant wait till this 'snarkpower' goodness is realeased; you'll have ub3r l337 h4x0rs jumping on you from all over the phpbb security forums.
It could be one of those suggestions that would boost snarkpit into the upper echlons of awesome. Or what have you. Anyway...
[ google ] bbcode. [/ google ]
Although it might result in any support request being replied to with:
However, it might be a quicker, and more simple way of telling people where to go.

i think "site suggestions/bugs" should be disqualified as "most popular" thread
especially since my site bug thread was knocked out of the running by a certain owner ![]()
if i recall it was "is it to early..."
*whispers*
i have been working my movie thread up through the ranks for months now.. and its nearly pure to boot.

In viewprofile.php, or whatever; get the current logged in username, and write it to the database, make a table something like this?;
tbl_snarkpit_profilehits
username hit1 hit2 hit3 hit4 hit5
ding pleb1 pleb3 pleb7 pleb99 pleb3
then just shuffle the usernames acros the hit rows...?

I know that everyone else is probably a lot less paranoid than me, but that would creep me out, I'd feel like I was being watched all the time. (the information in the whos online box also makes me uncomfortable, its like people are reading over my shoulder).
Also, if that feature was implemented, you'd probably get constant bored newbies PMing with stuff like "what do uthink of me, I see yoo looked at my profile I am from england and have 2 dogs" etc. etc.
Personally, I would like to be able to set an 'invisible' mode, so that people don't know what particular page I'm looking at.

Lep: Almost as bad as cookies.
However;Code:
//Rip all the hits from the table
$hit1 = $userdata["username"];
$hit2 = $row["hit1"];
$hit3 = $row["hit2"];
$hit4 = $row["hit3"];
$hit5 = $row["hit4"];
echo "profile hits" . $hit1 . $hit2 . $hit3 . $hit4, $hit5;
//Write the $hit# variables to the database.

with the massive influx of new people has also resulted in a massive influx of tutorials. some have proved informative, some not. many have been very poorly implemented as well, and as such are not as desirable as the better worded/constructed counterparts.
we need to either be more stringent in our accepting of tutorial, or we need to send them back for tweaking. creating a monstrosity that involves almost 1 full megs of screen shots is not acceptable. how it could slip though the crack is unknown, but closer inspection must be enforced.
poorly worded, or vague ideas are also not a choice, and should be returned for better results.
if the members are to utilize this resource, it must be with the very least amount of trouble necessary to illustrate an informative tutorial. tutorials cannot always be short, but they must be concise, or as concise as the topic will allow.
if the people responsible for the authorization of these tutorials is not able to check them fully due to time constraints, or whatever real life may be, perhaps some sort of a voting system can be implemented where a tutorial can be more closely monitored by the users. if a tutorial receives enough legitimate complaints, it is removed.
legitimate does not mean 10 complaints of the same problem, it can also mean 10 different complaints all of one each. as long as each complaint is real, and not just bad relations with members personalities. this would eliminate the retaliatory attempts from the members whom had to rewrite their tutorial.
the present authorization procedure is allowing poor examples to slip though and needs to be addressed, before the pile gets to big to sift through. before long, the problem will be so intimidating that only course of action, will be no action at all, and this is entirely unacceptable.
/ 2 cents.

Yes I agree some recently are crap and I'm loathe to auth them, but I figure if they are that bad they'll be badly rated by the masses- you've already got a voting system!- and delete them if they don't go down well.
Unfortunately though there haven't been many decent tutorials being written recently, but I'd hope over the next few weeks all the old masters who've finished off their (potential) competition entries will crawl out of their caves ![]()

Some kind of reporting system is a good idea though.
