It seems wise to get everyone in one place making suggestions for what features they want us to look into implementing rather than the current maelstrom of chatbox shoutbox messages.
So, dig in with your requests. Naturally there will be things we won't be able to do, but we'll look into everything we can.
# LAUNDRY LIST FOR THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND FOR BLEACH GOTEI'S CUSTOM SKIN (mostly features)
## General Stuff
- Currently Logged In As box (with small-size avatar, if possible) - Two variants: Light and Dark - Semi-flat, vectory style if possible: depth to aid the user in seeing what's clickable and what isn't, but as little "omg it looks just like glass, right guys?" as possible - Posts in serif typeface by default (?) - As much focus on the content of the posts as possible--this is a site centered on writing and as such the writing should be part of the core experience. Many posts are long walls of text, make these as appealing and easy to read as possible.
## Front Page
- A hideable sidebar in which several individually collapsible modules can be placed, including, but not limited to: - - Recent Posts - - Top Ten Character List - - Staff List - - Of the Month List - - Note: the sidebar should not be present when viewing individual threads - If possible, a "mark this board as read" function when clicking on the new posts indicator for each board - Online users, recently online users, basic statistics, etc etc
## Thread View
- User information panel, should include: - - Display Name - - Custom Title - - Avatar (square!) - - Display Group (Race) - - Five numerical stats - - Application Link - - Threads Link - Pagination at top and bottom rather than following when scrolling, if possible. Static positioning of search and thread actions. - 20 posts per page? (First page OP+19) - If possible, no visible divider between posts and signatures. - Support for youtube/webm/audio embedding (pref via html5 rather than a Flash wrapper)

^ Exactly~ What I want to feature for phone version: - Switchable theme on phone - Chatbox (I sincerely hope the chat u implemented wouldn't kick me when I change tab >_> )

My plan is definitely to get a mobile optimized version, for sure. That's something I absolutely want.
The Chat software I have in mind actually runs in its own little world, so as long as you don't sign out then simply switching the tab shouldn't end your session.
Next!
I've implemented a built-in word counter right into the full post editor. You can use: % wc #
Get rid of the spaces. This will print your word count right into the post. You'll also see it in the bottom, right-hand corner of the editor.
It'll ignore, when counting, any content in code or quote tags.
