Chief Delphi Website Suggestions?

[logank013]

I've been on Chief Delphi for a little over a year now and have thought about making this thread for a while. I've looked for a thread like this but was unable to find it. I'm going to ask this one question:

In regards to the design of the Chief Delphi Website, what changes would you make (if they are possible or not)?

I have no idea how websites are run so I'm not sure if any of the changes that we would suggest are actually able to be implemented. I'm going to start off the list and we'll see how it goes.

1. Make reputation a number- this would make reputation actually mean something to veteran members who have filled bars. Obviously, many people would still not care about rep but it'd be interesting to see the reputation number rather than 11 bars.

2. Mark Thread Read Button- on the portal page, there is an option to mark all threads read. Sometimes, I want to mark a thread read because I want to stay updated on the new posts in the thread and don't really care about the old posts but don't want to visit all the pages to make the thread title not bolded.

3. Reputation Notifications- I'm not really driven by reputation but always find it interesting when I get new rep. Every once in a while, someone will also make a legit comment using the neutral rep button so it isn't a PM or a public post. I also would like to see those as soon as possible. So just like PM notifications, if a notification box could just pop up when new rep is received and would link the user to their user cp page, that'd be great.

EDIT 1: 4. Unlimited Neutral Rep- Neutral rep lets me comment on a post in private without it being a PM. Unfortunately, you can only give rep to the same person a second time after giving rep to 15 more people before the second rep.

Please add to this list. Just another side note, this isn't to talk bad about CD. CD is amazing and the moderators are great. These are just meant to be ideas that could add to CD and make it even better.
