Old topic was crowded so... here's a new one. As winter break is coming to an end, I probably won't be adding anything new once again...
Since launch, we have added...
- Advanced Search
- Search with much more precision than the standard interface allows.
- [Audio Only] Condensed listings
- Expands on hover!
- [Audio / THP Only]Embedded Youtube Previews
- Similar to OCRemix setup
- Youtube links will work for other hacks but they will open in another window.
- Collaboration
- Similar to crediting but...
- Collaborators can edit hacks
- Collaborators get to share the download count with the uploader.
- Collaborators are informed when edits are made.
- Collaborators must have an account on here to be listed.
- Similar to crediting but...
- Facebook Integration
- Above the vault, a facebook toggle button allows turning on and off the like button. This is optional as the iframes used to create the buttons may cause lag on lower end systems / slower connections.
- A facebook box on the stats page displays recent news and articles from our blog!
- The toggle will not take effect until after a new page is loaded. Additionally, direct links to hack pages and the stats page will always feature the like option.
- Portraits
- Profile Integration
- Find under a user's information to access their personal vault!
- Random Hack Display
- A random from the gallery is displayed atop the board selection page.
- Resource Listings
- All your hacking materials in one spot!
- RSS of new hacks
- Also available per user.
- Safe Search
- A bit of a misnomer actually. Safe search does NOT protect you from obscene hacks (we allow such material only if the previews are censored) but it does protect you from potential spam as all hacks must otherwise be approved by staff.
- Signature Generator
- Creates signature images which update dynamically!
- Write your own custom text and make use of pre-defined variables such as ByUserName, TotalDownloads, TotalHacks, and LatestHack!
- Sorting
- by Name, Date, and Downloads
- Audio sorts by Source first, then Name)
- Statistics
- See the most popular hacks and hackers! Work your way up the top contributor list!
- Updated Report System
- Displays troubled hacks in red.
- Auto-notifies creator by PM.
- Various fixes

And as you all know... I am the sole programmer for Brawl Vault; unless someone else comes in with Javascript, PHP, and SQL under their belt... all feature requests must go through me. If you want a feature added and I'm not enthusiastic about it, you better make it worth my while.
