Planning a pretty large scale refactoring in the near future. The meat of things shouldn't really change; it's more like moving the food to a better plate. So hopefully it should be quick and relatively painless, but might lead to a few days of outage--especially with my more limited time to work on things now.

I'll be moving the server this Friday, either to a new location in the same datacenter or to a new datacenter over the course of a couple days. Just FYI.

Something I found today that I want to remember to look at eventually:

I'm changing how custom avatars work so editing/viewing them might become kind of broken. Ultimately you'll probably need to reset them as well.

I'm adding some fancy resizing logic so when you set an avatar it'll automatically scale it to 200x200, 100x100, 50x50, and 25x25 sizes (ratio will remain intact). This'll allow you to more freely set avatars without size restrictions since the site will automatically resize them. And it gives me the flexibility to show them at different sizes in different places.

It's not weird or anything. Facebook and Steam both do something similar. It makes sense.

Looks like the old one. Except it works better. Huh.

Add search functionality

All HTML, etc. is in the PHP controller file now and needs to be moved to Smarty templates.

Low priority since it rarely changes and can be done directly in the database, but eventually there should be some admin screens for creating/managing forums, permissions, etc.

Add Timezone option to user accounts.
The various pages should support it already, so it's just a matter of figuring out how to provide a good list of options. Oddly that's more difficult than one would think, if doing it in a smart way.

Already hitting up a designer I worked with at my last employer. Should get some ideas back from her in the near future.
