Now that the threads been bumped...
We should hold a competition for a new banner at the top. The winner gets....Love? Maybe an avatar with one of the pictures they drew for the new banner?
But I like the 'sea' (water) theme. Yeah!

Also the site should be 500% faster for all of you, no more laggy sc2sea
General / Layout Changes
+ - Buttons have been changed to a smaller cleaner version
Module Topics now have Icons next to them to make them stand out more
Made Sidebar forums text spacing slightly smaller
sc2sea shop has a new image of a hydralisk on sale
Updated tournament navbar
Functionality Changes
Quick Quote - If you highlight text you can click on the quote word and it auto comes out in your quick reply at the bottom.
Prevent newbies from posting to wrong fourms - Newbies who have less than 5 posts will be prompted if they are sure they wanna post in that thread, to ensure they post in correct forums.
bla bla bla
New BB quote - [lquote] [/lquote] [rquote] [/rquote] That will come in useful where theres large walls of text.
image resizer - Big pictures that distort the layout are now automatically resized. no moar big pics killing esports!
post templates - Mainly for admins - writers. Will be useful for news posts which follow similar templates so they can just choose it from the list instead of having to find the previous thread and copy n paste each time.
Everyone can create and use their own private templates.
Moderators can create "shared" templates which can be used and seen by everyone. If there is no "shared" next to it it means that is your private template that no one else can see.
Coming shortly
Big announcement - integration with a popular web game
Brand new replay system (Go dox!)
Countdown timer for tournaments
"Soonish"
Our very own SEA tournament database with results fed in from our tourney brackets + ability for manual entry. want to make the site more tournament focused with a leader board for various levels which should encourage more participation (ty edge for the idea)
D3 database system to provide a one stop place for D3 players here.
Just a minor typo ' fourms' just ctrl f it should turn up.
Anw the point of my post isn't that, but regarding the new quote functionality - is there anyway to disable / provide an option to disable it? I find it quite annoying actually that everytime I highlight text a little box pops up to block me.
not sure how difficult it would be, but I think it would increase traffic to livestreams that are casting tournaments/doing events drastically if you made it possible to have the streams listed right under the event in the calander (ie: blatently the same as TeamLiquid have it on their site).
Someone who casually checks the site now and then sometimes isn't likely to check streams etc. to see if someones doing a particular event they might be interested in (there is a LOT that happens in this community on a weekly basis, something most of us who are on the pc every single night without fail might take for granted for the person that only visits here twice or three times a week).
Ie: if under events it had
"Masters cup
Stream: Benji"
and stuff like
"Bi-Weekly TteSports show
Stream: TteSports"
It's likely to get more viewers for the events, which = more interest = more sponsors = more money = more power = more women.
Competitions:
1st Place - iGoldM
2nd Place - iSilverM
3rd Place - iBronzeM
?? Ribbon - iRed
?? Ribbon - iWhite
?? Ribbon - iBlue

My thoughts on possible improvements / tweaks:
Not sure which web site you are refering to, but it would be nice to have a link in your profile to your in "sc2ranks" profile. Good for many reasons.... this could also be expanded for sc2ranks custom divisions for clans, sc2sea members, sea GMs etc. This could be used for various things... would love to have a link in the clans homepage to a sc2ranks list of all the members so you know what your ranks are...would also encourage more laddering!
An increase in subscribed threads would also be nice... given the increase functionality more subs would be good. Ie Clan Threads, ComL / Results Threads, D3 Threads... then if your lucky some threads that you would like to keep an eye on. Say from 5 to maybe 8?
Is it possible for the site to adjust its page size based on you screens resolution? It appears to be set up for widecreens so my LCD (1280 x 1024) can only fit the page in at 80% or you need to keep scrolling across to see the full page. Its a functional thing and with each thread over a page in size you need to scroll across to see the next page / last page buttons...
This ones been brought up a few times... but a little colour would be nice to freshen the site up. Nothing over powering but something that just makes it "pop" a little more without affecting the readability / eye strain. ie) TeamLiquid style
EDIT: Oh yeah.... about the "Arcade". It apears if you have had a name change the arcade posts everything under your ORIGINAL name. Changing the to accept you NEW name would be nice... also when you submit a score for one of the "arcade" games it automatically sends you back to the home page if you havent opened it in a new window... if you want to keep playing you need to go back into the arcade page and find the game again or just keep duplicating the page / tab. Anyway of redirecting you back to the games homepage or something?
These are only some ideas any by no means takes away from the medal website that it is.
There seems to be some window sizing issues on smaller screens. I haven't tested on a larger screen yet for comparison but on my 13 inch the forum windows and the right hand side widget column extend out past the borders of the background design and require scrolling to view.
It may be an issue with having fixed widths rather then dynamic ones or it could be a theme issue.

I realized that sc2sea can definitely expand into a even bigger area other than just SC2, it'd be great to involve other REALLY popular games such as DotA into this site. I know that Australians have a strong thing with DotA, so does China, Hong Kong, for LoL and DotA. It'd be great if sc2sea will look to expand over just Starcraft and... Diablo which isn't really active around here.
At the suggestion of supapower, this Chrome extension basically loads the stream list and keeps it in memory (and reformats it a bit to be a bit neater). If the stream list isn't loading on the site, this isn't going to fix that. However, if you get lucky and it manages to load once and you keep your browser open, it will remember the last successful load and tries to refresh it every 10 minutes (or when you press the Refresh link).
A lot of code shamelessly inspired by the TL stream extension. Probably a ton of Bugs too, but he does spam the chat a lot
