Typically when a site gets older, some links that users contribute will go stale because a webpage simply disappears. This is very annoying!

Also, sometimes we want to keep track of which pages link to *us*. This can change quite dynamically, as more and more people may start liking this website as we keep on building.

Also, in the member profiles, people can choose their 'favorite' websites. This is a text field right now, but we would like to make this a multiple selection list with links from our linkfactory.

So, we have made a database of links. It will take a while for all the stuff to use this linkfactory instead of some of the fixed links, but a first example are the main menu tabs; By adding a link in the TW3 Menu link category, it will automatically pop into the menu.

When you view the profiles of the members, you may see a little icon when you're logged in. By clicking on this icon, you can create a message to that user.

Next time the user logs in, on any page, they will see the sender and the subject of the message right above the navigation menu. By clicking on the icon they can mark the message as read instantly, so by using the subject line only you can do very quick communications. By clicking on the icon, they can reply to the message and then also see the entire message.

Let people submit ideas or bugs.

On the profiles pages, when you're logged in you can see either a or a link. By clicking these you can mark somebody your 'friend' or 'not your friend'. Obviously this does not mean you hate somebody that's not your friend, the friend list just gets used throughout the website for communication, interest sharing etc.

The stories section is cool I think. After having had a few static stories on there for years with no updates, I think it's time we get some new contents there! Poetry is cool, fiction stories, just stories that you think are funny as all hell, just go for it and submit your contents!

When people submit contents, the contents will obviously just 'show up'.

However, as we get more and more contents, it will become difficult to find new contents without having to wade through the whole site first.

Any change or addition of contents should be logged briefly and when somebody signs in, they should get a listing of 'what changed since your last visit'. This 'what changed' link should have a link to the content editor's profile as well as a link to the actual contents.

I'm happily rambling on, implementing features left and right.

Some get implemented completely right away and don't even end up in this list of pending/completed changes. I'm a techie and I have conceivably much different opinions on 'what's cool' than other people do.

I'll make a mechanism where people can vote on changes they find cool. When a proposed change appears very popular, I promise I will have a look at it :)

Now that messaging, link adding, and a bunch more things are done, it's becoming usefull to make a 'My TW3' page which shows your own message center, a collection of your own contributions, etc. etc.

In most cases so far (and in all cases down the line), only the owner of a piece of contents can edit those contents. We don't want to start any arguments between people about which contents is 'right' and which contents is 'wrong' here.

But sometimes it is very nice to be able to comment on what somebody else has submitted. It could be that you know additional information on a deity, on an herd, a recipee, etc.
