Dara Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I know its early days and that most of this stuff is in the works but figured I'd throw it up regardless (avoiding bed, that all) Change the background colour of the text boxes when selected, currently they are the same as the post section background. Just looks a bit odd. Add buttons to Bold, underline, italic, links, quote, insert image, video, bullet points, numbered points, source code, spoiler and so on. Also maybe stuff like font colour, size, type and so on. I think the offtopic section should be a Category of its own with gaming, tech and maybe some other stuff in there to keep us entertained Please do not add in any more negative "like" things at the bottom of posts. I used a forum that had a tonne of them (namely facepunch) and its the worst thing ever. Breeds such negativity and bullying Some sort of easy distinction between staff, what I assume will be moderators at some stage and normal users. Preferably something up with the name and picture Also I would recommend changing the time limit on editing posts (well at least I assume that is what it is, will know more in 30 mins and maybe change it for a time stamp denoting when it was last edited. Will allow people to create guides and tutorials and also guides and so on that will change over time. Basically any reference thread I'll add more when my brain is more awake, its 2am here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logang Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I agree with changing the background color of text box but if it doesn't happen I won't rage quit. Buttons would be cool I think this forum will be a great place for us to kill time until TLD alpha testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinterland Raphael van Lierop Posted October 24, 2013 Hinterland Share Posted October 24, 2013 Thanks for the suggestions, Dara. We'll have a look. In terms of not adding more negative Reactions in the bottom -- we've actually disabled most of them altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logang Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I didn't know if it would work or not, decided to try it before I made a suggestion and subsequently a fool out of myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeshia Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Some sort of easy distinction between staff, what I assume will be moderators at some stage and normal users. Preferably something up with the name and picture Some sort of special thing for backers, assuming this will one day be full of people who aren't/weren't would be nice - I know we have badges but since they don't show up when we're posting a border or something around our picture or little icon would be nice. I also agree with the rich text addition to the posting box, it makes longer posts easier to format without sitting here coding all the HTML myself. As for the little "reaction" and social icons on the bottom of comments, I really wish this was static and not a mouseover effect. For long threads in the future, it's easier to scan catch posts I might want to read that have higher like/awesome counts and I don't want to have to mouse over to see them.

brendan_meyer Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Is there an edit option in here I am not seeing? It would be nice to make changes to comments sometimes. ie - @Dara mentioning the lack of country name in the 'Supporting From' discussion and me not being able to edit.

logang Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Yes you can edit comments, if you hover over your comment there is a gear icon in the top right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan_meyer Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Yes you can edit comments, if you hover over your comment there is a gear icon in the top right. I can do it on my most recent comment, but the gear icon isn't popping up for previous ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logang Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 hmm, it pops up for me, perhaps try a different browser for now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetroKoro Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I would love to have a badge under my profile pic in the posts. Not all of them, but if you could just pick one you'd want to show. Also, it would be helpful to see "new posts" -indicator on the left-side categories list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kessa Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Honestly, we're already identified as the group "backers." But the badge idea would be icing on the cake, so to speak. I think the new posts on the left would clutter the forum. You can click into each sub forum to see that there are new posts in that particular discussion. Loving the static bottom display. I like being able to see what folks like and think is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan_meyer Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 @Pablo - I still can't edit older posts. Using Chrome in Windows XP. When I look at the edit it looks like I now have 4 hours to make edits. Didn't get back in that much time. Should be good from now forward and if not, then I can just post a new comment if necessary.

Kessa Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Oh. It's only static on my mobile app. >< Also - can we have a floating button to get back to the top of a discussion for quicker access to the rest of the forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dara Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'd actually like to see the automated signing out of the forum optional as I have a tendency to leave my machine on at home and be doing 15 things at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing, I'd like to see it extended. I hate having to sign back into things every 30 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Reba Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Another vote for removing auto-sign-out or changing it to something like a month. Also, a pre-emptive vote against changing the forum to a dark colour scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
