Re: Post your ideas for the forum / board here.
Didn't read the whole thread. Is there a way to show who the op is and the last poster?

Nother one. Not sure if possible. Didn't see it in my profile options. Can you implement an optional (only) language filter? I see that **** is censored but fucking is not. I get that some people think it hurts their user experience. So let those people opt out and let everyone else cuss like a sailor.

That would be pretty cool. Currently not available. I censored **** as kind of a joke and have never gone back and removed it.

Not quite sure I understand. Those are both prominently displayed on the forum thread list. Are you referring to inside each post?
Agree
Excellent point. Have seen the same thing happen in hiking circles. A major hiking board that I used to frequent got way too over-modded so 3 posters got together and started a new board the first week of Dec 2013. For weeks a majority of the posts were bashing the old board which just made it a no fun place to visit.Duke Silver wrote:I think this board needs to tone down on the rcmb hate. If this place is to be succesfull and last it needs to have its own identity other than the anti-rcmb.

Ah, ok, it only shows last person who posted on mobile. It will be a few days before I see it at a regular computer.

Give it some time. Much like hiking in the winter, what else are we supposed to talk about right now in the dead season of MSU sports? Baseball just got beat up by IU but otherwise there is nothing going on in MSU sports right now. The Spring Game should help as should more users coming on board.

Re: Post your ideas for the forum / board here.
Some ideas:
- Get rid of the 'confirmation' page if possible. OTPT mentioned it and the feature is arbitrary. Just send us to our post.
- Align the threads in the middle of the page. Everything is left-aligned and a little hard on the eyes. A nice, clean look would have the threads and replies in the middle with space on either side.
- Notifications need some changing, if possible with the software. They should tell you A) if someone liked your post or B) if someone quoted a post you made or C) if someone sent you a PM.
- Possible color change unique to each user. I'm on a forum for another site and you can customize colors to your own liking, so we could use different shades of greens and whites (or even blues and purples if we wanted to). Just a suggestion because I think this site could look bolder.

Just noticed, when I quote, the curser starts before the quote so when I start typing without paying attention, I post before the quoted text. Any way to make it start after the quote?

Re: Post your ideas for the forum / board here.
Sorry if this sounds silly, but is there a way to make it more obvious in a thread that you have posted in, and when it's been posted after yours? I know it's there, but it's not very obvious. Just wondering if it could be most distinct.
Also, I edited in my preferences about not getting emails when I post something, but I'm still getting the emails anyway. How do I make it stop?

Look for this symbol to the left/right of each thread subject line.
If the image is on the left, that means there is a new post, and clicking it will take you to the next unread post; the image on the right takes you to the last post in thread.

Also, the thread icon turns red. Can it get more distinct than that?

How about a whole board dedicated to Robert J. Sakimano?

Do it in the Notifications tab in your profile also.

It the official MSU font (Californian & Gotham). We can certainly go sans serif.

Switched to Helvetica. Gotham didn't seem to work.

Is there anyway to hide signatures or can that be implemented? While I don't mind them when I am using the board at home, at work it would be one less thing to worry about plus makes it easier to read the board slightly incognito.

Why can't users see how many times their own posts have been 'liked'?

Re: Post your ideas for the forum / board here.
This suggestion may be deemed radical by some, but I think we shouldn't ban Nucky when he inevitably makes an account over here and says stupid shit (if he hasn't already). I know that spotting Nucky is a fun activity for some, but honestly it can be a little annoying trying to decide whether a new poster is Nucky or not. I say we let him keep one profile and that way we always know it's him, and those who enjoy saying "**** off Nucky" can still do so.

1 Nucky, yes. 187 Nuckies, no. I'll even make the Nucky username available for him.

Bump because I think this got missed, I can't return to the first unread post, it always goes to the end of the thread and I have to back up.

1. You have to be logged in with cookies enabled.
2. The icon must be yellow. If it's white, there are no new posts to read. The thread icon will also be red, not green.

The ability to shut off sigs/avatars would be nice.

There's Stylish code for the sigs in the sig poll thread OP. I'll work up some Stylish for avatars.

I would like to see a ticket marketplace board. I enjoyed that on the old board, before it got overrun with spam of course.

Thanks! (And I see now that images in sigs have been disabled, which I think is a good choice too)

Re: Post your ideas for the forum / board here.
Is there a way to have (from left to right):
Thread title, who started the thread, posts, views. I know tRCMB does it like that but most forums do anyway. It's easier to read, less jumbled. Just a thought.
