I'd love to use the forums more, but there's a few things that prevent me, personally, from browsing them regularly, so I figured I'd make a list of things I think the forums could benefit from.
- 1. An updated text editor
for some reason whenever text is edited with html, it either doesn't show up initially, or just evaporates from the post and doesn't work at all. I have to rely on the editor to do what i need to, and its honestly a little restrictive in what i can do, as I really prefer to just use html to see and edit everything at once. This makes it really frustrating to make good looking or cohesive forum posts. While making this, I also discovered that the numbered/bulleted list feature in the editor does not work.
2. Post Preview
Instead of banking on the text editor to get it right the first time, we should be able to preview a post to make sure its right before submitting
3. ti
tle Editing
Would be helpful for Trade/Sales forum.
4. Post Self Deletion
Its kind of weird we have to ask for forum posts to be deleted, or just waste someones time by leaving the post up and deleting the contents.
This saves everyone some time.
4. Tagging/Pinging
I know the forums haven't been updated in a minute, but its honestly a little strange that rescreatu forums dont have this feature yet. Would love to see it though, as subscribing to posts is sort of cumborsome if you just want a response from one person.
5. A quick place to find your own forum posts.
Self explanatory. I should be able to look back on my own posts quickly.
- 6. Smaller posts?? I dont know
This is super personal, I know, but reading through a forum thread is a mission, the posts are very big. I know the HA and avatar have to fit, so im not sure how it'd work, but I figured id put this in the air.
