What do you think? What could be better? What's confusing? Should we be making other sub-forums or is this enough?

I think it feels too Discord-like in design, as if these are real-time rather than something where you pace yourself.

it should show who created a thread before you click on it

you should be able to edit your posts, and reply to posts with quotes

It would be cool if you added some way to make text formatting with some shortcuts or with markdowns just like in discord or in wiki.

It would also be cool if you added reactions on messages

I feel the same way, that it feels like a chatroom, but I also like that. The most important thing to me is that we have a searchable, indexable forum where context is maintained, and history is preserved.

This is a bit silly, but I was curious if you could you add a button to make the text editor a floating popout window so we can move it around/expand it on its own? my eyesight pretty bad now and I have to zoom in pretty frequently. Would be a compliment to that.

Also, obviously not super important but, It would be awesome if we could use markdown to write threads? maybe the pandoc style markdown?

Edit and quotes are definitely on the cards.

Markdown/bbcode - no. Don't see any reason for this.

Reactions, maybe.

Forum thread/post history on profile maybe? It can be useful when searching for stuff

it's also kinda weird that the "last read" line just goes to the bottom of all messages instead of disappearing when you read all of the messages in a thread 

Request list:

Also allow us to subscribe to threads so we get notifications for replies

Ability to mark a thread as read
Ability to mark all posts as read

oww trundler has some good ideas 

show gamer score

Thumbnails for posts if they contain images

how would that work?

Similar to reddit maybe

Feels so cluttered with just double ups of the same/irrelevant information.

Remove the whole middle column, 95% of it is just listing the exact same threads that are already shown in the main window aside from a new thread button, move new thread button into the main window, probably where all the dead space is in the top right, this would give us 15% of our screen back.

Having the sbox -> Forums -> General feels irrelevant as well. There are no sub categories (at the moment anyway) so you can already see what category you're in via the sidebar, clicking Forums just takes you back to General, and clicking sbox is the same as clicking the logo in the top left. Having some kind of sort by new/unread/popular/etc. would probably be a better use of this space. Could then throw the forum category in the middle of the new thread and the sort field.

In terms of suggestions, adding tags to threads that are visible from the thread view and also searchable would be good, while letting OPs update them as needed (particularly if they make a question thread which is later answered, they can update the tag to answered). Would allow for easier filtering for people wanting to provide help as well as just finer categorization without further cluttering or adding new columns to the UI.  A few suggestions of possible tags might be:

Ability to see number of replies since last read would be nice too.

Shit example below

Personally any kind of avatar or profile customization or reactions/ratings I couldn't give a shit about - so long as the forum posts are organized and readable.

Deleting replies and threads (or even locking) would be nice to indicate it's outdated/incorrect/answered, even if the content is still available. 

Editing replies and threads (in a non-reply way like it is now) is a definite must.

wow fishy some Idea!!!👍

Also I have no clue what these numbers indicate?

Would be nice to add a little dot next to the numbers to indicate new replies to commented threads or something? I guess once I know what the numbers are supposed to mean it might help though.

Broke my edit chain :(

Oh nevermind it appears there already is one so ignore this one.

If I could edit or delete my original message it'd be easier.

i think it's a bit redundant to have the list of threads displayed twice.

EXIF wipe test

whoops, don't upload phone pics people, it keeps exif data including gps

would be nice to show forum on the main nav bar next to documentation and api reference

it is as important if active

The only way I am able to see if a thread is locked is if I go into it and scroll down to the reply section - needs some kind of visual indicator from even before I click on the thread (and maybe even a visual indicator while you're in the thread?)

Anyway we could get a list of threads I've made and/or participated in profile? Makes it easier to follow them topics and access information 

Set up link tags automatically when a link is detected in a post

Quotes should have a little extra spacing or a slightly different background colour, imo
