Lowtax posted:If somebody here can suggest a way to organize the smilies in a logical way, that a majority of the other users agree with, I'd be more than happy to implement it. At a simple level, add tags or at least descriptions, to the smilies so we can search using the browser's text search facility  I might try to search for this using 'fat' or 'fatty' or 'hambeast' or 'meat' I'd never think to search for 'btroll'

Thirding or fourthing this, but notices when you're quoted would be a big and immediate QOL improvement. The different color system that's live now helps somewhat but you still need to keep track of any discussion you've participated in.Son of Sam-I-Am posted:There was a fairly well received post in QCS with a page a guy made. This is nice, almost anything would be better than the current very arbitrary layout.

I was wrongly called out for hating Hamburger Helper by a moderator because I voted a thread 2 by accident. I agree that the vote links are too close to the link for going back to the main forum. I'd also spend  to pick from a list of platinum icons

Lowtax posted:Thanks to our dumb and archaic system system foundation, that would likely destroy the database. The forums simply weren't built on the idea that something like that was even possible, so you're talking about each user querying essentially a forum-wide search every X seconds they're logged in. If there's a tech dude who knows of a different or feasible way to accomplish this, I'm all ears. Also if there's a tech dude that exists, I'm all ears. First, I'd make the quote notices a platinum feature, so you could use the existing PM system if needed. For the query, the forums already seem to do something like that, because they tell me how many new posts have been made in any thread I've previously clicked on. There must be some way to limit the quote query to threads that the poster has actually posted in.

Lowtax posted:That's easy enough, how much space would you / everybody else prefer to be between each number? It might be more useful if it highlighted whatever you vote with the option to remove it or pick another. You could use the current vote number list as is and add some form of highlighting if the user has voted (ex: a border around the selected option or maybe lowlight the other options). The user could then click a different vote or remove their vote. Removing the vote could either by done by clicking the current vote or maybe once a vote is selected you show an X or something to be used as a remove vote button. People will make mistakes clicking things no matter the layout, so its best to provide them a way to fix it imo.

Basically it could would work like this: If you quote someone the post is parsed the forums for bbcode and whatnot. If a quote is parsed, find the user the quote is attributed to and send them an alert or PM or mail.

you could make it so on submitting a post it looks up the user IDs of quoted user and logs in a table with the following columns: id, timestamp, thread_id, post_id, user_id, seen then you can use a small fast query on viewing the forum doing a COUNT of unseen quotes for the user and then have a page that actually displays them, on generating that page run a query to mark all of them as seen

Lowtax posted:I am not, but that's another thing I need to get my stupid rear end on; either make it the official app and link to it when you try to browse via phone, or do a lovely, half-assed job of serving a bastardized jquery version of the forums to mobile. The thing is, when I last asked, people were saying mobile wasn't a big deal and shouldn't be a priority. Granted that probably was six decades ago, but still! Either of these would be really cool; the apps don't have all the functionality of the site, and the mobile version for browsers still leaves a lot to be desired in terms of scaling and layout, at least the last time I tried it, which to be fair was probably five decades ago.

I would love a button to “Show my posts in this thread” that I can click on without having to find a post of mine first. Sometimes I’m not sure if I posted in a thread a long time ago. If this already exists and I just can’t find it because I’m a dummy feel free to let me know.

Smilie chat: cull them. Assuming you can check this, any that haven't been used in whatever time frame you want {6 months, a year, whatever) goes away. There are just too many of them, many with esoteric names, that are probably just collecting dust because they were a fad and now nobody remembers it.

Just a tiny QoL suggestion: when trying to search for something in a certain forum I'd like it if checking that forum didn't automatically check all of it subforums too. It's annoying to have to deselect the subforums you aren't interested in. Currently:   Ideal:  Basically some kind of option to toggle 'check everything' vs 'check this specific forum.'

After that fake thread about getting the mods gift cards I kind of wish there was a way to throw the mods some dough. I'm assuming it was fake and no one received Ruby Tuesday gift cards. Tipping the mods would be cool though. Also, I want a subforum that has ai bots but you clone real and current users so no one knows who's real.

for the smilie page, maybe some way to add keywords so they are easier to search? some have stupid names that don't match what the actual smilie is. like if you want this one  instead of "smug" or "scholar" it's "viggo" for some reason, and unless you knew that already you'd have to dig through the whole page to find it. when you hover over the smilie on that page a more useful caption is already there for most of them, so maybe some way to make that searchable (or even just on the page itself so I can just ctrl+F and find it that way).and/or a way to sort the smilies by popularity/last used, so the poo poo that no one ever uses is way down at the bottom

I agree with this, and also... I know this has been brought up before, but we should make an effort to make some of the backend code more community sourced. Look at what the goons can do with only visible front end code! Throw it into a repository that is invite only, invite only goons to review and comment on it. Nothing gets finalized until Lowtax gives his approval of the features/ implementation. We have a ton of computer touchers on the forums who are willing to put in time/effort to features they care about. Or at least to review code bases and give opinions on it for other coding goons. Remember that when 4ch grew too big, it was imploding until the /Unix community got involved. We also should make it volunteer and not offer any sort of reward. Every time you've invested in a coder, they've gone missing or taken a bunch of money and run off. This is usually a sign of burn out. A revolving group that gets nothing in return but the ability to help out could be really beneficial. It could also stop you from having no programming resources to talk to.
