The forum software is due to be updated and as I embark on this project (it can take some time) I'd like to hear if there are any features you'd like to see. Unfortunately, I won't be moving platforms so I do have some limitations on what can be done, and not done.

I also have access to developer who might be able to implement non-custom features.

Some things I've identified:

1) The search function sucks balls. This needs upgrading.
2) Content discovery is poor. There needs to be better categorization for content discovery, for example, if you want to find posts on YouTube or eCom.
3) Custom notifications on what you want notices on.
4) More options to ignore certain content.
5) Keyword notices: Get notified when keywords appear in posts.

Obviously I can listen to suggestions, but they are often dependent on the platform which the software uses, which as many of you know, I do not like.

It's a little thing, and I understand why it might not get implemented, but I would like to add a few more links to my signature.

The main reason I changed my sig is to find certain threads that I started, so if I could filter the "my content" tab to just my own threads, that would also be helpful.

I doubt there is an extension for this, but something similar to Quora where if a similar question has already been asked multiple times before, it will show them the other threads then ask them to confirm if their question is unique before posting.

I'm pretty new here but I would really appreciate a feature that would allow you to save threads or archive it in a section that you can access faster.It would help me and I'm sure it would help others too to keep a tab on interesting threads without having to search too long for them.(Not sure if this feature exists already or not)

A filter for "threads" in the user content tab.

So for example if I want to read all threads Jonny boy posted I could just choose that filter instead of going through 70 pages of Likes and responses.

A dark theme would be really cool, background color in black and font color in white, like what Youtube, Gmail, and other platforms use.

my eyes get tired when I read content with a white background color, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

would be cool to be able to switch between normal mode and dark mode.

Thanks for asking MJ.

1) Could more tags show up in the cloud below (there isn't one for YouTube for instance). And maybe they could be categorised?

2) Maybe this is a bug, but on a mobile I can't use bullet points in posts. The option is greyed out for me.

Sorry. That's just for a select few.

I think you have to post over 16,682 times or something.

When you follow someone it should notify you when they post otherwise why follow them

I don’t think people should be able to limit who views their profile, makes no sense, if I see someone post I want to be able to go and see all their other posts

Bring back the city and country location option to profiles

Bring back the rep $$ bank thing

You mean like this? There are browser extensions/addons that can achieve a dark theme.

If you don't mind sharing, what platform is this site on?

Yes, that's what I mean, like on Reddit or other websites.
I use either Chrome or Edge, if you know a good browser extension please let us know. I got some likes on my post, so I believe I'm not the only one with this issue.
The bad side of free extensions is privacy.
However we could use it, meanwhile waiting for the forum to get updated.

The fact you just discovered this is also a problem.

I used to use the forum strictly on desktop. I'm not sure when I switched, but now I use it almost exclusively on my phone.

In portrait mode, the mobile menu hides a lot of stuff. I might be easier to find stuff if all the options were open on the mobile menu for portrait mode. It took me a while to realize you could open those options up to see more of the sub menu.

Saw a meme about social media companies once that said something like "user interaction, UGC, functional code, etc. is worth millions but DARK THEME is worth billions." Pretty funny.
I love dark theme. All websites I make are built using dark themes. Anything else is too heavy on the eyes.

If at all possible, maybe people near you/state/country

Logic defies the developers of this platform.

"Big news! Our software now allows you to email your forum users!"

Wow, only 22 years late.
