Forum feature requests and Ideas

Adding per-user settings is a suuppeerrr big job and I try to avoid it at all costs However I set a global height limit of 250px on all signatures, after that they will become scroll boxes ^^

HAH fair enough, thanks though!

Some indication to tell you if the forum chat is offline, or if an admin cleared the chat.

I think making the forum a webapp on mobile would be a great and easy addition to make. As of right now, if you add the forum to your home screen (whether on android or iOS), it ends up as a bookmark instead.

This can be easily fixed by adding the <meta> tag in the forum’s header as said by the stack overflow link I linked above.

Edit: Suggestion added!!!!

I would really like to see an option to globally turn on notifications for quotes or comments in the Art Hub. And the ability to have them turned on by default.

I'd also like the notifications to show up on the site, not just in my e-mail inbox.

Currently, in order to turn on comment notifications for my pieces, I have to edit the art pieces after uploading (the option doesn't appear during the upload process). I usually forget to do this. Plus I don't think quotes on other people's pieces even give me notifications, so if I comment on someone's art and they reply I have no idea unless I check manually, and the conversation just dies.

I often forget to check my e-mail or the notifications get buried so I have no idea when people post comments on my own art, either.

I really love the Art Hub but I think the way the notification system works currently is stifling potential discussions we could be having over there.

I agree with these assessments, the forum notifications should tie into the art hub better and e-mail comments notices should be on by default - I will work on making these edits! Thank you for the request!

Perhaps disable this message for forum games and stuff?

Also, let's also have it show how many characters you typed in a forum post, and how many you need to type in order for the message to go away, and I guess the character limit, should the forum have one.

I have a theme request and idea called Ochannel (Japanese: Oちゃんねる, and the O stands for Ozwomp), inspired by the look and layout of [auto redacted]nel (2ちゃんねる), also known as 2ch, an Japanese forum and textboard site.

The font it'll use is Arial, or the system's default sans-serif font available.

Its a cute idea! But I don't want to be associated with [auto redacted]nel (or any other chan). Some emotes from there are used here because they are cute, but the site itself I believe is known to be nel#Far-right_nationalism_and_anti-Korean_hate_speech]quite unpleasant, and thats really the opposite of what Id like this forum to be

These seem like good ideas, I will put them on the list!

quite unpleasant

Σ(ﾟдﾟ)！

Maybe instead a Wii-inspired theme called Miilonland (portmanteau of Mii and Melonland) using elements of the Wii Menu like the buttons and it would have that music that plays on the Wii Menu, and the cursor could be the Wii hand cursor

You could also borrow some elements from Pictochat and the Nintendo DS Menu too
(I like the look of [auto redacted]nel and its AA characters and Shift_JIS art as well as the works involving their characters and creations, but not its unpleasantness, as you said)

Custom emojis?

I really wanna add these as a custom emoji, but there is no convenient way on doing this. 



Will you add the option to upload emojis (for yourself), when you are a 3 star members? (At least 100 posts)

[foxkehfan2328]

Speaking of emojis, I've suggested emojis to be swapped for SoftBank's emoji set (for example, 😃 becomes ) as SoftBank was one of the Japanese mobile phone companies including au by KDDI and NTT's Docomo to have their own emoji designs. Believe it or not, they heavily influenced Apple's early emoji designs which were originally meant to be compatible with SoftBank's set.

Since the softbank set has been discontinued for years + there have been more emojis added since, it would be nice to make new softbank-style versions of the post-softbank emojis, if you know what I mean.

Because there are TWO wap pages in the forum, you should be able to pick at least which one you wanna pick.

Brief Mock Up.


Oh yeah, you should also be able to access the wap page via mobile, should your mobile phones service being slow.

Since WAP sites are good for bad services. :P




and the link to the modern mobile interface on the bottom too, why not?
