Forum feature requests and Ideas

PLEASE make it so selecting "mark as read" in the unread topics menu doesnt also mark every topic in the forum read? I keep messing up and losing my list because the "unread since last visit" is always the default and if theres just one or two i go for the mark as read button and lose all of it :(

Soooo this is something that I'm prob not going to work on myself (im just not interested in mobile); but if someone wants to sit down and CSS mod the mobile them to create a dark mode version (basically inverting all the colour rules) - thats a totally do-able project for most novice web devs (and a good learning project) - it would take an afternoon, and if the CSS is solid and works well. I'd be very happy to add it in as an official switch

Not directly related to the forum, but I was wondering if it'd be possible to add SVG support to the Art Gallery (for vector art)?
While its not difficult to convert SVGs to PNGs, supporting SVGs directly would mean higher quality and less file size.

Im looking into this! I was able to make some good progress However all of the art hub code is designed around the idea of an image having a fixed width and height, naturally because an SVG has no width and height, there's quite a bit of work to do to adapt things

Im not 100% sure what you mean here since the unread topics list always shows all unread forum topics (I think) and there is no way to filter it down or select topics to mark? - I did at least relabel the buttons is they make a bit more sense!

The "unread topics" list only shows the most recent unread topics, and emptying that list instead brings you to the "all unread topics on the forum" list, but clicking "mark all read" clears both lists

I seeee (this is not a feature I use) ~ I updated the buttons to better reflect this so they should be harder to mistakenly click (you'll need to do a cache clear to see them)

I would like to see a abillity to jump to the first unread post in a thread.

I know phpBB has such feature where you click a link, and it brings you to the last unread post in said thread.

I'm missing out on quite a few replies now.

If you navigate to the "Unread Topics" page, there's a "New!" icon next to each thread. You can click the "New" icon specifically, and it will take you to the newest unread topic in that thread. I use it constantly!

[Loebas]

Welp. That does the trick, thank you

Im unsure if this is already a feature, but I would LOVE a "random topics/thread" button. Sometimes I come on and im a bit lost as to where to go, and I really wanna post and contribute to the forum more. A button taking you to a random thread would be a really cool way of taking me to random discussions that I can read and engage in!

[Melooon]

A button taking you to a random thread would be a really cool

At the top of the main theme you'll find a row of buttons "Unread Topics | Unread Replies | My Stuff | Random Topic | Recent Posts" - the "Random Topic" is the one you want

Thats a good reminder though that I do need to standardise these buttons across all themes since they are not always consistent

[Phoenix]

Ohhhh wow I didnt know that was a thing!

Will definitely be using that! Hopefully can engage in more discussions c:

pls pls PLS add escargot/nina to the list of socials for your profile.. i was surprised to not see it there !!

[MediocreMetastasis]

I not sure how easy you can implement this but I think letting guilds add other guilds as an ally or enemy would be cool.
Maybe also adding the guild's crest you're in on your side profile on a post, but I can see how it would be annoying if someone is in like 10 guilds so maybe make it a horizontal scroll frame.
I feel like implementing these would make people more interested in the guild feature.
