New forum features?

[Jeff]

Hey guys, so the forum is currently on its last legs. After the promo or sooner, I want to do some spring cleaning on it to get it up to snuff. If you had your choice of any feature what would you like to see added?

My personal wishlist is this:

- upgrade forums to 3.0.6
- make sure everything works [topic reply notification, etc.]
- put "rel=nofollow" on links in posts and profiles
- give people in who have preordered an awesome custom icon

How about making it look like the old design again? IMO this design looks like crap.

[Linfosoma]

I would like a "quick reply" field, like in the Steam forums.

Also, the "save" option is kind of confusing, I would onle leave "preview" and "submit".

[Ragdollmaster]

A "Discussion" forum for serious topics/debates and the like. Right now "Randomness" encompasses everything that isn't a Wolfire game, so it can get a bit bloated sometimes...

[Armored Wolf]

Unfortunately signatures are against Wolfire policy, but if the policy were to change, I cast my vote for signatures.

And ranks.

[BlackHole]

Maybe a SSPF for all forum veterans?

On a more serious note: we need more custom bbcode. Now I've already added some using my hack (the same one that does the sigs), but I'd like to see much more.

The most important one:
[ OT ] > Offtopic tag.
Something like <span style="font-size: 8pt; line-height: 1.3em;"><b>Offtopic:</b></span> <span style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: 1em;"><i>{content}</i></span>
Results in:
Offtopic: Hehe Wolfire rocks!

The one from years ago?

Yes.

Whatever happens, I definitely want to keep the black-on-white aspect of the design. I was just reading a thread of long comments on the blog and I had to invert my screen to stop my eyes hurting.

Autosave. Lack of that just bit me.

Overgrowth styled skins?, this light blue makes me forget I'm talking about Overgrowth, maybe some temple pillars on the sides with vines and moss.

I thought it was a good idea.

I think he was laughing at you, because you post in bold. Still not very polite...
