The 2019 Forum Improvement Suggestion Thread

[Anorion]

Hello
First of all, welcome to our new mods, @Cyberghost and @Desmond David
@ico is back from semi retirement as well.
Also, thanks to @whitestar_999 and @Vyom for their umm... vigilance and dedication

spammers beware!

Another year, and we will continue to try and make things interesting around here.

Apart from that, you know what to do.

 

[Desmond]

Animated avatars when?

Also, the New Posts block on the left side of the homepage says "<thread_creator's_name> replied" instead of "<last_replying_user's_name> replied". Needs fix or perhaps remove the block altogether?

 

[Cyberghost]

• How about adding mandatory Introduction rule for newcomers.
• Gold/Points system and shop to purchase items like glowing usernames,signature,new themes,class promotions etc

 

[whitestar_999]

^^Mandatory intro rule won't achieve much except for one additional spam/spam-like post.That new posts block issue is there for a long time now & I think it requires tinkering with xenforo addons/CP settings which only @Raaabo & @Anorion have access to. I think priority should be given to google captcha/general question(something like Kashmir is part of which country,Sachin plays which game etc) which should stop spam from Pakistani IPs & some foreign IPs too.

My thoughts exactly. The intro post itself will be spam lol. Can we not blanket ban IPs in the 39.x.x.x range?

Improve emoticon/smiley system. It's not worth using currently IMO.

Isn't there a way to remove xenForo from top left?

The headings are smaller than sub-headings. People post a lot of other buying advice stuff in Mobile buying advice sub-section. Maybe just keep the heading in a bigger font & remove the description (or something else that's visually better & easy to catch).

..and new themes!!

 

[meetdilip]

New themes, of course

Congrats to new mods

 

[Anorion]

Thanks for the inputs, keep em coming

Before the 10-post moderation for Newbies, Spam posts were under the limit to a certain extent - now its over the roof.

I never knew there was a dark theme, my bad.

Yes it's blue always sky blue for me.
I think OP have been abducted by some ETs which have experimented on him because of which he is seeing in different colours other than those displayed here.

I didn't know about the dark mode...

It is good but the red (maroon) font needs to be a bit lighter shade.
