If there are going to be future changes on voting multiple points, this can be ignored but the whole confirmation of the like is a pain in the butt.

Ah, got another one now that we got chain quotes going on. I don't know coding but the whole quoting code is doing the old fashioned email chain of sub-quote after sub-quote. I think I'm describing this terribly...when a quote of a quote is made, the original quote on top of the response being quoted is there. So if chain responses occur, the post will get super long/potentially hard to keep track of. I assume a quick fix is to make sure only the current post gets quoted. Speaking of which, how hard is it to have the click and drag quote option? I'm already jumping ahead to the long discussions, but even now not having the convenience of just selecting a part of a post to quote seems like a lifesaver rather than manually editing the quote.

How about some more themes? Not to, hmm, "throw shade" at the current one, but I find it rather gloomy. How about a bright pink theme to liven up my retina? I'll make it myself if you'd like.

Regarding multiple quotes, I think the whole hiding the previous quotes and showing only the latest one is achievable, however it needs to be properly thought as sometimes Is necessary to see the quote chain, I'll see if I can limit it or add an option to ONLY quote the latest post. For the drag and drop quotes I don't think the system would support something like that, might be built at some point but as it's a lot of work it can't be our top priority, I'll add it in the future releases backlog tho, so I can at least have a better look at it.. > If there are going to be future changes on voting multiple points, this can be ignored but the whole confirmation of the like is a pain in the butt. I agree with this one. Make it so "Marking All As Read" thingy won't give us prompt as well when we do. It give me a : Don't think I understand, you want that when you click on 'view all notifications' it automatically marks them all as read? If so I am not sure it's something that can be done easily but for now I can make it all less painless, as on mobile I noticed is not the best : > How about some more themes?

> Ah, got another one now that we got chain quotes going on. I don't know coding but the whole quoting code is doing the old fashioned email chain of sub-quote after sub-quote... I get this one, me thinks. It's a lot of text to add and removing some parts of the quote is pretty time consuming when it's already so long. > ...but even now not having the convenience of just selecting a part of a post to quote seems like a lifesaver rather than manually editing the quote. Yes! Please bring this back, just like how we used to from the old one. This makes quoting easier and faster. > How about some more themes?

If so I am not sure it's something that can be done easily but for now I can make it all less painless, as on mobile I noticed is not the best : Me prolly did not explain it properly too, huh? When you receive 2 or more notifications from the same thread (i.e; someone quoted you on the same thread and 2 peeps upvoted your post), you tend to not click them all anymore and just click the ones you intend to reply to or something leaving the others "unread" which makes you use the "Mark All Read" option on the notification dropdown menu. Brings me to my smol concern whether if we can remove/disregard this part (info prompt) and just be done with it. Like, yes, you did it! No need to tell me. A very smol thing, but whatever if it's impossible. Also, yes. It does go away on its own, but wouldn't it be better if it does not exist in the first place instead? Here's the image:

Ok seiryu , regarding the "Quote only a part of the message", is it ok if when you select a bit of the text it'll popup with a "quote" button and you can just quote that little part of text there?

It does go away on its own, but wouldn't it be better if it does not exist in the first place instead So KapteynG basically those are the options i can work with: - When opening the dropdown automatically mark all as read and doesn't prompt you with the "You've marked all the notification as read" popup - Make a more available "tick to mark as read" button on each notification that just removes the ping Let me know which one you prefer and i'll work on it

I know this one if for me, but this will be so much appreciated. > - When opening the dropdown automatically mark all as read and doesn't prompt you with the "You've marked all the notification as read" popup This one would be ideal, but clicking the notification dropdown hopefully won't necessarily mark all notifications as read, would just remove the RED ALERT notification beside the bell button. Does that make sense? I hope it does.

riofriz

hopefully won't necessarily mark all notifications as read, would just remove the RED ALERT notification beside the bell button I can't remove the bell unless the notifications have been marked as red.. i can implement the automatic read all right now as i've built it, but it WILL read them all (however you can still click on "see all" at the bottom to list all the latest notifications)

> I can't remove the bell unless the notifications have been marked as red.. i can implement the automatic read all right now as i've built it, but it WILL read them all (however you can still click on "see all" at the bottom to list all the latest notifications) Yup! This will be great! Thank you, Rio! You're the best! :

> This has been implemented : Will work on the quote option now, but that one might take a while.. Thanks a bunch! Soon the quoting spree will begin! No pressure. :

I'm definitely biased on this one, but it's something I never truly liked in forums. Basically, I find the chat somewhat pointless and unnecessarily clunky to use compared to modern chatting systems. I understand the appeal of forum chats as I was there when they were first introduced and it was *the* way to chat casually among users. However, due to having a Disocrd server which just works better in every single way, I can't find any utility in it. I'm not suggesting to get rid of the chat system, but because I would probably almost never use it, I'd really like to be able to remove it from my interface as I browse on the main page. It's just kinda "there" at all times and I wish I could just avoid it completely.

It's just kinda "there" at all times and I wish I could just avoid it completely. I agree. Truly, truly. > Fair enough, noted! I'll try and come up with a solution for that : I suggest we could keep it, only the bot and announcements could only be posted. Simply put, just remove our access to it. Maybe make it a User-sensitive chat at least Admins can post there some important stuff too or something? Also, looking at it... Some stuff that is supposed to be posted here as concerns are being asked in the said chat too. Suggestion/Question: 1. Can we merge the "Quick Links" menu bar with the "Forum and Search" bar together and let 'em stick to top as we scroll down? Or... 2. Can we have an easy "scroll to top" button on the index page as well? At least no need to scroll up again just to go to the top after scrolling down to browse the index page. 3. Or maybe (even though I prefer this option less) make the scroll bar thicker so we could easily drag it up to scroll up?

Not sure if it's just a me thing, If I'm missing sth, but surely not top priority. At the moment it shows top recent topics, and instead of going to the latest posts/latest unread it always goes to the beginning. It also shows who made the thread instead of the latest poster which confuses me as well a little, but that may be a personal bias. Is a system like the previous feasible? It already works with the main page. When clicking on the thread title started with RE: The same when you're in the subforum and clicking on a thread.. Not sure if this made sense, but basically having the old system with threads in a way. hmm.. I don't really have a way with my words rn.

> Not sure if it's just a me thing.... ....It also shows who made the thread instead of the latest poster which confuses me as well a little, but that may be a personal bias. Is a system like the previous feasible? Not just you. It really made me confused as well, tbh. I just don't wanna point everything I see out in one go since it'll make me sound like a douchebag. Hence, agreeing is gonna be my move.

I'm already jumping ahead to the long discussions, but even now not having the convenience of just selecting a part of a post to quote seems like a lifesaver rather than manually editing the quote. That can be manually edited but if you don’t know the coding then you can’t go in and take the inner quotes out manually. It’s just like any other manual deletion or editing though... you take out the parts you don’t want to be there and the tags that go with them as you’re writing the message. I like that it does this because in some cases, having it go back further than one level keeps context Especially in longer conversations—you can just do truncated quotes. If you look at the “Tooic Review” at the bottom as you’re typing a response, select part of any of those messages and click the “ button, you can do partial quotes. I just tested it. That’s why there’s a partial quote of the message below. > Not sure if it's just a me thing, If I'm missing sth, but surely not top priority. At the moment it shows top recent topics, and instead of going to the latest posts/latest unread it always goes to the beginning. Where did you find that? Or do you mean the top recent posters thing? Like the thing that shows the top activity for the last 30 minutes? I’m trying to find the recent/new activity or posts area. Edit: I didn’t read the whole thread so disregard. Also I found the menu on the side lol.
