ok! these are mostly based off of my time spent on other forums so i'm not sure how possible they'd be on proboards tbh apologies if any of these are already in, ive explored the site some but not a ton
1. a whats new page, or newly updated
2. a featured discussion thing maybe? or forum events? i think these would be hard to do but fun!
3. custom name colors! like how the adult group turns the user color black, but epic. i also personally find the black color hard to read on dark mode so it would be useful for color blind or hard of sight folks
4. a tagging system! im not sure how these would work on a forum exactly but itd be useful i think
An activity page is something I would love to implement; I've been meaning to look into that and will have to add it to my laundry list of things to do.
Forum events would also be fun! Though I think that we may have to wait on that until a little more in the future, when the forum's better established. Since the forum is still relatively new, we're still working out a lot of issues/surprise problems, and I wouldn't want to jump the gun on that.
We can look into custom name colors, but from what I know about ProBoards I don't know how feasible that will be.
We are also currently looking into if a tagging system on the forum would be possible!
Big changes will be on hold until the 19th when I and Chimeras' vacation's over, and I already have a large To-Do list to cover regarding the forum, so please be patient with me on implementing these (or updating this thread on their viability and any reasons we as a staff team decide to not implement them). Thanks for the suggestions! ^^
re: what's new Proboards has this somewhat built in, in an inconvenient way. But if you go to Search, leave all the fields blank, but select "display results as threads" and then hit search, it will spit out everything at you from newest to oldest.
A temporary fix.
edit: bookmark breaks after a couple tries. Whoops. So alas, gotta search every time.
