I've recently branched out to another forum. The mechanics of it are quite different, and I enjoy the state of "completeness" of the Hawken forums, but I don't want to describe them as "ideal" just because I've been here for so long.

 

What features do you think the forums could use?

 

The first thing that comes to mind for me is a more easily accessible "Submit a report" feature to cut down on how many times I have to say "hey, here it is!"

My goodness yes. I certainly harbor some frustration at those sorts of threads.
However that's more a critique on moderator activity, which, being completely valid, I suppose is welcome. I meant more in lines of actual buttons and notifications and features and the like that would make the forums more, accessible, useful, whatnot.

Another one would be to LET ME SEARCH FOR THREE CHARACTERS OR LESS DAMMT.

Maybe subsections or common/frequent tags so it's easier to find specific information?

Then again, I really have no idea how to properly use the tag function when posting a topic so this might already be a thing.

Greetings Pilots!

 

So here's the deal, being on the forums has been really great and all, but some there's some stuff I'd like to address. Nothing too serious, just a short and sweet list for y'all to bicker over.

 

  • Selected text only turns slightly bolder than the rest of the text, making it hard to tell what I've actually got highlighted.
  • Quoting doesn't stack. I did it once manually, which took an embarrassing amount of time. Multi-quote isn't the same, and even if it were, I don't want to multi-quote 5 different posts when they are all replying to each other.
  • I know y'all just got to work and have much bigger fish to fry (I work in a kitchen, I can sympathize), but what about a real mobile app/site? The current one looks unnervingly similar to one I built in an HTML intro class I took a few quarters ago...
  • Why is there a limit on the number of things one can like in a day? Is that a real issue, or is it an arbitrary thing?
  • Why can I report myself?
  • I dunno, some other stuff I was thinking about when I started typing this and have since forgotten. Whatevs.

Didn't tiggs fix that?

That's a moderator preference. I happen to agree with you but I can see how discussions full of stacked quotes might seem unbecoming.

I despise the mobile version of the site and never use it. If notifications and the like we're more visible I might reconsider.

That like thing has been beaten to death pretty hard and I think we've all "adapted" to it, but really I just don't think most people have any cause to notice it. If that's the case, it's doing its job.

Because you may wish to request your post be deleted.

Probably.

I guess that's fair. I feel exactly the opposite, but well. I guess it could always use more color options.

Free cupholders.

The servers come with cup holders built right into the motherboard. Don't spill!

Yeah I can't believe that's still a thing. There was even a forum discussion on it the same time we were asking for gay to be uncensored.
