    We want a full wish list....

    Of features which you would like on the forums

    We are going to do a forum upgrade soon and we are keen to get all the features in place which you would like

    We will do the best we can - what can be done will be done - anything else well can go in the 'waiting never to be done list'

    Suggestions received so far
    • Mobile version of the forum
    • Fix the broken link parsing code
    • Width adaptive layout? Primarily the reply box - tiny on a 1680x1050 screen
    • Allow forum pages to load alongside the ads - remove the need for the ad to appear before the rest of the page will load
    • Tidy up some of the 'stickied' threads - those on lower resolution/widescreen monitors tend to have to scroll to get to the new threads
    • Plugin request: gXboxLive - Xbox Live Leaderboard - vBulletin.org Forum
    • Plugin request: Cyb - Advanced Forum Statistics - vBulletin.org Forum
    • Mobile Device Style Assignment - vBulletin.org Forum
    • Mobile/Cell Phone Style - vBulletin.org Forum
    • Passive video plugin - for embedded YouTube (and other) videos
    • Re-visit smileys. Possibly change the alt-text
    • Section in Lifestyle forum for books and reading
    • Is the subforuming a little too deep in places?
    • Can anything be done to prevent, or make clear, the resurrecting of age-old threads?
    • Move HEXUS.channel forum, users were accustomed to gaming being directly below general discussion
    • Please, please, please could we have the 'Subscribed Threads' button back on the menu bar at the top

    Re: We want a full wish list....

    If it's still appropriate to post in this thread, would it be possible to have the ability to show a preview of the latest post in a thread underneath the thread title itself. I use the new posts search a lot and it would be nice to see what the latest post is in a thread without actually having to go into the thread.

    Hopefully that makes sense.

    Is it possible to add [spoiler] tags rather than having to mess around with text in various shades of grey/white?

    Re: We want a full wish list....

    What about Hexus.Gadgets for all the gadget freaks out there.

    Also when you report a post, it's normally for a good reason. Could this action then automatically lock the post pending investigation?

    Re: We want a full wish list....

    -Some kind of chatbox feature so hexites can natter to each other without needing conversational style huge threads in regular forums.

    -A Hexus mission statement so we know what is and what isn't Hexus.

    -Tidy up of classified section - there's already a thread of suggestions there.

    I see the advert thing has been mentioned already - that causes a lot of headaches for me.

    Re: We want a full wish list....

    My main request would be that if you enable things like embedded video, to ensure that those of us that don't want it can disable it, like inline graphics and sigs can be turned off. Animated adverts are bad enough.

    Personally, I also want to see the identity as a forum preserved, and don't want to see an attempt to turn it into a youtube imitation or a chat room. They already exist.

    A clean, elegant simplicity has it's own beauty and appeal. Don't be seduced into adding bells and whistles for their own sake, because you risk them getting in the way, not adding to the experience.

    A storage section in HW perhaps
    & how about a section where users can post news items.

    Re: We want a full wish list....

    Not sure if this has been mentioned... but applying a time limit on "similar" threads might be nice, as most of the ones I've just been looking at (in recently started threads) are all from 2005/2004

    maybe limit them to 12-18months?

    Re: We want a full wish list....

    Can you set the maximum number of posts per page up to 100? Other forums like the SXOC which im sure uses the same system lets you have up to 100 posts per page, which makes it easier to keep up with hot threads!

    Re: We want a full wish list....

    Automatic image resizing/scaling for when posted images are beyond certain dimensions.

    If automatic link/title parsing is to remain, how about a user defined default - it's annoying having to go to Advanced view just to uncheck it.

    Sound and operating system fields in "My System" - it'd help when offering advice.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.
