That or making it look different and more noticeable than the "post reply" button because they are close together and look very similar.

Or you could put it next to the "edit topic" button at the top….

Maybe make it a different color? I mean, I know we've kind of got a color scheme already here, but making it red would make it more obvious.

But still, I think if it wasn’t next to the post reply button, I think that it’d be better with it where someone is least likely to tap it when typing or trying to post a reply…

I think that having formating buttons (bold, italics, spoilers, etc.) would be nice, for everyone doesn't know how to do the coding for it. Even just making a discussion that lists how to do these things would be extremely helpful!

There is a thread for that but I do second the idea!

Yeah

Yeah, I found that thread in tutorials a few minutes after posting this. Kinda kicking myself for not looking for it sooner. Lol

But the button thing would be more convenient

I agree.

I agree with this,

I agree too. You make good suggestions! :)

Something I kinda figured out… When I'm on my phone, I noticed the notifications only give me the unread in that certain discussion field.
For example, if I'm on a thread in general chat, I'm not going to see the unread roleplays I have, which is a slight inconvinence for me, but I assume that's just how the website functions….

Yeah… it is very inconvenient… also it is very hard to search for a thread when you are on a phone…

…Yeah. That's true…

Oh and the unread thing goes for chromebooks too…

So the Free Plan has four things: characters, universes, locations, and items, right? Well, I was thinking, I don't really need items per se, so maybe you can choose the categories you have? So you can trade one category for something else if you don't need it, but you can only have four at a time (for the free version, anyway.)

I think that's a great idea, but at the same time, what system would be in place that would stop people from abusing their use of categories? Because if they could choose their 4 categories and switch it any time they like, what would be keeping them from constantly switching? And if you couldn't switch after choosing your categories, people might complain if they accidentally chose the wrong one and can't switch to the one they want.

It would be nice to have 'folders' of sorts for our characters so that we could put all of the secondary ones together, and the mains in a folder, and villains, etc.

wow. actually, thats a good idea.

that's a good point. idk, maybe 'universes' and 'characters' have to be kept default? I get how that doesn't solve everything, though. I'll keep thinking lol.

Maybe if you switch it you lose the stuff in it? Like you can’t switch to something and get the stuff bac so you’d have to be careful about what you do.

Can you change how you show the number of posts on one thread? The little circles can only take numbers with 4 digits. 'Ignore' in the General Chats has 25399 posts as of writing this, the last number goes off the page and you can't see it.

Maybe it could be like 4k or 4.1k instead of 4000 or 4100?

I really like this Idea! One of the reasons I joined this was because of the variety of things, I would prefer the Species over Items any day cause that is what brought me here but i cant use it cause i cant go premium….

Oh yes please…. it bothers me a lot, I would love the change.

Yeah.
I could get behind that.

I know this sounds weird, but a limit of RPs or discussions you can make every month? Maybe you have to delete some of the old ones to make new ones.

I like to leave this thread generally @andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)-free so people can brainstorm and come to their own (great) ideas, but I do want to pipe in and say that I'm working on something similar to folders with tags, that I hope to release in early January if all goes well. You'll be able to create any tags you want and tag your pages with them, so you could have "main characters" or "work in progress" or "aliens" or whatever – and any page can have any number of tags. That kind of works like folders, but also allows pages to effectively be in multiple "folders" at once (e.g. both "main characters" and "aliens").

Working on a big UI release for the new year (which includes a lot of mobile-specific suggestions from previous pages in this thread) and then will get back to work on tags. :)

The folders and tags thing sounds INCREDIBLY useful! Also Thanks for making this site it is AMAZING!!!

Thank you andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)!! I owe ya!!
