Hey Ryan, is there any hope to see some forum improvements? We don't have a user panel, we can't track down post, we can't subscribe to threads etc...Vbulleting is way better for example, so I'd like to know your plans... the forum will be muchhhhhhhhh more readable... ;)
Working on some other improvements to the site first (a few main page changes and a few system changes) then we will look at what we can do with both forums and blog formats to improve the experience and function.If there are any other suggestions just post here, they will definitely be read and looked into.
The forum lacks of the main feature of a forum that I listed before... right now it seems like a blog to me.I also find it is not well readable like 2p2 or other forums...but I don't know it is your choice and seems I'm criticizing you (and of course I'm not)...
I definitely want to make it more readable and easier to post.The features, if easily implemented, will be implemented (post count, that type of thing), but I don't expect to migrate to a new board unless it's 1) very easy 2) there are additional needs that are met that make transferring worthwhile (such as security, I hate having to delete these little bot spammers a few times a week as I wakeup).But like I said, we're prioritizing some main page changes that should appeal to more new users and allow us to showcase some of our features that we've added in the last 6 months or so (news, deal of the month, a few new things we're rolling out soon). We're also prioritizing a change in the system too, but after that we'll really take a hard look at stuff like forums.
Ok Ryan ;)Looking forward the home page
One thing I'd really love to see are 2+2 style hand histories, if that's at all possible.For instance, in PT3, you can just click on a hand, then do "Export to 2+2 Forums" and just copy&paste it into a post on 2+2.But here, you need to copy&paste it into the converter first, then select the html code, copy&paste that into your post (clicking that "HTML" button to do so), then edit it to remove results, set input format to full html, then preview.Hand histories are also much more readable on 2+2 since they're compacter and use less space.This is annoying me especially in Fast Track as I always need to scroll up and down to see any replies to that hand. Whereas on 2+2, you see the hand and the first couple of replies all on the first page.
Maybe we can make the converter automatically in line with posts/threads.
