[QUOTE="beardie, post: 1975647, member: 3"] Yeah.. I know... 7 years later... while some of the requests/suggestions provided on this thread were somewhat met through other means, I think the new forums meet most of these so much better. Here's a breakdown of each suggestion/request and their status... [USER=71213]@Taterbug[/USER] [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]Done![/COLOR] Finally! And not just "like." Love, Laugh, Sad, etc. And flexible to add more, and positive ones give "points"/kudos to the poster. [USER=8482]@Goonie[/USER] [COLOR=rgb(251, 160, 38)]Todo[/COLOR]: Not yet on this, but this and several other articles/content are in the works. [USER=75271]@FloraBelle[/USER] [COLOR=rgb(251, 160, 38)]Todo[/COLOR]: This is STILL a need. But I have a plan and this on my todo list. The new system supports custom fields in a much better way, and I am looking into a possible way to have a custom field show up near their name with a tool tip of the details. [USER=71613]@Shane95[/USER] [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]Done![/COLOR] This was fixed already... but still worth noting (and will again a few more times), the [URL='https://www.beardeddragon.org/media/']new Media Gallery feature[/URL] supports people having their own albums and the upload process is SOOO much smoother and more integrated. [USER=77856]@Heyimbrit[/USER] [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]Done![/COLOR] Again, the [URL='https://www.beardeddragon.org/media/']new Media Gallery feature[/URL] is great! [USER=76248]@CooperDragon[/USER] [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]Done![/COLOR] Better than bookmarks and other methods before... Under the Forums tab, Find Threads, [URL='https://www.beardeddragon.org/find-threads/contributed']Threads with your posts[/URL] [USER=78241]@gamester666[/USER] [COLOR=rgb(251, 160, 38)]Todo[/COLOR]: As I noted, lots of content is in the works. Pulling the sticky thread that was provided by [USER=59179]@Tonja[/USER] into a well formatted resource article is on the list. Also, with the Resources feature, I've enabled it so that members with a significant number of posts (300 ... i.e. those with a vested interest in growing the content of the site) are able to create new Resources. Members can provide feedback, rate them, and like them. Those that are popular and well liked, and well written, we can look to migrate over into the official articles, or have as a highlighted resource. [USER=3]@beardie[/USER] [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]Done![/COLOR] and [COLOR=rgb(251, 160, 38)]Todo[/COLOR]: Yeah, I know. I'm quoting myself here. But I really want to emphasize that our plan is to really grow the article/written content on the site beyond the forums. My wife (a content writer) will be helping out a lot on this. But, in the past many have expressed a desire to be able to help write articles. With the [URL='https://www.beardeddragon.org/resources/categories/member-articles.6/']new Member Resources[/URL] section, those with 300 or more posts can draft, write up, and maintain their own articles, living document (maybe a "life of my beardie" story, etc.). Others can like, vote on, provide feedback, and even "Watch" resources for updates. [USER=76527]@DarkwingDork[/USER] and [USER=71213]@Taterbug[/USER] [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]Done![/COLOR] So, Taterbug provided a link to a Bee forum that had software that was good on mobile. At the time, they were using vBulletin (similar to phpBB that we used, but a bit cleaner). However, it seems that almost a year ago, they upgraded to the same software we are using today, a paid for forum/community system rather than the ones we were using which are free open source forum systems. Until I came back to read this thread I didn't know that. Somewhat ironic, I guess. But yes... mobile is sooo much better on this. And now, mobile is some 80-90% of our page loads, it makes sense to make that a major priority. Still not looking at Tapatalk, though... sorry. :) [USER=72722]@Marshamello[/USER] [COLOR=rgb(251, 160, 38)]Todo[/COLOR]: Still don't have this. Logistically it is challenging, and might require much higher levels of traffic to be able to find clusters of people that might be looking to do this. Definitely something many would like, but heavily dependent on the people. I was looking to see if there could be a way to show "recent posts" in a forum, but sorted by geographical proximity (based on IP addresses). Not sure that can be supported, though. [USER=77389]@Shanshan2102[/USER] [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]Done! Done! and Done! [/COLOR] The [URL='https://www.beardeddragon.org/media/']new Media Gallery feature[/URL] can support people having their own albums. For now, I've migrated the old "guest" visitor photo album. I've also created a category for people to share media about their Enclosures. We can expand on the categories as we have more interest. And for people just needing to upload pictures for their posts, that's also quick and easy. [USER=72330]@TangoMallangoLopez[/USER] [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]Done![/COLOR] Well, sorta [COLOR=rgb(251, 160, 38)]Todo[/COLOR]... we do now support video uploads on posts, but they have to be relatively small in size (video sucks up storage space fast). I'll look into whether we can support this without too much expense (cloud storage is not cheap). Anyway... this thread has been lingering forever! I'm glad to have FINALLY gotten so many things checked off the list, and most of the rest on the priority list for content creation. :) [/QUOTE]
