You've been working tirelessly to keep this place as smooth running as possible but I'd like to add if you can remove this: when trying to view the posts in a thread, especially if it has like two or three pages and above and there's the "all" option, can you be kind enough to make it that we can view without being asked to verify if we are human?

This is a feature to protect the server, so as not to overload it for bots to visit.
And normally we only have to go through this check every now and then, and if the topic is very large.

Thank you for this and all you've been doing to improve the forum so far.

Can you further help in the area of autosave of typed posts? It is disappointing at times if our browser or gadget misbehaves and all long-typed constructive posts just vanish like that. The current style is far from what I see on a few forums.

Oh wow, I hadn't seen that particular issue mentioned before--I missed it, obviously--and I thought I was the only one who'd pulled most of his hair out for having lost numerous posts that took some time to write because of whatever glitch or 'misbehavior' caused it. It hasn't happened to me in a while, because over time I started copying my post drafts to my clipboard just in case, but an autosave function sure would be nice.

But I'm not sure how prevalent that problem is, and there are obviously a lot more important issues the forum's brainiac techies need to deal with.

And triple props to PowerGlove for all his hard work. Great member of the community and a straight-shooter as well, which is much appreciated when 90% of members here are brainless saps who wouldn't give an honest opinion if they had a gun to their head.

Also, at least in this thread, I don't mind redundant posts (as long as they're organic, as in, a forum member that's just sharing a genuine niggle). I

Like mine?

Oh, you typed niggle...

Does anyone use this?

Never did until you mentioned it here lol, the "go" button is actually useless too since after choosing the board on the select option it redirects eventually on the chosen board ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe this space could be used for something else... I don't know...

not something vague and big like: ~ "Can you improve the forum's mobile-friendliness?"

Quote from: ChiBitCTy on July 19, 2024, 12:13:38 AM

Would a btalk app be a realistic possibility.

Whoops

But who knows, I've seen posts about a possible API, which puts an app one step closer. I'd never use my real account on a mobile advice though, so it's not for me.

Built in photo upload option.

I think this is limited by "legal", not "technical". See:

Quote from: https://bitcointalk.org/contact.php

If you are complaining about an image located at ip.bitcointalk.org: That image is hosted elsewhere, and we are only proxying it from the original location in order to protect user privacy. You should not complain to us.

I don't think theymos wants to deal with copyright issues.

What's up Mr Robot

Having skills like you do, and using them and your own time for the betterment of the community, hopefully you know how appreciated you are.

Talking out loud..
Would a btalk app be a realistic possibility. I wonder how much programming that would take, and if that's the potential bigger constraint or if the main constraint would in large part come down to expenses. Perhaps a mix of the two. (this is not an ask, it's a big task I'm sure, just really curious. Maybe a topic too consuming for this thread, and apologies if so)

Somehow I'd love to be able to chat about general tech and security here. This is currently not a topic the forum has, and I think it really needs it. Computer knowledge/security goes hand in hand with bitcoin, and I've ALWAYS got questions, thirsty to learn!

Built in photo upload option. This would be freakn sweet. Not having to use imgur and those of that ilk would be lovely.

I know I'll think of others/better ideas.

One small fix suggestion regarding shrink or expanding the header. (...)

I know you've already taken many ideas in, it may be helpful to post what is already on your list/backlog so people don't just re-post the same stuff.

Hmm... It's going to take a lot of effort to get my personal notes into publicly-digestible form. Undecided

Also, at least in this thread, I don't mind redundant posts (as long as they're organic, as in, a forum member that's just sharing a genuine niggle). If something comes up again and again, then that's useful information on its own. I guess, my philosophy is that the best way to attenuate redundant problem-reporting is to fix the problem being redundantly reported. Cheesy

If you haven't noticed this [Userscript] Auto-Save your posts to drafts by @TryNinja does exactly what you're looking for.

Thank you for this suggestion. But no, it can't do what I want the way I want it, besides, I read about the function months ago when it was freshly posted. What I want is a forum built and not a third-party bridge installation. Do you even advise me to install that? Then you might not be considering the privacy aspect of it.

Don't worry, I'm on it.

It’s the one thing I can literally say bothers me and yeah, it might be vague then again, concerns about it has been raised severally to show that, it does constitute a problem to not just some people but all people on the forum and something could have been done about it. Not exactly broken but, needs improvements.

PowerGlove, you’ve been very helpful on the forum and am sure you know just how much the rest of us value you in the efforts you put in to make navigating this space come with much ease. Good to know this sort of activity isn’t just stressful but, helps your energy. Keep up the good you’ve been about.

i have this little suggestions if possible it falls under what you may consider, on a situation like this, can we have a button or section like that of Meta board where we can have a statistics of new members log that registers on a daily, weekly and monthly basis,

This suggestion is not little and does not fall under small fixes that he requires. This also doesn't require writing codes. With LoyceV data you can make what you described.

Quote from: Doan9269 on July 17, 2024, 03:01:18 PM

secondly, if we can as well have every important forum Meta threads that talks about the forum on a single thread.

This is about creating threads and not what PowerGlove expects. Besides, there's Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ But if you have a better idea of such a thread, you can create it.

Don't rely on the forum data base, draft page, browser or Internet.

If you are composing a quality post, assume is long one, save it locally on your computer. It's simple to open any Note-taking application you have on your computer, before click on Post. If anything is wrong after clicking, you will always have a draft locally and can re-broadcast it with your account.

Even if there is enhancement on it from forum side, you can not trust that it will work 100% times for you. Local draft storage is what will work 100% for you.

That list is going to be far too long (for some users), and will lead to timeouts.

Not if you are using modern architecture. https://blazor.syncfusion.com/demos/datagrid/overview?theme=bootstrap5 On the dropdown change to 1,000,000 rows and 11 columns. Still loads within a second.

So, if you can think of something fairly specific that you'd like to see fixed/improved and you estimate it to be a small(ish) task (so, not something vague and big like: "Can you fix the forum's search?", or "Can you improve the forum's mobile-friendliness?", etc.), then please post it in this thread.

A pop-up question ^{[e.g. This user has an active flag... Do you still want to proceed?]} that immediately appears when someone tries to send a PM to a user with active flags ^{[especially if it's a scammer flag (type 2 or 3 flags)]}.
^{- Despite the colorful banners on top of their topics and warnings on their profiles, some users still fail to notice who they're trying to contact (unfortunately).}
