Here is one suggestion:
When a member is creating new thread, based on data he has entered in title and posts, show him suggestions for already posted threads related to same topic. This will prevent multiple threads on same topic and save everyone's time. I have seen this feature on some forums.

I think this is a lapse from the user creating the thread because if he had first research about the topic or keywords to the post he's intending of before proceeding further, the search function will help to see relevants aspect talked about it, so i wouldn't advise while typing the title or content of the post to be popping up suggestions regarding the same post intended to, member's should understand that we have millions of words that could serve as keyword to each word input but typing a sentence or giving a clue phrase and searching it will help direct the search towards the specific aspect in question than pulling the whole suggestions of words.

...I think someone has made it already or I'm remembering something different.

It's [1] telegram bot. It works great however would prefer native functions. I wouldn't be surprised if there are people who miss discussions just because they aren't aware of the bot.

^ nah, good threads already get bumped to the top, plus not everyone is interested in all boards. If you say, we could implement further functionality where you can select the boards one is interested in then we have better suggestions here that should get the priority. I personally believe in-built alert system for quotes/notifications/merits is must.
Could work but the problem isn't that inconvenient for many forum users so it's a feature not worth adding. I would support you regarding notifications for merits/quotes although I think someone has made it already or I'm remembering something different.

Considering the numerous boards in the forum, I'd want a compilations of the best threads per week sent to every member's Dm. Best threads, which can be determined by the interactions and discussions in the thread, how meaningful and educative it is to users, can be disseminated in batch of selected 5-10 meaningful posts amongst all threads posted in that week, so that users that didn't participate in the thread can read them too. It'll help everybody to easily keep track of useful topics in the forum and boost learning too. Since the forum is mainly focused on learning, I wouldn't fancy any other feature other than the one that elevates more learning. Especially for the newbies who are not familiar with the boards on the forum, they miss out on so many useful threads in the forum, through this exercise; sending Dms of best threads in the week, would help them get across and know other sections in the forum. This will cost the forum nothing and would increase the rate of quality posts in the forum since members would want their threads to appear on the best threads of the week.

The classical look of bitcointalk.org has its own swag.
If I want to see something new in bitcointalk.org in 2023 is the alerts like we have in facebook, gmail etc. Right now have to manually check whether someone replied to our post or not. If such feature is added to bitcointalk.org then it will ease out things. Apart from that I dont have anything in mind that I want to see here, as I said the classical look has its own swag. 
Bitcointalk didn't have option of alert like social media but if they add it will be best for user experience but in telegram there is a bot @BTTSuperNotifier_bot through this bot you can get every notification like merit , mentioned any many other, but first you have to attached this bot with your bitcointalk account and then add also all those topic where you want alerts, after than when every you have been mentioned or selective topic got reply you will be notified.

Ok thank you for telling me about that since I didnt have idea that there is such feature available. Unfortunatly I am not on TG so cant avail that bot. But it will be a good featuer if there is notification like thing that sends you a notification on your mobile that you got any activity in your bitcointalk.org account. 


I wish you would have told him about this one instead of just prompting him using a notification bot. In additional options you can also set notifications to -''notify me of replies'' before you reply to a post. I thought it would help him get notified when someone replies to his post or quotes him. He only needed to tick the points to activate them.



Thanks to you also, since I dont have info about this too. You really ease out things for me.

If a participant knows how to use search, he will never do what you did. In your case, I even doubt your eyesight, since the titles of both topics are almost identical.
A polite person would simply apologize and close the topic after noticing such a similarity, but you did not hesitate to continue your topic. It's very ugly and looks very stupid. Besides, there are no such coincidences.
Having registered in 2017, but not knowing how to use the search, was a rather backward behavior.

Mobile App please

...Heck, I'd be very happy even with just having a responsive UI alone.

Do you mean 'fit to mobile screen' kind of thing with responsive ui? Cause except zoom-in/out, it's as good as desktop.

For that particular zoom-in/out 'problem', you can use this zoom extension —  it condenses the view. Works on Kiwi/lemur/mises browser (supporting chrome extensions on android).

@tranthidung's method makes page read only, imo above extension is better alternative to that.

Edit: For iOS devices, you can try [1]orion browser for ff, chrome extensions. I don't have an iOS device, so no personal experience about this one.

**In BTC since 2013**
My only wish is to have an update for Epochtalk - a new forum software. As far as I know, since the last update, the new software was mostly done. Just need
  • Testing
  • Improving
  • Data transitioning

Well, I've heard this idea of "it's almost done" for almost 5 years now. I question whether there is even enough interest or will to implement these changes.
Changing a forum of these dimensions to a new script is not exactly easy. Not impossible, but very complex. Either way, you need a lot of will, which I think still doesn't exist enough.

Because many newbie break campaign rule, especially on social media campaign, I hope that some restriction such as no longer accepting newbie in all campaign can become new rules introduced for every manager. I think this rule will save more time for cheater hunters who have been very persistent in trying to clean that section from cheaters. After all, it's not a limitation that makes newbie get jailed in this forum because at least they have to have the effort to post something that makes sense and rank up until they meet the requirements to join the campaign.

I'd really like to know how likely this rule introduced although I think one or two managers could limit the number of newbies in their campaign so far.

Perhaps a better merit system? I mean, whenever someone receives a merit for their reply to a thread, that user's post comes out on top! It's similar to showcasing whose response has the most substance or is the funniest, similar to reddit's.

But yeah! I think this is the most difficult to implement  Cheesy

Not really and it's possible there is a package in the SMF script where members can vote for the best response and it will come out on top of the thread I think that would be one thing that I want to be added or changed members can vote for the best response and it comes out on top below the main thread, it encourages members to give the best possible response in a discussion.

Not sure on what I would like to see in Bitcointalk if there would be changes made this year but if there are changes that could help us in surfing in this forum then that would be a great help in my opinion like the suggestion made by others being implemented or I don't what it is. As long as it will benefits the forum user then I would be grateful for that. Previously, I was happy that a suggestion is finally implemented where I can see which forum user is the op. I am looking forward to whatever changes made in the forum either from suggestions or the forum staff came up with. Badges is also cool even though I don't have any badge at all.

What one change would you like to see in bitcointalk in 2023?
All of the good stuff has already been mentioned by other members, so I'd just go with a simple one... Having the ability to use non-default themes again [e.g. BlackBox theme]. I do know it was "disabled to reduce the attack surface", but perhaps the changes that were made in the past 9 years could provide enough protection to restore that feature [I'm well aware of the alternative routes, but I prefer not to use something that isn't "officially" part of the forum].

Why is everyone wants to change some of the features on this forum?

Why aren't we happy with the current setup of the forum?

If there was to change anything, theymos would have done it already. When the forum admin did not want any changes and think everything is perfect, why do we insist on the changes?

My answer is that I am happy with the current bitcointalk forum and no changes are required.
As far as I know, theymos also has a rather large list of things they'd like to do, there's just some complications in implementing it, whether that's due to time restrictions or just because there's issues in the current implementation they've drawn up. There was a list that theymos commented on the various suggestions the community has made over the years. It's a bit like the reporter badges, there's issues that's prevented it from happening. I do think eventually we'll see them.

2023 will start in about a day or so. There are many suggestions thrown every now and then to improve the forum.

What one change would you like to see in bitcointalk in 2023?
Let's be precise in this discussion and list only a single change that you would like forum admins to make which can make the forum more productive yet it should not lose its traffic.

There are somethings that I want to have in mind and re just listed below 👇
1. Bitcointalk Own wallet
2. Bitcointalk Forum own Advertisments system
3. Bitcointalk Marketplace etc.


My mean was not that to make it a Wallet or exchange but add some extensions so that it could be so cool.

A restricted area for higher rank members so they can share pieces of stuff, giveaways, or freebies no illegal pieces of stuff of course, and talk about things that are hidden in the public eyes, some forums have a restricted area and are exclusive for their top members only, another one is social media integration where your post has the option to share in your social media accounts.

Rather than a handful of members making thousands of dollars a month on advertisements, I think it would be cool if everyone had the opportunity to make a couple dollars a week. 
Everyone (and by everyone I mean all members who are capable of writing a coherent sentence) already have the opportunity to make more than a couple of bucks per week as there's more spots in signature campaigns than there are solid members so even shitposters are capable of making $200-$300 per month.


But I just understood that if a scammer is banned they can easily return with a new innocent account and continue scamming which may be more dangerous.
You don't think that's not exactly what scammers are doing anyway, after they get negative tag? Of course they make a new account to continue scamming so banning them wouldn't make then any more dangerous than they are now.



As for me, I would like to see forum being more open to creating few more local boards (Pakistan for sure and eventually Bangladesh) as I don't really see a downsides of that.

Once a man, twice a child!
Reporter badges Wink.

Self explanatory, but I think it would help with encouraging reporters. theymos knows this, but obviously has talked about how he wants to implement it correctly, and mitigate abuse of the system.
Trust me, as easy and conspiratory as what I will say is, it's not far from the truth. If badges for reporting posts are given to members who report them, that will scare some users posting where they think these reporters frequent, especially posters who are less than average. There will be members who will consciously want to steer clear of intruding eyes just like a lot of low ranked members like staying away from Meta.
