Idea: breaking up the forums into subforums or something. Currently a lot of stuff just feels 'mashed together' I was thinking something like this: 
>Site Discussion
>General
 ~SmileBASIC general
 ~Off topic
>FAQs
>Programming Questions
 ~Open
 ~Resolved
>Talk About Programs
 ~Program announcements
 ~Program discussion
Is this not reasonable or is it a good idea?

I don't feel like we get enough posts to warrant this, and more categories means people have a higher chance of putting a thread in the wrong place. Are you having trouble finding threads?

No, and if I was that's why there is the search function. I just feel like it could be broken down, namely general and talky porgrams feel like they could be split more.

I wouldn't mind an option to preview your pictures before you upload them as your Avatar. With the Limited Changes and all, it gives limited room to guess and test a picture to see if it looks good on the Site's Avatar Picture Aspect Ratio. An option to see how a picture will look before Changing it would be perfect! That way a person doesn't have to waste their Avatar Changes just to see if it looks good on this Site's Picture Crush.
Instead, I just removed the limit on avatar changes

Clicking outside of a site message composer to kill it destroys the text inside it and any chosen recipients. Killing a message composer with text in the user search (not a user selected), then reopening the composer will not have destroyed the user search input.
  • Killing the composer is easy to do on accident and will result in loss of work. Suggests a different behavior when hiding the composer box. If a user wants a new slate, they can refresh or open the messaging area again.
https://smilebasicsource.com/staff contains a typo in the "Having Problems?" sections in the last paragraph, second line: "You can also contact a Head Admin f you want to become part of staff" Instances of "homebrew" aren't being corrected to "marijuana" still for some reason? (jk pls pull)
Fixed all that... messagebox nonsense I believe

Quote button on page comments.
Because of the way comments work (a hierarchy rather than a straight timeline), I don't think this will work. I tried it, and unless you're replying and then quote, it just feels weird. People KNOW that you're replying to something because you're putting your comment in the reply chain. IDK, if you can convince me, I'll put it in.
Add the ability to see notifications pop up without the need to visit another page or to refresh?
Done, but if it stresses the server too much, I'll have to take it away (or severely reduce the interval).

Sitewide user JS Edit: Done. There's a userscripts thread here.

It seems to be working quite well so far. I got the notification only a few seconds after it happened.

Can we have a way to globally read certain varstore variables of other users in *JS?

Maybe an option on your user page to toggle the showing of cursing (basic curses). I myself am not a fan of it. if not i can totally make a sitejs thing k

The more you fight stuff like this, the more people will do it. People will curse in unique ways just to prove they can break the filter. Have you not learned anything from history? From your time on the internet, even?

Oh yeah, remember how I said optional? Not making it ILLEGAL to curse, just making an option to bypass obvious occurances.

People will still invent ways to circumvent the filter to irritate people who have it on.

Lol I actually asked random about this in the other day. He said he wouldn't add it because there were "a million ways to say the word 'fuck.'" If you guess all one million then you win a smiley face sticker.

Time for me to write a bot script for getting all of those "fuck" stuffs.

Suggestion: a stickied FAQ thread in the programming questions forum. There's quite a lot of useful information in that forum, but most of it is buried by newer posts, a lot of which ask the same things. So maybe it would be good to have a post linking to threads containing solutions to common problems?

Only smart people would use it, and smart people already know how to use the searchbar. But sure, we can start closing/moving threads into the FAQ category. Admins, get on that lol.

That's true, to an extent, though I think that a sticky thread could catch a decent chunk of those users who are to impatient to search, but whom might still click the first post in a forum :-) It'll need a catchy title, such as "START HERE! Solutions to common problems..." or "BEFORE YOU ASK: check here to see if your problem has been solved"... Something short and punchy to grab attention :-)

Hey maybe when you ignore someone you should make it so their gif stops animating, or disappears from the list entirely, as a setting.
