A little Leave button on PM rooms in chat, so you don't have to /pmleaveroom to do it. You could even leave roons without them being the active tab!Yeah but that would mean restyling the PM rooms (which I want to do), plus it makes too much sense. I'll get to it eventually; I think I'm going to do your stupid mobile swiping thing first.
I think the PM's will be more important but lol okA little Leave button on PM rooms in chat, so you don't have to /pmleaveroom to do it.

An area on userpages to show you what forum threads they've created, to go along with their pages. I'd consider a good thread as much a contribution as anything else so I think it's worth listing. and also so we don't have to go mining through user activityBut see, I don't think the OP has much to do with the thread after creation like... 9 times out of 10. For instance, on this very thread, Neatnit is the OP, but when was the last time he posted here? I can't think of many forums where the OP continues to be a strong voice in the thread, no matter what the subject is. So I'll have to decline this one for now.
I've decided not to do mobile swiping for various reasons. I'd want them done right, and with our current design, it wouldn't feel fluid or anything.Maybe someday.Sticky threads. You mentioned it like 6 months ago and it didn't happen so here's a friendly reminderPerhaps one day.
I feel like, since the activity page was separated from the main page, fewer people are noticing new threads. Perhaps an option to show activity on the main page would be a good idea?I don't think just pasting a recent activity widget on the front page is a good idea; it's split for a reason. Though maybe a New Pages/Threads box would be nice. EDIT: Though by extension newer pages might receive more activity thus bumped to the popular places. I dunno.

Perhaps an option to show activity on the main page would be a good idea?Most people don't even go to the homepage; they just go straight to the activity. I don't think there's a good reason to put it back on the front page, since it would just be cluttering what people really want to see (which is activity). Trust me, based on the numbers, people aren't missing the activity page. Also, by default, the forums SHOW you when there's unread messages and/or threads. Maybe you disabled it? I don't want to shove new threads into people's faces when they clearly don't want to read them. Which threads aren't getting the attention they deserve? Remember, we have a REALLY small community, so even popular topics aren't going to get a lot of views. For instance, whenever I post an announcement thread, it gives EVERYBODY on the website a notification, and yet announcement threads don't get a lot of views. People are only going to look at the things they want to look at, no matter how many ways I shove new threads in their path.
Idea. Remove the notification icons for threads you have looked at. I noticed that responding will remove the notification number on the top right of "user," but I think just looking at the last page of a thread you have marked as "watch" should remove the icon. Since 90% of the time it's two other people having a conversation and not something I would respond to. So I go read what they said, and still have a notification that someone wrote something even though I'm looking at what they wrote. Then I have to go back to notifications and clear them manually.It should do that automatically. Check your site settings, it might be optional and I forgot i had to turn it on. It works just fine for me
For pages, could we do image uploading via URL? I'm sure this has been brought up before but I don't remember if there was some kind of issue with cross domain policy or malicious data being uploaded on the server this way. Gee this thread has been booming lately…I'm concerned that if I do it wrong, people will be able to insert malicious whatever into our pages. The system is set up to do this, but after reading up on it, I decided not to enable it. Also, I won't have control over the thumbnails, so if someone links like a 15MB picture, the search/front page/anything else will always load the 15MB picture instead of a thumbnail I can generate. Although, I guess we do it on the forums, so... eh? Why do you want it, anyway?
Thanks slacker. Now this is less tedious to use.Idea. Remove the notification icons for threads you have looked at.
