Official - Xenforo "Wish list"?

[S10xGN]

I like the new forum and I know there's still stuff to be done (and maybe some of this is still in that "to do" list), but here's a start:

• The old VB forum would automatically mark threads unread since last access, this one shows all as unread. Can we get that feature back?
• My animated GIF avatar is stalled, if they will no longer work let me know and I'll change it...
• Better delineation between threads, it's hard to see where one stops and the next one starts. This is prolly in the "skins" area...
• Each thread's timestamp is hard to find, it used to be front and center.

As stated above, LOVE the xenforo thing, but if you are looking for stuff to change, well, It'd be nice to have the user location beneath the username, for help in parts sales, etc. I know you guys have a lot on your plate here, merely a suggestion.

If you click on the avitar it will bring up info on the user.

And Russ, you can't have a naked chicas dancing in your avitar, sorry.

 

[novaderrik]

make it look exactly like the board looked like a year ago before the last "upgrade", but keep it fast like it is now.

I'ld like to be able to opt out of the Guns and Ammo like the Political section.
I agree, each post needs to be delineated better, they seem to run all together.
The new format is much better operating and I do like it.

Hmm, point 1, mine works as the old board did. The only time it shows all unread is when I'm not signed in.
can't advise on the animated GIF
Ya, hopefully the new skin will make it easier to deliniate between posts.
timestamps are a little hard to see, but once you find it you now know where to look.

Maybe I am thinking of another site, but I miss being able to see other members location under their avatar.

 

[charlief1]

If you click on their avitar it will pull it up.

Hey, when I click on my avatar, he's a runnin' again! I guess he gets wore out when he's on the main board...

LOL You're right Russ. Kinda funny.

Could there be a way to pick what forums you want to appear in the New posts? There are some things I visit from time to time (marketplace, regional forums) that I have to wade through to in the new posts.

• The old VB forum would automatically mark threads unread since last access, this one shows all as unread. Can we get that feature back?

1. It's currently working for me like the old vb forum, however I will check it and let you know.

• My animated GIF avatar is stalled, if they will no longer work let me know and I'll change it...

1. Do you notice that all the avatar here at new xenforo board have the same size, even your gif image. There are various reasons for doing this,
2. 1. JPGs will load faster than serveral GIFs on a page.
3. 2. The style will looks more cleaner to have avatar in an Uniform rather than multi-type width and height.
4. 3. GIF avatar is current being converted to JPG to display on post atm.

• Better delineation between threads, it's hard to see where one stops and the next one starts. This is prolly in the "skins" area...

1. It will be change on the new style.

• Each thread's timestamp is hard to find, it used to be front and center.

1. The point of xenforo is focusing on performance and remove/hide/make less visible less important features and focus on the more important one.
2. IMO, the timestamp is really not so important to me to have it display bold and center. The current place of it looks good to me, however I will consider it and read other comments on this feature.

• Maybe I am thinking of another site, but I miss being able to see other members location under their avatar.

1. It's back.

I will answer other request soon, just checking needed informations.

I would like to see the numbers for pages become a little darker/larger. It is very difficult for me to see them currently.

How about being able to delete multible conversations. I can only see one way to delete conversations and it's one at a time which isn't very convienant.

 

[Pronto]

I see now, the new "conversations" have both the sent and recieved. The older PMs from the old forum are just one entry. I only see the recieved ones though not the sent.

the time stamp is relevant when using the search future and looking at old posts. especially the classifieds.
it doesn't need to front and center but id be nice to be before the post --- "2001 post date" yeahh i can skip reading this and move on to the next thread.


thanks for your help with all of this

Can you please send a sample of powerlogger to my email at thevbninja@gmail.com so I could make a test?

Possiblity but it will need custom coding to make it work. So atm, it will be consider as future development.

It will be changed soon.

How about being able to delete multible conversations. I can only see one way to delete conversations and it's one at a time which isn't very convienant.

Now, please listen to me carefully.

Firstly,
Conversations are automatically deleted when every participant has left the conversation. The button is right on top of every conversation.
Secondly,
Official, there are NO delete function for conversation on xenforo.
Thirdy,
I will soon make a tweak so you will be able to mass-delete conversation. Stay in touch!

It has been added, from now on you will be able to delete/mass delete conversation by leave the conversation. See the attachment.

I will consider it, and find a more visible place for the timestamp. Thank you for your feedback.

Hi guys, if you have any suggestions to improve the current board, feel free to write it here. I'm more than happy to hear your voice and I will consider all the request to make it become real.

User online status: Added
Current people reading this thread: It will slow down the board because of extra queries to database, so unless we have some serious reasons to have this mod, it will not be added.

@S10xGN: I have changed the title of this thread so it will be official features wishlist of this site. Hope you don't mind.
