[quote][b]^^^ [u]CLICK LINK ABOVE FOR PART 1 OF FEEDBACK.[/u] ^^^[/b][/quote] [b]FORUM:[/b] [quote]* In addition to followed tags, I think users should be able to save topics searches to their side bar and rename them. Please see the Searching section above for more information. * The spoiler tag should appear as one line. When you click on the spoiler, it should expand to the appropriate length to view the text. This would be very useful for creating FAQs and guides. * Avatars should be scaled bigger than 35x35, but smaller than 90x90. * The sorting of posts while viewing a thread is acceptable to me, but not to some. I assume the reason posts are sorted by replies (descending) is because you don't want content to be missed. It would be nice to have multiple sorting options, such as comments (ascending/descending) and replies (ascending/descending). The ability to disable conversation threading is also something I'd like. The forums have been a certain way for so long; some users say change is good and others say if it ain't broke, don't fix it. * Previewing a post would be appreciated. * When creating a topic, users should have to select at least one official tag. This will allow users to have the sub-forums they are requesting. * The more information box should include the icons (Xbox, PSN, Facebook, ect.) that are also included on profile pages. An icon for a custom icon that links to a homepage URL would be great. There should also be more room for the motto. Online status or the date the user was last online would be good to know. You should be able to unfollow and unmute a user from the more information box. The more information box should include recognition icons similar to the ones listed on [url=http://www.xbox.com/en-US/forums/iconsandlevels]this page[/url]. Also, I would prefer if the more information box appeared if I just hovered my mouse over the name/avatar instead of having to click. * When a post is edited, the time stamp is replaced. The original time stamp should be listed right underneath the edited time stamp. * You should be able to unlike or undislike a topic. * After manually hiding a topic and then temporarily revealing it, the button to un-hide the topic permanently should not say "hide post." * Hovering over a topic icon should have a brief description of what it means. Another alternative would be to make the icons link to a page that describes what all of the icons mean. * More reasons should be stated for hiding a topic/hiding a post/muting a user. I would suggest adding Off-Topic/Misuse of Tags, Spam, and Impersonation. [/quote] [b]GROUPS:[/b] [quote]* Group membership is limited to 10 groups. This is very bad in my opinion. I understand the concept of wanting users to be more involved and contribute in the groups you're a member of, but 25 seemed adequate. I dropped from 22 groups to 8 groups so I could join 2 new ones and that was really not something I enjoyed doing. I don't see myself ever leaving the groups I'm in now and for that reason, I would like a little more leeway so I could contribute in other private group forums. I'm sure I'm not the only old school member that shares the same opinion. * Group quick links should return. An example would be bungie.net/group/16555 or bungie.net/group/destiny. * Adding a news section to groups is needed. It should be similiar to Bungie.net news, allowing header images, unlimited image/YouTube video embedding, and commenting on news stories. Announcements (pinned topics/stickies) should be visible above the group forum. * Group membership type should be displayed on the group homepage and when browsing groups. * Groups should be given more customization options, such as uploading their own header and logo/avatar as well as designing their own color scheme. * Groups I've Founded should be changed to Groups I Manage. That section should list groups that you are an Administrator or Founder of. The other section should list all of the groups you don't have elevated permissions in. * Starting a related topic in a group should not be created as a public topic. * Text markup and links should be allowed in the Group Description. * A blocked user feature for groups would prevent a user from joining a group, regardless of group membership type. It would also prevent the user from posting in group topics. Blacklisting a member should not remove them from the group. * Searching for members in groups should be added again. * Only the founder can create group public topics when Admin only is checked in Group Settings. Since Administrators can modify group settings, they should be allowed to create group public topics. * Founders and Administrators can only edit/delete the original post of a group topic. This should be changed. * Changing membership from requires approval to open/closed does not affect members in pending queue. If changing to open, all pending members should be accepted automatically. If changing to closed, all pending members should be rejected automatically. * Users should be able to leave the group from the group homepage. If a user leaves a group, that user should automatically unfollow that group. A user should be not be able to unfollow a group that user is a member of. * Allow for multiple Founders to be assigned to one group. * Custom security roles should be implemented. Here's what I'm suggesting for permissions. [quote][u]Permissions[/u] View Group Activity View Public Topics View Private Topics Create Public Topics Create Private Topics Start Related Topics Post In Public Topics Post In Private Topics Edit Other's Posts Delete Posts Submit News Approve News/Post News Directly Edit News Delete News Promote Demote (would not be able to demote users with same permissions or elevated permissions) Approve Members Reject Users Kick Members (would not be able to kick users with same permissions or elevated permissions) Modify Group Settings Modify Group Security Roles/Full Control (users assigned with this permission are listed as Founder) Note: Each news story would have its own visibility permissions.

There should be a group setting to enable/disable the visibility of group activity for NonMembers, Members, and other security roles (if added later).[/quote] [b]ABOUT US:[/b] [quote]* An in-depth history is needed.
