The Lioden forum is wonderful, don’t get me wrong, but, I had a few ideas to make it all that more convenient.

On a side note, if this had been suggested before, let me know!

1: Updated Topics link/tab

I know you can subscribe to topics but, you don’t get any notifications that the topic has been posted in (or at least, I don’t), which can been extremely important (especially if you enter a raffle/contest). In order to tell if a topic had been posted in, you’d have to go to the Chatter tab then click on ‘Your Subscriptions’.

What I propose is a tab, as seen in this image:

Which you could click on that would bring you to the ‘Your Subscriptions’ page.

My first thought was to have these updates go through Messages, but the cluster would be more of a nuisance than any help.

Additionally, perhaps even a number could appear as seen below:

2: Post Reply

I’m not totally sure if this already exists, but it does, I suppose I’ve been very fortunate

Let’s say you enter a ‘Free Art For The First Three Posts’. You’re super pumped because this artist can draw good. In your frenzy, you post, only to find that someone else had posted a split second before you. Then you get the “Sorry, first three only” thing.

I find it might be beneficial to have a Post Reply notification as seen below:

That would alert you of someone else posting, then give you the option to revise your message, or scrap it in this case.

3: Post Order

I know the title can be a bit confusing, but I’ll shall explain my friends.

If you go to check ‘Your Subscriptions’ and click the link, you'll be brought to the first page.

So I propose an option in the 'Edit your Details' tab to change what happens when you check up on your replied topics

I know some people don’t mind that, so a ‘default’ option would keep it as it.

And just to be clear, this would only happen after you have replied to the topic but there could also be an option that would always show to latest post first.

4: Double Post Prevention

It's probably happened to everyone at least once, and it can be a bit irritating.

I figured an easy fix would be a message similar to "Woah, you just posted this message! (Some sarcastic remark here, maybe)"

It would catch Double posts, and prevent spam to some degree.

So, what do you guys thinks? Questions, Comments, Criticisms, Add-ons?
Let me know!

Suggestions:

Lieutenant Stabby |IO | LdT | (#35974): "For #1, can the notification messages for the Update topics tab be customized? I subscribe to A LOT of threads and not all of them need to notify me of every response (especially like forum games @@). So maybe how we have a check box at the bottom of the thread, maybe a check box to have it notified of us there of replies? That way people don't get like spam notified of like forum games or threads that have as high priority as others do. Maybe even an option to pin up to your notification tab up at the top of thread too like the subscribe button is."

CasualPessimist (#41056) : "Kinda related to #1, I think? What about a quoting feature? Like, whenever someone wanted to reply to you, they would quote you, and it would give you a notification in the "games notifications" section of your inbox~ I have no idea if this would be complicated to code, and I can't really think of any complications it could cause, but it would definitely be cool, haha~ xD"

Lia-Lin - {I.R.I.S} (#36246) : "What about an option to delete comments. Like, if you posted on someones WIP thread, and they needed the space you commented in, you could delete your comment? Instead of just deleting the message in it."



This suggestion has 189 supports and 7 NO supports.

Hm, these seem like they can be handy, especially the double post ones! They already have it set that you can't send the same message over and over in private messages so why not boards?

For #1, can the notification messages for the Update topics tab be customized? I subscribe to A LOT of threads and not all of them need to notify me of every response (especially like forum games @@). So maybe how we have a check box at the bottom of the thread, maybe a check box to have it notified of us there of replies?

That sounds like a look idea! I know what your talking about, too, so I'll add that up!

^^ I thought about that too, but I wasn't sure how to word it

I'll add that up!

I don't know how much coding it would take for #4, but it could just be easier on the Mods and such to have a 'delete this post' button. Something next to 'edit your post' so you could easily and manualy get rid of an extra post. It would be a good addition with or withough the #4 suggestion if you post "I like Bananas" and then you bump the delete button and try to reply "I like banana" and suddenly you have a double post but the #4 coding didn't catch it due to a small difference.
(But total support :) )

The #4 coding things is supposed to catch if you've already sent a message or if you are trying to post another too closely timed to the next (spam previous if you will). If you (slightly) change the message, it should still work (?). I'm not too sure.

Anyhow, would a "merge posts" button work? The deleting feature is used by the Mods for various reasons, so I figured a "merge posts" button ought to work. If you double post and merge them together, both your original message and the double will be in the same post, so you could edit the new post and delete the excess

Is that what you meant?

Other forums I frequent, if you double post it merges the posts.

For #4, I've seen some places only allow one post every 30 seconds or so to prevent double posting.

^^ That's basically what I was thinking, something along those lines
