The new site has been active for about a month now so I wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions for improvements. There is the site feedback thread, but that is new, and some folks might not care enough to create a new thread, so I figured a new thread in here would be a good place to get feedback.
A few items that I am already working on or are on the horizon:
- I really dislike the post editor, the software I am using (ckeditor) is good for basic tasks, but it's too opionated and bloated to customize easily. I've found a few possible replacements that I will be evaluating over the next few weeks. The main thing I'd like to improve on is the image posting functionality, allowing you to post directly from your computer as well as posting from links.
- I am working on a notice/announcement feature that will display announcements at the top of every page if the need arises.
- I am planning on updating polls so that it will be easier to do tournament-style polling. You can currently select single choice or multiple choice. I will add an additional option for tournaments, that will pair options together, and only one per pair can be selected (preventing dlazz from selecting every option in the poll).
- I will update reps/negs soon so that you can add a message (required for negs) that can be viewed by the user you are leaving it for.
- Eventually I will add the ability to tag users in a post so they will get a notification that they were mentioned (dependent on the first item in this list). I also want to send notifications if your post is quoted by someone.
That is all I can think of now. Please let me know if you have any suggestions not on this list.
