SRK RELAUNCH - Feedback/Question Thread

[appo]

You can use this thread to ask Questions or give Feedback about the Discourse Forum/SRK Relaunch.
Thx for keeping the forum alive!

Edit: Collected wishes from the Community

1. Boxed avatars. Circular avatars is too much like google and instagram and all of that social media crap.

2. Bigger avatars. Tiny ass avatars isn’t cutting it and again projects the image of new era social media minimalist layout. Especially since discourse allows gif avatars there’s no point if they’re so bitch tiny you can barely see what’s going on in the gif. The avatar sizes would be passable on mobile with boxed avatars, but on the computer it’s ridiculous.

3. Pages. Although some things about discourse allow you to technically search through threads faster than pages did, pages still bring a bit of organization and chapter to where things on. Just instinctively being on forums for so long, people tend to better remember certain events that happened based on the page they were on, rather than the exact post.

4. (Especiallly on mobile) Upscrolling through threads should allow you to see more posts. It’s really stupid that scrolling up only loads up 10 extra posts. For a forum that has infinite scrolling it kinda brings up the old 5 page only problem from Vanilla where you’ll just be scrolling all day to view stuff that you don’t already have loaded down below. This site doesn’t use up enough resource to only load 10 posts with an up scroll. On mobile it’s absolutely ridiculous. It’s more like you can infinitely scroll downwards, but don’t even bother scrolling upwards ATM.

5. Themed backgrounds. Other discourse sites have background images from different games and such that you can lay over the background of the forum. Much nicer to look at and gives the forum more personality than black or white space.

6. Signatures.

7. Reaction icons with text underneath. Nothing like having the old reaction icons with random shit underneath like “Marvelous or Sit Down”. Adds a lot more personality to the forum. Hearts for upvote with no text is way too much social media mirroring and the whole point of the forum is to get away from that.

8. Character limit for posts is too short. I haven’t actually gotten to the character limit for posts, but from what I’m hearing others say it seems to be too short.

9. Allow for multiple enter spaces inbetween lines/paragraphs. Right now you can’t space your paragraphs if you want to add some extra wording that is off thought/topic from what you were talking about. Everything has to be fitted together like a book.

10. PLEASE add sub catergories/forums for EACH CHARACTER in character discussions for SFV and other games if possible. At minimum it would be very important for SFV since that still had active discussion in some of the threads until the migration. Right now the only category for SFV Character Discussion is “Character Discussion” which is generic and basically throws every character thread ever for SFV into one big ass subforum. Just a spam of threads criss crossing all over the place.

11. Please up the data limit for gifs/jpegs. (at least 15MBs or something higher) Uploading gifs to show reactions or a quick shot of tech for a game was a key thing for the forums in Vanilla and the 3MB limit pretty much excludes using any gif that last longer than 3 seconds or has any quality to it at all.

any chance for implementing sites again?
20-40 per page like it used to be.
the endless scrolling is especially in large threads a chore

[appo]

i cant edit the tekken dojo thread anymore. any chance to change that?

[Iduno]

The forum is impossible to navigate now please bring back pages instead of this infine scrolling mess.

[appo]

“You’ve reached the maximum number of edits today. Please wait 19 hours before trying again.”

why is there even a edit limit?
trying to fix the mess caused do the transition on the dbfz dojo thread…
btw, i dont have access to the tekken dojo thread for whatever reason.

Looks like that works.

[Preppy]

Could you clarify the problem that you’re running into?

[pootnannies]

is there any way to implement the “rise up”, “insightful”, etc… for posts? that gave the community more personality. i’m not really sure if that’s already implemented and i don’t know how to use it. all i see right now is a “like” heart button.

[Aquashark]

pagination please…

[appo]

send you a private message.

[Darc_Requiem]

Does anyone know what the character limit is for posts? Appo was nice enough to help me with my spoiler problem. I think I may be able to fix my Character Concept thread after all.

[Preppy]

OK, I’ve enabled editing of old posts now. You can now edit a post forever.

[Darc_Requiem]

Thanks. That explains why it let me fiddle with my old OP. I didn’t let me initially. You are the man Albert Clifford.

Private message chains maxed out at 500 and closes automatically, any way to reopen them?

Also, add me to the list of complainers to infinite scrolling, the forum moves so slowly on my computer and is very resource heavy because of this. And each time it live load messages, it spams my history list too. Really wish a bare basic theme is available for the new forum. Give users a choice between hip new shit or efficient old shit.

Please how can we get pages back?
