LanaBoards 2.0 Suggestions

[TRENCH 15,450]

I think what concerns me is that for the last couple of years people have asked for a lot of things (especially new themes that were supposed to be put in since NFR ) but i don't really ever see them  be implemented; idk if its a lack of manpower or if those suggestions are just not able to be implemented in the first place due to Invision

i actually did some research yesterday and i think it's the first thing (and maybe also just not having enough time since everyone has day jobs & needs to sleep nn)

is there anyway to make it so that gifs don't have to have a miniscule file size to be made a profile pic?

unfortunately, I don’t think so. however, you can go on ezgif and compress the gif and change the dimensions and that drastically changes the file size without losing too much quality

there are third party apps that can make websites dark themed but they aren’t that great. maybe you can find one that works alright?

Hey y'all. I have a suggestion. My suggestion calls for a possible even more restricted version of the ignore list that won't even give you the temptation to open someone's posts when you see them. I love this website, and I really don't want to leave, but I feel upset and angry sometimes and under attack by certain members constantly. I would really love if the ignore list could remove that option to open up someone's posts when you're viewing a thread. I also think this option would bring a lot of people back. Hope that makes sense. @Elle @cinnamongirI @ultrabanisters @fishtails

What you are describing isn't possible on the Invision forum software. The only thing that might be of help is a browser extension that disables html commands, but that would greatly reduce the forums usability to you.

Once you place someone on your ignore list, it's up to you to not engage and practise self control. If users are causing you grief you can report the posts or you could consider logging off.

What if there was 2 teams of mods? A smaller more focused group, maybe of OG mods, who can safely discern what content is suitable for the Major topics, and a second team more focused on Rule enforcement in other parts of the site, like Music for example? Maybe it could be less burdensome to our new mods?

ooh i like this idea. separate teams being focused on certain areas would reduce their stress. ESPECIALLY with the Pre-release thread discource.

im all for this

I miss when I could see if/when people I follow are online. I don't really see the point of following users anymore. Is it possible to bring it back, or did it go away for all eternity after the big update?

Is it possible to change the forum theme? There is poor contrast with the background and light text in the header/footer areas.

if you scroll to the bottom of the webpage you can click on “themes” to bring up a drop-down menu of some options! other than those any other changes would probably require browser extensions

We need better options for hug gifs/emotes
All we have is this one  and it's honestly too happy for some situations where I could use a hug emote

lanaboards needs https, at least for the login. sending the password via http is extremely insecure (especially for admins).

Hosting images natively likely adds cost. Another message board I used to post on had image upload limits, so users couldn’t spam upload, but it forced you to only upload smaller images or routinely delete old ones. 
 

I personally don’t mind not having the ability to upload images. It would probably get unintentionally spammy if everyone could “instantly” upload images. This board is pretty clean the way it is without images clogging up threads.
