It's okay, thank you! Usually changing words is extremely easy but sometimes it gets a bit more complicated :) I just want to remove all eye soreness for the native speakers and can't do it myself 'cause I am not one of them :)

Adding comments to members profiles would be a nice feature.

Hello and thanks for the feedback.I will think about adding profile comments but I am not sure about this one, it needs some thinking because it can easily be abused. But we'll think about it, that's for sure. As I mentioned somewhere, I will add a link to your profile page inside the office so that's not gonna be a problem to access it. Also I will a way to find the user's debates, forum posts and so on from his or her page, because it's missing now as well.

Care for Trans People

Change the word Sex to Gender.

Add the option "gender fluid" and keep the option to not specify.

May I make a suggestion?

Whenever I click on a notification, it only brings me to the thread. Is there a chance you can change this so that when we click on a specific notification, it brings us directly to the post it is referencing?

2) Added a way to jump to the last page of the forum topic

How? Navigating to a thread always takes me to the first page. Can't find a way to open a thread to its most recent page. This, and the absence of a quote button on people's posts so that I have to copy and paste quotes manually, are a couple of my worse inconveniences right now. Which means things are going pretty good.

@Castin

Yeah, so the default behaviour is to open the first page, which in my opinion the most expected behaviour. But, I have added this "Show recent" link at the top of the topic to jump straight to the last page so that should be a bit more convenient. I may add this tiny pagination after each topic in the topics list to be able to open the last page straight from there, but not sure if it's gonna look nice, but I guess we'll see.

Regarding the quotes and the like, I know that's far from perfect but I also promise to tackle this issue at some point but can't give any time estimations.

The "show recent" button actually isn't much use to me if it's inside the thread. It would be much more helpful if the option was available from the topics viewlist like you said. Then I wouldn't have to load the first page and then load the last page. I could just load the last page.

As for looking nice: on most sites, you can click on the thread title to be taken to its first page, but you can also click on the thread's last post and be taken directly to the most recent page. DDO did this, for example. Would that be doable? I would think it's just a matter of adding a link to the information displayed in the Last Post column.

As always, thanks for the responsiveness. I know you have a lot of things to do. I hope you'll find some more members with the knowledge to help you out with all this. I find HTML and CSS tedious, myself.

That is actually brilliant, I don't know how I missed it. I will push it with the next release :) Thanks for the idea!

I have no idea how it works. Some people managed to paste some emojis and weird signs so it's a grey area for me haha

I don't know if anyone else already said these, but can you add a "Friends" feature and a "Block" feature between users?

Also can you make the profile picture on our profile pages slightly larger?

these are super trivial so feel free to disregard lol

Hi! Yeah, both features will be there, not sure when though, hopefully soon.

I could play with it, sure :)

he just wants us to see tiddies. May I suggest that a quote feature that allows you to quote things the post I'm replying to itself quoted? Like in this post it's not obvious that you didn't ask for the larger profile picture so that you could show off your boobs.

Could be that images made out of keystrokes and special characters can be copied because they still count as text. But a picture is not text, and the text window won't recognize it. There are a lot of forum sites that let you paste images though. It can be done.

Yeah, he said he hasn't gotten around to the quote feature yet, but he will.

New changes:

As many of you requested, It's now possible to edit forum posts. But it's possible to do so only in the next 5 minutes after post's creation and there is no way to change the list of mentioned people so here's that. Also it may have some bugs that I missed so let me know if you find something :)

PS I promised to add a way to jump to the last page of the forum topic straight from the list view but I am afraid it will be released only tomorrow.

can you change the private message thing so that new messages automatically pop up if you’re already in the chat? It’s a little inconvenient to refresh the page over and over in the middle of a conversation

Yeah it will be working like this eventually, unfortunately it involves some amount of work to make it real time but it's not that complicated, so maybe next week or the week after the next one :)

Some small changes:

1) Removed the "Show recent" link and added pagination to the topics top right corner, it should be a bit more flexible this way.

2) Now it's possible to click on timestamps in the "last post" columns and it would take you straight to the last page from the categories or topics list.

Suggestions I have in mind so far:
-The ability to add someone as a friend

-The ability to block someone

-To be able to go to the recent post of a thread like in DDO.

Fixing:
-College is spelled wrong

This site has a lot of potential and I am excited to see all the other features this site has to offer.
