Another debate icon I would love is one indicating if the user viewing the listing has already voted on a debate (perhaps just a green check mark?).

This would be useful for crazies like me who vote a lot in avoiding looking at them again. And it would be useful to normal people who might like to see how the voting is going and if they've been mentioned at all.

Hi, thanks, I already know about this issue and I try to reproduce it locally but it's not easy. I will try to fix it as soon as I figure out why it happens.

Here's my idea...

Could we have a small window screen on the main page with a list of all debates in the voting stage?

That way finished debates can be easily assessed an voted on.



Also to encourage voting, you could have like a point system of something.

A daily streak!

Log in everyday, and vote every third day to keep your streak!



Would something like that work?

Well you could just filter by "voting" status if you need to, https://www.debateart.com/debates?_utf8=%E2%9C%93&status=voting&order=.

Also P.S. there are medals related to voting p.s.

Is there anywhere you can highlight whenever a Bold, Italic, Underline, Unordered list and Ordered list is being used?

It is kinda difficult to judge whether or not my next comment after an underline or bold comment will also be bold. 

This is an inconvenience by the way.

Quote doesn't have to be given a box opens up which people should be aware of.

This one should be easy enough, I will check it, thanks.

Now sure I understand you here, could you please elaborate?

Had it mixed up with link.

I don't think quote needs to be highlighted whenever it is being used.

How likely is a dark mode feature?

I have tried alternatives but they are crap.

Do you have a date as well?

Before clicking on any forum it looks like this:


Missing out the parts of the left because it isn't relevant.

The 1st line is basically the title of the forum post. The second line I would assume be the author of the thread itself but it is the author of the most recent comment. I think it should be changed to something like recent commenter because I think the author generally refers to the person who created a body of work not speaking about someone in that work that isn't the author of the work. You can of course add 4 lines like this:

Creator: DebateArt.com
Recent commenter: TheRealNihilist
Latest comment: 2 hours ago

Oh yeah, I know the author refers to the most recent commenter because you created the thread not me.

Dark mode will take some time, I am not sure how much though. Frankly I am feeling a bit burnt-out so the process has slowed down too.

Regarding your comment about the authors' link, that's a good one, I will think about changing that, thanks!

On the leaderboard, can you add a feature to where you can tell who's online just by looking at the leaderboard?

Hi, yeah, I remember you already mentioned it. Can you elaborate please on why you need to know who is online? Because maybe there is a better way to implement it once I am familiar with the specific use case.

Maybe so he can find someone to talk to or something.

But also maybe we could have a button that says "Find Me" on the leaderboard, that way you can easily find yourself!

I am also noticing that when you are on your personal profile page, when you click on Forum or Leaderboard, it takes you into a new tab versus shifting the old tab
