[QUOTE=Siemz;48155616]I know it's probably said a billion times but a true notification system for example when someone quotes you would be pretty nice. I know there's something a like but it'd be really easy to be honest..[/QUOTE] I really like this idea. I'll ask the webmonkey if it's feasible.
I would say we should make it so if it's a user's birthday, they have a little title or something, but then people would just change their birthday all the time
[QUOTE=Glitchman;48156124]I would say we should make it so if it's a user's birthday, they have a little title or something, but then people would just change their birthday all the time[/QUOTE] You can't change your birthday, though, can you?
[QUOTE=Glitchman;48156124]I would say we should make it so if it's a user's birthday, they have a little title or something, but then people would just change their birthday all the time[/QUOTE] Give that user a party hat on their avatar, similar to what 4chan does now and then on pictures
[QUOTE=gastyne;48156132]You can't change your birthday, though, can you?[/QUOTE] If people can change their gender irl, then what CAN'T we do?!
[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;48156104]I really like this idea. I'll ask the webmonkey if it's feasible.[/QUOTE] I feel listened to [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/heart.png[/IMG] It's just so often that you accidentally forget to check on that one thread, then 3 days - a week or even later you find out, and then replying would be bumping so you just let it go, but I think a notification system would really improve a lot of stuff. (and help threads from going dead).

Think Swebonny's effect but multicolored and only around the name so it isn't TOO crazy [editline]9th July 2015[/editline] Maybe hovering over the name says that it's their birthday so it explains it
just tie the ticker notification system in to chrome notifications also what tobin said -- bring back film and tv as well as creationism corner
none of the subforums are gonna make a return
[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48156202]just tie the ticker notification system in to chrome notifications also what tobin said -- bring back film and tv as well as creationism corner[/QUOTE] and automotive addicts
[QUOTE=Limed00d;48156212]none of the subforums are gonna make a return[/QUOTE] not doubting that there weren't ones just taking up space -- all i'm saying is add film and tv/creationism corner to the facepunch section and that's that also maybe make photoshop contests a section in CC, i know it was dead but it was always a fucking riot and it feels weird making those threads in GD id actually really like to see chat threads come back -- GD has been full of them since that section first got removed [editline]9th July 2015[/editline] i mean CC was here for years and had plenty of good threads and posts in it and being made -- there's no real reason it should have been deleted
[QUOTE=Limed00d;48156212]none of the subforums are gonna make a return[/QUOTE] Nor will a two-columned front page come back.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48156156]I'd be also be all in for a notification system that just drops down. Maybe something like this? [IMG]http://kiwime.me/files/st/rough_note.PNG[/IMG] [IMG]http://kiwime.me/files/st/not_unread.png[/IMG] rough ideas but here's my 2 cents and obviously in the stock skin used by when you click "more" not the fp skin im using[/QUOTE] Maybe something simple would do it [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/xCqMjBS.png[/IMG] Which will lead you to : -a sec [editline]9th July 2015[/editline] Well basically - instead of going paint / edit some html - a page like your inbox but instead of the message it shows : [QUOTE] $username has [B]replied[/B] to your [I]post[/I] on #Thread title# # Your comment about a lot of dogs who tog.... # < clickable #"Example of someone who replied to you...."# < clickable >click = direct link to the quoted post. [/QUOTE] Bold = go to reply Italic = go to your post
[QUOTE=Tobin;48156071]So it's been a while since the forum removal and I remember a mod saying that if it didn't work out it'd be changed back. It obviously isn't working out, GD is a shithole and the single-column looks awful. Will it be changed back? A few forums like the Creationism Corner and MS Paint I visited a lot and most of the threads in them are just gone.[/QUOTE] General Discussion turned into a shithole? The creative subforum would be nice to have back but what's the point in bringing back the rest? It isn't like General Discussion is swamped with posts in the way sensationalist headlines is.
So when will [noparse] [del [/del] [/noparse] get added to the post editor?
Notification system would be much appreciated. Right now, if I want to go look at responses to my post, I have to go to my profile and view latest posts, and then go to that post, and then scroll down and look for people who responded to it. Complete pain in the ass. Also, dunno if this has been discussed before, but any plans for a tiered profile message page? If you go to someone's profile it's just a bunch of disconnected messages and you have to click "view conversation" to even know what the conversation's about. Nesting your replies and making a comment thread on profile comments would make it way easier to follow conversations between profiles. Something like "Starpluck -> BDA" and then the comment, posted only on BDA's profile unless BDA responds, and then the conversation is on both profiles with BDA's reply nested under Starpluck's original profile message. Probably way too much work since nobody uses profile messages, but it'd look way nicer than the completely disjointed messages and the tiny "View Conversation" button.
Creepy revenge fantasy posts in SH should be bannable. The sort of stuff after a horrible murder happens and a bunch of super angry grr people are all like 'THEY SHOULD BE TORTURED TO DEATH' 'HOPE THEY GET RAPED IN PRISON' 'GRR IM SO ANGRY CUT THEIR DICKS OFF'
When clicking on the "See last post" button on the homepage or in any subforum, and the last post was automerged, it sends me to the first post of the thread, on the first page. Can this be fixed?

The sort of stuff after a horrible murder happens and a bunch of super angry grr people are all like 'THEY SHOULD BE TORTURED TO DEATH' 'HOPE THEY GET RAPED IN PRISON' 'GRR IM SO ANGRY CUT THEIR DICKS OFF'[/QUOTE] it basically makes any thread where somebody is killed a death penalty debate because [I]inevitably[/I] someone posts "these people should be strapped to the electric chair and simultaneously castrated with a hot knife while their head is torn off by a tiger"
I don't actually have an issue with death penalty being debated at all in these threads, because realistically that's pretty much the only real discussion possible I those threads. I just would rather it was done in a more mature, less angry and creepy way.

A few forums like the Creationism Corner and MS Paint I visited a lot and most of the threads in them are just gone.[/QUOTE] Anyone with higher up authority will tell anybody that "if it doesn't work it'll be reverted" to end the conversation, it doesn't mean it's ever going to happen. Idk why everyone gets their hopes up when someone says it, it's said all the time you might as well say "probably not, but whatever if someone mentions it we'll discuss about it i guess", it's pointless to let people dread and assume that shit will make a return in the future. GD is a cluttered mess, I really think honestly chat should make a return, that was great.
Could we have a multi-quote button, or a script that would check if there already isn't a quote invoked and which would paste the previous quote and reply to the newly invoked quote window? Being able to more conveniently quote multiple people while talking about the same thing without having to manually copy and paste would save some broken merges and generally it would be less paint in ass.
Besides the removal of ratings in SH which I'd like back (For aformentioned reasons), there's something else I'd like to suggest for SH. The ability to sub-divide or filter threads based upon the topic perhaps by using the already existing thread titles like "POLITICS", "SCIENCE", "XBOX", etc. It'd be a cleaner approach to SH akin to how most news outlets sub-divide topics. Its a minor suggestion in my opinion as I find it not [I]that[/I] hard to look through SH for certain threads of interest. Considering SH gets about as much traffic in one day to fill up the entire first page of the sub-forum, I'd suggest it.

Also, at one point quite long ago, Facepunch had a TON of little custom community sub forums. Is that out of question? Something a bit like *whispers* subreddits, with the people establishing them being themselves responsible for moderating them. The whole places could still be held for certain standard (obviously, mainly legal), and if some particular ones turned out to be infeasible or their "minor mods" inept, they could be simply closed down and banned. It would resolve the issues with places like Creationism Corner and maybe even SH.

robotboy said it wouldn't happen while FP is still on vbulliten
I remember the whole custom forum thing being discussed in January after the subforum removals and nothing ever coming of it anyway

Guest starring a firm belief that any sentence shorter than seven years might as well be staying over the weekend.
