[QUOTE=fruxodaily;48176138]With the tagging system and I know it's just an idea rn, it'd be good if it uses a #hashtag system and it's all user contributed so #TV #Movies #Music #Advice #Chat etc[/QUOTE] I would absolutely hate to see people using hashtags in their posts. I get enough of it off Facebook and Twitter, don't take my only refuge away from me. On some forums, I've seen you be able to set tags in a little box when creating the thread, I think this would be a much more appealing way, instead of having people spam their posts with hashtags to get as much coverage as possible. Another idea might be only being able to have a single tag, and have that show up before the thread name (like solved threads in DD). OR, and this is just a crazy idea, why don't we use the system that's already in place for showing what the thread is about using a sort of tagging system: The post icon! It would be a lot more appealing to use post icons properly if they were organised somewhat.
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;48176161]is it possible to have a notification for when people mention you with an @ symbol or if your name is typed or your post is quoted? The typed mention would need to be a toggle feature tho bc there's users with simple usernames who appear as mentioned all the time[/QUOTE] Post is quoted? Yes. Otherwise there'd have to be modifications on Robotboy's end to the ticker because otherwise I'd have to scrape every single new post with another embedded iframe just to check if a name was mentioned and getting this single iframe setup was a pain enough. The reason I can check if a post was quoted is because the ticker gives a special notification if you are quoted and I can scrape that in the single iframe I use.

[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48177599]a method of organizing threads/tweets about something[/QUOTE] You mean we need another way of organising individual posts apart from the thread they are in, the forum the thread is in, and the category the forum is in? Hashtags arel used when posting content relevant to a topic, just like we post content to the relevant thread. Facebook wasn't built to organise content per topic, but rather by user, that's why they added the hashtag, but we don't have that problem so why use the solution to a problem we don't have?

[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48177666]thread icons are mainly cosmetic -- several threads just have any irrelevant post icon just because the oerson making them made the thread in haste also most of the icons are bad looking[/QUOTE] We have a better way of organizing than going down the twitter route, so lets do that instead.
[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48177666]thread icons are mainly cosmetic -- several threads just have any irrelevant post icon just because the oerson making them made the thread in haste also most of the icons are bad looking[/QUOTE] That's a problem with the people who use it, not the system itself. And if you think the icons are bad looking, show us you can do something better maybe?

Why are so many spambots getting through registration? Isn't there a captcha setting for registrations? Recaptcha would be a good one (this thing [T]https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/images/hero-recaptcha-demo.gif[/T])

Thread icons could really use a refresh, open submissions for them would be cool
[QUOTE=WitheredGryphon;48167517]Progress on notifications [t]http://i.imgur.com/ocSgEOY.png[/t] It's still in progress though, but it can pull a notification for literally anything that happens in the ticker now. Anything mentioning a thread (bans, DDTs, mentions, etc.) have a clickable link to the thread in the notification. Only downside is that as of now it keeps displaying old Toast notifications along with new ones. It's also somewhat buggy with pulling certain events on the first pass, but it picks them all up on the second pass. Other than that I should have it done so then will release the script.[/QUOTE] I made something [url=https://github.com/nanderson94/FPAutoUpdate]similar to this[/url] a year or so ago. It's a huge hack-job with the script trying to make sure each tab is not pulling data at the same time.

Tampermonkey is too damn limited, everything is a hackjob with it though :v:

I don't plan on updating it, and your script looks much nicer so far.
Well one thing that's different from mine that I'm not even sure if I could improve upon is my script can only be active while you are on FP, cause like BDA said you have to be "viewing" the ticker for it to update. So anything that goes unread while FP is closed stays untracked.

Also then desktop "tickers" could be a thing, along with mobile apps. But the closest we had were either third party servers scraping, or Labpunch
Alright I sort of lied, I realized it can run but only so long as the browser is open. It also only tracks updates as far as 30 minutes back to prevent Tampermonkey from crashing itself. But yeah I'd have to scrape with my own server and track it on that server then pull from it with Tampermonkey if I wanted to consistently track changes (and even then it'd require too much of a hassle creating a login system). A FP API would ultimately be the best solution

Speaking of tags on threads. It might just be easier to allow people to place tags much like you do on tumblr at the bottom of the post that way custom things can pop up.

[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48177693]lock threads for wrong icon[/QUOTE] That's a bad idea for two reasons: * Threads may need to be made where none of the available icons would match. * Some threads may deliberately use what mods would consider the "wrong" icon because it actually works for the thread (see: the Fallout thread using the Politics icon) and some mod who isn't familiar with what the thread's about might not get it
