I just want an easy way to share YouTube videos... It's 2019 almost 2020 peeps! :ermm:

:teehee: :" border="0" alt="blushing.gif" />

I wonder if the previous way will remain with the html thing, [you][/know] ?

It would be good to have "New Threads" listed somewhere prominent. Just would be a nice feature & cool way visitors can be aware of them, quickly.  Some, for example, somewhere in Entertainment people would know about them sooner than, maybe discovering them by accident, who knows when.  Obviously, they would not stay listed there forever, a month, 2 weeks, maybe... Clicking on a listing would take one to that thread.  This would help new threads be noticed and used.

Anyway, maybe y'all will agree, it's a brilliant idea/suggestion.

Cheers,
Drew

Can specific post URLs, still, be grabbed somehow, somewhere? Used to > top-right corner of a post, Rt Clk & grab its, individual, URL (link).

Just click the part that says "Posted 6 hours ago" and it will take you to that direct post, where you can copy the URL. Or the share icon at the top right of the post (looks similar to a < symbol) will let you copy the link without going to the post itself.

People grow accustom to the familiar, or may visit without looking around at much besides their usual stomping grounds.  Ergo, they miss, not notice a new thread and that thread may be of interest to them.  With the above in mind, there should be a "What's New" (or better name) section.  Would be very cool to bring people's attention to exciting additions to our Forum.  They might participate in a recently introduced thread sooner if they were aware of it sooner because any with listed together.  It would be very cool & add a neat dynamic to the Forum letting Folks know about developments as they happen... instead of sometime, maybe.  Or go with the obvious and call it, the section, "New Threads" 🤣

Anyway, there, that's my (good) suggestion.  Nothing wrong with making the place even better than it already is, eh?

Understand, it is not new, actual, threads all grouped together.  It is a list, a mention of them or any; a person, still, goes to the, actual, fitting, location.  That doesn't change, of course.

Sure wouldn't be the 1st site with a What's New section... Hey, I never said it was a novel idea 😊 or even an original one 😂


Cheers,
Drew

^ You can see  new unread content by clicking on the link near the top right of the forum 'Unread Content"

 

https://idolforums.com/discover/unread/

 

there is no need to make threads that say there are threads to go look at, the forum is not that large and generally people browse what they are interested in

 

if you are concerned about activity on your threads, put a small link in your signature to your threads if you want :thumbs:

I wonder if it's possible to increase the limit in our inboxes. With the format of the new forum, our sent messages are all saved by default and the only way to delete them is to delete an entire conversation, so I've noticed my inbox is filling up with messages far quicker than it used to. It's especially frustrating when you're in multiple rankdowns at once. :haha:

Hey, is it possible to consider a Dark Theme option for the forum? My eyes hurt a little when I use it at night. It's all to white. I did the brightness ajustments on my screens, etc, but still... 


I'm not sure if it is an option or not (hopefully @Tom can let us know), but I like this idea as well. :yes: I always use the dark mode on my phone at night.

Bring back the Shameless Self-Promotion forum or at least a (bleep) advertising section. I understand there has been an issue with spammers and I’m not one of them.

 

I will definitely (bleep) appreciate it. I recently retired as a webmaster after 21 years.

unfortunately you are one of the spammers, advertising your site in random threads, status updates etc, some of your content has been removed

Just installed what I think was the best dark theme available. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, expand the "Theme" menu and select Bravo 6.

 

It seems to work fine for me, but if you (or anyone else) notices issues using it, please let me know.

I can't find where to switch it, I don't see a theme menu thing 

 

edit: tried clearing cookies and still don't see it, I use chrome though
