Whatever you do as Artesticles mentioned leave the option for someone to revert to the non optimized site.  I know that you know my feeling there and I always revert back to the regular version.

And for the record 50/50 laptop/iPad.  Never mobile.

I'm hoping to have an overhaul of the boards done by the time of conference play. Trying to lock in a new developer which has taken longer than expected.

A few things I'm looking to add

1. Responsive design. This means the forum will adapt to whatever you're on (Computer, tablet, mobile) and optimize width and font size for that device.
2. Mentions- Adapting a twitter style to respond to other posters. Ex. @MarcoBaldi That is nonsense! This would prompt a notification to Marco Baldi to let him know someone responded to his post.
3. Notifications- As mentioned in previous mentions you'd receive notifications much like Facebook letting you know activity based around your posts. You'd be able to opt to receive an email or simply a notification within the forum that you can click to.
4. Likes/Dislikes- Kind of like the old Karma we used to have for the forum but this would be more towards the message than the poster. So if you agree you'd hit like and after X amount of dislikes the post would go red letting everyone know your post was ridiculous.
5. Topics- You'd be able to select a button when making a new topic to preview what your post is about. Ex. RUMOR- Lavin going back to using hair gel or PREDICTIONS- At Georgetown
6. Enhanced Quick Reply- The ability to add emojis, change font size, weight, color within quick reply

Post by: JohnnyJungle on November 28, 2014, 01:33:10 AM
Started to implement some things tonight.

You can tag people in posts Example: @Tha Kid (http://johnnyjungle.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2) - You can see your mentions by hovering over 'profile' at the top of page.

There is a new like/dislike button for every post. If a post receives 20 dislikes...poof it disappears. (I may toggle with this number)

Social Groups (You can view this in the header) - I'm still messing around with this but you can create/join different groups. "Lavin Lovers" or "D-Lo's Dudes" or "New Coach Search Committee"

New quick reply with tool bar (Let me know if you guys like this or is it too busy?)

Similar topics - With new topic categories coming soon this will help link opponent threads and recruiting a lot better

Ads are fine.  I respect that this is a business of sorts.  But an ad that expands and drops the page halfway down is a pain in the ass.  A static ad on the top of the page is fine but these dynamic things no sir.

They expand when you're reading right? Even though you don't touch them? Same thing happens to me. It disorients the page and is a real pain in the ass. 

If it can't be changed that's whatever but if they can be changed to differnt ads that would be real swell.
