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
