Bug reports, known issues, wishlists

maybe i just have turbo autism but imo the forum rules link that looks like Forum Rules. should instead, imo, be Forum Rules. the period is not part of the phrase...

also i know this is a huge ask (i will literally code one for you guys for free if you want, its what i do for a living) but a wysiwig markdown editor would be cool to have and intuitive since everyone uses discord. or even just the option to use markdown

1. I second letting classpectAnon help, there are way too few devs for a forum as it is.

2. The signup form is weird, making way too many requests per keypress even if the relevant fields don't change. Check the developer network tab if you don't believe me.

3. A bit of a security report. I think it's possible, with enough time, to extract all the user emails from the site by using the seemingly not rate limited valid email endpoint. This is a common problem and, while it might be too late, I think the actual solution for small sites nowadays is to only allow oauth signups with a google/discord/twitter account or whatever, let them handle the scrapers.

1) please fix the trashing posts thing. NOBODY can do it afaik
2) full markdown support in profiles like hyperlinks and headings
3) also either replying akin to 4chan boards, or a quoting system akin to reddit (where you preface your message with > and can reply to it in that manner)

wishlist: the ability to follow users and follow topics!!!

possible to add different ways to sort threads (sort by new, replies, last reply, views, etc.)?

just want to say first that i love the website so far and think its so cool and looks really good ❤️❤️❤️ i love the fruit and captcha cards sm. i have one question which may be really stupid, but is there a way to delete your account? i promise im not actually trying to immediately leave lol (i was considering changing my username last night which is why i was looking into it) i just don't see the option anywhere

bug report: the age listed under the pfp seems to be off by one year: i put my birth year as 2007 (18 years) but it says 19

e-mail verification seems unreliable with gmail. i haven't gotten a verification email for an account i created using gmail even after an hour (no, it's not in the junk/spam folder!), but outlook instantly received the mail.

@scout:

1) please advise people to report their posts to request for a mod trash/lock them in the meantime.

2 and 3 are covered topics, but to be brief, i have already made my case to cami regarding adding an option for text formatting alongside rich text (bbcode would be my preference personally), and replying is one of the top content priorities atm

@calware:

while the user cannot, a name change can be done by request. i have asked if username changing privileges can become accessible to mods to help get them done efficiently. as for account deletion, i am not sure how we will handle these requests yet but i can get back on that when more of the team wakes up 🫡

whitespace doesnt get trimmed before checking character count meaning you can easily bypass the minimum character limit entirely and set totally blank display names/pronouns/etc

also custom smileys would be pretty rad

@cytochrome

shoulda read all the replies before i posted mine, my bad! just posted a few typos that i regret, nothing worth reporting.

@mezu

also experiencing the issue with gmail, had to make an alt account using protonmail

otherwise, works great so far!

another request i have, which i can’t remember if someone put here, is the ability to block people. that simple ability will prevent 95% of flame wars from happening.

same, tried removing the dot from the email but it still doesn't work. -2 accounts ig lmao

I second what other users before me have asked for already.

I think it would be really nice if there was a repository where we could help out with tickets and reports and such. I'm sure there are plenty webdevs here (myself included) who could lend a hand, and given the collaborative nature of the platform itself it doesn't seem unreasonable to extend that to web developers. Also, it would be much less work for the actual team to review community PRs than implement every feature and bugfix by themselves.

`from the discord:

> You might also be waiting a while for the confirmation email, the devs have to fix something when they wake up.`

time to wait. i think google might be blocking the emails from being recieved, as they are pretty strict in their mail validation.

Wishlist: Site skins

A small little thing is that I think it’s cute when you are allowed to show month/day of your birth as a third option beside “the whole thing” or “none of it” I like to see that and go aaa yay happy birthday yaknow??

(also i had no idea markdown was so popular over bbcode. i may use discord but I fight with markdown constantly >.> it destroys old emoticons and using *this* to denote actions yaknow)

i'd like to second the feature suggestion of an ability to block/hide users. it would also be nice to have more text formatting options, especially color, hyperlinks, and quoting other users' posts
