This probably doesn't affect S&I too much, but people who intensely forum such as on OT would really like some of these changes.
1) Allow a built in siggy automator- This is an extremely common sight in forums, and practically everyone in OT has a particularly witty line or two that describes themselves. On the other hand, it would be wonderful if this siggy automator had a restricted limit to it- I've seen people with copy pasted ASC II pictures and they stretch their comment so far down- it's so damn annoying.
2) Allow a better text editing: Yep, another common sight in forums. You've often got a choice of font, italics, bold, underline, maybe even a few text colors. The beauty in this is a person might have a way of editing their text that makes their typing truly unique.
3) Give the forums some color! I know, the people who are on here quite often like I am have began to hold the shades of blue dear to us, but even a subtle season theme having to do with Roblox like they did in the good ol days would just be wonderful- I would be literally crying tears of joy.
4) Speed up commenting. I know, I KNOW, it's hardly a problem for you guys up here in S&I, but with the short and fast paced replies that often lead to meaningful (or not) conversation, you might find yourself counting the seconds between posts and amount to up to 4 or so comment attempts, the floodcheck is quite the annoyance. I usually find me pulling hairs out.
5) Support the forums for mobile: This may be asking a lot from you, but I (and countless others) find the fast paced 24/7 living of the forums pretty suitable to forum on a tablet or a large phone when we can't get to our desktops. I'm thinking the post may be liquid, to stop scrolling left and right and to make the buttons much larger, maybe even support for arrow keys.
6) Allow a convenient replying method. I've seen too many replies to the text of a certain phrase that have gone wrong. I've even heard of someone banned because it looked like the message 'Go drink bleach' seemed like it was directed towards a moderator. Eeee!
Tell me what you think. |

| I meant no.5 as the site would automatically detect that you're on mobile, like lots of sites do, eh? |

There's a thing called an update.

Download Google Chrome and then go to the google store and search for Roblox Forum Enhancer,it will help you a lot. I also agree with dom,it cannot be done,So use the Enhancer.

I agree with most of your suggestions. Although, I can't say the same for #4. Personally because I don't understand this part.
If you're asking to remove the Floodcheck, then I'll have to disagree. That much sums up my understanding on this suggestion.

| No, I mean move it to some amount where it shouldn't be as much of a problem, like half or maybe 3/4 of what it is now? |

Forum upgrades are definitely something we've been talking about for a long time.
As far as automatic siggys, what do you think is a reasonable length/ size of a siggy? |

| Gordon, I'd say that a good maximum would be as many characters as you can fit in 2-3 lines, that's the longest a siggy would usually be. |

I'd say 75 to 100 characters as that's about one line's worth.
\\ But that's my opinion, I could be wrong. |
