he ROBLOX forums are so primitive compared to other forums. All we can do is make threads and reply to threads. I think that the mods should give the forums a major overhaul that uses BBCode. If the change is so big that no users can be on the forums during the update, then shut down the forums for a while until it's done, but try not to remove threads that used the old format in the process. Here are my ideas for what BBCode can do with ROBLOX.
1. Reply with quotes. If we want to reply to somebody on the forums, we have to say "@Username". But with reply quotes, we can properly reply to them, and we can even quote what they had to say at the same time, so that no curious bystander has to go digging around for what the person we replied to had said.
2. Automatic signatures that are split apart from the main post. There are automatic signature extensions for ROBLOX on Chrome, but the signature would still be part of your post. Many other forums have a divider between your post and your signature, so that when a user is quoted, only what they posted is quoted, and not their signature. If we were to add quotes to the forums (See above) but not add automatic signatures, then a person's signature would still be part of the quote.
3. YouTube videos. ROBLOX allows YouTube links, so why not allow YouTube videos actually being part of the post? BBCode does make this possible, plus it saves the hassle of copying and pasting the YouTube link.
4. Images. I know what you're going to say, but here's the thing. ROBLOX could either only allow images that are from ROBLOX (Decals, Character images, etc,) or automatically allow images from ROBLOX, but also allow images from offsite links, but with moderation. If you were to upload a post with an image from an offsite link, a forum moderator and an image moderator would both have to review it before accepting it or not.
5. Smileys (AKA Emoticons). Not as important as the rest, but still a good idea. Maybe have the smileys stylized to look like yellow ROBLOXian heads. :) would produce a smiling head, :( would make a sad one, D:< would make an angry one, and so on. I will post my ideas for good smileys as ROBLOX decals later. And if you don't like the smileys, then you can toggle them on or off. I will post my concepts for ROBLOX-stylized smileys in a later post.
6. Edit and delete posts. We've all made an embarrassing mistake before or have accidentally posted in the wrong forum or in the wrong thread. So that's where editing posts and deleting them comes in.
7. Bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, and text size. This should be pretty self-explanatory. The essentials for firmly expressing things in a post. Though there should be a small limit to text size. We don't want little kids spamming with HUGE text.
So yeah, those are my ideas. If you support all of them, say support. If you don't support any of them, give a reason why you don't for all seven of them. If you support some of them but don't support some others, then list which ideas you support and don't support and tell me why you don't support the ones that you don't.
