The forums are featureless as heck. The forums are the only place I still go to on this site, and that's for multiple reasons, which I am not talking about here. So, the fact that these forums are so featureless causes a lot of problems. I'll even get bored of being here without things like searching for forum posts, etc.


So, what can be done to get the forums more up-to-date?


1: FIX. THE. SEARCH. ON. THE. FORUMS. The forum search has been broken for so long, and ROBLOX doesn't even bother to fix/update such a useful feature that the forums DO have. It's pretty much useless now. All it does is let you search for keywords in random forum posts, and quite a few other features on the search page are broken. So just fix it!

2: Add BBCode/formatting (With tags like [b], [url], [i], etc.)! If you've been on other forum sites, you know that BBCode tags are the main way for formatting your posts, to make them look good, and look stylish. However, ROBLOX's forums just COMPLETELY tries to make do without BBCode, which is stupid. I do know that back in the old ROBLOX days, the forums DID have BBCode. I guess the admins did some stupid update to get rid of all the useful BBCode features, which is also quite dumb. Just bring BBCode formatting in forum posts back!

3: Allow us to edit, and delete our own posts! The steam discussion forums allow users to delete and edit their own posts, and other forum sites do, too! So why not ROBLOX's forums? I don't get it, being able to delete and edit your posts is so useful, but you don't even have that, or any of those features above! So please, add this, and all those other features mentioned above!


Welp, there you go. This is my suggestion. I hope at least one or two of these is done. Please, ROBLOX. There are some users who mainly only forum. They want some decent features over here.

Leave a "Support" if you agree.

Don't bother saying "tl;dr", by the way. Read the post, you'll be interested.

How is BBCode easy to abuse?

The whole point of it is to add features without abuse

Support most of them, but I have problems with the deleting thread option. Isn't this an easier way to bypass bans? If somebody posts something inappropriate, gets some attention, and then deletes the thread, would Roblox still ban that person even if they deleted their thread? If They do ban that person because of that, then I support all of your suggestions.

I completely support all three points. The search feature is as useless as a piano without keys, the ability to format would be extremely useful, and editing/deleting your posts should have been implemented LONG ago...

2. ehh, idk || Why? it wouldn't be abusable, and it would add some decent features to the forums.

3. sure. BUT. make previous versions view-able via a tab below the post/reply/whatever." || Yeah, good idea.

Okay, I'll add: They should still be able to ban people, even if they delete their thread/post. Yea.

@blockzbuilderz

OP doesn't say anything about threads being deleted. He said posts, which means the original post can't be deleted by the thread's OP since that would be equivalent to deleting a thread.
