inb4thisisnturdiaryORsh These forums are horrible compared to all of the other competing ones. I honestly do not think that it would take that much effort to add some animations and niceness, e.g. mouseover glancing at the post text. Someone may add a thread with title "?" We should be able to mouse it over and see atleast the beginning of the post. Adding search keywords, such as user: and *caseSensitive* would be nice, although it may take a while. Right now, it is practically impossible to find a post that you forgot to track. Searching something like user:asd title:*caseSensitive*[startswith:My name is asd] inthread:body:GOBWEY asd Would be a lot more effective, although the [syntax must be improved.] Really if you have mods going around forums, trolling, then you MUST have a spare hour to spend improving roblox.

I'm pretty sure that the forums are really difficult to edit, and the admins would have updated it (at least fixed some bugs (eg. can't remove pinned threads)) by now if they could.
Unless we get a brand new forum system, I don't think we'll be seeing any updates. |

And it would be nice too if it could show html stuff without messing up everything -.-
The forums should just handle whatever you write as text, not go and parse it to find fancy stoof >_> |

| We need signatures to, and the ability to switch between a picture avatar and our roblox one, i got some cool animated gif's for avatars. It yould make the forums a lot more attractive and maybe reel in a few more customers ;). |

Signatures: useless, just adds useless text. I actually hate signatures, I don't see the point in posting the same thing in every of your posts. And considering that text is irrelevant to the thread most of the time and is repeated in every post, I'd literally consider it as spam.
Signatures are useless and just make reading harder by taking up space.
As for picture avatars, no. And don't even think about animated gifs, ROBLOX's decals don't support these, and it is out of the question to be able to link to images from other sites, as that'd make it impossible to moderate anything and cause other problems.
What we need is to be able to do some really basic formatting (bold, italic, underlining, etc) and to have a better search tool. That's really all we need. The rest is... useless. We don't need links, we don't need colors, we don't need images, we don't need to be able to change text's size. Just some basic formatting is enough.
Oh, and the forum should also handle spaces and tabs correctly. |

List of things to do:
-Fix the SEVERAL bugs on here (bad links, not removing pinned posts) -Replacing "locked" with deleted so that stupid mods don't just lock threads with bad content -Basic formatting -A search that works (if I search for posts by user with my name, I get a post with my name in it...)

Locking is good, on the path to moderation.

| They should also fix how it throws an error whenever you have " in the search... I was searching for some code that used Instance.new and added (" into to try to find it, and it errored on me and I never found the code I was looking for... :/ |

An edit button would be way too abusable. |

As you've seen, not having signatures just makes people who want them add them to the end of their post, which is downright difficult to filter. That's why there needs to be an official way to have them, so that they're separate from the post, and therefore filterable. |

@Julien
I know, I hate signatures too. They could implement them, but there would have to be an option on the account settings page that says "Show forum signatures". |

| I don't see what's so bad about an edit button. If you keep all revisions of the post, you can see if a user said something bad even if they've changed it. |

My opinion for what needs to be added: -Do something so that whatever text you type as the message, it wont get parsed so you could type html and stuff -Not sure if tabs work now, if not, make em work -Edit button, also a thing which you can click to see all previous versions of post. -Quote thing, but make it so that if the quote is longer than a few lines, make it just say "Blah and Blah said..." with a button or something to expand it to see the whole thing. It should somehow link to the original post so that if its content deleted, the quotes change too automatically. However, if the original post is edited, it becomes a whole different post kinda and the old post is hidden and can be viewed from the history of the post edits or sumtin -Formatting options for the thread creator so that the main subject of the thread can be represented nicely. People who answer to the thread dont need the stuff and would just cause spam. -Hide/Delete post button. In case youre too lazy to not save delted posts for moderation, make a hide post button which makes the post just a thin line saying who posted it, and allow expanding it. -Polls would be nice |
