I'm summing up several ideas to improve the forum into one thread, with my own spin on some of them.

--==--
1.Fonts and text size.
2.Quotations
3.Improved reply screen.
4.Auto siggy
--==--
1.Fonts and text sizes.

Self explanatory, but there would be a limit. You could only use predetermined fonts, such as Arial, Calibri, etc.

You could only make words up to font size 15, and you can only make a limited amount of characters allowed to be above the normal font, to prevent font spamming.
--==--
2.Quotation

You have the ability to directly quote sections of text from other people replies. pretty simple.
--==--
3.Improved reply screen

I'm sure we've all been annoyed but the current reply screen, but im not suggesting the usual "reply tot eh post we click reply on" idea. I'm suggesting the ability to view ALL of the replies on a thread, while you're writing yours. As in, there should be a scrolling menu that lets you scroll through through all the replies, self explanatory right?
--==--
4.Auto siggy.

We don't have to type out our siggy or use Google chrome... duh...
--==--

Thanks for reading! I honestly don't see a reason to not support, but if you don't support, give a valid reason or you will be ignored. If you have your own suggestion for the forums, post it here!

1.HOW is it pointless? we could use it to emphasize certain words in our posts.
2.I know huh?
3.It has a great point to it.
4.Counted as a support for lack of a reason.

You don't count a post as support. Lol
I've seen you argue with TAG and other trolls and you posted on it. So you're saying you support stupid ideas like "free stuff"
1. It's unneeded and would just be a waste to add in.
3. Ok looking at it a little more I support. As long as you could have a choice to make it a full screen or a scroll down.
4. Not really our problem. Then just get chrome if you want a siggy that bad.

first of all, when i argue with tag, it's out of boredom, and i blatantly disagree with him when i do. You just said "no support" without any reason or thought.

1.Already answered this, we could emphasize certain words in our post. If you ever write any major posts, you'll understand.

2.derp.

3.Not really YOUR problem. There are some people like me that go to over 500,000 web pages on average every 30 days, and Google chrome has garbage security. just because you like it doesn't mean everyone does.

Then that means youre spamming. Tell me in the rules where it says "You must give a reason"
1. Tell me how this would make all of roblox better. Because this is mainly for forumers.
3. The mods could be doing something useful and making game updates instead of making this as it is uneeded and not many people would even use it

Sorry for any grammar errors. The iPad is really annoying to forum with.

I never said it was in the rules, i said i count it as a support because there's a 90% chance you being a Spriteria.

1.*reads title* THIS SI SUPPOSED TO BE FOR FORUMERS.

2."game updates". Roblox games are player made.

And don't worry about it, iphones are even worse.

No support over anything at all. Everything is useless. Get a keyboard. I always type my own signature. Wtf is a siggy? A think you smoke? If you don't like the Iphone, get a computer.

Sorry but your the only one who would count it as a support. I'm just thinking of you being someone who is desperate for supports and has to say something like that to get them. Honestly, if I wanted to hear that crap, I'd go to rt.

1. Yes but would barely be used. Not like your going to change it every time. And if someone did it would insanely annoying seeing different fonts.
2. "game updates". Meaning stuff like dynamic lighting that people have been waiting For a while now. Sorry if you misunderstood

No, i just do that because i want to know WHY someone doesn't support, so that i could maybe improve on it.

1.The fonts might not be as useful, but increasing text size slightly to emphasize certain words could be helpful in long posts.

2.Now i see what you're saying. Many people don't seem to understand that roblox has 2-3 people working on game updates, etc. They could just have someone revamp the forum a bit, because lets be honest, it;s WAY out of date.

Well then you should stop saying that because it's extremely annoying and it almost makes me think of you as a troll.

1. I'd rather just use caps instead of having them make a whole new update which could be used towards something else.

2. Yes not that many people are working on game updates and the forums never get updated. Maybe make some appearance changes to it or something.

I support 2 and 3. I would especially want to see the original post right now, so I don't have to Cancel writing this post and check did I get the numbers right.

I don't really need 1 and 4, but I wouldn't mind if they happen.

My ideas:
A. Being able to see did somebody post on the same thread while you are writing your reply.
B. Changing already made posts. This would allow fixing typos and such. There would be a text on the post like this: "Last updated DD/MM/YYYY" to let people know the post was changed. D = Day, M = Month, Y = Year.
Well, I think it would be made MM/DD/YY because it's the American way.
C. Making it clearer if there are new posts on a Popular thread. I've been told the title's text color changes but it doesn't. It's brighter when I haven't read it and darker when I have, despite that new replies have been posted there.

1.Fonts and text sizes.

--

I've been on other forums where they have this. It seems completely, utterly useless to me. Sure, it adds a little flavor to your post, but is that at all necessary?

Of course, nothing is necessary. This idea would not take too long to make. But what you have to look at is the percentage of people who think that this format is satisfactory enough, without all sorts of colorful, playful extras added on.

Considering I see about one person every month post something like this in S&I, I don't think many people care. However, there is other point to be made before I move on to the next one. Because you can express yourself in your post more clearly, it might avoid tiresome flame wars since both sides will not be putting up the same old dull post format with only a bunch of insults and nonsensical arguments as a flavor to the post.

[ idea to consider ]

--

2.Quotation

--

This could indeed be convenient. My problem is usually that the person who I am replying to has made several posts, and if I want to quote one of them, I have to address it as "[username's] second post" or "[username's] last post," which is for obvious reasons, not very clear.

I can also just copy and paste the whole thing and put quotation marks at both ends, but my style of arguing is usually in this format: I separate my arguments and the other's arguments with two dashes, I space it out, and then I comment on the other's argument. This can make my post seem abnormally long. I'd rather have it where if you quote somebody, you can just comment in the quote area (and this is perhaps where font colors will come in handy) in a different color.

It's definitely not something that all the forums need, but it will be useful in most forums.

[ good idea ]

--

3.Improved reply screen

--

Yes, this is pretty good. I sometimes need to go back to actual thread just to be able to refer back to certain threads, which is inconvenient. Sometimes if I go back, what I was originally typing gets lost, so instead of going back I usually open to a new tab, go to the forum, go to the thread I was replying to, and refer to things from there. But it'd be a lot easier to have that all on one page.

[ good idea ]

--

4.Auto siggy.

--

I personally would have no problem with this, but there are two other points that stand in the way:

1). I believe on an OBC Cast long ago, ROBLOX said, "We tolerate signatures, but do not encourage them." Which means, in effect, that you're allowed to have one, but ROBLOX is not going to create anything any time soon to help you have one so that you don't have to write it out each time.

2). You would be making a feature for something that is already convenient enough. All you have to do is write it out once, and copy and paste it from then on, onto every post you make. Of course, sometimes you might forget your signature, but that's also why there's an automatic signature system that you can supposedly download with Chrome.

[ bad idea ]

--

That is my commentary. I'll see if some of this can get into "S&I: This Month's Best Ideas"
