I know this thread will go crazy... but that's to be expected in a democracy. Just try to not go too wild with suggestions, and ensure that you post a URL or a screenshot of a page/site where said feature has been implemented.

Also, for a theme... ico will shortlist a few, and add screens and a poll to this thread, and we'll vote. Do not add theme suggestions until he has given you the options, or else it will end up being crazy. If you have a theme you would like to suggest, PM ico and to try and get him to include it in his final list.

I'm thinking one bright, one dull and one dark theme (all from the same parent style) ought to be enough of a choice for members.

For theme how about something that continues the flow of design from the main thinkdigit site. I think it would be great. I would prefer a light colored theme. The current theme although is good but I think we need a better one now :)

The choice of three said themes is all we need! (Most preferred being the dark, since currently I have to use F.lux to save my eyes :p).

As far as features are concerned, I think most of them have already been implemented in this version of vBulletin. What I can instead request are features we don't want! Some of those are user tagging and the like button. :p

Also I would like to request to allow the
BB code in signature. Currently I have my signature as center, but since it was disabled recently I can't change my signature as it shows me an error "BB code center is not allowed.".

And thanks again to everyone involved in making TDF more beautiful in looks and making it more functional then before. (Well, Old was also not bad, rather was a Legend in its own way.) ;)​

Frankly, whoever are against user tagging are sounding too non-practical; more like a rant. I don't deny with the misuse of tagging but come on, not everything is full proof or 100% fruitful. Majority will agree that tagging has much more usefulness than misuse. One thing can't be ignored citing a single negative reason. Do we disable posting citing spam as a reason? That'll kill the purpose. Likewise we can handle with tagging.
Plus I support 'quote notification'.
Lastly, rep is something which must never be brought back, like can be considered.

PS: I'm fine with any sorts of theme and fonts.

+1 is better than like. Like is too facebookish, and don't justify the kind of posts which could be "liked"! We have seen how everyone can "like" something which is not "supposed to be" liked. So a like button is just a bad idea.

But, +1 can be considered. It can stop the one/two word posts like, "I agree", "Same with me", "lol...". Well, I hope so. :|

Also, whatever you do, please no r@pe buttton! :lol:

^Fact. No need for likes or thanks. Maybe we should have some kind of social network integration? Tweet this post/thread kinds?

Social network integration makes site heavy (personal opinion). Don't really think its a good idea. You can always share something by copying the URL and sharing it on respective social networking sites. Or you can take help of extensions which lets you do it. :)

How about a "Like" button for the comments? I dont want my post to be liked, but i will be glad if someone liked my comment in someone's post. :2cents:

Will be glad to see @username for mentioning someone.

A WYSIWYG editor instead of <tags> while commenting or posting something.

WSIWYG editor is already there. Just enable it from your settings.

Like is debatable. User tagging may be, yes. But can user tagging be disabled if someone doesn't want to get tagged?

And smilies are fine. There are plenty and we've grown up using these smilies here. Especially this one - :lol:

That's for guests, made to accommodate more advertisements. Use TDF v6.5 which is meant for registered users.

I hate the increasing number of ads on the page. It is getting ridiculous. At least we were able to get rid of them by signing in, then they came up with that bottom bar which pops up every time you go to a new page. Then they started those popup video ads which you can skip only after a few seconds (not to mention they are bandwidth hoggers). And now with these stupid side bars with the Micromax ad which you just cannot get rid of, no matter what. Guys, have you ever visited the forum on a 10 inch netbook? I am not even getting started on how annoying it is, when more than half of your screen seems to be covered by ads. What next?? an ad right in the middle of the screen?? You have got to stop somewhere.

I am missing this feature from ages, and now seriously want this to be implemented.

When anybody clicks an unread thread via usercp, if you click on thread title, it just takes to the first page; if you click on the last post icon, it takes you to the last/latest post of that thread.

What I want, that it should take you to the post from where it's actually "unread".

And it can be simply implemented by binding thread title link to this >

ex - target thread -> *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/chit-chat/101180-offtopic-thread.html

How it should be ?

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/chit-chat/101180-offtopic-thread-new-post.html

That should take you exactly to the post, from where you left it, and rest of the posts are unread.

This can be applied to thread coming in "new posts" also.

Just adding a couple of words, and bingo!

Looking forward to it's soon implementation. :)

Search in TDF is really a problem. Like when I was trying to looking for information on Consoles before my PS3 purchase. PS3 didn't worked for the same reason. I tried to modify it to Play Station 3 still didn't work, though I understand it has been modified now.

But still, it's too hard to search for a thread or post in TDF. Searching for a specific thread with keywords in thread title returns many irrelevant results sometimes it doesn't return what I'm trying to search for.

I made the popular sites as sub forums so that they'd be easily searchable, and just by looking at the threads you would get an idea of how many positive and negative feedback comments that site was getting. Also it gives the sites, if they want it, the option to come here and reply to the OP and solve a query in case it's negative feedback. I'm happy to change it based on popular opinion of the forum members. So suggest options and once were at a consensus I will make the necessary changes.

I just noticed a new section Online Shopping

I don't think we should have separate section for each popular online shopping sites (Amazon, eBay, Flipkart, snapdeal etc.)
Like this we have many sub-sections with very less number of posts in these sections.

My Suggestions:
----------------------------
1) There should be one section for all shopping sites user experience. And if in future any particular shopping site have large amount of posts, you can create a separate forum for that shopping site.

2) There should be one forum, where user can share latest deals, coupons of various shopping sites.

Not a badge or like that, but something like a simple like or thanks would be apt. You may counter it by saying people may again ask for likes or create another account as you said. But we can't dump everything just for a couple of wrong members. It's just too plain now. :(

I see, it gets spammy by nature. Then again, people post just for the sake of posting too :)

I liked how XDA implemented the Thanks system by providing a button below a post to thank the user and though that is an absolute number one can also display a ratio of post/thank ratio to indicate how useful the user has been on the forum.(Not that it should turn into a ThinkWarcraft by any means)

Ratings and Badges really make for an interesting way to hang out on a forum if you have been on //Mod Edit and earned something new every time you loggged in :-D

Also, I've noticed the smilies are not consistent if you check out other forums. I'm no web developer but i can tell you that smilies over at XDA are definitely more coherent in animation or whatever metric that you use to describe that is...or is this deliberate ?

@Raaabo How about a thread under feedback section, relating to any complaints/greviance about the TDF forum. Like about how the forum is being administered.
I feel this is important to see the mods do not mis-use their power or get too bossy or nosy in the things going on in the forum. It may also be used to complaint about a particular user. It will reduce the number of ot's and un-necessary aruguments going on in the threads.
Even if the thread is not used as much, still it will be good to keep users or mods in check; since there is a place where their actions will be noted.

I got it, but Like/+1 feature is not linked with the rating system of an user. Thanks/Rep is directly linked with the popularity of the user, as it can be displayed directly below the user avatar to flaunt he got many.
But liking a comment is linked one and only with the post, not to the user. Getting my view? :idea:

^Well even likes can be used to gain so called "popularity" as it also can be counted and boasted. But everything can be hidden. No need to display how many likes one has got overall. It will surely decrease users' appetite for asking likes. If they can't show it, why will they ask on first hand ?

I hope haters get my point.

PS: There are numerous instances when we agree with someone's view and want to support it. And liking it is the best option against quoting it by replying "I agree".

PPS: Everything has got a pro and a con. you can't rule out anything by just stating that it has this and that con. If this was the case, "money" (the root cause of everything) would never have existed in this world. "Give me moooaar money" Oh yeah! :|

^ Raaabo - I guess the time has come to implement it, waiting since long...

I am missing this feature from ages, and now seriously want this to be implemented.

When anybody clicks an unread thread via usercp, if you click on thread title, it just takes to the first page; if you click on the last post icon, it takes you to the last/latest post of that thread.

What I want, that it should take you to the post from where it's actually "unread".

And it can be simply implemented by binding thread title link to this >

ex - target thread -> *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/chit-chat/101180-offtopic-thread.html

How it should be ?

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/chit-chat/101180-offtopic-thread-new-post.html

That should take you exactly to the post, from where you left it, and rest of the posts are unread.

This can be applied to thread coming in "new posts" also.

Just adding a couple of words, and bingo!

Looking forward to it's soon implementation. :)

And a like/thanks option.

Current method is:

Don't uncheck the retrieve... Thing and it's 2 clicks more, that's all :)

The reason I haven't done it is coz it's not an addon bb code, image is inbuilt in vb, so it's not possible to call an image function and then call it again with different parameters... Maybe it is "possible" I just don't think it's worth the effort and trouble to custom code something just for one button to save 2 clicks :(

Ok. Reputation thing is worse, coz the reputation bar/meter will show how good/experienced/famous an user is - as we're showing the rep bar below the user name or avatar.

But here in 'like/+1' feature, we suggest not to show the 'count of likes' for the user received. The 'like' will be limited to that particular comment of the post, and it won't be credited to the user who commented. Though it credits, the admin can hide the 'count of likes' the user received, from viewing by anyone.

I feel, there's a difference..

Lol. This is a setting in VBSEO that I enabled, but it doesn't work for some stupid reason. Oh well VBSEO themselves are down and out, so perhaps it will soon be time to write them off anyway... Let's see. Maybe when the site is up again I will be able to find a solution, but if it doesn't, then not this likes system for sure... And maybe no likes system at all. Only time will tell ;)

There you go.

BB Code disabled altogether from signatures. No link. No Bold. No Italic.

This is a loophole which has existed in vBulletin since 7 years. Custom BB Codes are always allowed in signatures even if a handful of BB Codes are enabled. Don't worry, I'll fix it when I get time. Will have to mod a little.

[imgg] and [youtube] are Custom BB Codes. Now I don't want to delete them as they are useful.

Until then, enjoy No BB Code. ;)

PS: I don't have time as my exams have started. A month is enough for everyone to clean up their signatures.
