The 2017 Forum Improvement Suggestion Thread

I know, I know... we've had these threads before and nothing came of them. This time I promise it will be different.

This is a place for suggestions and also pointing out bugs.

Try to be specific... instead of general "Change the theme" feedback, try finding a theme you like, and pointing us to that, so we can see what kind of colour palette and theme you like...

When posting a bug report, make sure you test it immediately before posting. We've tried to fix a few recently. Many remain however. List them out.

You can also suggest a reordering of the forum. Complain about mods, publicly wish me bodily harm... etc... but if you keep the criticism positive we might actually be able to do some good soon.

Try and categorise feedback into the following buckets:

Bugs
Feature additions
Specific Addons
New sections
General Suggestions

As usual, please read what others have posted to avoid duplicating suggestions. If you want to add your vote for a suggestion, quote them and +1 their suggestion, instead of saying the same thing in different words...

That's it... fire away...

Fix the search functionality.

Can you specify what's wrong with search? I just used it, worked fine for me.

We need some new features like followed in TomsHardware forum.

1.We need to implement badges like AMD Expert, CPU Expert, GPU Expert etc for certain members who are proficient in their respective fields..
2.We need to implement Credits system like which member earned more number of credits that can be redeemed to buy Digit Magazines...
3.We need to implement more themes & individual coloring system to each sub-section...
4.We also need the Bazaar Section improved like TE and Erodov forums do so that my Digit becomes No. 1 forum in India...

For example

It shows unrelevant threads at times and if there are more than 30 posts in a thread, it shows the thread instead of pointing at the exact post. (Default search is behaving like this)

Server related - delayed & inconsistent email notifications.

Exactly. Bring back the 'Like' button or +1 button or whatever equivalent which you think of/others suggest.

Well first of all the Register link should be removed when the user is logged in.

Not able to Upload avatar.Either from URL or upload.Tried with different pictures with different size and resolution.
Is it a bug or some eligibility i am have not yet met.

Yes, that's a serious bug. Most of the times there is problem in uploading and displaying avatar.

Forum attachments also not working. I thought it would be fixed by now, but its still there.

Now that the forum has grown much more than what it was back in 2003, I find What's New returning many threads which I have no interest in. I'd love to have the selective forums functionality so that I see only those threads that interest me.

would like it, if there is a handy chat box.......

Also forum search needs very much improvement......

+1 to that and why not a +1 func?

Desktop site is too slow since the update, like its loading on a dial-up connection. Getting frequent log-outs and reporting isn't working fine.

Testing post speed and error...

it would be nice to have the previous dark theme back..

No that's added on purpose. It will be there on all themes. The forum is a part of a larger website, get used to that.

I get a desktop notification for someone who "quoted" or "mentioned", but its not showing in the "Notification" which is on top-right next to the username. Maybe, it's a WIP. Just wanted to add.

Thanks dude. I still havent got the motivation to improve it and fix stuff. Lots of work and other stuff.

It was requested so I re-enabled. It's just the tdf-members theme manually edited in the vbulletin editor. Am still looking for themes.

Some time the site wont simply load...

Mobile? Desktop?

Raaabo said:

Both. Sometimes the post take ages to appear in Tapatalk.
But on desktop for example, it takes tens of seconds to load the site. Just now when I got the notification from Taptalk about your post and I opened the site to reply.
The site opened in 2 seconds, but then this post took about 10 seconds to open.

Overall, looks like the server on which the new forum is hosted isn't responsive or the performance is sluggish due to load.

TechnoBOY said:

In Desktop in Chrome.
Sometimes it gets stuck in Chrome as well for several seconds...

And sometimes it loads the site partially after a long wait:

*i.imgur.com/x1Z9lL6.jpg

IT team looking into it. Server loads don't suggest anything is amiss w.r.t. not being able to handle the traffic. Wonder what it is.

Me too noticed the slowness, site wont load many times, but once loaded it works fine, same thing happens when using laptop, also with VPN/Tor.

Might be a caching issue?

For me it is not opening at all in Vodafone 3G or home alliance broadband. Tried tapatalk, chrome(both android, PC), FF and edge. Only works from my office. In tapatalk it shows "get_config" error. [MENTION=1]Raaabo[/MENTION] please fix it as earliest possible. Really missing the forum.

You need to delete that entry from tapatalk... unfollow it, and search for "the digit forum" and add that. It's a new entry.

Still getting random logouts on desktop site.

You selected remember password?

Not been logged out even once for days...

Forum access via Tapatalk feels much faster now [MENTION=1]Raaabo[/MENTION].

Threads are loading instantly. No lag like a few hours back.

Yeah IT trying to see what could be wrong.

Some of the problems that i have faced (specific to desktop)-
Forum doesnt load (generally its a partial load with some drop-downs missing)..
Avatars NEVER load..
Sometimes my account wont load (have to log in every time i try accessing Digit.in even though i check 'remember password' each time)
In the Dark Theme, the 'Whats New' column is missing..

Looking into the loading times. You need to clear cache once to get the cookies from old forum cleared. So try that. Dark theme is temporary and not supported. It's merely to save people's eyes from glare at night.

I always select remember password, still get logged out for no reason when I refresh. Also, the last post gave a double post error.

What do you mean the dark theme is temporary? is there a new theme on the way??

Yes there will be new themes which will be made available with both dark and light variations.

Send me options for any themes paid or free that you guys like for VB 4.x, happy to consider all.

sounds awesome!!

And I could not open site since last night 9.30PM.

Yes, site's performing like before now.

Now, I can waste my office hours on TDF.

Part of the problem was DNS not updating fast across the world. At one point there were 2 IPs listed for forum.digit.in and it was trying the wrong one for 2/3 minutes before forwarding to the right one. Even after deleting the entry it stayed for a long time on some dns servers :-(

Why sad? Looks like the issue have been fixed now!!!

Please fix this "false notification".

It always returns an empty page, and sometimes gives a notification every page.

Wtf is that? I've never seen that!

Can you confirm if this is happening with anyone else? I also have notifications enabled but I don't see this.

Its the forum notification which browser now supports. Atleast Firefox now supports it. From the screenshot looks like Chrome also does now.

Raaabo said:

See the attachment, I always get this "1 New Thread Tags" notification. And let's say if I open usercp.php 10 times continuously, then it displays for 10 times. Happening ever since forum started supporting push notification.

Vyom said:

As far as I know Chrome always supported push notifications. In fact, I've heard the opposite of what you said.

Lol in the first screen you posted there was a popup of some type in the centre in black. I thought that was the notification you were talking about.

Seeing it on phone so didn't see the ones on top. Do they not work when you click them?

No, they do not work. When I click on them, they always return a blank page.

And it appears on every page every time I open.

I get the pop-up notification, but it's not clickable. So I just get... 4 new quotes, or something, but nothing more after that.

One more request, revamp the smiley list too.

Got any suggestions? We can use any free smiley pack.

Added a chatbox on the forum home page above footer.

All these new Thanks/Likes/Dislikes, do we really need it ?? Reps and thanks are redundant . Also There's no option for disliking a post(atleast not easily found).

Raaabo said:

Push notifications are supposed to be "clickable" or auto-hide after a certain interval which here is 10 secs (approx). Now 10 secs is too much, it should not have been more than 5 secs. Plus once I click on it, it should not come again if I visit same page. I'm using Chrome latest + Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Flash said:

[MENTION=1]Raaabo[/MENTION] can answer that.

Also, Raaabo, isn't it possible to include only like or thanks ? Both look messy IMO.

Yes I can disable thanks.

Raaabo said:

Then I believe "like" should be enough; no need of thanks.

This like/rep system is really cluttery...

For too long we've done what we think is sensible. It's not working the forum will die if we are stubborn. Time to try things we don't like now.

The chatbox showing new threads created is a nice addition. :thumbs:

Forum performance seems stable. Have tried it just about every hour of the day now.

Also in the Likes/Thanks received, imo it would be best if number of likes/thank sent to different users would be hidden & thereby only showing the ones received.

Still the issue should be fixed with Chromium browser as well.

Here is my suggestions:

Ability to change username at-least twice in a month
Ability to extract twitter status and show on forum post
Allow BB Code,HTML,smilies,images,gifs in signature for normal users

Ability to change username at-least twice in a month

Not good. Also, I don't think vBulletin doesn't even allow this to be a user privilege. Only admins can do it afaik?

Also, everyone changing their names 2 times every month will be a pain to keep up. Hard to know who is who.

Ability to extract twitter status and show on forum post

Well, no. Would increase overhead in loading forum pages unnecessarily. I guess the current method is fine(pasting in your signature)

Yes. Because the shoutbox is the first thing we see when we login and its constantly updated whenever someone creates a new thread, it is more current than the Today's Posts or New Posts page. Therefore, it would be more convenient for someone who thinks they can contribute to a thread to access it directly by clicking on it rather than browsing for that thread manually.

I have a negative feeling about shoutbox. I think it will reduce forum activity in the long run and a lot of valuable data will be lost.

can we have some kind of big fat red outline and the words "user was banned for this post" on offending posts so people know what is not tolerated?

We can have anything. It would be nice if you guys helped by searching for the required addon.

Links in chatbox is a paid feature. Happy to pay once we are all sure we want chatbox for good.

I can't use Red theme or for any other theme than v6.5 because of the digit navigation bar on top consuming precious screen estate.

Indeed. I also switched back to 6.5 partly because of that bug and partly coz of the navigation bar. Theme is good and easy on eyes but I won't compensate screen area for that.

Please do something about Tapatalk, it's really bad in loading, sometimes can't open.
Not fully supported i guess in tapatlak because there are 2 chats with digit forum name and both works separately (different persons in chats)? How's that possible.

Completely not sure what you are talking about.
Have you tried removing all entries for digit and adding it freshly?

Some screenshots with blurred names can be useful to get an idea of what you mean.

Ok. I wasn't sure about typing it at first.. Haha..
How to remove all these entries..
I tried deleting 2 chats of digit forum. But it appears again. I don't know why.
I can't even understand Tapatalk UI. It's like a maze. I can't explain it. You can find it by adding few forums to tapatalk.
Fortunately I have to keep track of this forum only, it displays feed notification "tab" below but displays only for "digit forum"

YouTube links on tapatalk works fine but on desktop site, you see only youtube link cant play video from there only.

I agree, Tapatalk have grown to be confusing.
But don't bug me much since I use it for only digit forum too.

1.
I think because of the same font colour, it disappeared in the icon. Check the image...
BTW, this is from TDF v6.5 theme.

When a thread started posts a post, some kinda marking for that post would be good. Like different coloured/styled post, or something. If that's too much, a simple marking in the post's title or next to poster's id or something.

last night, after a long time, i was browsing TDF on tapatalk.

i found it very very slow to load, and even failing to load at times.
All the other forums that i have on tapatalk work fine.

^which other forums?

Why not a new pen testing related section ?

xbhp, hifivison, xda-devs

for me, digit doesn't load in tapatalk (win phone).
also, in IE(11), typing in the forum is very weird. skips letters. have to type very slow. even then have to press letters double times frequently. on editing a post too many-a-times it won't save in the first instance. copy-pasting links from say imgur too doesn't function.

^^ Umm... IE? You use IE?

Vyom said:

sometimes, in offices, you are compelled to use IE because the highly intelligent and super smart IS teams do not provide Chrome as default. And the process for getting chrome installed is too long and tedious.

Vyom said:

yes, at office, as FF slows down the laptop. used to sometimes at home too, as i use multiple browsers with 'open with last active tabs' feature turned on, so for some quick viewing-posting on TDF & other fora which i dont require to be open for later use, i at times use IE instead of straining the other browsers with more which are reeling under the load of a 100 or so open tabs already.

I faced the same situation. But then I heard I just needed to raise a ticket to get the Chrome installed, citing some random business case (like I need to open this website which don't render on IE, something). And then I got rid of IE for good. Although some company things still run on IE. So can't get rid of it completely.

In Firefox, which I use at home, I too use restore open tabs feature. But not all tabs loads at the same time. It loads whenever I select the tab. Maybe its some setting which you need to enable.

correct (except in chrome i believe). but once we open forum-pages, it leads to a chain of opening up several other pages too which many-a-times remained unclosed while exiting the browser if unmindful. actually i keep tabs opened coz i save many-a-pages for later reference, and they keep getting piled up as i defer the job of saving. so i decided to strike at the root & changed the browser itself to browse forums, lol. but finding edge also being not-so-good, i am back to reusing other browsers for forums too at home. however at office its usually different. now am using FF to write this in office, but will close and go back to IE as am finished. so FF is used-and-closed, used-and-closed for just TDF alone here.

anyway i guess there does exist this issue with TDF on IE that persists. atleast an issue/bug for the sake of being one.

You mean emails getting sent together and 100s at a time? If you're burdened with too many mails just unsub

Are you suggesting it's not a bug? What use is it if i get updates 3 months later?

It is indeed a bug which has existed since very very long.

new theme! something like Forums - Linus Tech Tip
tapatalk not working

I want Image Upload System like in Tech Enclave and Erodov.
So here are some sites to help in setting up Image Upload System:

1)Image Upload System - vBulletin.org Forum
2)Image Upload Systems - PHP - The SitePoint Forum

How the reputation system works in our forum I simply don't know but here are some examples about how reputation system works in other forums.Please analyze them and Please implement or follow the same system here. Just my suggestion.

Ex Forums:
1)*drugs-forum.com/forum/showwi...utation_System
2)Reputation System

I came across an error on Linux Chrome. When I quote someone in quick reply button then I can't put any space between characters, meaning that space bar button won't won't. If I go advanced then it works. Also without any quote(reply) it works as well.

Quoting you from Linux (Ubuntu 16.10 LTS)/Chrome replying via Quick reply box.

Can we please have strict moderation for first 20 posts of any new users back?

I keep getting the same problem on windows chrome and thought that something was wrong from my side.

SaiyanGoku said:

20 posts limit was never there AFAIK. And anyway, 20 post would be impossible to moderate. Normally, people are not even patient for 5 posts. Nevertheless, 5 limit is still there.

It is indeed from your side.

What really? :O
Btw yes some new users really write cryptic posts to hide their spam.

Yes, license has also been bought. But time is one thing which only Raaabo knows.

What are the advantages of Xenforo over existing?
Does it support Tapatalk?

Yes. This. Those posts seem almost like regular user posts but if you look closely at the pattern, it seems like spam.

sling-shot said:

True. They are usually somewhat long sentences but one word towards the end would be hyperlinked to their website/whatever. Rater difficult to spam 100's of these in daily basis for mod imo.

See, 9 out of 10 times, a link in the first post is usually is spam but that still doesn't mean one should delete all the new posts having links. At least the mod has to verify if the user is really a spammer or not. Sometimes, the spam starts after moderation period ends. Being said that, no system is fool proof but 99% spam can definitely be controlled.

OK will try clearing cache and $hit to see if it solves the problem of quick reply.

I'm back, permanently.

Tell me what all issues are there.

I am assuming Digit is planning on getting an SSL certificate soon, since Google is having new rules for making https mandatory and all...

Moving to HTTPS is a relatively trivial process once you obtain a SSL certificate.

Doesn't Lets Encrypt give certificates easily?

For free too.

I want Image Upload System like in Tech Enclave and Erodov.

I want the Reputation system & Rating system to be implemented or improved.

If any particular member is active in any particular section or has reached a certain number of posts, then he should be given a certain Rep + Ratings accordingly.

I pray to all the MODS and the super MOD to implement such a system.

It could encourage such a member or new members to try to attain such a status.

Also contests and free game giveaways should be held periodically so that more members will join our community.

Just my 2 cents...

I agree to this point.

shouldn't we post these new suggestion on 2017 thread?? Does it even exist??

ariftwister said:

Still most of the 2016 suggestions, are yet to implement.

We need to implement Badge System like in Toms Hardware Forum in order to encourage the members...

Like this:Badge director

We need some new features like followed in Toms Hardware forum.

1.We need to implement badges like AMD Expert, CPU Expert, GPU Expert etc for certain members who are proficient in their respective fields..
2.We need to implement Credits system like which member earned more number of credits that can be redeemed to buy Digit Magazines...
3.We need to implement more themes & individual coloring system to each sub-section...
4.We also need the Bazaar Section improved like TE and Erodov forums do so that my Digit becomes No. 1 forum in India...

For example

Well damn, we moved to Xenforo. This feels...different. Btw post count of users to remain hidden in the future too?

Seems table tag is not working properly.

Thank you Raaabo for the smilies.

One thing, I'm not able to send a private message, I think it's called starting a conversation in Xenforo. Is the the case with everyone?
