All this talk about a mobile app or whatever and I have never browsed this site from a mobile device because I am king of shut-in mountain and only read this from an actual computer.

would like to see a thread's tag from within the thread. If I don't bookmark it and want to find it later, I'll probably remember the tag better than the title.

promising carl posted:Bookmark individual posts. I like this idea, but if that can't be done I would like an easier way to get a link to a specific post so I can bookmark it myself in my browser. Another idea I've wanted (I don't think this is actually possible) would be some way to find what was happening in a thread at a particular timestamp. Some of the real fast-moving threads (politics or sports) are tough to keep up with and it'd be nice to either say "I want to go to 11:30 PM EST in this thread and read from there" or "skip to the first post from this morning."

Lowtax posted:Yeah, the parser is so old school that it literally pre-dates the ability to watch videos on youtube starting at a specific time (not sarcastic here) Come to think of it, and this has definitely been mentioned, it also predates mobile youtube, and that's why I keep seeing so many links to videos instead of embeds.

Perhaps a "File Lawsuit" button next to Report and Quote so that you can quickly process legal papers against a poster for a post you do not like/agree with.

You can also specify a resolution for youtube embeds, if you want Here's one idea: make bookmarks inherit the css of the forum they belong to, so if I have some byobs and some gbses in you could easily tell. This also would show you super easily that your fave thread was gassed or gold mined Also maybe some new extra csses for sub forums if they want them. It's fine to be mostly grey but it'd be fun to punch it up a notch with a few little touches

Lowtax posted:I am not, but that's another thing I need to get my stupid rear end on; either make it the official app and link to it when you try to browse via phone, or do a lovely, half-assed job of serving a bastardized jquery version of the forums to mobile. The thing is, when I last asked, people were saying mobile wasn't a big deal and shouldn't be a priority. Granted that probably was six decades ago, but still!

Sort of a larger issue, but it seems like donations and your patreon have been a better source of income lately than new registrations. (I may be entirely wrong about that.) instead of charging 10bux to register, would it be possible to have a limited invite system where users could invite a few friends for free? Paired with yearly fund drives it might be a good way to keep the population fresh and large enough to keep this place going while also maintaining SA's sense of exclusivity. I'm making a lot of assumptions here though

I know you can use HTML tags but most forums have an easier way to do it, like just choose the text and you can embed the link to it. Having to write the code is an inconvenience.

Make it so avatar history is stored and you can scroll through with < > buttons. Then make it so IKs etc. can sticky particularly good avatars and redtexts so they'd appear in a column below the latest one. This would preserve sweet burns for posterity, make purchasing avs for other people more worth it since they can't get totally wiped immediately, and best of all make it easier to tell who the gently caress is who when people change names and avs.

Lowtax posted:Lord no, the paywall is there to keep out people who do not value their accounts, and the easiest way to put an actual value on an account is financially. Free invites would be asking for folks getting throwaway accounts and just making GBS threads up the joint because they give no gently caress if they're banned, and why should they? Why would they bother even trying to abide by the rules? They don't care if they're banned, they're not losing anything. Fair enough
