In terms of making more money I think it would be cool if you could make it so if you pay $10 you get :10bux: under your avatar and you can do it as many times as you want. It would help wealthier forum members stand out because at the moment they look just like poor forum members.

Umm. Are you 3O?

Seriously. Everyone misses it, why not do it?

Not only bring it back, but have goons get twitter accounts and tweet the images after they've been watermarked, free advertising that the forums are still kicking.

Does anyone have either of these saved locally and is willing to post them in a pastebin somewhere? Userstyles is having some issues.

EDIT: I finally got these to load. For those that are wanting either of these I uploaded them to pastebin for you to add manually until Userstyles unfucks itself:

In the next couple of weeks I'll make some more tweaks to my edit of SA Wronger and set up a thread + public github repository where people can contribute changes/fixes/tweaks/ideas; if all goes well, the result would become the 'official' dark mode style integrated into the forums proper as a user option.

Perhaps we will also be able to solve the mystery of who "The17" is. It'll be a fun thread.

Storing payment info is a :can: in that there are all sorts of Very Serious Security Requirements to taking credit card payments, and some of them are easily sidestepped by not storing any sort of payment information. This is not just me being paranoid, but would also represent new costs as there is separation required from the rest of the servers. Maybe making browser autocomplete work with our form would be a good step? Then you could save payment info in your browser and use it on the site more easily, without adding the burden of securely storing payment info to our backend.

I know I'm reaching back on this, but how hard is it to not take credit card information directly but rather strictly rely on stuff like PayPal, GPay, Apple Pay, etc? Is that even possible?

Grrrrrrr.... I guess this will be the thing that will force me to install an app for SA.

I have a icon for SA in the iPhone desktop, by installing it has a "PWA" application, but a proper app would be better, I guess.

May uninstall if everything UI is giganteous and I only a few lines of text fit on the screen. Old people like me are weird.

The Awful apps are p good to be honest. I have it on both my person phone (Android) and my work phone (iPhone). I definitely prefer the Android version though, if I'm being honest.

The forums seriously has needed a little icon that pops up in the corner whenever you’re quoted that will bring you to the quoted post. That will spur a lot of engagement, which means more active and retained users, which means traffic, which means more revenue for the servers and stuff. Why not done???

Stylish and userstyles.org got taken over by a for-profit web analytics company that only cares about data collection. Use stylus instead.

(Getting styles from userstyles is still ok, if the site is working at the time. But the extensions is tracking & reporting every site you go to.)

Read up to page 10, already voted 5, would also throw some buck on a patreon.

One thing I want to bring up, some of the user profile options are superfluous now. Who even uses ICQ anymore? Can you actually use yahoo or AOL instant messenger, I thought they had shut down? This is surely fairly low on the list of stuff to do, but a small overhaul of user profiles wouldn't hurt.
