All new TDF - New features and theme suggestions

[Raaabo]

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 ).

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.

Also I would like to request to allow the [CENTER] 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.)

I agree with Vyom on two points. We don't need user tagging or likes/thanks. Let us keep spammy features away.

[ritvij]

get the rep button back if no like button please!

[Krow]

I vote against reps too. Inevitably, we have people posting for the sake of reps and asking for reps after every other post.

[tkin]

No, no r@pe button, too bothersome with people asking to r@pe them

[xtremevicky]

The Tag feature will be nice as notifications instantly takes me to threads where I have given a suggestion and people may have a follow up.

Just as easy to become spammy. Much like Facebook tagging.

[krishnandu.sarkar]

I'd like to request Like Button back.

[rider]

yea! bring the like button (y)

[ico]

I don't like the Like button. "Like my post if you like it." oh yea. Happened with "rep" as well. This is not Facebook.

[Krow]

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

[clmlbx]

I too like "like" button or much say "+1" button to agree rather then posting.. and do names of users who clicked "+1" should be at bottom of same post....

I don't know even it is possible or not..

[dashing.sujay]

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.

[Vyom]

+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!

^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.

Just as easy to become spammy. Much like Facebook tagging.

And Add Notiifications for post quotes. That is a MUST.

[Krow]

Meh for user tagging. Even if it is enabled, we need an option to disable it via profile. I don't want to be notified randomly, this is not twitter to be honest.

ok. Mobile gaming section.

I didn't get the Chatbox part.

[Anorion]

^screenshot

[tkin]

^^ Chat with everyone? Like IRC?

[Gearbox]

I don't like the Like button. "Like my post if you like it." oh yea. Happened with "rep" as well. This is not Facebook.

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.

Will be glad to see @username for mentioning someone.

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

Check the screenshot for what i mean.

[SunnyGamingHD2]

Shall we get new similes just curious

+1 for Chatbox

[ico]

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 -

[RCuber]

No Rep pls..
+1 for +1

I had seen a "These members thanked your for the post".. not sure where I had seen it.. maybe that can be included.

Entertainment section needed for Movie/songs ratings, discussion etc..

It's called chit chat.

[Gearbox]

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

Anyway, users are posting with their handles. Whats the harm in tagging. Maybe, providing options for tagging/no-tag will be a better option.

[RCuber]

It's called chit chat.

Actually a Sub Section on Entertainment inside Chit Chat.. cause there are many threads related to this Chit Chat already but its scattered around..

[dashing.sujay]

damn it, by seeing this post, I thought user tagging was enabled. I actually did burst with joy for a sec
