IRON HEART FORUM MIGRATION - Help Us Make the New Forum Even Better
-
I only browse and post from my desktop using Chrome, so I've never really had any issues. I've been slowly breaking up with my phone for the last year or so, so phone functionality isn't really a concern or issue for me (sending this from my desktop, so don't worry my phone won't see this.)
I tried using tapatalk for a guitar forum maybe 10 or so years ago and really couldn't stand it at all, so have never tried it with this forum.
I guess my only thing that I'd really find useful would be a feature where I could "save" a post or a thread? Like if I was going through buy/sell/trade threads and wanted to save some for viewing and purchasing later? Or maybe favoriting some other threads to have a customized forum with the sections I would mostly want to see. Maybe those things already exist, I've just never really jumped in too much to find out.
Wants List:
IHSH-20-Red, XL
IHSH-208-Indigo Kersey, L-XL
IHSH-254-Grey Kersey, L-XL
IHSW-45 Black, M
IH-526SV 21oz type III, 38 or 40
IH-777S-SB size 32
IH-777S-142 size 31 or 32
IHJ-142-BLK or IND, M -
NFT’s, blockchains, crypto currency’s, and more apps than a person can count…The world is moving ahead and I don’t understand it (nor want to).
Not apprehensive about the future, just really happy at my point and place in time.
The migration will turn out great and I hope that it works wonderfully.
Keep up the good work.

Idk what I'd have to contribute here in experience/knowledge (happy to try out the new system and provide feedback) but, then again, a shortage of either hasn't ever stopped me from sharing my opinion.

Haven’t a Scooby about all the jargon you techno-wizards are on about, but I do have an idea for a feature of sorts…
How about some sort of “Wardrobe” field in a user’s forum bio, which that person can update, should they fancy? A place where we can record every Iron Heart item we own, categorised into Shirts, Jackets etc., and folks can have a stalk if they’re interested.
Not everybody would use it, but I’m sure enough would to warrant its implementation, and, selfishly… I just nerd out for such things.Could even look at integrating such a feature into the classifieds, making it more of a marketplace-style interface, as opposed to formatted posts.

There’s a thread for that [mention]Weft 4 Dead [/mention] here:
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=49.0
I think you’re imagining something more in depth, but if you want to stalk some of us, by all means [emoji6]

[mention]Fadez [/mention] you just blew my mind! That was my biggest beef with Tapatalk I couldn’t @ someone. Your post of the picture is life changing! Thanks man.

I don’t have much to contribute about a new forum. I only speak English, but perhaps sections for chats in other languages? I of course have no clue how easy or difficult that is.

Oh I’m sorry [mention]neph93 [/mention] and [mention]Giles [/mention] you don’t have time to copy and paste every single post into google translate? [emoji2]

I'm frequently visiting the German TESLA forum which is based on Discourse: https://tff-forum.de/
From my point of view this forum software is very convinient. But honestly speaking: I have no experiences with the other options like NodeBB or Invision Community. So my opinion is very subjective…
-
Top functionality items to improve IMO are:
- Mobile interface
- Search function
- Improved messaging
- Image management/storage
I also like the idea someone mentioned of a wardrobe component that could also be linked in a way to generate For Sale/Trade posts in a more streamlined fashion.
-
given the following of the forum is now huge. to further better engagement and foster a close knit community, would it make sense to have a dedicated mobile app?
-
Further thought (though I imagine this would already be a feature of any modern forum): the ability to search within threads.
