IRON HEART FORUM MIGRATION - Help Us Make the New Forum Even Better

[henry_david]

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.

That means adding 9 years…..

I pass

There’s a thread for that [mention]Weft 4 Dead [/mention] here:

I think you’re imagining something more in depth, but if you want to stalk some of us, by all means [emoji6]

That is a very interesting idea and worth thinking more about.

[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.

Bloody difficult to moderate

We could add Norwegian. We could also cover anything conducted in restaurant Spanglish.

I bragged to a friend once that I could ask for 2 beers in almost any language.  He very quickly replied, that's fuck all use, I can do, "Two beers please, and my friend will pay"….

One of the best quick-fire responses I've heard.....

[deanclean]

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]

Was this before you started going to Japan?

[Giles]

Yeah, now I say.  Two beers please and Alex san will pay"

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…

[Manticore]

Top functionality items to improve IMO are:

1. Mobile interface
2. Search function
3. Improved messaging
4. 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.

[louisbosco]

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?

[Weft 4 Dead]

Further thought (though I imagine this would already be a feature of any modern forum): the ability to search within threads.

[Kasi]

I think maybe a buying ranks

Put on your profile…
How much iron heart you are buying

Still waiting for my forum member rank go to the last title , taking ages don’t know why

I think it’s safe to say im the only one here who just found out today that I can use my keyboard emojis in the comments box.
