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

[Giles]

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.....

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.

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.

@deanclean:

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.

only a month late to reply… But on anything that has the Android kernel running on it can run Translate in any app, multiple windows, and there's an overlay that works over any app, and it is fully integrated into Chrome. To activate, hold on any text on-screen, hit the three dots, then select Translate...

Also, @Kasi it's a post count thing. So your title will change eventually. Just keep posting.

OK guys - we are nearly ready for the next phase (gamma?) of testing after the basic beta tests already done. Some of you have already opted in to test, and we have your details on a small mailing list. Anyone else interested in helping out for the next phase, please fill in this form.
