i did a whole bunch of things this week without really asking for input, and i think that was fine when we didn't have a lot of activity here, but now i think it's a good idea to solicit feedback for what could/should be done next. if the thing you want to propose or ask about is big then probably make a new thread, but if there are small things you want to mention then this thread is the place!

things like "it's annoying that this button is in this location" or "could this function do something slightly different" or "i want more topic icons" etc. etc.

i think its more or less good
a good feature would be to add like a link to link to a post if it makes sense
like say acdws post would be `#p37190`
wouldnt need to manually inspect element
idk if thats possible for u ^-^

Any scope for reaction emoticons/emoji on posts? I realize this may be too Web 3.0 but it’s nice to be able to acknowledge I’ve had a reaction to someone’s post without having to reply

this would be a cool plugin
https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... ttopicsng/

i would like to see a feed of new posts aggregated from each board and it seems this would do that

EDIT: i just realized i can see unread posts by clicking Quick Links > Unread Posts or New Posts, or just Recent Topics. I didnt realize these were there at first, this extension would make that functionality more obvious but its not really a big deal :tongue:

i have also found myself wanting this. i think as long as the reaction set is a carefully curated collection of anachronistic tiny gifs and not emojis we're good
