Being alerted to mod warnings would also be nice.

Can we increase the number of posts per page? Pages feel very short as is.

There's a piece of phpbb code that allows users to set this themselves in preferences, which would be ideal, but increasing it sitewide would be good too.

Done.
I'm more easily reached at classpectanon#4228 on Discord. I will respond to reports faster there because PHPBB's notification system is borked and doesn't email me when you report things.

Please! I love roleplaying forums. My first major interest was a roleplay on a forum! :candy:

I would suggest not allowing attachments, to save on server space and to ensure no one uploads malicious files. It's best to allow off site hosting of images and gifs in places like imgur or tumblr, etc.

More profile options and settings if possible, like making age or birthdays public or private (unsure what will happen in the forum birthdays tab on the main page if birthdays aren't shown on profiles. Will they still be announced?)

Options for a general about that people can put info in as they please, etc.
Seconding this. It feels somewhat like a privacy breach to not be able to hide the age or birthday.

I'm actually trying to figure out how exactly to hide them from other users as is. Not exactly sure how to. Working on it.

How does friending work exactly? Does it send notifications?

Okay, if you set your birthday year to --, it hides your age from your posts. I've already disabled forum-wide birthday announcements. That's all I can do at the moment since the birthday function is being... finnicky.

the [font] tag seems to be missing so far! the original forums allowed you to format text in different fonts like Courier (handy for MSPA dialogue!) or Comic Sans (handy for evil, evil things!) and a few other standard web fonts. would that be implementable?

A post upvote system would be neat just so I can throw a little bit of clout someone's way and they can faint at the attention

I figured out how to do this by selecting the "--" option at the top of the list for both date, day, and year

I dunno how much control you actually have over the physical coding of the site but if this little button could be a little bigger it would certainly make jumping to the new posts a little less finnicky

Another style issue; purple "clicked on" thread titles are basically invisible against the dark grey background.


Also, summarizing some of the previous suggestions that I think are worth bringing up again:

- RP Forums
- Style issues with the header
- Profile fields for discord, pesterchum

Also, can we add a link to bookmarked/followed threads in the header? I have that page bookmarked, but a quick navigation to a list of subscribed threads would be really helpful

Simple suggestion: add a favicon (could be just a tiny MSPA head)
