Nothing I would add or change that I can think of.
I am against the don't like thumbs down option.
Thank you for all you do to make this site so awesome!!

That's a cookie setting on your tablet/computer/phone, not on the board. I use the board from my laptop and it keeps me logged in. But as soon as I log in from my iPhone, it logs me out on the laptop and I have to log in again, and vice versa. Also you might have your computer set to delete cookies after each browser session, and that will log you out too. I love the board as it is, but the "hugs" clicker option is my favourite idea on this thread. That would be great! Thanks admin, and happy 2nd anniversary everyone! Save. I pea on my iphone 99 percent of the time. If you have my suggestions how to fix it, I'd appreciate it! I googled and found this. help.overdrive.com/customer/portal/articles/1481678-how-to-enable-cookies-on-your-mobile-deviceThere's also I Password setting I found in the same section where you can add a site and the password for it. I'll give it a try today...

Linda I would love to have a button for 'active topics' that brings up all the posts on ALL the boards that have been posted to in the past day or week or (best of all) since my last visit to the board. This already exists! On the home page scroll down to the Information and Statistics section (see screenshot below) and there is a Recent Threads link which will do that - just keep reading through until they don't have a New button next to them, and that's when you were last on the board! Thank you! Thank you too! I didn't think I was seeing the same thing but I wasn't on the Home page.

Don't change the recipe board back to NSBR. I like it the way it is, but maybe keep adding to it (if it isn't already) with recipes that seem to be popular when there is a thread on the NSBR.

I'm not using the app either and I clicked "reply" and didn't see anything called "add attachments". So the one thing I'd like to see is to make it easier to post photos! (especially for us "challenged" people ) That is so me....anything electronic or pc related is me....I do not have an iphone either, just a little flip one....but would love to post pictures on here....

Love the board just like it is! I'm usually on my phone, but I find it pretty easy to switch to the desktop version in order to post pictures, links, or videos.

Another board I frequent, (WeddingBee), the OP posts show up as a different color (green) and the responders are white. It is so easy to scroll through to see if the OP comes back to reply. You just look for the green.

Thanks Admin! And about posting photos -- I'm the one who, I think, started that part of the discussion. And thanks to Jenjie I've downloaded the tap-a-talk app and the photos are now EASY! lol. That's what we need to get the word out about ... how easy it is to use that app to post photos. Why didn't I have it before? I have no idea. Why doesn't everyone download it? I have no idea. lolol. I'm not even using it for most of my board viewing, just when I want to post a photo. You can be that I'll be in every photo thread from now on!

YES! Me too. But I used to use Safari and only just switched to Firefox. I thought it was just that Firefox behaved differently from Safari. I've gone back to having a Safari window open for this site and Firefox for everything else. SaveI have had the same problem for a while (like months and months) and use google chrome on an HP laptop. I figured it was something that I did. Ditto here! It happens to me using Tapatalk.

Poll votes should count as posts. A poll can be fun but they slide off the first page pretty quickly if all posters just vote.

On Ravelry (a knit/crochet forum) - you have several buttons - not just a "like button"
If I could change one thing - I would add these buttons Agree; Disagree; Like; Dislike; Funny; Interesting
I would make it so you can see how many people hit each button, but you wouldn't necessarily see who do Example: Agree (4); Disagree (1); Funny (2), etc.

Is there a way for the mobile site to show the OP of threads instead of the last person who posted? I can't do anything to change the mobile site at all I'm afraid (so that applies to your other suggestion also) Continued thanks admin for this place! My only suggestion would be to make the scroll to top or bottom arrow at the side of the page have two arrows so it could go either way from the middle? I thought I would be able to but I tried and apparently not, sorry. I'd like that too. Another board I frequent, (WeddingBee), the OP posts show up as a different color (green) and the responders are white. It is so easy to scroll through to see if the OP comes back to reply. You just look for the green. Love that idea. I'll investigate Poll votes should count as posts. A poll can be fun but they slide off the first page pretty quickly if all posters just vote. Not possible unfortunately.

TL:DR Could do it, but wouldn't work on mobile. You get another vote

I'd love a way to move some of the recipe posts over to the recipe board so that there is only one place to look. We need to use the recipe board more, I appreciate how it's broken down by topic. p.s. also another huge THANK YOU to admin

Just tag me in a reply to the thread that needs moving and I can oblige.

I agree with the others who said we don't need a dislike button. People will use it for not what is intended.
I disagree, however, that having a hugs button will discourage people from posting. I think the main use for the button would be for difficult posts where we want to show support, but a like just seems wrong. People who are already clicking like would just click the hug instead, so still the same result, just a fuzzier feeling.

Speaking of colors maybe more basic colors for the settings in the profile? I was just playing with in the setting some of them are super bright. But it would be nice to have a few more options.

The only thing I can think of is to be able to see the next day's birthdays. Although, I may be the only one interested in that. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this place.

admin I just thought of one as I was reading a thread.... When someone adds a website link in their post or reply the link is almost the same color as the rest of the text and often I miss them completely. Is there a way to make the links appear in a brighter contrasting color? Or... is this something we can already change for ourselves and I just don't know about it yet? lol eta: omg... lol. In an effort to see the change where the OP and OP's subsequent posts are all in green I changed my forum settings. I thought someone said the "pea green" one would show that change, so I switched to that. It doesn't show the OP green thing but it does solve my problem with the contrast between a link and the surrounding text! rofl. I did love the purple color I had it set on, but I think I'll stay with one that shows the contrast better. lol
