This is a bit OT, but if you have feedback, you should also send it in through the support hub. Site staff continued to say that they will not read this or any threads and only respond to feedback (well I guess its more they only read it) if you send it through the support hub as a ticket.
Its stupid in my opinion and I feel like its somewhat disrespectful towards the community but I just wanted to relay that information in case you do not know it yet. I still would like you guys to share feedback in here, as otherwise information or feedback gets lost in a system, where only site staff can look into.
Messages update:
- Error message for lengthy message (>2000 characters) should not be "Please specify a valid message." It should be "Maximum character length exceeded (2000)"
- Add small text showing the number of characters you have left while typing.
- For longer messages, change the text box to be larger so we can read everything we've typed.
- Error message for messaging yourself should not be "No recipients specified." It should be "Invalid recipient."
- Add the ability to message yourself, please :))
- Add text editor to messages so we can drag n drop and bold n quote n stuff (I bet that's in the works, though)
- It would be nice to have the same ability to like messages and link to messages (so long as a user has access to it)
- Load more than the most recent five recipients. Kinda wondering if this is a bug.
- When I do get all of the chats to appear (which I can't do consistently), the chats appear in an unscrollable list when I click on the messages icon. Would be nice if it were scrollable :))
- If the participant or group already has messages associated with them when they are selected, show the messages. I had to send a message to someone to see our message history.
- Add the ability to edit and delete messages.
- After sending a message to someone new, the chat should automatically open in the window instead of staying on the last chat opened.
- After leaving a conversation, it's impossible to see or access a chat when you message that user again. I'm not even sure they are receiving the messages lol. "This cannot be undone" is pretty harsh and means I can never message @Th3on3C again lol :((
- When leaving a chat, specify whether the user on the other end will still have access to the chats.
- When reporting a chat, specify whether that also means you are leaving the chat and whether the user on the other end still has access.
Would be nice to have the text editor available in mod hub so messages there can be formatted nicely :))
Would be cool, on a user's profile, to see an Also Runs and Also Mods section to see what games you have in common.
Ability to report a user from the three-dot menu in their profile / in messages. Should auto-fill their name in Support Hub or let you provide a reason.
It'd be nice if the random game option would take the platform you've filtered on into account. I don't care much for running Atari2600 games for example but they still show up in the random games.
I think the pencil means it's written normally, like a message, but the carrots (the arrows) mean it'll be shown in (HTML) code. Could be wrong though.
<HTML>
<h1> this is a message </h1>
</HTML>
I have no idea why but it's not doing anything so I don't think it does anything for now
Disable the message button on banned users' profiles, since messages won't load for them, anyways
I'd probably keep the follow button active because users could potentially be unbanned
On the submit news article page, a couple fixes:
succinct
Optionally**,** choose a game that this news story is about. (added comma)
This is an unofficial one, the other one was an official one specifically for the new site update.
Yeah this is an unofficial one, which sadly does not get read. IF YOU WANT THE SITE STAFF TO READ YOUR FEEDBACK AS WELL, PLEASE SEND THEM A SUPPORT REQUEST IN THE SUPPORT HUB!
