Things Elo needs to do

I’d like to add that mobile leaderboards are still terrible. The change made them much worse to use; they need to either be reverted to the old format or given another update.

One alternative/addition to comment notifications that I suggested through the support hub is they could add a little indicator showing how many comments each run has, like what the Mega Man Leaderboards have. I suggested this because I figure the notification system breaks down often enough that they might not want to subject it to the additional stress from comments.

Ah yes. https://i.imgur.com/QgMbfq1.png

The worst offender of them all. A custom flair. Very harmful to add. Actually, perhaps a wysiwyg editor might be useful for some folks, or quick access to a cheat sheet for the BBCode syntax would be great.

Look at these very harmful flairs

And I knew you would still not get it. But hey, thats fine and totally fair. Not everyone wants the forums to be improved, yet they are lacking a lot of features as @Garsh wrote down here (and that you can find on other forum threads as well).

I also pointed out how they are not pointless. I guess ignorance is a bliss. I know I can't convince you, which is why I am now mocking you for your ignorance and arrogance towards people that want the forums to improve. You could also actually debate the points that have been made or leave it be.

Oh and another thing that I forgot to mention earlier for the forums: A search function is IMO very important to add @Garsh so people can search for threads and questions to avoid double posts. Also perhaps having the forums show potential threads that might already contain the answer to a thread someone is about to create.

People wanting these flairs so they can write "I'm a cow not because I eat grass, but because I get milked by society" or some weird shit like that. Flairs are inherently cosmetic QoL and - even if they're on the list of future ELO updates - it is very likely at the very bottom.

I was wondering what people thought of adding a poll option to news posts? I think it would be an easy way to ask a community’s opinion.

Those points make sense. In a perfect world, simple features like that should not destabilize the website. I do agree a whole forum overhaul would be a massive undertaking but I think it is genuinely worth the effort. Considering the usage of the forums and the double posts we get, even a search engine would be great. I also do agree that Leaderboards are of the upmost importance as well as the general site management. But I would still love to have the forums getting improved somewhere down the road. It does not need to be immediately.

I think the biggest problem and misunderstanding is the priority of certain features. Custom flair was also just brought up from me as it is one of the simpler things to implement into the forums.

I wholeheartedly agree with the points you brought up above. The site is in such a messy state :x

Overall, I am sorry that I behaved the way I did towards you as I genuinely misunderstood you and your intentions. Thanks for clearing it up.
