disliking posts might be a nice new feature. Much butthurt I sense...

Can we not have so many posts show up when quoting a post. It has that PR feel that I was never fond of.

YouTube embedding tags

More themes, especially dark mode

If possible more than just like, such as funny, agree, dislike…

Move user info on posts to the left. Basically if you can copy the layout of the BucZone

Spoiler tag

Slash through text

Not sure if you can have a preview show up of links. I have seen it on other bulletin boards. Especially when linking news articles.

Also limit the quoted post within a quoted post within a quoted post count. I think that had to be done at buczone too.

Rep points?


I thought of a few more. Basically tags for embedding any social media. Twitter, Instagram, ….


Sorry this is kind of a rolling consciousness.

Yeah, embedding from twitter would be nice.

Also, can we increase the avatar size limit to what it was at BucZone?

Twitter embedding
YouTube embedding

I’ve seen forums where there you could like, dislike, interesting, funny, angry, sad react to posts. Keeps things concise rather than a bunch of “lol” posts in response. Though I think that was a Xenforo build, not phpbb

Definitely clean albeit a little juvenile.
Agreed. Some unnecessary stuff going on.

This place needs to have substance without being overwhelming.

Mooz just got this place up and running a day or two ago, then put a team together. Let's give them some time.

I bitch about pretty much everything but not going to complain about those contributing time and money so we call all continue to bullshit.
No complaints FYI. Just throwing my two cents out there about the future.

I’ll look into avatar size. Sticking with the “standard” sig limits unless someone has a convincing argument otherwise seems prudent to me.

This would be nice. Should be an easy fix.

Speaking of Comrade, I hope he registers as that name. Or just MB. CrestviewBuc doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Not sure if mentioned, but having a clicked link automatically open in a new tab was another nice feature of BZ I'd like to see here.

Sig line restrictions set

Avatar size increased 25% ( I see admin did this as well. Guess its a BOGO Thursday. Will monitor.)

Posts per page increased to 35.

Previews should be set.



Unfortunately updating the board scheme (poster info on left, rep system, style, etc. is probably going to require taking the boards offline to implement. I don't want to do this quite yet until I've got more prepared than just a dark theme. I'll touch base with the mod team and determine an appropriate time (likely on a weekend as traffic tends to be lighter).

Preview of thread topic by hovering over title so one doesn't have to open the thread. I mean, who wants to boost JB's read count?

Input pictures/graphics/etc. I don't recall what we used to have at BZ, something like TinyPic, before it was lost to us. Kind of a pain to have to go to some hosting site and download then upload a link and then come back in here to drop said picture off. My 60 yr old mind, what's left of it, can't seem to keep up with all the steps. I was nice being able to drop something from my phone directly into the post.

I'm sure it is obvious, but how do we change the theme? This powder blue is hurting my eyeballs.

Patience. It requires the board be shutdown. It was mentioned being done this weekend.

Fixed this. You should be able to simply post pics directly from your phone now. Click the attachments button.

Clean look. Ours may have a dark theme to it. I appreciate all the input and it’s not taken as negativity. Keep it coming.

It’s now been limited to two. Let’s see how the board feels about that.
