You don't understand the difficulty of what you're asking John to implement here. The forum's font is hardcoded into the software which means it's next to impossible to change and doing so would break all forms of backwards compatibility with every other esoForum. In short, this is not something we can just go and do with any measure of ease. The reasoning behind changing the font is unjustifiable anyways considering I have never seen impersonations of this nature. Indeed, I have yet to see any actual impersonations occur period. Frankly the difference between an uppercase I and a lowercase L are clear as day to me. In short, this is unnecessary and also technically very difficult if not impossible. Also who are we, discord? Changing your service's font is absurd.
"Hardcoded"? All it takes is a line of CSS to change the font. WTF are you talking about? And how is it going to "break" backwards compatibility? You are speaking nonsense right now.

This is a perfectly valid concern. I have been working on an Attachments plugin (which would let users "attach" both images and other files to their posts) for a few weeks now, and hope to unveil it within the following months.
Thank you admin, very cool!

Dude, do you not know anything about how CSS and fonts work? After asking John Mosley in his discord server, I got further clarification as to how this forum handles fonts. To BrandBox and mosley, I apologize for my obliviousness.

An image proxy would be nice
being able to mention users by @ might be helpful

this isn't discord. but thanks for sharing.
"this isnt discord" who cares the feature is still useful
There ought to be a (configurable) minimum post length, at the very least for starting conversations. I would recommend it be set to 700 characters as that is rather reasonable to expect from any single substantive post on the forum. This change would make this place a serious center for discussion rather than a place where zoomers sit around and use it like it's discord. The forum's original mandate has been twisted and Simon Zerner is rolling in his grave with each one of these one sentence or even one word posts. Not being able to muster at least one paragraph in any given post is pathetic and I find any forum that allows such chicanery to slide to be disgusting.
ayo can we get like pronouns and socials under ur picture on ur posts or smth?
instead of having "three weeks ago" a specific date would be preferred after a week has passed.
making the online members page live would be interesting if there were more people using the site.
For now I can just hold down refresh I suppose.
Can we make skin color verification so that we can make sure this is a whites only users. As an Aryan, I believe in segregation today, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever.
Can we please have pronouns in our profiles and underneath our usernames.
It is inclusive of all people. My pronouns are Xe/Xim
Add an option to switch to a normal thread page number nagivator, instead of only the slider.

While I am supportive of people by using their chosen pronouns, I don't think this would be a good idea simply because it would spark endless complaints about the feature being there.

I second this, even though I would probably stick to using the horizontal slider either way. What is a "normal" page number navigator?
the ability to add underlines seems strangely absent. It's not a major thing but you already have bold and italic.
doesn't quite do the same thing

Like the default pro-boards forum page navigator. Or for easier examples - look at Kiwifarms, they have numbered buttons for page navigation.

minor tweaks to the "external links" warning should be made. for instance, we know that sites like YouTube are "safe". unless heyfuckyouniggerspitsdonttouchmeyoufuckingweirdomin refuses to acknowledge such sites' reputation.
YouTube links should automatically be replaced with youtube-nocookie.com for obvious reasons. Google websites aren't safe, though. I hope that admin doesn't whitelist certain websites just because they're popular.

talk about shitty ui design!!!!! I didn't know this was a thing. What the FUCK fagmin?!
I prefer the slider
All of these suggestions are meaningless in comparison to the thought of adding back the "mac 'n' cheese" skin. If you know, you know.
