I agree with Schrute. Reactions and updoots are the kind of stupid popularity-contest features that websites for normalfags like Reddit are bound to have.

For discussing new suggestions, please see the conversation Suggestions thread; this thread has more to do with the order of implementing (and checking off) changes planned to be made to the software.

Having reactions would be nice.

No, it wouldn't. Half-brained suggestions like this would be the death of this forum is followed. Porting over features from other platforms, such as discord, takes away from the forum's uniqueness. When the features are something as braindead as reactions, which appeal primarily to the youth of today whose attention span is no longer than that of a YouTube short, you degrade the overall quality of the forum and its posts. Such a feature doesn't mesh with the forum as it currently stands. It would be out of place and simply doesn't belong in a forum where posts longer in length than a text-message are supposed to be lodged. If you want reactions, go use discord. Don't try to drop a massive steaming turd that isn't even Andy Sixx's in here.

Colored text when?

Core software

~~If the enabled forum skin's number of colors is 0 or less: changeColor() should return false~~, colors should not render on a user's settings, and the c (color) class for posts should default to 1. Partially implemented; the rest was deemed redundant.
If you make a new conversation, make it starred by default
More robust e-mail verification system. Separate values for manual and e-mail verification. Require verification if a user changes their e-mail.
Show account creation date on hover if "last active" is "never" on user's profile

Post formatting

Add checkboxes ([] / [X]) to posts for better todo lists!
~~Maximum length of quotes; longer quote may be suffixed with “...”~~ Max-height added to blockquotes!
