Also, consider using a font that differentiates between an I (uppercase i) and a l (lowercase L) to avoid accounts appearing to have the same name.

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.


Please improve my monitor's screen resolution; it is too low. I am sure there is some way you can go about implementing this in the code somehow.

This can be arranged, good sir. We can add this as a setting in the settings page. Thanks for your suggestion!

"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.

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.

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!

I'm sorry, that file doesn't exist. You clearly don't know how esoTalk's backend works.


An image proxy would be nice


being able to mention users by @ might be helpful

"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.

I can probably code a discord bot that will verify people when they put their discord in their esotalk account. DM me on my discord account if interested
