Platform development

Also, if you could let us access our own profile pages instead of just editing them...

Hello and thanks for the feedback.

I will think about adding profile comments but I am not sure about this one, it needs some thinking because it can easily be abused. But we'll think about it, that's for sure. As I mentioned somewhere, I will add a link to your profile page inside the office  so that's not gonna be a problem to access it. Also I will a way to find the user's debates, forum posts and so on from his or her page, because it's missing now as well.

"Dictatorship" is a form of government, while Fascism is an actual political ideology. 

I'd also suggest: Progressivism and National Socialism. 

Pls add select profile information underneath the user avatar in the forums, such as post counts and debate leaderboard percentile. Those were handy in giving status for participation in DDO, which kept older members more invested in their accounts.

Lol. The debate button underneath people's avatars says "Obviously this person is not right... Challenge to a debate." I dig it.

Also can you make Escapism a life priority in our profiles? Ha, I'm just joking. But not really. I want it.

Are there notifications? Am i missing it?

You should get a notification for this post.

ok thanks

how about DArC? pronounced Darcy for the term for this site?

Will do :)

"Jump to recent" is a feature that would save time when opening up large threads with multiple pages.

Yeah, that should be easy enough, will do. But I want to jump to implementing the posts editing and it may take a while and then I'll back to the smaller issues :)

I know it's not too convenient to always scroll down but the pagination here is rather good and it will allow you to jump to the last page, so it's a temporary way to handle it :)

Some other handy features:

>A line of text under our name in our profiles indicating age, gender and location (based on privacy settings) eg I'd be a 21yo male in Melbourne, Australia.

>Clicking on a notification of a mention links you straight to the post that mentions you

>Add "Christian" to the list of possible religions

>Big issues stances

>Search function for members and forum topics.

Thanks again!

1) Easy enough, will do.

2) I'd need to look into it to see if and how it would work

3) No idea how I missed it. Will add it with the next deployment.

4) That's a good one but most likely will be implemented after we have finished all the required stuff for the forum and debates

5) Also easy enough but would need to time to come up with the design and placement.

nice, you're doing fab. I'm not sure I ever met you on DDO but I wish I had lol. 

Thanks, it's because I have no life haha I didn't really have any activity there, I mostly just read debates on interesting subjects but it's a pleasure to meet you here :)

It would be cool if clicking on the Forum button up on the header opened a dropdown list of subforums (art, religion, etc).

I was thinking that too, perhaps a number indicating the amount of new responses as well. But all in all it's a real nice forum.

Will you be planning leaderboards for things like post count, debate wins, etc?

Agreed, and the owner is very personable and responsive.

It would also be cool if clicking on the Activities bell opened a dropdown list of your notifications.

It will go much further than that, just give it time :)

Will do. Thanks.

Just to help you. A good term for a debate that's in 'argumentation' is 'currently debating' this would please speakers of all languages who speak English as a second language and would also please English native speakers as it makes clear, exact sense about the phase.

I am not gonna lie to you guys but at the moment, those things are not the priorities ( I mean the dropdowns and the like ) because there are so many more crucial things missing at the moment... (forum posts editing and moderation system to name a few). But! All those niceties will be implemented eventually, just not too soon :(

Yeah, somebody pointed that out a few days, I will try to get to it this week and change it, it's just a bit complicated.

I figured! no worries we're just talking this forum is great IMO I'm sure everyone is happy about it mostly. Even if it stayed this way.

I totally understand. Just wanted to throw it out there, it's not a matter of any urgency.

I noticed the other person pointing it you and you asking for suggestions of the exact wording. I was only trying to help and understand how much time it can take to code in something properly especially since this isn't your source of income (or at least isn't yet).

New changes:

1) Changed the "argumentation" status to "debating"

2) Added a way to jump to the last page of the forum topic

3) Added "christian" religion option

4) Added "forum posts" counter under the people's avatars for the forum posts.

Please note that the forum posts counter and other stats info is not real time, it has a delay of 5-10 mins, so don't get surprised if the numbers don't get changed instantly :)
