OK, so here is where we are at with getting this place nice and fancied up.
Discord is plugged in so you can see who's online. Should work forever as its hooked through .js so any forum updates shouldn't break it.
Things from the previous forum:
Lightbox resizing of images and having images expand to a gallery works.
The quick reply now has the options you see at the top when doing advanced reply to save you some time.
Quick quote, just highlight the text you want to quote and a tooltip pops up saying quote (without right clicking).
That's pretty much where I am at. I plan to also implement a drag and drop feature for uploading files so they don't just show up as attachments, but rather in the middle of your post. This would work without using BB codes. {So no having to first upload to imgur or something and add an extra step}
Also will be fixing user group not showing on the "last post by".
The forum is pretty much good enough to run once we fill out the BOS/BOX side of the forums and maybe throw up another category?
Are there any categories/forums whatever that you would like to have?
I'm also going to work on improving everything to my {and your) standards in a closed environment on my PC so you guys dont have to watch me work through bugs hahaha.
Things I'll be working on in that:
1st: A responsive site. This way everything scales based on user resolution and device. Look at the forum on your phone... It drives me up a wall.
2nd: Custom SVG thread icons. A few of these are already made for testing. SVG icons also scale beautifully, and will be needed for a proper responsive site. (Cant be used now because BB only supports sprites, so I'll have to fix this myself)
Any similes you would like to have?
