    suggestion: Quality of Life forum features

    I wanted to suggest some 'quality of life' features for the forum:
    1. infinite scroll / pages style toggle switch
    2. black&white swap for the text and text containers coloring toggle switch
    3. page background black/white toggle switch (if we are sticking with blank and not using images)
    4. activity indication for the topics and posts: who's writing, who left the like, who's reading
    5. "this post is funny" button
    6. Wrap all categories into dropdowns, to be able to close those you're not interested in
    Now what do you think of thoes and what other features you guys want implemented ?
    Feel free to link your already existing particular threads on the matter here too.

    I thought infinite scroll was a web 3.0 menace and everyone hated it. I know I do.

      That's why it's explicitly behind the toggle haha,
      I kinda liked the thing tho!

    Adding the "mouseover/hover" suggestion by the Mr. Limp Dick here:

    "i've noticed that not that many elements, that could use a mouseover, on this page have a mouseover..."

      I've been on forums with the ability to rate posts with like, dislike, funny, hate, wtf, etc. and I think that'd be nice to have here. I'm sure we could come up with some better ones that'd suit the site.

        I like the idea of multiple reactions besides like. Is there a spoiler tag function? I can't find one. If there's not one, that.

          For me, the like button is the "this post was funny" button. I don't think we need any more buttons of the sort. Other than that, I like these suggestions. Maybe for the backgrounds, there can be a different themed background for each subforum. People who like those subforums could contribute art for the background and make that space on the website more their own.

          Also, quick question. What's up with the empty bar beneath our usernames?

            As for the "funny" button, i think it will be just another way to "like" the post, let's say there's 2 "funny" and 2 "likes" , well, for real it's still the 4 likes.
            It just adds to the expression, imo, without losing the original "upvote" meaning.
            That's how i'd imagine this

            hmm, i'll probably link all the previous threads, suggesting the dark mode, here as well

          I think night mode is a good idea.

            Spoiler tags... I want spoiler tags... and Admins who pin topics so we don't get a bunch of thematically too similar ones 😑
