Forum Suggestions

@Firebreath I have a few suggestions for your Forum that can help a lot. If you decide you want them, let me know so I can send you the instructions.

First off, As you see here, your topic and Global/Pinned announcements are all together http://prntscr.com/628nt9

You can make a table that automatically Separate announcements from topics. It will look like this: http://prntscr.com/628njg As you can see the brown border in between separates both Topics and Important posts.


Another thing I suggest which would help you a lot with colors and I mean a lot is making your Text editor use it's features while you are writing. Example If I wanna type in red you know the bb code would appear surrounding what you want in red, or bold etc. You can make it possible to type in bold or any font color and have a pallete that looks like this http://prntscr.com/628oto


NOTE: These are not any coding things. These are mere Admin panel features you can activate and works for any edition of forums.

LOL i would most defiantly like the more colors... ive already started running out on colors for different characters, and the announcement table would be useful

To separate your Topics from announcements do this:


ACP > Display > Structure and Hierarchy > Split Categories on Index > MEDIUM. > Save.

Your Categories will be separated and the forums will be more organized.


For the Text Editor features do the same for the next 2 instructions

ACP > General > Messages and Email > Configuration >

Activate the WYSIWYG mode by default in the posts: YES

Type of the editor colors palette : EXTENDED

Save.

Go to a topic and take a look how everything works in the text editor
