I don't know about rounded corners, but there's gotta be some web designer out there who could make the forums look less like other things I've seen before, and more like the home of Baldur's Gate 3 Dungeons & Dragons.
For functionality, passive engagement features would be nice. I think upvoting is good for forums because things like that are pretty feel good and innocuous. Downvoting is not, since it just encourages mean spirits.
Emotive stuff is cool, but I also don't really need hearts and smilies, when we could have like Dragons and Owlbears for that. I mean right?
Just seems like a job for the art department to me as much as tech support. But I am glad it exist at all. So I'll take whatever as long as it loads hehe
I had just assumed these boards were being DOS'd like every few hours, or that the game was just so insanely popular that my time zone/sleep schedule was always getting the raw end of the deal there.
For image attachments or a gallery I do think that would be a very useful feature. But that's just cause I'm a terrible rambling writer and an even worse typist, and images are often just much simpler and a more direct way to communicate.
But then if it's a server load issue, I dont know, cause that could be a lot of weight. The problem with the 3rd party image hosting is that those spots tend to go defunct every couple years, so the image links are bound to bust eventually which is kinda sad. I don't know that I need more notifications or anything like that really, cause I'd probably just turn those off anyway, but couldn't hurt I suppose.
I think anything they don't want to deal with they should just offload to some spot that's better for that. So like pushing over to the discord for some stuff where that makes sense, like just with signposts and such I guess perhaps.
Oh and a way to scale the embedding for video. That would be nice! Cause they still go pretty jumbo on the desktop display there.
Not sure, but I think any sort of love for the boards would surely be appreciated! Fingers crossed!
