How are we doing? Post your criticism here.

I can set up a time for regular maintenance / optimization, but we may have to get a better hosting plan. Currently the most reasonable seems to be to go up to the 10 bucks per month option.

Edit:

A tip is to not use the recent posts on index as that gobbles resources, so I'll shut down that for now.

Damn, personally - I haven't really noticed much in terms of performance issues - and I love that feature, it lets me know immediately at a glance where the most recent discussions have been.

If it's put up to a vote, I'd vote to live with some slowness in the site if it means having the recent posts on the index.

Maybe, but do you use the unread posts / replies buttons on the top left? They're good for that sort of stuff.

I hadn't even noticed that function honestly - thanks! That should work for the need.

I propose a one post quote limit.

Its getting annoying reading posts where there are three or four quoted posts inside it, it's just unnecessary.

If people disagree then OK.

[Lexi Darling]

I agree. It's cluttering and it's a hassle to delete the nested quotes on mobile to make it more presentable.

@jimmy jazz & @Mrs. Waffles - did you guys vote in this poll?

For the record, I agree with you! I spend far more time removing unwanted quotes from my quotes than I would do adding them in (which is anyways easier). I tried to explain this in the above thread, but it seems not enough people believed me

Looks like the yes voters were confusing multiquotes with quotes inside quotes inside quotes. I say just get rid of it.

I voted BTW.

[Lexi Darling]

I hadn't seen that poll, I just voted. Thanks!

[Guybrush]

Alright. Let's try it

edit:

Done!

[jimmy jazz]

Victory is ours!

That's a chilling thing to say. Chill out.

The website is nice, one thing that kind of sucks is how you cannot upload photo thumbnails like on city-data & musicbanter. Where there is a small icon of the photo and it becomes larger when you click it, compared to just a large photo posted here.

Yes, it IS possible to also have that functionality here, but we early on decided it could be a minefield in terms of legality.

It would mean people could upload pictures we or they do not own and which we can't legally host.

It would also mean people could upload illegal stuff like child porn.

I'm obviously not suggesting members of our current community would do this, only commenting on the technical possibility. It might even be a way to attack us. So for these reasons, it just seemed best not to enable uploads.

However, I'm willing to discuss anything. Maybe there's a way to enable it or special circumstance that makes it not a threat.

I just figured since city-data and musicbanter both have that thumbnail feature you folks would too. If no thumbnail option then what about the auto-resizing feature city-data has where it fits the screen and you can click the top to make it larger? I don't see anything else that could make this website better. The notification feature you have is a major plus compared to musicbanter. Plus the hearting/liking of posts is another better feature that musicbanter never upgraded to.
