Post here for suggestions to improve the forum or if you find something isn't working the way it should.

Any chance of adding something navigational to the bottoms of pages, so there's no need to scroll back up through multiple posts to get back to the drop-down lists? Even just a link to the homepage or the top of the current page would be an improvement.

Why the heck did I get a PM about policy update? It was from Proboards. Why should it concern me, I'm not an admin. Is my privacy at risk or something?  |

Because of new Online Privacy laws passed by The European Union.

Any internet-based site or service with users and/or servers based inside the EU is now subject to the new online privacy laws (as noted by Magnus). I've personally been getting a least one a day on average for the last two months as each company updates theirs (Facebook, Twitter, Amazon etc.). I'm surprised this is the only update you've received!

Alex, it looks like the site has been spammed.

Have banned the user. We'll see what happens. |

Can threads be deleted? I've got all these polls cluttering up the forum that have expired.

The polls should lock automatically when they expire.
IMO, even when the polls have closed, they're still a more worthwhile part of the board than jmisbest's tedious 'Rate my ludicrously overpowered and overequipped character' threads.

Fair enough. The polls lock on the date I choose when I create them, so that's not an issue. I'm happy to keep the threads, I didn't know how people felt about having them all there at once.

I have been wondering for awhile what those posts are all about. I noticed a bunch of similar ones and "can someone do me guides" posts all over the Lone Wolf forums too. Are they a gamebook designer doing market research? That was all I could come up with. |

Anyone else finding the forum a bit 'sticky' the last couple of days? Other forums I frequent seem to be ok, but it seems a bit sluggish at the moment.

Some sort of big in the forum, sometimes it takes me to a different website altogether without me even clicking on anything. Fortunately for me it is blocked by my internet provider but could be bad news for other users.

It's stopped doing it now, fortunately. I am on fire os with the silk browser. |

FORUM UPDATES!
*Have added a dice rolling plugin to the forum. You click on the dice button once for each roll you want to make. The numbers rolled will appear when the post is... posted.
*Set a minimum of 5 posts before a new user can PM another user.
*Linked videos should now be auto-embeded rather than remaining links.
*Added a thread necromancy warning for thread with no posts over 365 days gone.

I don't know if the admins can do anything about it, but the forum is no longer accessible at all if you're not logged in. IMO this is really bad when it comes to attracting new members: you have to sign up to the forum before you can even see what's in it.

Agree with Pip above. The site does have a problem with spam, but making everyone be a registered, logged in member before they can access is an awful solution, and is completely unfair on those more casual readers of FF (which if anything we should be trying to attract).
