Now that Almost Recommended is a subforum with entry requirements rather than a thread, there's a gap in the market of fic discussion.

Much of DLP reads guilty pleasures that aren't good enough to make it into the library and often fail to make it even into Almost Recommended. The problem this creates is that much of the forum may be reading a fic but unable to discuss it because the thread for that fic has gone into the Trash Bin.

I propose that we make it so that fics can continue to be discussed even after moved to Trash.

A quick and fairly easy to implement system that adds a small, out if the way icon to posts that indicate the wba wordcount a user has achieved. Milestones to be decided but 20k, 50k, 100k and over are possible.

Intended to stimulate wba posting.

To make it easier to read and re-read large WBA threads, rather than sorting through potentially hundreds of replies to find old chapters. This would be particularly useful if the thread isn't bookmarked properly.

Make it so people can be mentioned or quoted in a group thread and be somehow notified of it. Alternatively, it could be made so the group owner can somehow draw the attention of all group members. That way owners don't have to PM everyone to let them know that there's something in the group for them to look at.

This reflects the fact WBA =/= For Review. WBA is for feedback on first drafts, it doesn't make sense to be rating fics there like a review section. People leaving ratings without any feedback in WBA can be actively harmful.

Ability to embed GFYs. They load so much faster than GIFs.

A new icon on the main dashboard (where User CP et al is). It would have a number beside it to let you know how many alerts. Users could customize it to their own preferences.

Alert on thread updates, post likes, when somebody quotes you etc.

I know we have the subscribe feature, but nobody wants a dozen emails each day.

Currently it can be a real challenge to get a story from a text document into a forum post with correct formatting.

Is it at all feasible to implement the ability to upload a file onto the forum and have formatting converted correctly automatically? This would be a huge improvement on the many tedious workarounds people currently go through. See this thread: https://forums.darklordpotter.net/showthread.php?t=28446

Currently at least "Stages of Hope" are not appearing ( https://forums.darklordpotter.net/showthread.php?t=22471 ) - (note story is in recycle bin, but it is hidden both with enable and disable option "recycling bin off")

Default font-ing a chapter and going through the whole thing to add back in all of the italics and bolds and such is a minor annoyance, but it is an annoyance.

Or maybe a flag for the thread starter to set, to alert subscribers of a new chapter.

A subforum in Real Life Discussion that only has music threads inside it, along with music based TV shows, such as X-Factor or American Idol.

Rubicon suggested,

An idea that came to me while reading through some library threads:

Show a breakdown of the votes by rating, rather than just an average. Something like this:

So you could see at a glance, for instance, whether a 3-star story got all 3-star reviews, or an even split of 1-star and 5-star reviews, etc.

I want a new theme for DLP, something more modern. I want full PC integration. Raven didn't build Patronus Charm because it wanted it to sit and look pretty. He wanted it used. Maybe do something more with that FFFN filter that Moatra built. A link on the main DLP header, something directing traffic to it, since its now hosted on DLP's server.

These things I think will generate more traffic.

Basically, if someone replied in the time between you seeing the last post and replying to it, don't submit your post but show you the new reply.

Be able to mark threads as picture-intensive threads. These threads, when opened, only load images in unread posts. You have to click a button to load the pictures already posted.

Purpose is to prevent the annoying "thread scrolls away from you as you try to look at pics" effect.

Militis, Custer, Gizmore, KrzaQ, Portus, Purple, Rubicon, Silens Cursor, TheSoundOfSilence, Xantam, and Zennith all suggest.
