Forum Feedback and Comments

It's really hard to filter out Finnish out of the profile posts. Basically the profile posts aren't forum posts, they are posts related to the user. For the future we might do a filter that would show the status updates only for users in the "English Users"-group (now every registering user get's either a Finnish user or English user-group depending on where he registers). We want to get the profile posts front and center though, as it is a new feature and we want to see what kind of use it gets.

The same problem is with signatures, on our previous system we did a lot of extra work to make additional fields for English side. It's likely that we will improve upon that in the future, but we needed to draw the line somewhere on what we can do for the first version. There is really a crapton of stuff that we have already done to make the experience as good for the two language forum as possible.

 

When there are about half dozen guys on the first day wanting to have a dark theme, we have worked to add a dark theme as well. At least @ejectme from the English side asked for this. So you can now select PokeriManiaDark in your user settings or if you are not logged in, at the bottom of the page there's a style chooser.

As our smilies are designed for white background and some editor buttons as well, we're adding a small lighter box around smilies to try to make them work better without a lot of additional work.

 

There are now options to login with Google, Facebook and Twitter accounts. We'll see if we're adding Twitch in the future as well.

There are some chat updates as well, you can now click the time next to the message and get instant @-mention generated to get a conversation rolling with other guys in the chat. You can also get an @-mention by starting with @ and writing 3 first letters and autocomplete will take care of the rest. Either click on the member you want, or select it all on keyboard with up-down arrows and enter.

 

I edited a small and easy to read list of jobs yet to be done. So when you're reporting bugs or requesting features, you can know now what we're working on already. Even if it's not new, comments will help in getting the priority order up.

 

Just a small new feature - now it's even easier to see our staff members. Coaches are marked in blue, Moderators are marked in green and admin is marked as pink.
