@Mica: I have honestly given up hope for that feature. :vanora_xd:

@Mica: I feel like they put a bandage on it with the test forum so let your hopes die. Its okay...I have been saving a place for it next to mine. Right here.

Generally when no progress is shown in something over a long period of time...it shows a great and concerning problem in the generally poor leadership of a project like this. If only it had more people and activity it could be forgiven, but alas when you have no features to speak of, you cannot attract people either.

I don't think this is a huge issue when there's a test forum open to work out post styles. I assume that that's what that forum is for.

Clearly, I also don't use post styles. Why clutter up my already scarce screen space?

@Eruca: Arrogance has nothing to do with it, I'm not asking for technical details, I am literally asking a simple..what are you working on? See a lot of people, mainly devs in various games, programs and platforms use a lot of these platitudes when talking to people. The "trust us", the "transparency" one and such, are all terms they use to keep people from asking questions while they work on "numerous" amazing features that seem to never come. Empty promises. Also...every person I've talked to even remotely in the staff, whether on discord or here, other people that I've spoken to who spoke to them as well all say the same thing about the answers they get from the staff. You can check anyone's discord log who's been there for the last few months. They speak of the transparency but nobody has any clue of what features we're getting...or when we're getting them. Now I don't personally really need a when, but a general knowledge of what's being worked on would be nice to have...especially since the site basically relies on people sticking around. And idle chit chat is fun, don't get me wrong, but sometimes you want to see something done with the place you've come to appreciate and like. So yeah, devs/mods/admins whatnot, speak nothing of their plans, act all high and mighty with the "I know of this amazing thing/feature that's coming but you don't haha" and expect everyone else to just sit quietly and wait patiently for such magical things to happen, while having nothing to really look forward to.

@Q t e a p o n: Thank you for that, but I was more talking about on what you were working on currently and for the future, not what you've already done. These changes are nice and it's nice to see them in writing, we might not understand what all of them are, but a list of things being worked on is always nice to see...gives a sense of something being done. It's a simple public service that hurts nobody, for I presume none of you have any reason to hide the possible features being worked on from us? That is what I'd love to know, and probably quite a few other folk. No malicious intent, just curiosity. Also discussions are one thing, but seeing the actual things that are being worked on are another....perhaps you won't even include 80% of the things discussed there. It is just nice to be informed.

@Q t e a p o n: That's very nice and fair of you. I appreciate that very much and I'm sure many other will too:) Hopefully better communication between the staff and the users comes off of this.

@Eruca: No I mean adding banners, showing off previous completed artwork, fanart, making forms, creating polls etc. Basically making walls of text more understandable, easier to read and better to look at. If you would take a look at many of the threads the first post usually says "I will make this pretty later". Usually people want to make a theme for hangouts and shops but on this site it is quite abit of work due to the lack of the tools Mica listed above. Most important of which is post preview which lets you know if there are any broken codes or links, see how it looks like overall and makes it much easier to edit.

Didnt we already have those?

Only its barely updated xD

@Saeyra: I see. It still looks like a minor inconvenience to me. Admittedly, post preview is the status quo of forums.

@Q t e a p o n: Your writing that after specifically mentioning my name made me think it was meant for me and not everyone in general.

That aside, is a developper blog/announcement a thing? I'm pretty new here so i dunno how things work but it might be more clear to let people hear from the devs directly instead of filtered down the pipeline. If it existed, people could just refer to that and not come here and fuss about transparency.
