Allow tab characters as-is -- at least in code blocks -- instead of auto-expanding them into spaces. This would make it easier to post and discuss code fragments in languages where tabs matter (Python, GDScript, Haskell, Makefile, etc.). Optionally, add a toggle somewhere to switch between new (preserve) and current (expand) behaviour.

I would like to see a fish net added to Raft. This would be a great tool for getting fish.

This forum really needs something like a flair in Reddit where when you click on it, you get the desired threads and also needs something like "Recently updated, most viewed" etc so that I don't have to click "Next page" to get where I want to. Also is the search bar for itch.io in here also searches forum threads or it is just for games and creators only? 

Please add the ability to edit and remove key groups.

I don't know if this is something that would be considered, or if this is the right part of the forums for it, but seeing as how there is a low distraction text editor (Left) that I believe is downloadable through itch.io, maybe there could be a small portion of the forums for writers and aspiring writers to exchange info on things that may help members of such a group. Just for instance I have a couple of short stories that I would have already submitted to some magazine for possible publication, but so far the requirements for all electronic submissions that I've seen require a cover sheet along with the work being offered. Exchanging info about such things would be great. Also it would be nice to have a place to share advice about writing (creative and other types) among people with like interests.

When browsing the forums, I would really much like to sort by most recent and most liked.

Right below the text Itch.io Community - there are 4 tabls - the 2nd one is Recent Posts - if you click on that it gives you the recent activity of the community.

Thanks.. I meant inside a thread though.

I also would like to be able to have threads list in the order of most recent to oldest if I choose.

dont allow people to self promote themselves by posting  video links in the comments, so that area can be filled with genuine criticizm instead

Allow complex tag search like e.g. on Pixiv:
3d (rpg OR adventure)

I hope that we can sort paid projects including the "on sale page" by price.

In fact,I hope to claim 0$ products on sale more efficiently especially when there is a large sale.

Yeah man. I would love that would be implementend soon

Hi guys! Nice to meet you! Need help. I'm a new Pixel Art student and need 150 views on my page (https://cezard.itch.io/)  for a class challenge. Can you help me? Just click on my page and the system will compute your view! You're welcome to comment on my job, but remember: I'm beginning in this! :) Thanks a lot!

This seems to be a dead thread, but as it is still stickied and the exact topic for this, here goes.

Is there not a simple way to view your own posts without digging through the whole list? If not, there should be a section in your profile or a prominent link to go to a list of your posts and see your replies all in one place. I'm new here, so apologies if I may have just missed it.

If I click on your avatar, it takes me to your community profile (on your creator page, scroll to the bottom and there's a link to your community profile) and a list of "recent posts". On my profile, the recent posts are actually  all of my posts that I know of, I don't know if that's true for everyone.

Thank you. I figured there must be a way that I just hadn't figured out yet. I still think it would be helpful if it was more prominent. It would be nice to have  a link for that at the top of the forum while logged in.

I agree, and since it's titled "Recent posts" it sounds like it may not show your entire forum history.

Is it possible to devide the games into pages and if not why not mage it so

I just realized that the (+X) next to the first line of each forum post is basically a counter of likes.

Would it be possible to make it clickable and to show who liked a post when you click it?

hey how'd you do that colored text?

is there a way yet to show the most recent comments on a thread first? Seems counter intuitive to have it backwards. 

A forum is by definition a linear ordering of posts, because it’s supposed to be an indefinitely-long conversation on a specific topic. Think bulletin boards, which used to be a lot more common, but still exist.

Though I admit, the fact Itch.io went for a strange hybrid between a list and tree (Reddit), and that posts become locked after an arbitrary time period, makes this point moot.

I mean, I get it, but wouldn't it make sense to show posts in reverse order on itch where the most recent posts are the most important and relevant? There should be at least a toggle to swap ordering by oldest to newest like many other forums.  I don't even have a page option and just had to scroll though 75 posts to see the most recent one and I have to do that EVERY TIME  someone posts something new.

Suggestion: Don't allow link text that's a URL different to the link target:

https://www.google.com

https://itch.io

This has come up in the current Ukraine bundle thread.

Forums should be used as a source of troubleshooting. I have seen users post technical questions or report bugs for games and a moderator tells them they should address the devs of the game directly. Devs should be encouraged to monitor these forums and answer questions here. The result would be a searchable database of knowledge specific to the itch platform. I have a problem with Minit and another guy seems to have the same problem https://itch.io/t/528364/itch-minit-and-linux and the thread has been archived. I cant even ask if he found a solution for his problem. For example, steams's discussion boards are very helpful for that. Lots of bug reported and fixes are discussed and can be found there.

Here's mine: No offsite links for accounts younger than 90 days.
