As another suggestion similar to the one I made previously, it'd be nice to see perhaps who's idling on the forum at any given time. That would be helpful once direct messages are implemented, or perhaps just the ability to post back and forth with people in a more fast-paced manner because you know they're there, too.

So maybe a feature that would show if a user isn't currently active (as in if they've been viewing a forum thread or the forum home page for a while it shows their status as idle.) Is that what you're suggesting?

Well, I guess two things.


1) An icon by their name indicating if they're online (viewing the forum) or not.

2) A list or count of users currently online. I like the simple look and feel of the forums so far, so I wouldn't really sacrifice that for a long list of names, but knowing how active the forums are would be nice for maximizing views and activity.

Both of those features have already been suggested by me however I added your name anyway.

Ah, sorry! Guess I missed it when I looked over the first post.

Guys sorry for the late replies. I've been in town centre all morning so I wasn't able to reply to your posts here.

@Sun-Studios: I've added your suggestion to the list.

@SolarLune: Both of your suggestions were already on there under my personal list of suggestions I've added your name anyway.

Oh, hey, I didn't see this on the first page, so maybe it wasn't suggested. @ tags so we can tag specific users in our posts would be nice. For example, in @Mark_G / @archangeltom's previous post, I wasn't notified, and this post won't notify him that I mentioned his name, either.

I've added your suggestion to the first post.

If possible, please add thread icons (percentage completed, done, cancelled) for devlog thread titles, like this: https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?board=27.0

This way you can see the status of a project at a glance.

I've added your suggestion.

I'd like to suggest for Mark to get an avatar, it's a shame to see such good work maintaining the top post & just the placeholder avatar next to it :) C'mon!

Best suggestion yet.

Suggestion added to first post, although I've always had trouble deciding when it comes to forum avatars lol.

Email notifications are a bit confusing.

  1. Replies have the first link being the reply itself, and the second link being the thread it was in.
  2. Posts on a thread you started have the first link being the thread itself, and the second link being the new post.
It's just confusing enough to make me have to stop and re-read it to figure out which link I want to click.

Suggestion added.

Please duplicate the breadcrumbs at the page bottom, it's not a big deal but I'm lazy.

Suggestion added.

  • Music forum. I want to share my adventures with music-ering and stuff.
  • You know the "reply to the main post" button? That should also be underneath the main post, because you just read through a massive message and now you have to scroll all the way back up to even reply. It's just out of sake of easiness.

I've added both of your suggestions to the first post.

we've added a new music forum: http://itch.io/board/11600/music

Added implemented next to the audio forum suggestion.

And now I have a profile image I can add add implemented next to the suggestion of me getting an icon lol.

  • An option that would make it so all threads are "subscribed" (ie. the thread names would be in bold if someone posts something, even if the thread hasn't been viewed before)
  • A "mark all as read" button for the whole forum.
  • The layout of the "next/previous/first" page links seems weird to me. I would find it more logical if they were ordered "First page - Previous page - Next page - (Last page?)", but maybe that's just me.

Suggestions added to first post.

It looks like we can now subscribe to the threads :D . You can mark it as implemented !

Done

True support for inline code snippets would be nice.

This is cool

But I'd like to be able to add some code as part of a sentence without going through the HTML editor and have it appear with a slightly gray background, like code blocks.

Even more awesome would be syntax highlighting for code blocks! highlightjs.org does automatic language detection.

Added to first post.

Hey, is this available now?  (I can't seem to figure out how if it is.)  If not, is there an entry in https://github.com/itchio/itch.io/issues ?  (I can't find one so will log if not.)

Thx

Logged as https://github.com/itchio/itch.io/issues/1000 in case that helps track/vote.

All fully implemented suggestions have been removed from the first post to clean things up.

okay so i thought i saw this before but i've searched the list here and the github page and i cant find it--for devlogs and stuff, there should be an option to reverse the post order so newer stuff comes up first.

I have a suggestion, I would like to be able to tag a point in the Analytics tab in the Downloads graph. Be able to write a short text as an explanation (ex. Retweeted by Unity). Could be fun if you look back and happen to see a spike and wonder what happen then.

This has probably been mentioned before ,but we really need a way to get our steam codes when a game has progressed on to the steam store.

I've yet again been wasting my time time chasing up another game ,this time it's Broken Dreams (under New Reality Games) .

There doesn't seem to any way to be contact them.

Some games have a comments section ,so at least you can ask by leaving a message but this one is just the game with no where to contact the dev.

Do they do that on purpose ? :P

Added to first post.

Sorry for the late reply on this one. I actually added this suggestion a while back but I was caught up in other stuff at the time and I ended up forgetting to let you know that I put it up there.

Hi, since the posts in a thread are not in chronological order I have to re-read the whole thread every time I want to read the new posts. Not very convenient to say the least. I would prefer the posts to be in chronological order like in most web forums.

The posts are already in chronological order except for replies to other posts within a thread.

So I'm assuming what you want is for the current reply system to be scrapped and replaced with the more conventional quote block system to keep all posts in chronological order. Am I right?

Yes, unless you can think of something else… I suppose there could be a "jump to next unread post" button, however determining what post the user has already read isn’t very easy to do.

(1 edit)

Nah I'll put your original suggestion down. Personally I prefer the conventional quote block style as well.

I'll add it to the first post now.

Cool, thanks!

eh?

I'm surprised there's no "itchio help/questions" section of a forum? maybe new folks don't know how certain things work, or where they can find a feature, so maybe a forum with some general FAQ/tutorial stickies about using the site and a place for people to ask other questions might be useful?

Some means of searching threads or game forums would be nice.

Adding that now.

I would really like:

1. A mouse sensitivity option available in the controls section please, right now its very slow.

2. An option to toggle the "auto darkness" when looking at bright things, like the forge, in the graphics section. This effect basically makes my whole screen go pitch black besides the bright object I look at.

3. A way to key bind in the controls section.

Other then that I love the game!

This is a reply made during Alpha_02, if someone is wondering.
