| Would it be possible to enhance (or better yet, replace) the forum interface
to allow functionality like the following:
- Likes and other reactions to posts and comments (a sometimes useful indicator
of whether a view is widely shared or an outlier; and also enables people to
chime in without having to post their own "me too" comments)
- Ability to quote more than one prior comment (without having to do so totally
manually)
- Ability to reply to more than one comment if the prior comments are in different
sub-branches of the thread
- Ability to edit comments rather than cancelling them altogether and starting
over
It seems there are a good number of simple, plug-and-play forum software systems
around today that enable such features and much more without a whole lot of administrative
setup effort.
Thanks!

Well, the Studio forum disproved that….

As opposed to the literally 1000s of web forums all over the internet that have
this basic functionality and are perfectly well maintained with far fewer human
and financial resources than BL has?
This is quite easy to do. This forum software is antiquated - it's hard to
imagine how anyone could reasonably dispute that.

It's not so simple as that. Yes, we need more features, but a plug-and-play
system won't work. Parts of our Catalog system work extensively with the
Forum. We can't just throw that away. The entire process would need to be
reworked and developed.
Look in Topics to the entire Reference Catalog section.

Plus, aside from discord, I haven't yet met a Forum that worked as well as
this one. That is, once you learn the functions and get past the vintage graphical
interface.  Most forums also have too much visual clutter.

Thanks for your reply. I hadn't considered the question of catalogue integration
- thanks!
However, with respect I do have to say that the archaic thread structure and
the inability to edit a post or comment(!) has nothing intrinsically to do with
catalogue integration and I remain skeptical that at least comment editing couldn't
be implemented without requiring a total ground-up rework.

Just curious... What's wrong with the thread structure? To me, it seems extremely
straightforward. I can easily read any message or any thread within a message
by using the 2 links at the bottom of the page. (Entire thread on one page, etc.)
I can also quickly find replies I want to read by scanning through the visual
message tree.

I understand that reasonable people can differ on the question of the thread
structure.
One aspect I would cite is that people routinely post comments that repeat information
in other comments in the thread... because those other comments are part of a
different "branch" of the thread.
But I would hope we could all agree that something as basic as being able to
edit a comment instead of having to cancel the entire thing and start over, would
be useful and isn't too much to ask - yes?

Okay, but there is also the advantage of being able to easily ignore a thread

frivolities)

Yes, and no. Personally, I think being able to edit and fix spelling or grammar
would be great. However, I wouldn't like it if people were able to change
what they originally posted derailing or redefining the entire conversation.
Also, the new text from the edited post wouldn't populate into any existing
responses that copied the text from the original. So, then there would be more
than one version floating around the discussion. That's not good either.
My two cents...

Forum software platforms allow time limits to be set for how long after posting
a comment someone can edit it. A lot of forums use 30 minutes. Bricklink could
use 5 minutes as far as I'm concerned - short enough to allow correction
of typos, or of missing words that change the meaning (like an accidentally omitted
"not" or "should" instead of "shouldn't" and so on).
That would enable folks to edit without engaging in the kind of revisionist history
you're concerned about.
It's also worth noting that the current system allows you to entirely delete
(aka cancel) a message. I just looked up the first message I ever posted here
on the forums, from Sep 2021, and the Cancel function still appears as an option.
So I think there's clearly a better way: allow edits, and have an automated
time limit for both edits and cancellations. That solves the problem you are
concerned about - which, again, already exits via cancellation - while allowing
comment edits, which every web forum I'm aware of has allowed for many years
now.

This is a good conversation and I just want you to know that I am not trying
to argue with you purposefully. I feel it's important to always speak up
when anyone wants to 'upgrade' our Forum and may not understand all the
specifics involved. It's somewhat arcane knowledge from an advanced user.
And it's for you and for whoever reads these, and whoever at BrickLink
may get ideas in their heads, too.
It's important to know the function here is not just for communication and
social media. The technical requirements would have to be built into any changes
that happen here.
Thanks,
~Jen
ps. If I could add just one feature here it would be a notification of a direct
reply. That would be SO nice!

I appreciate that and take your point. It's also why I have tried to respond
to your comments by suggesting ways that the new feature could be added without
creating the kind of drawback that you rightfully have mentioned. At any rate,
I woudl agree with you that notifications of replies would be very helpful as
well!

Likes and other reactions have practical benefits. If you'd like to pretend
they're simply about making people feel good,a and then mock it on that basis,
well, you can certainly spend your time that way if you like.

chime in without having to post their own "me too" comments)
- Ability to quote more than one prior comment (without having to do so totally

- Ability to reply to more than one comment if the prior comments are in different
sub-branches of the thread
- Ability to edit comments rather than cancelling them altogether and starting
over
It seems there are a good number of simple, plug-and-play forum software systems
around today that enable such features and much more without a whole lot of administrative
setup effort.
Thanks!

I would like the forum messages to have a YEA OR NAY vote button, but really
just a NAY. Buyers or sellers with at least a 250+ feedback can vote (all nay
posts moved to "off Topic" . Then maybe the people that actually contribute
to the site will start using the forum again.

How do you define a person that actually contributes to the site?
