Since someone asked how to do this, I am gonna make a post explaining it

to add a prefix to your post like "released", first add it as tag, and then select that tag as post prefix

Discovered Lyrics, and a StopWatch...

Perhaps slightly more useful... actually I think this would be very useful, from any page you can create a thread (Topic) then select where it should go:

 

Most forums have an Activity stream that shows all new posts but here you can create your own and fully customise it:  

Very cool... (or nerdy, take your pick)

Custom themes

Added discord login and post integration with bot

Is that visible to us anywhere?  I didn't notice anything on Discord.

On login it shows as one of the option login / register using Facebook / Twitter / Discord

on your customer account setting you have option to link discord

a discord bot auto post to discord channel whenever a thread is made in the forum

currently thinking about where to place social media icons on the site

@Diablo would be glad if you bring back the ability to add account signature to the forum.

I disabled signature because I want page fill with more read-able content, old site you can barely see 2 posts on one screen, but now you can see 4

Well, I used it to make people aware of my indie videogame project here by hyperlinks to the thread and the Discord channel. Perhaps it is better to add limitations to the signature instead of completely disabling it.

Adding limitation basically adding character count, people can still be clever by using it to embed image, or bunch new lines

Still, I don't think this is a good approach. Perhaps adding character count, image and media tags, and text-formatting limitations (except hyperlink, color, and font-weight codes) would be a better choice than disabling it altogether.

Best.

I dont mind the signature, it is an outdated Feature anyway and doesnt fit to the new design imo

Perhaps a single-line text field can be added to user profiles which displays in the post-bit on the side? This can be used to hyperlink to a project or YouTube channel.

you already have text field as Title

and WYSIWYG about me page in your profile

[Ryzza5]

I meant a field specifically for URL's that can be clicked on. One field for the URL and a limited character field for the description that shows up.

 

[Eudemon]

there is a full blown editor field for you to add anything for as many line on your profile page

if you want an editor field with bbcode (basically translates into HTML) for EVERY SINGLE post you make, the answer is NO

i want to keep it simple and clean, site being easy to use and good visibility

I am even considering removing more fields like post rank, let alone adding more
