The first thing i want to do is to give it a TOC, like we have in the wiki (the small box on the top right). The TOC will contain the headers so one can quickly jump to the topic/forum of interest. What do you think about that idea? Edited: 2019-07-21, 10:55 Top Quote

Not sure if a TOC is needed, though it wouldn't hurt to have one. One possible improvement I can think of is removing quotes of previous posts from the post previews (the "User wrote: Blahblah" parts). Top Quote

Ok... the reason i have done it like that is because i thought some people might not know exactly who wrotes the post, but maybe remembers the first words. Maybe i am wrong here Top Quote

I'll try to explain. For example here: The preview of WorldSavior's post shows a quote of NonServiam's post ( " NonServiam wrote: Can you use this? ..."). I think it would be more useful to cut the quote out and show what WorldSavior wrote after the quote ("Why is it called like that? ...") instead. Like this: Top Quote

Yes, when I don't see the topic on the right of the homepage. That is the easiest way to search through the forum .

Yes, it would be very useful! einstein13 calculations & maps packages: http://wuatek.no-ip.org/~rak/widelands/ backup website files: http://kartezjusz.ddns.net/upload/widelands/ Top Quote

I think it would be good to have at least something like "(Quoting...) answer" in the output. I didn't managed so far to implement something like "(Quoting...) Yes (Quoitng ...) another answer ...", but i am on it. @einstein13: Implementing a TOC is easy, but i struggle to find a good styling. Top Quote

More over the generated html from bbcode isn't really nice, imho: E.g. this bbcode snipped: `[img]example.img[/img] nice image` produces this html: `<img src="example.img" /> <br /> <br /> nice image` Each linebreak will be converted to a `<br />` tag and the last sentence isn't surrounded by a `<p>` tag... Anyway i have a solution for excluding/replacing quotes with mixed markup. But i m not sure to propose it, unless parsing bbcode should produce better html which would make excluding/replacing of quotes much easier. Top Quote

People really need to use both? Even big "forums" like reddit, facebook don't support both. That would simplify your problem a lot I guess IMO if people know how to use bbcode they would easily learn how to use markdown. And it seems markdown is getting more and more popular. BBcode, I don't see much of it anymore edit: while on the topic of the latest post. I think a nice feature to add would be to send to the revelant page where the words searched is mentioned rather that the first page directly Edited: 2019-07-28, 15:47 Top Quote

I have already an idea to fix it, but other things are more important. The TOC in the latest Posts view is now available edit: while on the topic of the latest post.
