General Suggestions

Good point purifyweirdsoul, I could code a page jump at the bottom of the page but I think the page jump at the top left that follows you down the screen during scroll works well along with the arrow on the right Mike mentioned.

Regardless, I should style the page jump that follows you and the arrow on the right so it stands out more.

If people REALLY want a page jump at the bottom we will put one in, but please (if you haven't) try the current options first

That button is easy to customize. Just send me a graphic.

I have no control on the mobile behavior. I wish everyone would use desktop view on their mobiles, but surely it serves a purpose.

There are a few things in our board organization that I'm not 100% on. Let me know what you think.

Category: Announcements
Board: Introduction
Board: Rules

1. Does "Announcements" really encompass the category? If we actually made an announcement I don't think it would fit in either "Introduction" or "Rules". We would probably put it in General Bloodstained Discussion as an announcement post with an expiration date.

2. The boards Introduction and Rules only have one post in each. Having an entire board for 1 post bothers me. Sure, I would like some things to be visible from the home page like rules for those who haven't read them, but maybe there is a better way.

I would like a category to encompass all of the forum community stuff that isn't directly Bloodstained related. This means rules, announcements, a welcome thread, introduce yourself thread, FAQs thread, navigation tips, community discussions like voting on group names, site improvement discussions, gamer tag lists, etc. My initial brainstorm for reorganizing the "Announcements" category looks like this:

Category: Community
Board: Rules & Guides- Sticky posts for rules, the welcome / FAQ's, navigation tips, posting tips, and feature explanations.
Board: General- Announcements (stickys that expire then become normal posts), introduce yourself thread (sticky), group name discussions, gamer tag lists (sticky), speculation on forum stuff, etc.
Board: Suggestions for Forum Improvement (Moved from the game related section)
Board: Community Links- Should we move the community links here? Most are Bloodstained Related, but Twitch streamers and YouTubers also could belong here. I think our current community links area might do better with multiple posts in that board instead of one thread with a bunch of link comments.

Please let me know what you think about this stuff. In the future when the beta and game come out, there will be a need to expand our structure. I'd like it to be as simple and organized as possible. Let's get this the best it can be.

Perhaps "Meta" would fit better when it concerns topics regarding the forums themselves?

I could see this:

*Meta:
- Rules
- Forums' introduction
- Feature suggestions

*Bloodstained:
- Everything related to Bloodstained

*General:
- Member introductions
- Games
- Off-topics
- Everything related to us but not the game

I suppose it's not that common or obvious a word... then, how about "Technical"? Although as far as meanings go, I prefer "Meta" but I see your point.

No, actually I think XombieMike had it right.

There are really only two distinct subjects here.  Bloodstained related items and everything else be it community, forums, off topic, or otherwise related.

I'm not sure anyone would want to do that the way I just did. I couldn't get the reply buttons to do what I wanted so I just made a couple of "default" lists and went to the BBCode tab to see the commands used to make the list and then just wrote the BBCodes my self to make the list.




Ya, that wasn't my intention. For sections I and II I was strictly trying to point out what would be in those two forum sections. That's why I relisted the items under Section IV specifically as Subforums. Either way I went back and changed the nubering to bullets in the hopes that it will emphasize those are not meant to be subforums but just the contents of that forum section.




Sorry about that. I make sure to do it that way from now on.
