What Do You Want Added To The BYC Forum & Site?

[Gracefulspice]

I would love for a Chat area to go to. It's nice to get to know eveyone on a more personal note. And if people have questions, they just need to visit the chat and ask, not have to post it and keep looking back to see if someone responded yet.

Chat is definitely on the short list! I might implement a really basic chat first and build out more advanced chat later on.

is that short list 1 item long???

 

[Nifty-Chicken]

hahaha.... it's short, but not that short!

Suggestion/Question:
Whenever I do a search I often have a problem finding the result and feel it would be really helpful if the word I searched for would stand out a bit in the posts.
Would it be possible to have the word 'highlighted' in the search results?

That would be cool. I'll add it to the list and look into it. Thanks!

BTW, in the interim, what I do is search using the "show as post" option and then do CTRL-F to find the word on that page. Not perfect, but it works.

ooh, thanks for that tip, I'll try it!

This is a super idea! In fact, I would REALLY appreciate it if some members of the forum got together to create this page. When finished I'll post it prominently on the BYC site. (I think this is something all brand new or want-to-be chicken owners could use). I tried to get the ball rolling here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=39 but unfortunately there didn't seem to be too much interest.

I'm down to illustrate something like this. When I say 'down' I mean 'up' to it.
I guess that means it sounds like fun.

The emoticons are good for now. I'd like to see some more. BUT PLEASE DON'T add any outrageously sized emoticons to the list. The idea behind those is that they fit in a line of text without breaking up the vertical alignment of the post. Some of the so called emoticons on the old board are just animated .gifs and just way to big to be used as emoticons.

and if anyone is tracking keywords here...the word of the day is "emoticon."

<--- this one is already too tall. jeez!

How's this going?
