When we type a hashtag, it should come up as a hyperlink that goes to a page with all posts that also have the same hashtag in them.

We could also have something where if someone replied to something you wrote. Or replied to your mod app or got a new unread pm it would give you a notification in your phone? Idk this would be really helpful sometimes.

Enjin is a good idea, most servers use it

IFTTT might be a good application to use. I'll check it out

For hashtags, you can just use the search feature on the forums.

I've been having an idea to make more categories for the forums and make the index page more like other forums, for example we could have

News and Announcements
Introductions
-------
General Server Discussion
Moderator Applications
Ban Appeals
Suggestions
Complains
-------
General Minecraft Discussion
Other Discussion
Forum Games
Trash

Then the details for each category like the mod application template, ban appeal template, etc. could be viewed as a pinned topic inside the category. Another idea is to have subcategories for accepted/denied applications and appeals.

Michael I think I'm going to start working on a notification system where users can follow topics on the forums and get notifications in the top right corner (like forum PMs). Phone messages would not be feasible but email notifications might be. It might increase forum activity. There'll be a settings page to choose notification preferences.

Trash is where all the deleted messages go. It will probably only be visible to forum moderators.

I was thinking we could make the PM's easier to locate. Some people have a hard time finding where you PM somebody, so instead of it being on the top bar, it should be in the bottom right. Also, there should be a tab that comes up with the pm's, so you don't have to click off of the post you're looking at while you chat with a friend.

Also, maybe general improvements to the stylizing of the website.

(and the Site notice should be taken down, since it hasn't been used since mod applications were added. Maybe a 3 month time limit for them)

Also, update the update log.

You know it's bad when you are told to update the update log.
