Board Thread:Help desk/@comment-4022742-20121004135507

First of I would like to state that I like the new forum and notification system, It's been missing from the wiki for a long while and was due for an overhaul. Kudos on that.

On another note though there are some functions that are still missing or incomplete. I don't know who is working on it and if I should post these concerns here at all, but I will anyways :P


 * Privicy wall posts. Currently there is no way outside of chat to discuss things in private, some things said between two people should not even show up in the recent activity page. Nor should be read by anyone that can click on a persons wall.
 * Board creation. There are currently 3 boards, where one of them is named quite ambiguously. It would be helpfull if some level of authority could easilly create and manage these (think renaming and moving misplaced topics from one board to another)
 * Creating posts. There is no character limit, but the editing box is fixed in height. To create this topic I had to use notepad copy pasta, just to get it all in.
 * Voting. In the old forums we used to cast support, oppose or neutral votes a lot. If there'd be a system in place that would tally the votes and display them along side the original message, that would be an awesome addition. (I do realise this is probably easier said then done)

These are some of the things I came across that either bugged me or could be good addition. This is in no way aimed at bashing the forum in any way, just to get the best forum functionality possible for our needs. I am only 1 person so there are probably things I missed and that could be improved, I think it would be helpfull if everyone kept their Eyes open for buggy/missing functionality.
