OG Website Feature Wish List

Not sure what you mean by a list of recipients? Can you explain that part?

I agree it would be nice to be able to organize messages into folders.

Agreed. The messaging system is an issue for me. I wish I could mark messages unread, group and categorize them so I don’t have to keep mental track of who I responded to and who I haven’t. I lose track of a lot of conversations with them only being sorted in order of date of last reply.

The one thing that I really miss on this Forum is being able to use my own Browser’s SEARCH function.

For example hitting CTL-F hotkey in firefox is blocked by the site, or rather it is repurposed to the forum sesrch. It makes it much harder to search within a page.

Why do I want search like that?
Example, long 150+ list of names on a co-op sign up. I know I have added myself a second time to a few lists because I couldnt search for my name on the page.

A feature that would be nice would be a browser extension. Basically so I can be on the site, and then do a Google search with a dialogue box etc, all while on the site. No need to open up a new window.

It would be nice to have a whole dashboard like compuserve or aol or something.

When I open up Gmail the emails all have the recipient or sender as well as the subject. I get confused here on og when I can only see the subject, especially when I have multiple PMs from the same thread.

That would be super cool but would eat up a huge amount of storage space that would need to be constantly expanded IMO.

Ah, I see what you were talking about. When I log in on my phone I can only see the subjects but when I log in on my laptop I can see the users avatars beside the messages. It would be nice if that was the same on the app/phone. I defiantly like the pc view better.

If you are in the thread you want to search, open the forums search tool, select the radio box that says “search this topic” it will now only return results for the thread you are viewing :+1:

Another feature that would be very helpful for messages is a search function specifically for the messages in our inboxes. That would make it way easier to find relevant conversations by keyword or by username.

It would even be a huge improvement if the messages showed the username instead of just their profile picture.

edit- I found out you actually can search within your messages. Just use the built in search function while you are on your messages inbox page.

There’s a trick for this. Click the address bar of your browser, then hit ctrl-F to activate the browser based search function. It works in all the browsers I use.

I wish there was a download site option. I know I can have threads of interest emailed to me, but it would be much easier if I could download the threads I’m following. :smiley:

I don’t think people would want all their threads downloaded automatically to other peoples computers like that for security reasons. particularly grow journals. obviously our posts are public here but people often make edits for security reasons.

But this is the only cannabis forum site that lets you export and download all of your own content as a PDF archive.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but having an option to view all the photos in a thread like a photo gallery or something would be cool. Like if I go to the Bodhi thread and select “view all photos in thread” and it brings up a slideshow or thumbnails of all the photos in that thread, and have an option to go to that post in thread

For me if the messages from each user were in a folder with only messages from that user that would be most helpful.
So you would have their user icon as the folder pic.
All of there messages would be in there in chronological order.

Also alternative icons for the like button would be fun.
Like a sad icon or a laughing icon ect.
Sometimes folks post bad news and it is hard to like the post, but you want them to know how you feel but you don’t want to respond by posting.

Agreed. An easer way to see ALL messages between me & you, instead of needing to search for the username lol

I would love to be able to edit the first post of threads I start indefinitely, without restriction for me and me alone to edit, and without having to ask a Leader to convert it for me. That should be doable with existing permissions options in normal Discord, admins just gotta do it for the user level.

I feel the same.
A work around is to make it a Wiki.
I have done it on a few of my threads.
