How can we improve BDF?

[Josh]

Hey All,

I want to get a feel for where we are as a community and see where I should be focusing my efforts. How do you feel we can make BeardedDragonForum a better place?​

Just to get the ideas flowing, some of my thoughts include:​

more frequent photo contests​

a logo/t-shirt design contest​

BDF Mobile Apps (Apple and Android)​

Most importantly, how is the site working for you all? Is there anything that needs my immediate attention?​

As always, thank you all so much for your feedback! I look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas!​

Maybe an App.
And maybe a tips section on frequently asked questions. Then if your question isnt there then ask in forum?? x

 

[Spikeleebd]

maybe a section were we could review sites that we buy our feeder insects from

possibly a chat room?

An app for Android/iphone for instant posts/uploads would b great.

How about an option in the profile preferences to choose a default Font for our submitted posts. The Global Default Font that is in use now, if there are #s in the post, can tend be a little funky ...

e.g. 15062 - 6438 - 8364 - 40 - 50

Or change the Global Default to a cleaner one of all the same levels ...

Just a thought, thanks,

Hey Germain,
Thanks for the font suggestion. I'll look into having it switched to something a little more palatable for everyone...
In the meantime I know you can set your signature font but I'm not sure you can change the default font for all your posts without manually changing it using the editor...

 

[Germ]

Sounds good

Thanks,

How about a photo contest for the cutest dragon? I've got two I can chose from that's cute.

Can you make it where when you see a persons name by their post you can see how many posts they have made? I would like to see if I'm helping someone that is new to the forum and what they are asking is their first post. Like how it is with the other forum.

possibly a chat room?

I second this.

Fix the Facebook links can't link accounts or like BDF as their both broke and maybe sort out a twitter account

 

[Josh]

What happens when you click on the Facebook links? We have a twitter account it's @beardieforum

 

[khaleesi]

When I try to associate I get this message

{
"error": {
"message": "Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 191
}
}

And when I try to Like the fb page it says
The page you requested was not found.
You may have clicked an expired link or mistyped the address. Some web addresses are case sensitive.
I will follow on twitter I think we need a link for that too
if I hadn't have talked about it here I wouldn't have know

 

[Josh]

Hmmmm

Try the facebook stuff now... It should work

 

[khaleesi]
