Site news #4: What's next?

Hello!

The next site update will focus on the forum. The current ChatFighters forum was always meant as a temporary solution, and I think we more than outgrew it. The MeetFighters forum has a quite old design too, so it makes sense to redesign it with modern web elements. It will take roughly 30-40 hours of work. And I will work on it whenever I’m free.
After the forum is refreshed; What should the Summer Site Update focus on? On our support page and in the forum, I got a couple of good ideas, but I’m not sure how to prioritize them.

One side project is always ongoing, the APP what includes the redesign of the message system - it is quite outdated too.
I, for myself, want push-notification for messages or even the chat. But that is a huge task, and I want to squeeze in some smaller projects in between.

To help me focus on the right topics, please select the ideas and features you think should be prioritized the highest:

This poll is closed.

Thanks for sharing your feedback and ideas!

Best Regards,
The Tech

Maybe also add a "languages spoken" option in the profile.

Anyway, thanks for this great site!

Make it possible to access a chat even though the other person is not online?

I added your idea, but you can access the existing transcript already over the transcript import from the create a story page. https://venus.chatfighters.com/create-story

Could we have a dedicated section somewhere on the site for community resource. Like links to avatar creator apps, or links to find photos for characters. I feel like most people are just using google images which causes most people to have one photo on their profile because they don’t know whose image they used.

Also, maybe links to sites to elevate a user’s writing. A glossary of fighting moves. How to write dialogue. Action words. Synonyms for useful words like “punch”, “replied” or “aroused”. I think everyone has their own way of writing but some guidelines would help given the format.

lobby moderator/monitor.... if someone is talking way too much trash in lobby being disrespectful... they should be warned or silenced

This is already in place, you can mute the user in the #lobby and report them directly from the chat.
If you open a new room (not the #lobby) you have admin tools to kick/mute and ban user in your room: https://venus.chatfighters.com/action=newsupport&topic=4200

Add/attach pics in messages - there is a bunch of us that do matches through a series of messages, but have to embed an outside link to have a picture in that match

This will be part of the new messaging system what would make this the right option to tick:
"Focus even more on the APP and the message system!"

If it isn't too expensive to implement, we'd like to be able to go back and check matches that are older. I don't know how long the server stores chat logs at this time, but I often find myself typing, "I know we had a match and it was hot, but I can't remember the details."

Also, It would be really nifty if there was a function that removed timestamps and/or usernames before being posted as a story so that it flowed more like a story. Not everyone would be interested in this, but some folks who write in third person would find this particularly useful.

It depends on the room how long history is saved.
When you enter a room or conversation, the blue welcome message will let you know how long the content is saved.
If you use the transcript importer to create a story, you can in most cases go back up to 30 days.

Again, if the story got saved using the import function you can hide or show the timestamps dynamically. (on the final story page). https://venus.chatfighters.com/story/28019 (Toggle timestamp button)
Removing the usernames would end up in confusion?
But nothing stops you from using your favorite text editor and edit the text as you wish before posting it :)
