Hi everyone, question time!

Is there something(s) about the Forum that you think need improving? What new features/changes do you think would make it better to use?

Looking for feedback :)

Markdown support would be a nice thing to have, for starters.

That's already in progress.

Quoting: PatolaWhy, creating a Virtual Reality / Augmented Reality category, of course!
That's a good idea, done.

Would be cool if links from the sidebar (Latest Forum Posts) would go directly to the actual posting where you clicked on like it does for last comments.

I think you might have borked it in the update?

Should be solved.

Quoting: The_Aquabatwhat about a category for trading steam items, or games? could be useful, I've seen some posts on the forums from ppl wanting to trade games.
Sorry, no official trading, partly as it opens us up to lots of potential moderation issues when things go sour and also because it's likely against partnerships we have with gog,humble,paradox and such.

The quote, edit etc, i’d like them at the bottom of a message.

Curious, why would that be? What does that improve?

Oh, i wanted to add : better contrast everywhere. Examples :
- the quote part of a message is grey on grey
- The "popular this week" is blueish on greyish
- writing a message is also with a greyish background, could be more white
etc

When i read a long topic and want to quote a part of it,
When i re-read my message and want to edit it,
When i want to report spam or whatever,

i need to scroll up first, while i’m at the bottom of the message.

In my mind, these actions are done after reading a message, not before.
