We are pleased to announce that we are working on a set of feature upgrades for the Wizards Community. I'm sure you want to know what they are, so I'll jump right in:

BBCode support in the forums, including:


  • Autocard

  • Sblock

  • Smiley and Mana Symbols

  • Additional BBCodes


Enhanced forum usability:


  • Better subforum views

  • Better forum post layout

  • Removing auto-double space in forums

  • Better forum reply features, including Quick Reply

  • Forum subscription module

  • RSS feed for forums


This list is not exhaustive. There are other small items and a few that aren't ready to be announced. In the meantime, we continue to work through existing bugs and take your feature requests. These enhancements do not have a set timeline yet, but expect them to start rolling out soon.

Yay!!  Thanks for the update!  I think that is a good list for the most-called-for features to be implemented. Smile

Any chance that hiding signatures can get up on that priority list?

You can already hide signatures.  Go to the "Preferences" link (at the top of the forum page), and it should be at the bottom of the options. Smile

about the sblocks: when images are hidden within an sblock, they should NOT be resized to 600 px width.


it would be really odd to make a battle map that's larger than that, hide it within an sblock, and then it would be resized again.


 


also, for bbcode support: it would be pretty handy to have custom smiley support back as it was used in the old forums, and have them filled with whatever was there in the old ones. or at least add them to the current rather tiny smiley list. i really want to post a melee attack power as a sword, and not as m or an uploaded picture. i really also want to be able to write and have white mana there, and not the same text again. i can live with it being in the smiley menu, however.

Try it. See how well it works for you. (Unless your "sig" is not really a signature iand is actually something you dump into the body of every post.)

Sorry, didn't realize it wasn't working.  The way your post was phrased led me to believe that you thought the feature didn't exist, rather than it not working.  My bad. Smile

Awesome. I'm sure my associate 18Delta will be thrilled to hear about the bolded part.
