- Ability to thumbs up/down posts (or at least <3 heart react). Oh discourse has that too.
I guess I'd love to see FR implement discourse. It could help grow our audience and reach more like minded people.
If interested in see it in action I know this software engine uses it for discussions. https://forum.defold.com/
I'm sure there are many others out there.
Oh and here’s where they can get the software (free if they host the servers).

—I’d become a monthly member if we had these features.
I get a 404 Not Found nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu) when I try to donate
Host photos that we post instead of forcing us to give a link and type html.
That costs storage money.
No thanks. I’m getting sick of websites that keep changing just to add more superficial fluff.
FR is great because of the content not the appearance. The only improvement I’d support would be a Like button.
— Host photos that we post instead of forcing us to give a link and type html.
That would increase storage costs and possible open up FR to liability for storing offensive / illegal / copyrighted images.

If you agree or disagree with a post you can at least articulate why. Thumbs up/down just makes it to easy for users to keep giving thumbs down to someone they dislike or are feuding with
When posting to FR, it would be nice if one could preview the title before posting. Titles also don’t support HTML, but it would be an improvement if they did.
Advertise on X.
I mean, the party is over there right now.
a simple like/dislike button.
...and, lately there has been a lag that’s never been here before. its obvious that i’m not the only one experiencing it with all the double and triple posts of late...
Spend some time on Reddit, or Reddit descendents like the Great Awakening, or The Donald-America First.
These will give you a good idea of what features NOT to implement on FR!
Making it easier to post pictures will just make it easier to spam a thread with memes rather than discussing with actual arguments. Sometimes images help illustrate a point, most of the time it is a replacement for thought.
“implement discourse”.
Does that term mean ‘to encourage discussion’?
I haven’t seen it used before now.
Faster speed. FR goes down too much.
I used to post photos all the time, but for the past few years, no matter how many different methods I try, they don’t post.
It’s fine just the way it is.
I would like to see a better overseeing of the entries. We have religious posts on political boards all the time and many times repeats of posts on the same topic with the same information being displayed, sometimes by the same poster.

A mute or ignore button to filter out the jerks.
How about a search function that actually works? Novel concept, I know...
A “like” button. Don’t go too far with photos. This is a thinking man’s site. Other sites brawl with pictures, we do it with words. It’s like we’re Waffle House and the others are IHOP. You get the same thing, but if you come here, you better know how to throw hands!!!
I think that every July 4 FR should hold a vote for nominated people that can no longer be mentioned on wingtalks. Nominations can be submitted year round with a deadline of April 1.
I for one have it as a dream to never hear Jane Fonda’s name again. I think it would be fair all around to require a 60% vote in favor to institute a BAN.
