Anyways, I got multiple ideas from the other forum.
It could be possible to make it so that while you write a reply, it is saved every now and then so the post won't be "eaten up" when you have a poor internet connection? Aka, a "draft", as seen below:
There's also a potential to also add easier writing commands for stuff like using colors while writing without having to use convoluted source code by just clicking a button like when bolding some text and even custom fonts (including size), emojis and tables, oh and an undo and re-do feature would also be nice.
I hope the feature to be able to link a particular comment is retained (And further supported by a button on the top right corner of each post), while we are on that.

My biggest fear in all of this forum move is that it might be disappointing
Like yeah it isn't likely but many other highly hyped things that were anticipated but in the end were a total and utter disappointment
I just hope this doesn't happen

^Eh, I mean as long as we can still discuss stuff and post images, we'll probably be fine and exactly the same as well used to be, it just might be a little harder for newcomers to get into the forums

@Bobsican
I think that the new forum will continuously save drafts of the posts, but I am not certain.
It won't eat the posts like the current one does in any case.
@Angeron
We are doing what we can to make sure that the forum is as good as possible. It will be a little different, but it has some new features that this one does not have, such as private messages, so I think that it will be good enough for us. We just have to fix the remaining backup conversion errors.

I don't think making subsubforums for every single verse is a good idea, but instead I'd prefer if we had subsubforums for each media type. For example, the Content Revision subforum could be split by Anime Revisions, Comics Revisions, Games Revisions, and so on. This way, people who're more obsessed with one or another type of media could easier find CRT's on verses they have enough knowledge on.

That would make it too complicated to monitor for new threads, and we would also have to separate tens of thousands of old threads into the different forums. I much prefer our current structure.

I think the current structure is fine, especially with searchable topics essentially replicating the "Topics for this thread" feature of the current forums, except more easily searchable and (presumably) not having a limit of 4 topics.

I agree too, the current structure is easy to use after all

Will image uploads be restored in the forum move?

Wait, so we won't be able to upload photos on the new forum?

Most forum software have HTML support, which can embed files from sites like here or imgur. It'll be an extra step but it's not a big deal.
Judging from the screenshots, I do believe the forum software used supports it.

Wait, so what if I want to upload an image from my computer that isn't on Imgur? Can I still upload it

You can just upload to imgur, or here, or another image hosting site and embed it in the new forum. The process is pretty simple, you just click on the upload butto and select it through here.DemonGodMitchAubin said:

Do you when the move is done?

We probably still have a decent ways to go
First, all the error checking and installing of features has to be done, then emails need to be sent out to everyone, then links need to be fixed and only then, can we start doing new things
I will say, it is hard to wait sometimes, but it'll all be worth it in the end, and it looks like my prediction of it going half way through the month is likely accurate

I just hope the move can be completed before our forums here become unusable due to Discussions replace them. Having a support thread like this we can access while we wait for the transfer is a nice relief, & helps those not involved in setting up the migration keep track & have a little more peace of mind, I bet.

I've been seeing a large number of revisions pop out lately, some of them being pretty freaking big (2-A Dragon Ball being the most notable example).
Are we still to hold out revisions or are they fine atm?
