There are lots of things the forums need to get improved.
Pages
When I look in a huge, piece of thread, there are lots of pages and I would like to go to the end. The problem is, you can go only in limited numbers of pages. So why can you just put a new function in searching other pages. If there are like 69 pages, how can you reach the end? Not including the instant click in the general forums. So just put a box where you can type the page. If you put a huge number like 3454, it won't work. It will just stop at 34.
The search bar function
Sometimes, the search bar function takes forever. It might not even be reliable. So if I search up my own thread "Post some guild hall furniture", it will show thousands of comments that are related to the words. There are a bunch of pages. So why can you make 2 sections that when you search, you will be dragged to a section. Either threads or comments.
Instant Replying
Why can't we have instant replying instead of going like this (@Oatmonster)? So there would be a reply button under his name, and it would put @oatmonster in a strong font.
Why not add some designs in the forums?
Right now, as you look in the regular forums, you will see a bunch of text with no font or design. It's in blue, basic text, and I'm wonder if we can put some designs on it. Not a huge one, but big. So just add maybe some bubble text to replace the title. No, the threads don't count. Only the titles in the forums like suggestions, gremlin chatter, etc... You can also maybe add some glowing lines to replace the box lines. Not all of it though.
Instant +1/-1
We should have a bar somewhere near the comments box. If you would like to rate a suggestion, you can go to the number box and click the +1 button. You can click the -1 button too. Then you can add your comment. You can leave it blank, or write your feedback. This would make it easier to stop pressing the numbers, plus and minus signs.
Also you can see how much likes and dislikes there are in a thread. So we can add a new category called "Ratings". It should have a thumb that goes up and goes down. It will indicate how much dislikes and likes the thread has recieved. It will have a green or/and red neon color on it. This might look like youtube, but it's at a thread.
Quoting
I see other forums have quote bubbles. Most of the people use quote bubbles in the other gaming forums. So we should be able to have a quoting bubble. We can even have the name of the person that is being mentioned. More details coming up soon
Well that's all I have for now. Please show your feedback in the comments below and I'll reply. Please don't be too negative in your feedback. Try to make it positive and I'll reply.
Thanks!
"If there are like 69 pages, how can you reach the end?"
What? There's always a link to last page next to the numbers.
"So just put a box where you can type the page."
You can go to a specific page by manually writing it in the adress bar of the browser.

Notice how both end with "page=#" No need for a box
