There are some people on here who I'm sure could have some great Pangburn, Waking Up, etc. type discussions - especially if they share a book review from different sides or find some similar way to organize the topic. Contentious/challenging topics tend to be so just on how many hydra heads they have and how easily terms tend to apply synonymously between the best ideas and the worst actors and/or pretenders of that movement (postmodernism might be a good example of where that's the case).

The site crashes a lot for me. Don't think it's my internet because it's good and all other websites work just fine.

Also there is no way to see if someone has responded to a comment/post you've made and if I want to go on my profile to go back through my posts and check it's really difficult to find my posts. I feel the whole site in general could be better put together.

I would also like the option to post a thread anonymously. I'm a bit paranoid I guess but I wouldn't like someone I know to stumble over a post of mine and then easily be able to trace it back to me via other posts i've made on the forum.

I think that WP should have an option of 9 different colour combinations that each member can choose from. That way, they can make WP their own with their preferred combinations of colours.

It's too bad politics isn't a whole topic category unto itself. If it was, it would be a dream to lock the whole topic for a month or so after this midterm. Shut.....it....down for a brief break. In "real life", we all know each of us will breathe a sigh of relief that at least the ads, etc will be gone. Kind of lame that I'm betting that topic will continue to be full on, 24/7 here on WP.

I belonged to a collecting, non-ASD related forum for years. After the 2016 election, the mods shut down political talk. Many people who didn't participate in the main special interest of the forum went elsewhere for their political fixes.

I don’t like the idea of “shutting down” anything. That’s censorship.

But it’s understandable in some cases where you have masses of people who go nuts over something like politics and who have difficulty seeing the forests for the trees.

I’d still be opposed to “shutting down” in most cases.

I would think people post-election would want to discuss why the election went the way it did, what it and the immediate post-election reaction portends for the future.

We should have something that's a counterpoint to PPR.

A place where there are stricter rules---but a place where intellectual discussions could occur.

How about a different color motif for the more sensitive sub-forums?

Like The Haven and Women's Discussion ... it sometimes happens that I post in those areas when I probably shouldn't simply because I'm drawn in by the subject line without noticing the subforum title.

Maybe yellow and orange instead of white and blue?

☆ Notifications that pop up or show as “1” when someone quotes you so you don’t miss any quotes.

☆ Slightly bigger avatars (only because it can be hard to get photos small enough to use).

Being quite a high traffic forum site, how about adding clubs as a feature? At least certain users would get to start their own clubs and once approved by Alex, the founder of the club can choose how the club is run to an extent.

Things like a book club or a film club. It would be like running ones own sub-forum on this site.
