How can XF increase your productivity?
5 Improve private messaging system like a mailbox where you can also forward messages or a private group conversation or chat.
6 Add floating windows for chats, editor and messages like what they have in Gmail.
Some of my thoughtsHow can XF increase your productivity?
1 Single page button. Show all posts of thread in 1 page. (single page view)
Which adds overhead to the system needing to figure out what the settings of each user are, and then use the appropriate reference back to their "page" in the link - unless you are proposing a total re-write of the current system?2 Dropdown menu in lists where you can select max threads/posts per page.
That's better resolved using search instead of a "filter" IMHO.3 Button to filter only show posts of the 'selected' person in a thread
4 ajax auto refresh page, like live add new posts/updates and alerts including browser notifications
Why would one want to "forward" a conversation (not sure what a "chat" is since there is no chat module in XenForo). AFAIK you can add a user to a conversation if permissions are given for that - otherwise, respect the participants wishes if you can't add users to the conversation.5 Improve private messaging system like a mailbox where you can also forward messages or a private group conversation or chat.
6 Add floating windows for chats, editor and messages like what they have in Gmail.
7 Avoid infinite scrolling and always use pagination.
You mean rating of posts? Reputation is so passé.8 Reputation calculator of a profile on basis of posts.
Kill a system? we are living in 2016, this should not be a problem. Lot of people prefer 1 long page instead of clicking and clicking.Oh yeah, I can see the benefit of this on those 400 page threads. Kill a system much?
Everyone should have the control how much content they want in 1 page. Let of people, especially desktop users prefer a more compact version. However keep the pagination.Which adds overhead to the system needing to figure out what the settings of each user are, and then use the appropriate reference back to their "page" in the link - unless you are proposing a total re-write of the current system?
No, when you do a search it needs to search and reload the posts. I want to see that inside a single thread you can filter user to only show the posts of the selected user of a topic (which posts are already load). This should be in realtime ajax.That's better resolved using search instead of a "filter" IMHO.
You should not run a high end forum software on cheap hosting. Realtime live threads and notifications are common now, look to Facebook and twitter.Want to get those folks running on marginal shared hosting providers ran off I see.
No chat. Sometimes you want to share a private conversation, it would be a nice idea to also add the option to CC other users, or a invite system for keep them informed. Or mass group conversation.Why would one want to "forward" a conversation (not sure what a "chat" is since there is no chat module in XenForo). AFAIK you can add a user to a conversation if permissions are given for that - otherwise, respect the participants wishes if you can't add users to the conversation.
I really like this multitasking style of multiple floating windows. It gives you to work on multiple replies without the classical single static window and need to switch everytime.I absolutely HATE this on GMail, and rarely use the webP version to access my mail any longer. I don't want something covering my screen when I'm replying as I may want to refer back to something further up the topic and pull it in for quotation also.
No since #2 is for people who prefer longer pages, more content in one single screen.Doesn't this go in direct contradiction to #2?
Do you mean ajax load like Discourse?Kill a system? we are living in 2016, this should not be a problem. Lot of people prefer 1 long page instead of clicking and clicking.
Not everyone is on a "high powered" server. Many are on a cheap, oversold shared hosting system.Kill a system? we are living in 2016, this should not be a problem. Lot of people prefer 1 long page instead of clicking and clicking.
And again, would involve a massive rewrite of the core system. You "may" see that down the road, but probably not for the next several releases.Everyone should have the control how much content they want in 1 page. Let of people, especially desktop users prefer a more compact version. However keep the pagination.
Again, I feel sorry for those that are trying to run the script on a low-end shared hosting. Or do you propose that XenForo become more like IPS and not support those "poor slobs" that run on what they can afford?No, when you do a search it needs to search and reload the posts. I want to see that inside a single thread you can filter user to only show the posts of the selected user of a topic (which posts are already load). This should be in realtime ajax.
And people shouldn't do drugs because it's bad for their body. Nor should people murder or take advantage of others. Guess what - they do. Are you sure you aren't an IPS client that's come to visit? And yes, I am also an IPS client so I see this type of "attitude" fairly frequently over there (by both members and staff).You should not run a high end forum software on cheap hosting. Realtime live threads and notifications are common now, look to Facebook and twitter.
And again, a massive rewrite most likely of the core structure. Guess what, not going to see it in XenForo 2.0, especially considering the target is feature parity with some minor goodies added due to other changes that were made.No since #2 is for people who prefer longer pages, more content in one single screen.
My suggestion on XF 2.0... keep going as y'all are. Give us a good stable new base to work off of and then build it up from there.Most of this isn't really relevant to XF 2.0 so if you have specific suggestions, or comments regarding them, please discuss them in the Suggestions forum.
The way Discourse does it is pretty good though.Oh yeah, I can see the benefit of this on those 400 page threads. Kill a system much?
Granted.. but I don't think a combo of both options would work well, nor be really easy to code for (both for styles and core). I'm sure it could be done, but really wonder if it would be worth it.The way Discourse does it is pretty good though.

I really do wish people would stop using Facebook and Twitter as comparisons when it comes to server loads, etc.You should not run a high end forum software on cheap hosting. Realtime live threads and notifications are common now, look to Facebook and twitter.

That was my point about Discourse. I hate infinite scroll for the reasons you describe. But Discourse resolved those issues. Infinite scroll has numbering and a timeline on Discourse.I do not like infinite scroll at all. If for some reason you get disconnected or otherwise have to go offline, you always have to start from the beginning when you return and 9 times out of 10, it's takes ages to find where you were (if you can).

HUGE difference in computing power there folks. Your normal forum would never run anything anywhere near the power of what Facebook runs.
You didn't need a "dedicated server" for the BBS age. I ran a multi-node Binkley/Maximus system on an OS/2 and delivered mail for NET124 and echomail for HUB6000. The computer was a 386/33 with 4MB RAM with a 40MB SCSI HD. Worked great and I could do my other stuff on it also.Reading some responses remind me of old BBS users saying "good enough, we don't all have dedicated servers you know!"
Different type of audience and posting format. A Facebook interface would not work well with the typical forum.So lets lower our expectations (and those of our visitors) by ignoring the UX of the platform that generates 250 million posts per hour because we all don't have the servers to cope with the load.
and most likely the back end design will allow easier transitions. Of course, it may end up being implemented via add-ons.Back end redesign is super beneficial, but ultimately only if it serves the need of the visitor.
