I think board layout is very beginner friendly. No need to change, IMO.

But: I just wanted to reply to a post. That post already was a reply to another post, containing a quote itself. It was not possible to have both quotes contained in my reply, which I would have wanted.

The what are you listening to thread is in danger of becoming a big jumble of oversized images of obscure tracks. Post s should have some purpose, eg. Something that makes them unique, worthy of wider attention, etc. Maybe an anecdotes to accompany the post. Or artwork of distinction perhaps.

Then just stay away from it, rather than spoiling other people's fun!

Pros. I always wanted an image search.

Enabling a full history of replies is a double-edged sword, to say the least. Yes, I understand how sometimes it could make it easier to understand the reply. But it would get messy very soon, too.

Right now you can reply to multiple messages and more specifically parts of multiple postings. It may be considered an advanced feature, but it's not hard to do: Just select any amount of text and an in-line reply button pops up. This does not start a new reply but simply appends to your current reply.

Personally I think it's sufficient to educate users about this feature.

Hey all, just wanted to share that I've started a new thread with some thoughts on a modified layout. Check it out.

Hey everyone! We've added some tags and will be introducing more. As part of this, I went ahead and formalized creating a group of "taggers" and "movers"

Check out the forum post for it. I've coined it "Community Curators" for now and please feel free to volunteer if you want to help contribute.

2. Tags - I'll be turning these on, but first I need a starting list to use. I'd like to set it up for a certain rank to be able to apply these to any person's thread, that way if the original poster doesn't use them, someone else can add them. I'll kick off a new discussion thread to talk tags once I've got a starting point here.

Hey Ryan,

I'm trying my best to start a new thread and it keeps saying "tags need to be added". Is there a sticky on how to add tags? I went to "Find a list of all of our tags here." I copied a few of those threads/tags but it keeps saying "can not create a new tag". I asked this before put can't find my post asking that question and the response. I belong to a number of online audio forums and the WiiM Forum is the only one that requires tags to be added. In all honesty it's very frustrating. Thanks for your help!

There's a featured post here for tags and how to use them https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/using-forum-tags.6304/ just use one tag at a time or separate them with commas.

If you're getting that error, it thinks you're trying to make a new tag, not use an existing one. If you want, let me know the tag you're trying to use and I can create it for you.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly Ryan! I figured it out. I just typed "WiiM Ultra" in the tag box and was then able to post the new thread. I was severely over thinking the whole process. Hopefully the next time I post a new thread I'll remember it. Thanks again!
