Hmm - my Mac must be deceiving me. The font color seems perfectly fine. But, it seems that's not the case. I'll bump it up today.

This is how I'm seeing it, running latest Google Chrome on Windows 8.1.

Yeah - it is a little choppy. Okay - will bump it.

Great. Notify us when you do so please, as we might have to clear our cache in order to see the changes.

Also it would be nice if there was a tooltip on post date, showing exactly when the post was submitted. "6 minutes ago" could help to determine when it was posted, but "3 hours ago" might not be that precise.

This is more of a feature request - but with the new forum out of the way, it seems like the next step would be to integrate single-sign on with Disqus. It feels somewhat disjointed to be logged in with my Laracasts account, use that account for forum participation, but have a different personality (for me it's Twitter) for comments on lessons. Heck, it might even be possible to use a forum thread instead of Disqus comments, or integrate them somehow.

Also would like to be able to edit the post title. On some posts its good to refine the title as the discussion crystalizes the issue.

I find it hard to read the text in the forum. The font is very thin and light grey so there's too little contrast thought. In my opinion it should be a bit stronger or at least darker. Line height, spacing and the font itself looks good to me :-)

Oh! Also, show the username of the person who last responded to a thread.

• I'd like the ability to save some comments on the fly, there are always valuable info, kind of fav as in twitter and later you can re-check the comments.

• also explicity see the preferred answer by the community like stackoverflow.

Reply button in each post and include in quotes thier post/part of thier post

In addition to this it would be nice that if we could include a part of the post and not the whole post, by selecting the desired text.

Don't know if it was already mentioned, but a "Reply" button which will automatically quote the post. Also notify the quoted person when one of there post is quoted, or when tagged (using @)

not sure if it was mentioned or not, but "quote" or "reply" to a certain post would be handy

@duellsy Literally mentioned a post before you ;)

An edit button so we can fix those typos! Or add that markdown code block we missed

There is an edit button. Hover over your post and it will appear at the top-right corner.

I would like to know more about managing a Laravel app. Specifically what compiled.php does. Why it has errors galore in PHPStorm. Same goes for other parts of Illuminate src. It has errors in PHPStorm. How to update an existing version. Sometimes bootstrap seems go bad, and find a way to regenerate all the files. Things like autoload generation and php atrisan optimize --force etc...

The purpose of this discussion isn't to suggest lessons, but to tell Jeff more about what kind of features you'd like to see on the forum.

Instead, I suggest you post a new discussion in the "Requests" channel. :)

You should change some css in my opinion:

1. pagination on top of page
2. hitting that "like post" button is updating updated_at column for given post, so the topic jumps to the top on https://laracasts.com/discuss imo this should not happen
3. auto-saving of whatever user types when replying in a topic, so when you accidentally refresh the page or something like that, you still have that text :)
4. refreshing https://laracasts.com/discuss automatically every 20 seconds or something like that?
5. when you write a reply in a post, redirect the user to that post instead of to the top of the page

being able to sort comments by date (asc and desc).

Don't rely on hover actions :)

I am on an iPad and can't get to the post edit button since its hidden behind a hover action.

I didn't read all the conversation, sorry if I repeat something.

you may implement some sort of stackoverflow work flow, example vote down or up, a permission system for the users to help you to manage the forum accordingly to their score in the laracasts discuss.

Or More you may add tags for the questions, example: eloquent, cache ecc... Resize the discussion messages, make it smaller and use the right column to suggest similar questions, more voted, ecc...

You may also put some packages section where there are only the laravel packages available there.

Some Allert Icons that will alert the owner of the post if it is not formatted or missing something.

Delete own posts, at least if no comments are there

(a) Marking individual ("favouriting") posts.

(b) Display posts that I've marked ("favourited") in one single view/listing.

Reason: I want to refer back to wonderful code snippets and explanations that reside in individual posts.

@bbloom love that idea. This should be separate from liking, and more of a bookmarking feature

How about adding keyboard shortcuts to navigate in threads? We're geeks after all :) E.g.:

• h - previous page
• l - next page
• b - back to thread list
• u - jump to first unread post
• j - jump to next post
• k - jump to previous post
• ...

And I'm not sure if it's been mentioned before, but some way to reference specific post would be awesome. Something like https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/site-improvements/threadName#postId

maybe more structure ?

Many guys like me asking things about laravel.

So maybe you should have some categories ?

Like :

• General
• Elequent
• Models
• Views

etc.

and maybe on the right side where`s some space something like the latest 10 questions or something like this.

@HRcc there already is:

https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/site-improvements/what-are-you-missing?page=6#reply-1060

@mrterryh ah, my bad, could have checked the code. But still a click'n'copy way of grabbing this link from post might be a bit more natural.

EDIT: sending this post made me realize that it would be useful if you are redirected to ulrToThread#reply-id after creating post instead of just urlToThread.
