ForumSpark Support

I was wondering if it would be possible, if you post HTML for your topic(or any post) that when you go to edit your post it would automatically go back to HTML mode to preserve the HTML?

Right now if you hit edit, it will go straight to rich text editor which removes the HTML so you must copy/paste it as HTML again.

Why is it not IP based as well? Just banning a user name and/or email is pointless…I like to have IP banning as well… is it something that will be added at some point? I also see you have an Xenforo and Jcink convertor… I’d only consider converting if IP banning was an option tbh… lots to consider….

Howabout adding a "Follow" or "Follow Member" button in a member's tooltip when you hover over their name on the forum? This would make it easier to follow others without having to physically visit their profile page.

A pretty basic feature so I figured i'd request it.

When can we see custom profile fields be implemented? A system that XF, Jcink and many others have by default baked into their core. I feel like this should definitely be implemented at some point and could even help with some extensions & codes being developed easier (such as gamer profiles and such for gaming communities)

Just a thought? :)

Overall I like what you have done and I might just buy the the second or third tier package.

It matches what I want for my MMORPG browser game, that's in early beta v15.0.0. It is live right now for a trail period and feedback.

What am I actually getting if I was to pick this forum platform?

Will I get support like actual help creating my forum because if my game goes big and people ask about my forum software, I will point them your way if not is their like a affiliate or discount promotion or some way I earn if not I wont mention your forum platform.

Thank you, with kind humble regards, AlChEmY/Ricardo

Something I think might be beneficial for FS is a premium option that let's you customize features.

For instance maybe you don't want a feature included with the package, so you can deselect it for a small discount.

Or maybe you want features from a higher tier but don't need the extra server storage space?

Maybe mix and match features.

I'm sure you'd have to price features individually and I'm not sure how hard it would be to implement but I see it as something beneficial in the future maybe in 2.5?

I don't know if this was suggested already, so forgive me if it has, but is there a way to change an Avatar one time across all forums that I've joined? I noticed that I switched my avatar on one forum, but the old one was on the other ones. If there isn't a way, do you think it could be added at some point to a new release?

Hello,

I would like to suggest adding advanced filtering and sorting options for topics within forum sections. For example, allowing users to filter topics by thread title, author, post date, number of replies, and view count, as well as sort them alphabetically (A–Z / Z–A), by newest/oldest, most replies, or most views.

I believe these features would make it much easier for users to find the content they are looking for and improve the overall browsing experience.

I hope you will consider implementing this enhancement in a future update.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration!

Maybe tags for topics (and other content) would be nice to have similar to what some other forum software has. It could make things better organized and easier to search for. I know there are topic labels but its not really the same thing, and kinda limited.

Im not sure if this is possible, But Id like to suggest the ability to redirect topics to multiple sections at once.

I'll give an example, lets say i run a forum about soft drinks, and i have sections for Coca Cola, Pepsi and Dr Pepper. But where would i post a topic about your favorite soft drink? It would apply to multiple sections and it doesnt make sense to post the same topic multiple times, so the best thing would be to be able to post it once in the Coca Cola section for example and then have the topic in the Pepsi and Dr. Pepper sections redirect to the original topic. Hope that makes sense.

Not sure if this was asked before, but is there any plans on allowing users to self-host with Forum Spark? Not sure if self-hosting would fix reload times. I've been noticing that it takes quite a few seconds to open any page or any thread

I was thinking a widget for most viewed topics would be a nice addition that you could put on the sidebar or elsewhere.

Would be nice to have a button for spoilers in the text editor

I was thinking making a spot for widgets where they'd only appear on your main page but when you go into forums or topics they would not show up? Like if you put a welcome message above the board or affiliates in the footer, there would be an option slider if you only wanted them to appear on the main page of the forum?

Another suggestion that came to my mind was being able to set the dark theme as the default one for all users (guests included)

Status updates would be a cool feature to have

Would love the ability to add icons in topic labels (using font awesome)

With our new Developer site, along with the app directory and the ability to easily enable or disable extensions through the ACP, we’re opening the door to a whole new range of possibilities. This allows us to begin developing official extensions - such as a shop and credits system - which is already close to release.

That got me thinking: it would be useful to have a dedicated, pinned topic where you can request new official extensions that aren’t currently possible within our developer ecosystem. We understand this approach has limitations, especially for larger-scale ideas, but it’s a necessary step to maintain the quality and security standards of ForumSpark.

So, if you have any requests for official extensions, feel free to share them here.

Would be nice to add a filter/option on the achievement page to only show the ones that have been earned

Hello~

One more thing for now: is it possible to change the dimensions/allowable size for the avatars on my own board? Instead of 400x400 at 200kb (which doesn't really work anyway unless I use a super simple avatar), can I make it, say, 300x500 (just as an example that stretches past the 400x400 and 200kb allowance)?

We're gonna have more Menu bar options to support Sub-nav?

Starting to get very busy now, and so like to have drop-down sub menu bar option :)

I would like to see some form of individual indicator for the custom profile fields like Jcink has to make it easier for customizing display in the mini profile field.

Phone menu that appears on the bottom of the screen, "activity, alerts, inbox, search, and the profile menu." where do I find that on the ACP? Or can someone give me the selectors for mobile? I'm currently on my laptop Mac and the inspector doesn't support mobile view. I need to download google chrome. ._.''

Just noticed, I posted this on the wrong section, meant to post it on the support section. Sorry.

Hi everyone,

I’d really appreciate it if you could take a moment to write a short testimonial about ForumSpark. We’re planning to feature some member reviews on the main website soon.

If you’ve been enjoying ForumSpark, feel free to share what you like about it in a short review. Your feedback would mean a lot and helps others get a better idea of what the community is all about.

Thanks in advance!

1. First, I was thinking allowing aliases by group would be nice. Perhaps you only want one group to have aliases like a special role playing group if that's not your forum's main subject.

2. Multiple polls per topic. Maybe an option to add more than one poll and acp option that let's you limit the amount of polls you can create to what you want.

3. Quiz/Test option. Right now polls allow one question with options to vote on and it shows how many voted. How about a way to add multiple questions with selectable answers when you hit submit it shows you which ones you got right and ones you got wrong. Then it would show overall the percentage who got the questions correct?

I don't want to add too much to your plate, I know you're busy as heck right now. Just some ideas. :)
