Hi-Def Ninja - New Site Features - 2026 - What Would You Like to See?

[Wreck]

Hi All,

Thinking ahead we'd like an open discussion of what potential new site features you'd like to see?

Hopefully we can tackle some of that in 2026!

Whether it's something small, or something big we'd like to hear your thoughts.

I take it you are aware of the Like button on each post to the right? If you hover over it, it gives further reaction options. Unless you can clarify a specific reaction you are looking for. Like @BluSteel2012 mentioned below a dislike button. I know we can add that, opted not to long ago but likely worth revisiting adding now.

Sure but it's not really the same thing was my point. I can agree with something I don't like and I feel that like implies more of a personal feeling about something while agreement is less so; take for example when someone announces a famous actor has died, I don't really want to be liking those posts even though I'm in agreement with the sentiment.

Just a thought anyway, no big deal.

Just tag me in any HD zeta threads you want unlocked , that or other mods can unlock them going forward.

It's not possible to post in any of the threads let alone tag you though as they are locked......

We can add more emojis, you can put some in this thread or shoot them to me in PM. We don't want to overload it as its different then smilies but we can add a few more if people feel there is need.

I feel that implies love... like I'm coming to your home for Christmas to get married and spend the rest of our lives together, my love, kind.

You got a point there. lol. I was doing a search and my results were pinging a lot of sales threads so I tried to see if there was an easier way. I'll have to bust out better search methods. Give me time. ha.

On the subject of emojis, is there any specific reason we can’t use standard Unicode emojis in posts?

 

[Flloydo]

On the subject of emojis, do we really need more?

A dislike button would be hilariously brutal tho. You post cine museum and titans of cult news, beauty shots or some sh!tty design steelbook from anywhere and just get hated on .
Place would turn as toxic and savage as Reddit tho which isn’t good

please close all hdzeta threads

There is some already in line if you mean like colon and parenthesis.

I'm always using the check-mark/thanks icon for that, e.g. someone created a thread: I do not like the release but I appreciate the effort creating one for it.

I was more meaning if I use emojis from my phone in the body of a message, they get stripped while posting. Not a huge issue but I’ve always wondered why that was, as it’s just easier to use the emojis on my device than looking through the forum menu to find the equivalent.

Set it up so each 'dislike' removes a 'like' from a members total count... @Flloydo's would go into the minuses

but that would require that his posts be read

@Wreck well heres one whether doable or not dont know

but instead on steelbook forum member who created the thread there avatar
have the artwork from the first post up as the image on the board of steel even if thats artwork tbc at least gives people idea of what it is, example wolf children is anime i cant stand anime or pop art for that matter

would be a huge improvement in my eyes as amount of threads i opened before realised its some ive done already then forgotten about the image then realised not something im interested in artwork wise just to close down again

anyway thats my one thought, im sure in past we used to have this but as i say my memory is not brillant, just hope its possible
