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.

Case in point

@Basil we used to actually show a thumbnail of the Steel in question. It was a pleasing experience, but was a bit intensive so we went away from it for site speed. However never say never that we don't upgrade server and add it back.

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

Thought you said unicorn...

One of the worst decisions made on this site/ forum was the removal of the edition thumbnails on every thread from the menus. I absolutely hate just seeing just the avatar of the member who created the thread. But it’s been so long that I’m also used to it now. But yeah that was a downgrade and I’m not alone in thinking that

I wish you would bring it back and sure im not alone in this thinking

And remember speed is not everything

Plus I settle for slower loading not that I ever remember the board being slow back then either
