Feature Request : ForumIAS Beta | Features that you would like
We are in the process of building Beta version of the community software that will have enhanced features, personalised wall, ability to block and ignore users, with groups and channels.
We would like to have your inputs on this. Kindly suggest by commenting below and we"ll try to accomodate it.
Features from above:
- Bookmark / save each comment to one's account
- Pin Discussions to My Space
- Blue Tick for Trusted Community Members , Red Tick for Staff Users , Green Tick for Selected Candidates
- Scorecard of each person based on contribution
- Back To Top Link
- Navigation Buttons on Top
- Listing members on the basis of Followership, newness of age
- Removing Featured Tab
In tagging users, differentiation of username on the basis of case(capital/small letters) should not be there, like in case of email ids.
For example, @themiddlepath and@TheMiddlePath both should lead to me.
I can't always remember that Thinker has T capital and root has all small letters.

This is a good suggestion. Verified profiles of rank holders / credentials.
Yes verified profiles would be a good update
@curious_kid Please see how the earlier discuss platform would generate youtube video preview of youtube / vimeo links.

Patrick_jane,Page following is the best feature.
But, I believe, it should be kept separate, like.. add another tab where all the pages (followed by a user) post can be tracked.
It becomes clumsy to handle every post and notification in the 'Latest' tab. I unfollowed all the pages after getting overloaded with lots of posts (factly, quiz etc.) every day. This is what I believe restricts users to follow these pages.
TheMiddlePath,
Top comment feature - The comment which is more relevant to question or by an expert or by an selected candidate at top. This makes it easy to find relevant answer for a problem.
Reward points feature - for authenticity of writers on quest. For genuine and honest guidance to students.
Tagging & response feature - Lets say if people want to get response from a particular person on a really important issue, number of people will tag or number of likes. This will enable to meet demand of students from mentors.
Mental or emotional support feature- For better response from all to any need of a student. We are witnessing high levels of depression in upsc circles. Forum can be a starting point for this neglected aspect.
Thank you.
jack_Sparrow,Patrick_jane,#1 Can we have a scroll to bottom arrow , just like we have scroll to top arrow? Also, can they be more subtle and less prominent? Have trouble scrolling till the end all the time.
#2 In sharing Options, apart from whatsapp telegram, please provide copy the URL option also!
GaryVee,
FieldMarshal,+1 This makes sense. Thank you.
Currently the bookmark feature is limited to posts and not to comments or replies to comments. Having a bookmark feature for comments and replies to comments as well will be very handy. It is tedious to go through all comments of the bookmarked post when all we want to look for is a specific comment at a later point in time.
FieldMarshal,So something like an uparrow and downarrow like on Disqus and Pocket like symbol for saving comments?@vagabond

Yep,
the usernames should not be case sensitive!
