Here are some features I recommend implementing

Hi @admin, I have taken a peek through this demo website and it perfectly simple and easy to use. It is in fact a good script for a forum website/platform. With that said here are some features or things worth noting: 1. There should be a "Remember me" option on the login page so user doesn't have to input details again every time they're accessing the platform. 2. The entry links on the feed open on a new tab when clicked, which is honestly not practical having 20+ tabs for the same website. Each link should not open on a new "blank" tab. 3. The user page/profile dashboard looks so limited. Infact to be fair, it is that limited at all since it contains the basic user profile features but having everything in a single page like changing email, password reset, changing username, notifications, account erasure... etc makes it look crumped up. 4. On mobile view, opening the single post entry, the discussions (comments and replies) appear to take too much width. They scroll past the view. 5. The entry cards on the feeds are also too small leaving a lot of unutilized space on the homepage. 6. While embedding media like videos and files looks practical, for images, it is best if the user can upload them directly into the platform rather than embedding from external sites. I realize embedding solves some storage issues, but users would see it as a lot of work posting here, then going to an image service to upload a photo just to link it back. Im that case, a simple file size limit plus compression could solve storage for image uploads instead of the extra work of linking. 7. Most importantly, there should be some sort of categorization. In most forums, apart from #hashtags, it is good practice to include a system for **sub-forums** that users can join. Like the way sub-reddits in Reddit work. That way discussions become interest-based. Right now this one looks like one big forum for everything. 8. This extends from the above point. As a user I am more interested in discussions or topics of my interest. When I log in to the platform I expect to see things that interest me least I lose interest and log out quickly. There's already a feed system called "My Feed" I see in the menu panel but this is hidden while infact it should be the default sorting option on the homepage. As you can see, that is why it is important to have the sub-forums and user following system (guess it's already there) so that the user see first posts from groups or other users that they follow. If a grouping system is a long call, then you could simply implement categories. 9. The NSFW feature is perfectly done. 10. Still the styling and design need to be done. Consider this constructive feedback.
