This forum has it's good things, but it also had bad things that could easily be fixed if some time was actually put in to fix them. So here's a list of things on the forum that need improving:
-Search. Search is crap, I usually find threads quicker by wading through page after page of the forum looking for it. I recently searched for a topic of mine that is not appearing in my content. I searched the exact name of the thread (Minecraft+) and selected search title only. My thread did not come up, but 200 something pages of random things with Minecraft in the title did. We need some more options like an advanced search button, search this exact term button, and do not include button. Search should also bring up ALL of your threads when you search a name, not just the ones that decided to appear in My Content.
-My Content. This is a buggy feature in general. Threads and posts sometimes don't even appear here, or disappear after a few days. The sad thing is that Curse knows of this bug and hasn't done anything about it. If some time was spent trying to fix this I'm 100% sure that it's possible.
-Emoticons. This is the Minecraft forum, we need Minecraft themed smilies, not these: :sad.gif: . Here's some smilies by Captain Malone that would look a lot better and fit the theme of the forum:Stevemoticons. We also need more emoticons for objects in Minecraft. Right now we're missing quite a few. Done!
I'm sure there are more improvements to be made, but my mind has gone blank. Feel free to suggest any improvements you'd like to see!
Search isn't crap. Limit your search to the subforum your topic was in.
Yes, it's buggy. Now, do you know what's causing it to be buggy? I don't. Do you even know it's a bug? Ever crossed your mind that Curse was trying to limit something? No, you don't know. So don't just go "If some people spent time on this it would be done" because for all you know, they could be working on it. Try complaining to Curse, get a response from them.
Emoticons are just fine. Most of them are Minecraft related. Observe:
:Flint and Steel:
Wrong section.

1. I have limited my search to the subforum, the same thing happens but just with threads in the subforum.
2. Curse has admitted that it is a bug. Other sites have the same feature without the bugs so it can't be amazingly hard to do.
3. I realize that most of them are already Minecraft related, but it would be nice to use actual Steve emoticons. It wouldn't be that hard to use the Stevemoticons I've linked instead of the ones we have now. I've made a forum so I would know.
4. What section do you suggest I put it in?

Are you serious? The search is 10x worse than Bing! I shouldn't have to limit the search. In fact, I never get any results when I search a topic.
Also, there should be subcategories in "Suggestions" so you can only look at certain types of suggestions if you want!
If I helped in any way, don't click that little green +, instead tell me how much you liked the post. (Only those who are incapable of earning rep the hard way have to beg for it in their signatures).

The forum has it's downsides which needs improvement.
Yes I hate how buggy the my content feature is, they say they are trying to fix it but i don't believe them :sad.gif:
Emoticons are fine, more Mc objects though

That being said, I'd like to see everything above and the ability to properly quote someone who quoted another post in their post.
