hi! i have two possible requests about the site- the first is, would it be possible in any way to make it so that the username of the person who started the thread is visible from the topic page? it's not a High priority thing by any means, but it's something i've always found useful in a forum environment. for example, when i go back into the Introductions topic when i've met a new person in a conversation on a different part of the forum, and want to read their intro post to get to know them more, it would be easier to find that person's intro post if i could see right away which thread is the one they've posted. the second, which is even more low priority than the first lol since it's purely cosmetic, is that i think that profile pictures could possibly be fun? however i totally understand that handling images is probably a real pain both with programming and with moderation, so not having them is totally chill lol. ty for all your work already! this is such a cool space.

oh one more thing i just thought of, would it be possible to have threads be listed on the topic page based on when they were most recently replied to, not based on when the whole thread itself was created? or maybe a way to toggle between that sorting order, and the current one, for people who prefer it this way? i'm used to most forums having the threads sorted by most recent reply, which is why i ask, lol.

oh, yes, that would be a nice idea - the profile picture, and a way to toggle between sorting orders ... :) ... I hope you all have fun writing ...

Visible username on topic page: - pretty easy. Only reason it's not there is that I didn't think of it 😅 Sorting order: - that should be quite easy actually, I'm alread sorting by the date of the first comment so sorting by the date of the last element is pretty trivial. I will add this to the top of the to-do list, thank you! Profile pictures: - Yup! It's not too hard, but there's still lower hanging fruit so far. Next November will have them for sure! I'm working on a 'like' button at the moment, so keep an eye out for that in a day or two. I will come back and like your comment then!

I love those 'like buttons' ... :) ...

Bethany: the like button is so fun! excitingggg
