Hey society members,

As we hit 2 weeks old today, we have introduced several new features to the forum. First, I'd like to thank our registered members for joining and contributing in The Chat Society's early stages. We are just getting started and have much more improvements and content coming!

We have been hard at work behind the scenes to customize and alter our Light and Dark styles to adapt them more to this community and cater them to our needs. You may have already noticed a few of these updates.

What are the new forum features?

  • We now have an easy way to share discussions! Every thread has a "copy link" option directly underneath the thread title. This will quickly copy the link to the discussion to your clipboard for easy sharing.

  • We have adjusted the avatar opacity for offline users. While online users will have a blinking icon front and center beneath their avatar, offline users' avatars will now be a shade darker to easily identify them as being offline. Here is an example:

  • New discussions will now display an icon next to the title on the thread list indicating there are unread posts.
  • Directly underneath the thread title (near the thread date) on the thread list, a "Mark as read" option is now available to easily mark threads read without having to click on them. The option will change to "Mark as unread" when the thread is read.

  • Like a specific member's content or curious to see what other content they've posted? You can easily find "More threads by (user)" below the thread title to jump to a page with all their threads.

  • "All threads" button available on thread list to show all discussions on one page (up to 100) instead of having to browse various pages

  • Quick search functionality to find threads in forums easier. Just start typing and results will be shown automatically

  • Username customization is here! Choose your own icon to display in front of your name and any username color!
Please do not choose icons/colors to impersonate staff or Elite Society members.

That is all the updates for now! I am currently working on behind the scenes improvements each and every day to make TCS more unique! If you have any suggestions, please mention them at the Community Roundtable. Also, if you would like to donate to assist in our upgrades, hosting and plugin costs, as well as licensing, please consider upgrading your account here.
