Some short suggestions that would make a huge difference.

We are a skiing media site/app, we really need to make it easier to share content on forums.
- Photos embed themselves automatically with links.
- Videos embed themselves automatically with links.
- Ability to delete own comments in forums
- Remove the thumbsdown button
- Comments to a post should go underneath post. Not on the last page.
- One notification button. There is a bell and a banner that both do the same thing on the app. Remove one.

I believe our site is getting dated. We need to mimic user interfaces of sites like Instagram and Facebook. Make newcomers want to stay. Nobody wants to share media around when you have to put it into coding. Nobody does that anymore. It’s time, what is stopping us? Money? Resources?

Any other suggestions?

STEEZUS_CHRI5T- Photos embed themselves automatically with links.
- Videos embed themselves automatically with links.

You can do this already, turn the editor "on" and there is an embed button, you paste your link and it embeds the video/photo/whatever it detects.

STEEZUS_CHRI5TOn mobile?

Yes, I'm looking at the controls right how, the button will say "editor on" but that means it's off, you hit that button to turn it on. I recognize that's a bit backwards but it will work.

Sometimes the app just siezes up and has to be restarted, can this get fixed? Wasn’t sure where to post and didn’t think it was worth a new thread.

Becoming a Brave publisher would be huge for me. I'd tip 50 BAT right now. Anyone using the Brave browser is already blocking ads and scripts on the site so NS might as well make something off of us.
