Missing Features

Tried this plugin out of interest as I’m looking for a way to have blogs’ imageboards forums, galleries and stuff all rolled into one for a upcoming all in one community site to support people into anime, cosplay etc that need supporting with issues like social anxiety bad lives etc.

Unfortunately I found this plugin lacking in mostly normal features I am going to need for my upcoming site. As this plugin is the only one available its very disappointing.

I will list below improvements for this plugin and feel free to contact me if you like as I would be willing to help run test and support this plugin through usage, feature requests and feedback.

The things I found from a quick run missing are:

[ Moderator note: Please close <li> properly or it breaks the formatting. ]

• Tripcode support
• Easy Admin tools
• Checkbox on the actual post page for admins to delete
• Flag for moderation from other users
• Ability to disable public viewing of the board and to use a login either connected to wordpress or a forum login, I want to create a private site, also one could link it on 4chan’s /b/ for spamming and I would not be able to stop that same with your demo site
• Easier instructions and setup via a wizard as I followed the video and found the ID needs to be just a ID not the full url link
• Also on instructions in plugin documentation
• Better thread name and post count descriptions and styling are needed in a header bar with a background like the post footer date/time to show the thread info, I was pretty confused at first wondering if I was in the thread or not and what the links, meant
• Ability to show a few posts in a thread on the main board instead of just the first one
• GUI theme support so we can make save and share themes to import and use in the wordpress GUI
• Hide subject when in a thread and not on the main board I didn’t know if I was replying to a thread or not making a post
• Sticky and Announcement posts
• If this isn’t in ability to have posts per page on the board and to define the amount
• You have it on your own site but image verification on this plugin toggable in the plugin GUI

These things if implemented will really make this plugin stand out.

As it is I cannot and won’t be using this plugin due to requiring some of these features and having used imageboards before as a admin and wanting to create a multi featured all in one site site open to the public and those who have used proper imageboards before I am posting in hope that all these features will be implemented.

I am offering as said to support the plugin through what means I can though suggestions as above and more, testing and bug reporting and for this plugin to be showcased, given public exposure by powering a anime/cosplay etc life support community which I plan to grow into something a decent size.
