Also, the white background is too bright for my eyes, but that can be solved later if you implement some sort of skin system. Or am I missing it? — discoii

Yeah I can customize the colours, but only admin can do it and this would apply globally, i.e., you can't pick your own colours as far as I know. Personally I like the white, but I might try something else and see what everyone thinks.

Yeah, I find the default way too small, which is why I have my browser zoomed to 125% for this site. Ctrl+ twice, and it scales up nicely. It's good at even higher zooms too if you want to fill the screen.

Note that a relatively a low number of words per line, i.e., narrow columns, is good user-experience design, hence the typical newspaper and book formats. Having to scan all the way across the screen slows down reading.

Welcome! What don't you like about it?

Hi Tiff, welcome aboard! Thanks for this. Yes I'm on the free trial at the moment and have to start paying November 3rd I think, $49/month so long as we don't outgrow the limits for that plan. There's a subscription option in admin which I intend to turn on soon. I guess what it does is add a page where members can subscribe (donate). I'll post here when I get somewhere with it.

Thanks again :)

I've added this to my list of nice-to-have features here: http://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/224#Post_224

Notice that normal replies work rather like PF's internal replies, in that they're fast and don't require a page load. The challenge might be to resist the temptation to fire off short replies most of the time.

Welcome folks, good to have you all on board. Now get philosophizing. :)

So I'm going to email the developers to request some features. I get a feeling they're pretty conservative, happy with the software as it is, but there's no harm in asking. Here's my list so far:

• Reporting posts. To make moderation easier it would be good if posts could be reported or flagged.
• It would be good to have another option in the user's profile along with a user's comments, discussions and mentions: discussions they have taken part in.
• Muted discussions. When you don't want to see a discussion appear in the main discussions screen.

What else? I'll edit this post to add more.

I think they could encourage good behaviour.

Haven't noticed the time problem. The second one looks like expected behaviour: it's assuming your first name is The. This software is geared more to communities where people use their real names: within businesses, universities, etc.

Sounds like good advice The.

Just a note to say these are great replies and I'm not responding just because of my broken arm—which I keep going on about, but only because I don't want people to think I'm ignoring them.

Incidentally, I see that you can get a post's permalink from the time posted, bottom left of the post.

I pretty much agree with the OP, and also with @Pneumenon. But here's a thought...

Disquotationalism might still seem to fit naturally with a kind of deflationary realism. For deflationary realists, the task is a defensive one, to deny the unwarranted metaphysical excursions of idealism in favour of what is ordinarily evident, from life and science: I share with others a world that's often surprising—I often literally don't know what's around the next corner—and I've seen the bones of creatures that lumbered over the Earth a hundred million years ago, long before all human consciousness. The world transcends my self, my ideas, my thoughts, and at certain points the entire intersubjective world and the whole of history. It is as real as you can get.

This is naive, unphilosophical realism, and it's what the deflationary realist is defending. The idealist comes along and tries to reduce the world to a known substance or structure, that of the mental, or discourse, etc. This metaphysical move the realist cannot allow. But the deflationary realist is not offering a competing metaphysics on what the world is, but only affirming that it exceeds our bounds, as is merely evident. And this is why he wants to abandon correspondence. Correspondence is, usually, a classically realist theory, but it is too metaphysical, too positive for the deflationary realist. For him there can be no question of language vs the world, or anything that opens the door to talk of what reality is really like. Disquotationalism could be part of a suite of deflationary tactics designed to criticize idealist metaphysics.

Where'd he mention you?

Question 1: What's the mention?

Question 2: The tweeting bird??? (Not familiar with Twitter)

Question 3: How much stuff can be in the used archive until it's full? — ssu

1. So I'll try mentioning @Hanover and see what happens. I guess it links to the profile, and I think he gets a notification he's been mentioned too.

2. You can paste in a tweet's permalink, and it embeds the tweet within your post like this:

3. What archive? Do you mean uploaded files? Posts are unlimited and on the current plan we've got 20GB storage space for files in total.

Is "Woo" really a category now? — Human

Not any more. It was a moment of madness.

When your mouse pointer is hovering over your post you should see an edit button appear underneath the body of the post, just to the right of the time. If you're on mobile you could probably tap your post to make it appear.

One real question to everyone, is there a way to get a listing of only the threads you've participated in like existed on that other site I used to frequent? I used to use the "My Threads" button, but I can't find one here. I tried to cut and paste theirs over here, but it doesn't work that way. — Hanover

I don't think so, but you can bookmark discussions to list them under your bookmarks. Also kind of maybe relevant is that you get notifications when people quote you or reply to you. It would be nice though, I agree. I'll see what Mr PlushForums says about it.

If we have 'like and dislikes' it would be great if we could deactivate that if we so choose. — Mayor of Simpleton

Note that the system only has likes, and no dislikes.

Doesn't look like it. What you can do is hide a category's discussions from your "All discussions" screen. Not the same but the closest thing I've found to what you're looking for.

mwaha

I wonder if he knows how to select text?

I have to go out now. Any problems or complaints, post them in the feedback category.

:-)

And besides, "free speech" should and does have limits. — Sapientia

Really? Sounds like a discussion in the making.

That's the stuff of internet legend.

I added another option.

Yes indeed. Thank you.

Yep, I bloody love it.

Hey Πετροκότσυφας, welcome. I've got the site zoomed to 125%. Ctrl+ to zoom your browser, and it'll remember that setting whenever you're on the site (in Chrome at least).

And welcome Sapientia. Good to have you here.

Done. I'm curious: did it seem impossible to do it yourself?

Oh and welcome on board, again. :)

There's a built-in subscription thing I can turn on that could be perfect for donations. I'll work it out some time in the next few days.

There, I gave you one.

No, I'm afraid not.

UPDATE: I managed to turn off the likes leaderboard.

I don't mind likes, but I'm not too keen on the leaderboard. Not sure if I can get rid of it. Probably not.

In some ways it might be an improvement on PF, because there's no dislike.

Thanks very much Benkei, that's a good deal! But this forum here is ready pretty much out of the box, they take care of all the hosting issues, and it will be scalable and just look after itself (technically I mean). I'm going to set up subscriptions so people can help me with the monthly $49.

Thanks Benkei! Hope to have a domain sorted out soon, and any help getting people over here is appreciated.
