I love the forums feature, don’t get me wrong, but there are some things that can be a bit annoying, especially on the app.

The most annoying thing in my opinion is that when you’re commenting on a forum post and you click the return button, it automatically sends the comment. This happens to me all the time when I press the surrounding keys like space and delete.

Another annoying thing is that posts get lost and there’s no way to find a specific post if you need help with one thing only. It would be really helpful if there was a searchbar or filters like there is for patterns and photos.

Another thing that is quite difficult is finding official challenges so many people post challenges. Maybe the addition of an official challenges section would be nice. It would be the same as the other challenges button but only moderators, super moderators, and admins can create new challenges, while regular users can only comment.

The final thing I would love to see in the forums are clickable links for patterns. There are a lot of posts like “i need pattern suggestions” or “patterns to use with color changing thread” where people dump heaps pf beautiful patterns. But trying to find those patterns can be tedious as you either have to screenshot it or go to the website so you can use the link.

These are just ideas, but I really think they could improve the forums a lot. Thanks for reading and have a beautiful day.

All of these features would be really helpful, especially the searchbar, I hate having to scroll back weeks to find a certain forum post

I definitely agree with the one about challenges. It's always takes me a while to find official challenges because there are so many user challenges with loads of emojis and fonts which make them harder to notice, I don't mind people making challenges but I find it a bit annoying.

@amwatson yeah same. And as often as people post, it doesn’t take much for posts to get lost.

We do have clickable links for patterns though? You just type the pattern number with a number sign in front of it. Like #30781

@stormii the pattern links only work on the website, not the app

The thing I hate most is people constantly asking the same things over and over. A message for them: please, read other topics before posting! It's really annoying

I agree with most of these ideas, especially the search bar function. Maybe you should message the admin to give your ideas?

@Deuken there should be a section (in the app) for the FAQs. About the ranks, for example. But Admin has already a lot of work to do, I feel like me asking for this (since I am one of the fews asking this) would be too much Idk
