    - Add a Pokemon Rejuvenation Channel to the Discord Server. It would help for easy discussion, quick reply to questions, and would overall be more convenient.

    I like this idea, the game is certainly popular enough that it's earned a Showdown backchannel before.

    - Is it possible to have the ability to easily change colors in mobile? It would be a great help as it is quite inconvenient to use the code for it.

    What do you mean by this? Are you referring to changing name colors on the Discord server? The Showdown server? Or maybe someplace else?

    Would it be possible to implement a 'back to top' button to enhance user experience? That could make it easier to get back to the top (kind of in the name), especially if it's quite a long thread.

    That feels like something I swear I've seen somewhere before on the forums. It would be built into the IPS forum theme that we're using, maybe in a newer update, if one exists. I can look into this, but I don't know that we'll get one anytime soon.

    I think I was caught between popping and not popping it for satisfaction's sake. That was at least two years ago, I'm unsure what happened with it.

    Cool! It's Arkhi this week. Why is there no mention of gazelles?

    Because we like talking about positive issues, and the continual existence of gazelles is an elephant in the room that ought be unanimously discouraged.

    Hey guys....could I get some advice, maybe?

    I'm afraid I'm not as well-versed in asexuality, so I cannot offer advice on that front. It does sound like you have been treading with caution and care with many of the steps towards reparation you've made, and that's definitely a noteworthy point. For your partner's sake, it is fortunate that you have outreached so much and extended helping hands, though it seems as if that is not what she would like. Perhaps the affection that you see yourself giving is mistaken for coddling in her eyes, which builds up pressure in her. It really does sound as if you're taking many essential measures to salvage the relationship, and I hope that you both may see that. While you have mentioned some points of anger where you have exploded (though maybe a less powerful word would work here better), you seem to be considering her emotions and thoughts. As NatJones said above, communication is key. I hope that she is contributing as much effort as you are to repair these issues. If she is not, then it is a possibility that she does not intend to put forth the same constructive energy into this relationship. It may be that, or perhaps that she is still under great stress and simply cannot put forth that energy right now. Both of these problems have solutions, I'm sure, though I cannot confidently vouch for any, I've never thought this far ahead.

     

    I'm hopeful that collecting your thoughts and running this situation by others here will result in beneficial solutions and I wish you the very best.

    The layout of topics in the "On the Hunt" subforum and a few others is extremely confusing. Posts seem not to be ordered by when they were posted, resulting in this happening:

     

    88e71c3b6dc847bcbe120269ec6578d9.png

     

    Because I didn't see the timestamp on laggless's post at first, I ended up replying to a post from four months ago that I thought was new (and that I already replied to before). 

     

    I don't really know the reason topics are like this in some subforums, but at least for me, it does more harm than good. It also refers to all submitted topics as "Questions", which when I was originally making the relationship variable guide made me question if I was posting in the right place because I wasn't asking a question. 

     

    Is there a way for individual users to change this layout, and if not, can one be considered (assuming it's possible)?

    @Ice Cream Sand Witch

    At the last meeting, we looked at this issue. Ultimately, it was decided to maintain the forum as it is now for several reasons. All threads in a forum must either be in question format or normal format, so it would have to be one or the other, I'm afraid. In order to highlight excellent upvoted answers, the question format for threads is preferable. This also makes it easier for users googling for results pertaining to Reborn not covered in the Reborn Wiki.

     

    However, these are the justifications we had in mind in making this decision. If the format is especially troubling despite this all, we can change this to suit the users' needs. All that we'd need to change it to the normal feedback is support for changing to the default thread format.

    So its no secret that the recent topic board is a fast moving thing with the volume of topics being made on the forum. Sadly enough this is largely LF/Online play or reborn questions, though the latter is nothing new.

     

    I'm wondering if it would be possible to allow personal curation for the user by toggling what forum sections to show topics from on the new topic board. This lets people see more of the content they might miss in the wake of the other topics they may not be interested in.

     

    EDIT: Also, a followup to my previous suggestion to create a subforum for celebrations, there is a demonstrable amount of visible traffic seen with the current "happy birthdayx/anniversary" threads, pointedly more than several other subforums like gaming general or CW. Just count the topics, it would also be ahelpful dumping ground for AMAs

    @Felix-

    Unfortunately, the following/notification system (the one responsible for giving you notifications) does not blend with the Recent Topics feed. Effectively, that means the Recent Topics feed cannot be feasibly changed.

     

    A milestone-themed sub-forum is something of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it allows us to conglomerate all birthday, AMA, and milestone threads and keep General Discussion much more general. On the other, we're worried about it seeing little use in the downtime between the AMA waves and little use due to the content not being geared towards readers, but rather other users. If there is enough interest generated (maybe through a petition?), then this idea can get implemented. I suppose that is true of any change in Reborn; if users band together and demand a reasonable change, then it may very well occur.

    Now, to pose a question, is the rumor that most people who prefer to stay online are introverts true?

    It's not unfounded. The internet is just the most accessible and widely-used outlet for communication with 21st century introverts.

     

    Realized I hadn't posted mine, so I'm an ISTJ-A. I can't speak on others' behalves, but introversion is not a direct implication of discomfort around people for me, I just dislike empty discussion and there seems to be an overbearing amount of that I've seen among my peers.

    Depends if you're sober or drunk more of the time.

    Considering that you and Ame share the same number of circles, does it mean that it's gonna take a whole load of posts before the 9th circle to appear?

    I believe the eighth pip should appear at 5,000 posts. I don't know if there is a ninth pip, it's definitely up there, maybe at 20,000 or 50,000. So yes, it would take quite some time before any user hits nine pips.
