Hi Dreamers,
Tomorrow I'll be talking with one of the team who designs and upgrades the software behind this forum.
So, if you have any ideas for improvements or updates, please leave them below.
This isn't a place to discuss the ideas or themes of the forum content, more the practical needs for the forum software, and features themselves.
So, If you've noticed any problems or would like a new feature or integration, that kind of thing.
Importantly don't just focus on the what but also WHY
This is a chance to make a difference in how the forum evolves and future features, and a rare opportunity to be heard by the people who are in a position to make those changes. Remember if someone posts an idea you agree with, upvote the comment so it's obvious which features and ideas are popular.
I thought it would be great to have a section for lucid dreaming challenges. Something where anyone could create a challenge and where everyone could be part of a challenge. With no rules or limitations, just for fun and competition.
I'm noticing an annoying tendency for the Telegram login box to steal focus and scroll the page all the way down to the bottom of every forum topic I try to load, forcing me to click outside the telephone number box and manually scroll back up again just to read the forum. I'm afraid that's going to get old really fast.
Also, this forum in general seems unusually JavaScript- and CSS-heavy and always loads noticeably sluggishly on my desktop computer, particularly in Firefox-based browsers (Chromium/Chrome are much faster, though), even though nearly every other website/forum I regularly visit and my connection speed are fine.
Maybe I'm just blind, but the main content of the whole homepage (including the forum and all the interesting theory) seems to be only accessible when scrolling down the "Home" section quite a bit. It might be better/more intuitive to link a shortcut to the forum and other sites of the webpage in the navigation bar.
Also, as there are getting quite a few threads on the forum, to have them sectioned might be useful so you can quickly navigate around to topics that interest you at that point, might future proof it a bit better? That's the experience I like in technical forums I use for work, I'm fairly new to the Reddit style with upvoting...I feel so old!
I don't know why but it always seems a little slow to navigate from say the notifications back to the forum, might be me
Someone in the chat was hoping that somehow the Telegram chat could be incorporated into the website.
I'd like this as you can then quickly discuss topics between the two, might encourage a lot of the 'chatters' to engage on the Forum also.
The notification bell doesn't seem to work on my iPhone so I can't get to comments etc on threads I'm involved with. On the mobile platform it's also a bit tricky to see the divisions between threads when trying to reply on one (could be my old, old eyes though!)
