Hi new guy! Welcome to the forum. You're quite a chatty new member aren't you!
Onto some of the main "issues" you've noted.
"Images on pages don't work after a while"
Not true. Pictures won't show due to users "hot linking" and posting images which are from sites that no longer exist or no longer host those images anymore and is not an issue on our end. The only issue on our end that we've picked up is prior to our forum being migrated back in March 2017 to newer Phpbb Forum software a small handful of older posts from February 2017 to April 2017 have been broken and are not displaying properly when "quoted" but we are onto this and cleaning up these bad posts as the weeks go by.
"Issue with adding an image when making a new reply in a thread"
It's not hard. Just click on the "Attachments" button below and pick your photo.
"It is not possible to download files directly from the download page"
Correct. And no, it won't be changed.
"I cannot use ctrl + b to bold text in a reply"
Neither can any one else here
Within the next few months we'll look into upgrading the reply box to a more user-friendly WYSIWYG editor but for now you'll just have to go old school and use BB Codes in the current one here.
"When I click on the reply or 'quote' button in a thread, I cannot type instantly because the page is loading which causes the 'text field' to shift a bit downwards"
Most of us have never had an issue posting a reply but we will look into this and try some tweaks to speed up and eliminate the issue.
"Users are unable to drag and drop images from the thread to their computer desktop. The 'image tool' prevents this which causes the happy dream to quickly save images fly away."
We don't support drag and drop images yet. Just right-click and chose Save As. Easy!
"Many images in threads do not work (probably because the links were temporary)"
Correct. As noted above, any images that are not working are because the poster has used images from a source that is no longer available (ie. a dodgy website, a website that is blocking resources through their Robots.txt, etc.). It is not an issue on our end and obviously can be avoided if members use the correct "Attachments" function so that the images are hosted onto our server.
"Is there a way to download a bunch of indicators at once?"
No.
"Search function is not ideal"
Sadly, most forum search tools aren't. Our hands are tied as this function is totally due to the Phpbb forum software we use. In time we may look at upgrading the forum software but for now, most members are able to get by with the search function.
"Make the first post in all threads (on this forum) editable (no expiration date)"
No. We won't be doing that for now. Why? Because we've had childish members in the past who would completely remove all of their posts and attachments if they weren't happy with responses in their threads which caused disruption to the forum.
"Images are loading much slower (in comparison to other forums)"
Hmmm not for me! Images are quite snappy here. However, In time we'll upgrade our servers when traffic increases but until then you'll just have to grin and bear it.
As you are new here you probably don't know this but we aren't funded by big brokers or sponsors - we are funded by our own trading accounts and most importantly we are funded by you, (the visitor who does not block our three Google ads). So until we are able to attract more loyal members and visitors you might just have to wait a couple of more seconds for our images to load. And if it becomes completely unbearable for your poor soul please feel free to use other trading forums instead. The world is your oyster!
perhaps u should start ur own forum & see how that goes muahaha
