  A preview and/or save feature. Comes in handy while attaching images or vids.

  I personally really prefer reddit's dicussion format, and I think it'd be better if the PoP system rewarded reddit activity too.

  On the mobile version, the page numbers for a thread are too close together. On my iPhone, there's also limited zooming ability for the forums (to make it easier to push the right page number), so it's actually very difficult to select the next page number in a thread. Would be great to spread out the numbers a bit (or change the code so I can zoom in more, and spread out the numbers myself). Maybe adding a bit Next Page link would be another way to deal with it.

  Please add support for BitID so that I no longer need a username and password.

  Having a name/nick is just fine, but having a publicly visible account name that people can bruteforce against should they want to, and storing password hashes (or cleartext passwords!) on your end is a security risk. Please allow those of us who want to manage that risk externally the ability to set our accounts to only login via BitID.

  @kerneloops @cryptonaut, @adam

  Any talks about an LTB specific IRC channel, maybe embedded within the forums (as you login, an option to sign in for IRC)? I can understand if the team is too busy to hang out in a chat room all day but since we have a quite an international audience, I bet there'd be members online at any given time.

  we actually have a pretty big skype chatroom going on already we've been inviting people to. not sure if any plans for IRC at all, could be cool though.

  @Cryptonaut You can count me towards the people who'd prefer IRC over skype, mainly because IRC works on all the platforms I use while skype doesn't.

  Hey @Adam, big fan of LTB and what you've done here. Just some random thoughts...

  Short Term:

  • Forum search functionality
  • Function to embed/reference LTB podcasts in posts

  Longer Term:

  • Mobile app (I see @RobMitchell references a mobile friendly site) that has above Short Term functions
  • Function for LTB'ers to rate, or generally discern quality, of posts and LTB podcasts, and earn tokens/rewards, maybe earn a living?
  • Apply above function to mobile app

  I think the difference between Skype chat (or any other IM) and IRC is that you have to approve each member separately on Skype, while on IRC anyone in the community can be on, without an invite. #bitcoin on freenode is way too generic, sort of like /r/bitcoin. Not sure if there'd be interest on an LTBcoin IRC, maybe a poll?

  You've mistaken this as one of those things you should ask permission about. I strongly encourage you to be the catalyst in this situation, create the channel and any rules you feel appropriately enables neutral, fair discussion and then advertise its existence here, you could sponsor the show.

  Add a button at the bottom of the page to take you back to the top of the page, because the threads are long.

  The lack of a Bitcoin Price ticker is one of my favorite features of the LTB site. If this were a democracy I'd vote to leave it out. The crypto community is not suffering from lack of price feeds.
  Howerver @william does have an excellent point that a ticker could drive traffic to LTB site if it were able to get published around the interwebs and linked back to a page at LTB.

  I'd also like to see signatures isolated away from content better. Perhaps if they were forced to the bottom of the post and separated from the content more (different color/Smaller or different font/stronger border). Right now on short posts a signatures show up in the center or top of a post and blend with the content of the post. This is pretty minor though and probably doesn't bother other people.

  @adam

  @william Would you believe I'm sorta a partner at bitcoinaverage? I like their price and breakout, if we integrate a ticker it will likely use that.

  That being said, you should expect LTB indexes in the future. It's a big area of focus for me, I think it'll be huge.
