Forum feedback (plus some words to make it over 15 characters)

Forgive me, I’m not used to Discourse, I’m not sure what of this is configurable!

Adding alt text is not obvious - can this be improved at all?

Needing to hit the reply button can be counterintuitive - my eyes are looking for a textbox to type in! Is this configurable?

The popup to write a new post is odd.

The theme could use some a11y tweaking - hyperlinks are normally better with underlines, etc etc.

Character limits seem a little overzealous!

I can’t find much about that, but great feedback. I’m sure we can work with the Discourse team to get some more attention on that.

Probably: Is there a way to automatically expand the reply composer box by default? - #5 by awesomerobot - Support - Discourse Meta

How so? :sweat_smile: Same as the reply popup, right?

For sure! We have full control over CSS so no problem, I did note that it needs tweaking for branding already, but this is great feedback.

Haha just write a full sentence in your title already! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: but yes, that’s an easy tweak to do :+1:

Update on this one, still not very obvious, but I noticed you can edit the alt in the markdown of the post as well:

Also interestingly, I have not enabled the AI plugin here yet, as I’m trying to be very careful to have a great use case first, but this does seem a pretty handy feature:

I’ve taken it down a little bit, but there’s also an entropy setting that goes with it and I didn’t want to lower it too much. In reality, we’d probably want to write a longer title anyway, since you’re trying to get people to open it! :grin:
