Let's Discuss the Boards
I'm here to welcome any topic pertaining to the Boards, be it rules, features, questions, etc.
What questions do you have? What features would you like to see? How can we improve your Boards experience?

1: Make using images/gifs easier. Its annoying that some sites work and others don’t for no apparent reason.
2: Megathreads instead of 10 of the same posts take up all the space on hot section.
3: this one is ambitious: mobile app xd
- Have the Post Preview render images.
- Fix syntax handling when creating posts (> quote gets turned into > and thus doesn't get formatted correctly until you edit and change back to >)
- Improved editing for large posts. Right now it shrinks down to the smallest size, making it very challenging to edit.
- Auto Save posts/replies while they're being drafted.
- Better table support (easier to make, less manual)
- More stickers
- Format the hover over preview from Boards home so you don't have "Seriously, {{champion:123}} is out of hand, isn't it time they got nerfed?"
- Add the HTML so mobile browsers (particularly Chrome) can have the URL bar match the dark theme of the website.
- Fix GD so when you click on the next page it takes you to the start of the next page instead of the end.
- Fix GD so when you click a reply notification you're taken to the correct part (it currently shows the discussions page count as pages - 1, and takes you to whatever page you were on - 1)
Edit: I almost forgot, can we get an actual search feature? Half the time it returns posts which don't match what you searched for, and clicking the "show more" at the bottom clears out your search parameters.
Can you guys actually start deleting low effort posts made in gameplay where all the OP brings up is "a winrate" or "a playrate" without actually talking about anything else?
If you are looking into this, I made a rather long and detailed post yesterday about M&G that I would appreciate if someone took a look at. So far there has been no moderator response to it:

I think I speak for many when I say that I would like the ability to just simply move threads to the correct board instead of having to delete them and have the OP repost it again in the correct board. Many other sites, such as the fansites Wizard101 Central and Pirate101 Central, have this feature so there's no reason why the official League of Legends forums can't either.
Remove the Gameplay Boards, that's the only thing you should know
Would it be possible to make it so you could link runes directly into your post like you can summoners or items? It makes explaining certain things a lot easier.
Also, the boards still says "© 2017 Riot Games". It's been bugging me for ages.
Why don't you lower the strictness around gameplay+? There's only 1 post every 1-2 weeks at best.
Have all my posts start at 600+ upvotes. That's all.
A few suggestions I've had in mind:
-
Ability to hide certain boards/user discussions. A lot of us would feel much better if we could see everything but Gameplay, or not have to see specific user's discussions due to whatever reason.
-
More user-friendly image uploading. Either give us an easy walkthrough on how to do it when we're making a post, or just let us directly upload the images/videos.
-
Forbid multiple discussions on near-identical topics. We don't need 6 people with separate threads on how Yasuo's W is OP all on hot at once. Mandate they make it into a single thread, so that actually good content can be seen, instead of having to wade through dozens of shitty posts.
-
On a related note, can we also get slightly stricter moderation/rules on zero-effort/deliberately inaccurate threads? It's one thing to have 6 "Yasuo's W is OP, and here's the reasons why" threads, it's another for all 6 to basically be "Yasuo's W is OP because it blocks stuff" or "Yasuo's W is OP nerf now!".
-
Let mods move threads to different boards. Also let the person who made the thread move it, too.
-
PMs/DMs on boards, and ability to follow specific users. Let us see when a specific person posts a new thread (and/or comment), and let us talk to people through this.
Can we get the option to sort General Discussion comments by rating already?? As someone who scrolls a lot through the main page, I like to see in which direction most threads go by looking at the top comments who generally speaks for the majority of the community most of the time. But since GD has its annoying way of always being sorted by order, this makes it very hard. I know the main thing about discussion is seeing in chronological order who answered when, but you could simply give every comments a number representing their "order" while still being to sort by rating. this way, we have a general idea of when those comments has been posted compaired to others while still being to see the best comments, without having to scroll through several pages to see the public opinion like how it is now.
I assume the boards still being in beta is out of your guys' control and is up to Riot?
Will I ever be able to see the discussions on my profile again?
It's been two months.
Please papa Wuks.
An app would be really amazing. Thats literally all i want from the boards. Otherwise you're doing a really good job [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
I so far enjoy the board. but will we be able to have more settings to modify our boards profile? like the background, personal info, colors etc etc
I got some feedback about the new Placement/Tiers (Ranked overall) and is about the promos to tiers even if you can skip tiers your tier after winning promos isn't clear when you have a higher mmr.
For example if i am plat 4 and playing with and against d4 and others p4-p3 with this high mmr on promos i should be able to get d4 tier instead of p2 after winning promos.
This would help a lot to have more clarity on the tier you are showing, if it would be done before this and each time you play against players with 3 tiers higher than yours constantly and your mmr still constantly that high compared to the actual tier you have after promos you will be showing you real tier according to your mmr and lp gains wouldn't get so inflated afterwards.
We really need BBCODE for formatting, almost every other forum software out there uses it.
can you guys make it so that you can use your in-game emotes that you own on the boards? i am not a fan of the boards emotes
Hello Wuks, I'm going to leave some feedback from the LATS region;
Increase number of Emotes
This is mainly aesthetic, but people like to accompany their comments with them.
Runes icons
It would be a help for the guides, because for now we take the images from wikilol and we have to resize each one.
drop-down boxes
Like these or these. Please, they are great.

A larger list of tools
There are a lot of things that we have to do in the difficult way, align text, center paragraphs, letter of other colors, etc.
Have better previews
Foromaniacs work from a post deleted for editing, it is not so much problem, but an ideal xd
Delete the accent markin the object search
In my region, if you do not correctly use the accent mark the items do not appear, it is somewhat annoying.
For example "lagrima" is wrong, must be "lágrima" for 
Images at 700 pixels wide please, really please.
When you edit a post, you must press "edit" twice to have a good view Could it always be extensive by just pressing it once?
That the image inserted under the title does not obligatorily expand
That you can resize the font without converting the whole sentence, and you can use it in a table as well.
Make there options in other boards to push certain discussions to the top of the discussion board, that so that it can be Re-put to the top of the list, sort of like a pin, but given randoms some power with what people may first see, in case its a popular topic, and if a thriving discussion is wanting more attention it can be put there.
Edit: i'm fairly new to being active on the boards so im unsure if just the up/down vote does exactly that and haven't seen it, but it would be neat, so when someone checks it out, they can see what good active discussions are going on.

I've never understood the weird design choices for Bard, a man with the face of a golden bowling ball, very exotic looking hair covering it, and a weird looking horn growing out of his behind, it just doesn't add up to me.
Why NA boards doesn't have Off-Topic side-board? EUNE boards have it and if I used our boards I would do stuff like "photo of your pet" or like "what happend to me in the morning". If I sound annoyed, I'm not. Just I don't know how to type good in english sometimes
Could it be possible for moderators (or OP) to directly move a post from a section to another one ? Had a few of mine being removed because of it, and I didn't have a copy of that post, so basically gone. Or simply when I forget that I'm on the wrong section and delete my post to post it on the right one
How can we improve your Boards experience?
Effort requirements for posts in Gameplay. I don't need a title stated "I can't believe they're buffing Pyke" and the thread just being "lmao". That's just spam and low effort.
Why has it been multiple years, and the board still says "Beta"? I think Beta is over by now XD
An idea presented by a Eune player in the euw boards, saying to add another section for Rotation Game Modes discussions. Not big of deal but worth adding ^_^
