[Missing features] Shared posts, following, spoilers and better chrono-discussion comment synergy

#Shared posts

Personally would be a godsend to allow other players that I choose to update one of my posts that is started. Perfect for posts tha require constnt updates and/or posts that represent a group and not individuals.

#Following

Yes, this again. Follow button. Ability for OP to alert followers with an edit to followed post. Allows posts to continue to live off of the front page.

#Spoilers

Also another constantly requested feature. Would be a serious godsend for long posters such as myself, not to mention the ability for some really creative outlets on top of the obvious organization buff to many posts.

#Better comment mode synergy

Said in one way or another, the discussion and chrono mode commenting bridge is still very clunky. Chiefly people who respond in discussion do not have a link to who they're replying to in chrono, which leads to a lot of a lot of confusion. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you incorporate the 'quote' functionality in a discussion mode 'reply' and then hide said quote (only in discussion mode) in one fell swoop would that not solve the problem? Maybe you can even use a baked-in spoiler function? nudge, nudge. wink, wink. know what I mean, know what I mean?

Completely agree with everything on this list.

I would love to see any of these (particularly following), or at least communication in regards to what is currently being developed. I am aware Riot is settling into the new office and the Boards platform is changing hands, but it has been a long time since we have seen or discussed Boards development.

I'm not at all interested in demanding features or rushing content (development takes time, ya'll!), I am interested in having some dialogue about the future and what's being actively worked on.

Personally I'm of the mind that gentle reminders are a relatively neutral method of starting an eventual conversation. Whether it's over the client chat or Boards.

For sure, and this thread is a great example of a gentle reminder. I am curious as to who is our primary point of contact on Boards development, or who it will eventually be. Zwill has brought some great communication into a few threads, and I'm very much looking forward to how this transition from centralized dev to regional teams (PS and PR) works out!
