Site Suggestion: Forum Thumbnail Colours.

44.5k Graingy  yesterday

Simple as.
You know how forums blend together by being all the same green blob with a two speech bubbles?
Well, I think there should be the option to colour them. Probably not tied to tags, especially seeing as forums can have multiple, just something someone can do if they want to colour code their own forums on their account (e.g. blue for teasers, red for status, yellow for game tips, etc.).

Fail this, replace the green with a text box showing the full title of the forum. Forum titles often get cut off, which can make finding a specific one a pain (even more so if you use a title template à la "Graingy [Type]:").

Would be handy, yeah?

Can't imagine it'd be TOO difficult, right?
Good quality of life feature, methinks.

    Also I may or may not want to eat a large number of rainbow forum posts.
    Skittles.

    @jamesPLANESii that would be useful too.
    I can say from experience, however, that finding old forums is definitely a pain in the ass and I’d like have a way to quickly mark and classify while making as opposed to having to always immediately hyperlink on a master post somewhere else, which is tedious.

    It would make sorting through your own past forums for information much easier, but in that case I would rather just be able to favourite forums and save them somewhere. You never see the forum thumbnail unless you visit someone's profile, and usually by then they're outdated anyway.

    Totally agree. Being able to color-code forums on your own account would be a really slick quality-of-life addition. It’s such a small change, but it would massively improve organization for people who frequent a lot of different threads.
    I also want to talk about https://simpleplanes.fandom.com/wiki/SimplePlanes_Wiki of course.
