Purpose of displaying numbers? #76

Closed ghost closed 2 years ago

So it says "No. 30F3245S835" for example. That is a bit awkward, wouldn't it be more user friendly to change to "No" to "Reply" or something? Also, displaying the number is meaningless, since the human brain can not easily remember such a large number, moreover the number is not sequential so there is no value or reason to see the number. [[Maybe do not bother to display the number and change the "No." to "Reply"???]] << That is how my boards will roll :) In terms of front end web dev theory , one might say that the "No." followed by the number is distracting and does not fully serve the overall theme/goals of the board. Displaying the number might be considered a type of bloat? I honestly think the board would be better without even displaying the number, and it would cut down on server load a bit, wouldn't it?

Look, fchan is GREAT, especially after the new updates. It is definitely good enough now to worry about minor details like the above, to make it more user friendly. The "No." and then the number is okay- a unique and cool style, but couldn't it use some kind of minor tweak in order to make the board a tiny bit more user friendly for new visitors? Just an idea, thought I would run it by you. Thanks!! Oah and thanks to all who worked on the updates, Fchan is the BEST imageboard out there!!!!!! I know it may seem a bit autistic to worry about such a simple thing as the display of "No.", but Fchan is such an awesome board I think it could benefit from being more user friendly. I bet that once people learn more about Fchan - it will become more popular than any other php or node js board that ever existed. Fchan is the BEST! The secret society of peeps working on Fchan dev must keep a vigilant eye of Fchan dev! Other boards are over-engineered and have a huge attack surface. Fchan is everything a great imageboard needs and does not have unnecessary bloat . Fchan is what an imageboard SHOULD be- it is the best of the best of imageboards!
