Using the {code} tag only works for very basic text. If the text has any php open\/closing tags in it, the text gets stripped and you have to re-edit your post, if you even notice it&#8217;s wrong.<\/p>\n<p>2) The area where you write your text is too small, and has no scrollbar.<\/p>\n<p>3) There&#8217;s no way to jump to the last post in a thread from the thread list. You have to open the thread, go to the last page, scroll down.<\/p>\n<p>4) You can&#8217;t unsubscribe from a thread unless you re-post in it and un-tick the box.<\/p>\n<p>5) You can&#8217;t find your own threads. There&#8217;s no way to see a list of threads you&#8217;ve created.<\/p>\n<p>6) You can&#8217;t see who the thread author is in the thread list view. You can only see who made the last reply.<\/p>\n<p>7) The most recent reply date on the thread list view needs to display the time as well.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-13960","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Forum problems -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/forum-problems\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Forum problems -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi guys I know what devs are like, want to control everything \ud83d\ude42 But I&#8217;m not sure why you created your own forum system instead of using one of the thousand of pre-built ones out there.
