Email notifications / threads

I used to just have a single thread in my Gmail with the new stuff that had happened in Talkyard. Now I have 5. This is definitely not an improvement, it creates much more noise that isn't useful. Can it maybe be an option so that we can select/elect...

Add categories and default chat channel in sidebar

Request Entity is Too Large

We still have quite a few users who can't share screenshots on our forum. It makes a lot of bug hunting incredibly difficult. I guess it's because they have retina screens or something like that, which makes the images big. Would it be possible to: H...

Bug in Dropbox video embedding

See the post here: https://forum.soundflow.org/-2534#post-3 The user has posted a Dropbox link, which gets turned into a video element that is unplayable. In that case, having just the raw link would make it easier to see the video.
