I'm imagining what kind of new content will be added to the forums. These are small little things that will have amazing results in the long run.
1. New category icons. That are high quality, have color, detail, and shading, but it still looks professional and it will give the forums more of a fantasy game feel
2. New or more react buttons and badges that will increase involvement on the forums. Like a disagree button and badge or an lol one for example.
3. For the mobile version: dev tracker widget, icons, and tab.
4. Category settings to view or hide specific categories.
5. Change profile picture option under edit profile on mobile version.
6. Bug fixes with formatting. When reporting a post, only the left side shows up instead of the full pop-up. Have the pop-up automatically resize based on the mobile device's screen size
7. New post formatting options for both desktop and mobile. This can be font size, page break, picture size and allignment, insert table, font style.
8. More reporting options with some examples below.
9. New profile pictures and graphics. For mobile version: profile background color option.
10. Night mode toggle.
111.the mobile version of the forums gets slightly more of a Elderscrolls online aesthetic.
12. Reformat and rearrange some of the categories. Merge lesser used ones together. Give the categories new/updated names and descriptions. Streamlining categories for easier navigation, moderation, and post tracking.
The small little changes and bug fixes will have a big improvement on the forums. It's fun to imagine what some of those could be.
Some of these changes listed are based off of actual changes that were previously announced.
I have a suggestion for the actual application progress for when the already announced changes will be applied. Take time to apply them. Like add in some updates per month and then add in some more later on. This will give time for people to adjust and to learn. Also it will give time for those to find and fix new bugs. So that way the small changes won't end up becoming one big one.
Maybe there would be even a patch notes just specifically for the ESO forums.
