Hello, I have a little issue with my profile, I don't know if this is the right place or thread to make out the right findings for it. When I click to view my Post Stats it shows An Error Has Occured User stats are disabled. I don't know if you can fix this or if it is out of smallish task. In anticipation to your aid on this. Thanks.

Really, that is a very long time. I thought maybe because of long term inactive use of my account led to that restriction or something. Thanks for the big tension release.

When Meriting someone, I often get this:
It would be nice to show the maximum on the "Merit a post"-page. Or even better: strike-out the +Merit button for that user. If you're out of sMerit, that would also be a nice feature to avoid pointless clicking.

Some type of auto draft if you spend more than 2 minutes on a post.

I likely have had a few hundred long posts lost to me over the years.

One thing the continuous usage of various iterations of information programs taught me: SAVE, SAVE OFTEN.
I click preview quite often while editing a long post.
For this reason, I am also looking for a version of the drafts' organisation or, even better, a raise in the level of this raise.

I often copy and paste Bitcointalk threads in my posts and I'm sure many of you do as well.
Sometimes I post a link like this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5536913.msg65230289#msg65230289
When most of the times I'd like to post it like this: [April Fools] Replacing the merit system

Maybe it's a small thing to consider, but in the grand scheme of things I feel it could be a small evolution in the way we interact on the forum.

Here's my thinking on the matter:

Say I'd like to share this post in another post, I would press the currently imaginary share / 🔗 button located somewhere in the header of the post (in the thread title, or next to the quote and edit buttons). Clicking it would then maybe present a small dialog allowing me to copy it in this format:
Nothing too fancy, just a box with the selected text above for me to copy (ie without using Clipboard API).

Better yet, the box presented when clicking the share / 🔗 button would have two text fields, one with the BBCode like above and underneath a shortened link that would be very handy for sharing Bitcointalk posts anywhere.
We all know Bitcointalk links can get very long so having a short URL service for the forum would help people spread the word. The Internet would benefit from more Bitcointalk links in the wild!
It could even shave quite a few characters out of long threads filled with forum links ^{there's at least one example: Pumpkin Carving Contest #2 -Poll- Vote Now 🎃}

Where do we get a Bitcointalk short URL service?
Glad you asked and pardon the shameless plug, from here: BTA.lk - Official unofficial Bitcointalk short links ^{even worked a bit to format the link}  

I am supporting this suggestions.
This would save time and make forum look a bit cleaner, especially for people who are more lazy to do this manually.
If it is to complicated to change and implement this new code directly in forum, maybe some developer could create a script for this purpose.

i have scrolled through the whole thread now, but couldn't find anything comparable
when you go to the user profile, you can see the following information or you have the option of filling it out in your own profile:



but i haven't seen these fields filled in for any user - this is probably because only some of us still know icq, msn, ...

how about replacing these old chat apps with the new social media apps?
i would definitely suggest: twitter/x, instagram, telegram and simplex

would of course also be a possibility if, for example, you could select the apps i mentioned and of course others as well
the main thing is that the old ones disappear into the archive

you are absolutely right that this also offers scammers a new target... i hadn't thought of that directly
that's why i think it's important that the fields can be filled in optionally
