Hi
Why don't improve the forum, with the possibility of insert pictures and embed youtube videos?
That will happen...
But lichess is not run by employees. It's run by volunteers and people willing to donate their time.
So, it takes time. It could speed up if you know some friends who'd like to help with Lichess' development :)
I can't tell you how many times in the past few years I've seen this type of request.
It will happen eventually, either you wait for it, or you do it yourself.
True. I'd also love to have a high-tech forum.
But you know, if everyone shared lichess around + trillions^quintillions of more people saw it, there'd be gazillions^1 more people contributing to ze code... So features would flowing in (like when you hold your burning phone out of a moving car's window on a highway and you accidently drop it and can't retrieve it because everyone's driving 120 even though the speed limit is 100?) exactly.
Do we really want embedded youtube videos, pictures, or the option to edit, use italics, bold, quote, or delete our posts?
Myself, I don't care.
Lichess is about playing, not about forum. This is what I think. There's
chess.stackexchange.com for that.
I do think at least italic and bold fonts would be useful. The other stuff is mere frill.
Maybe just italics.
It would be handy to be able editing or deleting your own posts. Sometimes I forget a semicolon and it ruins my whole day! :(
