Badminton Central - Improvements?

Hi kwun,

My suggestion is to move the Discussion Forums link to the start of the headings and update the first link under Discussion Forums to 2021 Tournaments (right now it shows 2016).

The main page could be changed as well, it looks outdated with the old reviews and articles. I don't have an idea now but I will add it when I think of something.

you can change the sort order to show the newest first. i can't remember where it is though.
 
Suggestion: live chat
Location - under the main forum page, for logged in users only.
It would be fun to comment together on ongoing matches and tournaments. Perhaps it would bring the community closer together.
What's more it would help to keep threads about tournaments clean - many posts are simply comments on ongoing matches.

Moderation might be a problem. Clear rules for banning in chat (spam, insulting, shitposting) have to be established.

There is a Discord for the reddit r/badminton. The discussions there seem to be mostly very beginner questions, and the format (messages that scroll away, need to be online around the same time) doesn't lend itself well to thoughtful discussions.
 
Thoughtful discussions are reserved to normal threads. The quality of chat depends on the quality of the community. I see a lot of positive passionate people on this forum, and I feel that allowing quick discussion would be an added value.

Perhaps the easiest to give it a try would be to make a BC discord? No need to put it on the website when there are dedicated services that provide a good experience.
 
IDK if discord is popular/available in every country. There are forums that I know where shoutbox works well, so it was just an idea.
I don't know what it looks like from the technical side. With Vbuletin it was simply a plugin that you just had to configure.
 
I'd like to be able to search for specific topics that include numbers. It's kind of annoying that when I search for "Nanoray 900" I only get results for "Nanoray."

You can always do something like:

"nanoray 900" site:badmintoncentral.com

into a Google search.

Hi BCers,

Now that the new software is up and running, and hopefully help improved your experience with Badminton Central, I would like to request some idea from BCers.

As we want to improve and help inform and engage badminton fans, what type of features do you like to see in Badminton Central that will make your stay here even better?

Something that I can think of is:

- Equipment review
- More articles
- Tournament report
- Chat
- Better for sale section

Thanks,
kwun

Hi, any chance the captcha problem will be fixed? I finally signed up via tapatalk which I absolutely hate but can't reset password to use the browser as everything requires captcha and it never loads regardless of browser, os, device etc.
