The page

When clicking on the create new thread button, you get a page with 2 textboxes: Title (50 characters limit) and Body.
Clicking on PUBLISH shows a confirmation modal. The text says:
"Attention! Once you publish this post, it cannot be edited. Please double check for errors and ensure that your post is final and does not contain any obscene or inappropriate material before proceeding. Offending posts will be removed."
Then Confirm or Cancel buttons.

The delete button only shows for mods.

Main body

People can create threads. Same design as the reviews. Each post shows a 5 line preview.

You can order posts by latest (date) OR popularity (likes). The amount of LIKES for each post is hidden from all view. People can only see merits.

Posts older than 3 months are "archived" and their "popularity" doesn't count anymore. So if you order by popularity and it's older than 3 months, it won't count and it will use the date instead.

The entire post is "clickable"

Sidebar: Followed threads

With the Follow button, people can follow a certain thread and it would stay on the sidebar. You can follow up to 10 threads. If you follow more than 10, the oldest will be unfollowed automatically.

Merits Post count

This is a point system for each user on the forum. Each post or comment gives 1 merit. Each time someone likes your post, you gain 1 merit. If the post/comment/like is removed from the post, you lose the associated point.

Posts count is next to the username. Posts: number instead of merits.

Thread page

Labels

Each thread must have 1 label only (similar to github labels). It appears before the thread title. Similar design to when adding tags.

These labels are fixed:

• General (Blue)
• Level discussion (Green)
• Help required (Red)
• Showcase (Gold)
• Building (Purple)
