User blog:DinoKev/New Wikia Forum

I'm glad to hear that Wikia have been working on a new forum feature. The demo looks promising. In fact I can't wait to activate and try the beta version on Zombie Jombie Wiki when it's released this autumn. I am aware of the limitations of the current Marketplace:Post Trade Requests page, and I have always try my best to make it better by exploiting most of Wikia's features. With this new forum feature, many issues will be solved. Here are some advantages of using the new forum for trades, discussion etc.
 * Discussions are threaded - You can follow threads that you are interested in and receive emails with the comments instead of receiving tons of emails with the current trading page.
 * You don't have to keep refreshing the page continuously because you will be receiving in-wiki notifications on the top right conner (just like message wall notifications) when someone commented on your thread.
 * Kudos button - it's similar to Gree's like button but you will be able to unlike a thread or comment after liking it.
 * More organised - All trading posts and thread will be concentrated in one forum "board".
 * It's much easier to use than the current forum especially if you're unfamiliar with wiki editing.
 * Unlike the current wiki-style forum, you will be able to post and reply to threads from your iphone.

Hopefully it will work well on ZJ wiki and the current trading page and trading blogs can be retired.
