What features would you add on sciencemadness

I would add that when spam is reported by one person it states it on the post so others see it before clicking on the post

A random thread generator simular to Wikipedia random article button to come across other threads like a random number generator of the post number if the post does not exist it auto load another number.

The who's online button that shows what others are reading I would add a hyperlink for the links to also read the same thread.

Adding being able to form columns or tables yes I know you can just copy the code it always messes up the alignment of the text.

A note pad on your own profile page
And the option to make it public or private.

I know a lot of these would take a bit to code

Fun topic to discuss about, but practically: have you ever programmed?

Like tiny things while using Linux. I'm a beginner I wish I had the patience for coding. But I imagine applying these would take a while. When I got into computers I mainly learned Linux and computer security

Maybe a forum dedicating to trading, sales, etc. Where users can offer to buy/sell chemicals. Unless reagents and apparatus acquisition is already the place for that.

reagent acquisition is usually used for buy/sell/trade

I would've love to have sciencemadness mobile app!

And what value would be added by providing the mobile application?
Layout is a bit harsher in comparison to different sites but it has some old school vibe which is great (at least for me :) ).
I admit that UI could be improved but personally I would focus on providing the styles instead of writing new app (which requires a hell of work).

In my opinion the search could be improved. I found that I more often use google to find something on SM than the board search.

This is the feature I would like. Sometimes I just want to click like on a post to show support and not comment.

onion version of the site?
