Could we not incorporate wallpaper on the sides like this:

Beautiful but not advised. Why? => too long to load the page.

@LucH Good point I didnt think of that. Is this website builder we use slow? There are some ways to tweak picture to become lighter. I wounder if the pic would look to shitty. Maybe use backgrounds similar to danny roddy, they would still look nice even with some noise and size reduction over them. They could be really small pics in terms of size then.
In my work I sometimes lower a 20 mb picture down to under 3 but it still looks ok especially if it has not to many different colours in original and if its a pic that doesnt need as much color fading etc to look nice. Also if noice and removal of some of the image structure dont ruin the picture. So a 6 mb picture could become really small so it should be possible

It's fine for me. 1or 2 seconds to load the main page.
I have a medium speed connection: wired connection and 4 G (wifi) on PC.
But many people surf with a mobile. Must be taken into account in some countries.
A rough drawing might be suitable because very light in pixels. Mind with bright colors.
Having a contest would be fine: share first ideas / propositions and then put 3 options to the vote.
Keep in mind the end-purpose: light to load. -
@LucH I wounder if this website builder can have wallpaper on pc and no wallpaper on mobile, that could be very good in this case
Contest as in light in terms of filesize nice looking wallpapers? That could be cool

Technically it's possible to have two different pages to be uploaded but it's a young forum. Wait and see
-
@LucH What website builder is this?
-
I have noticed that search "in titles and posts" is now the default instead of "in titles". Definitely an improvement.
-
Another new tweak is that it is now possible to upvote a response.
-
@DavidPS yes! This makes the forum more engaging in my opinion. People who might be reluctant to post a comment can still be part of it.

@brad
I think another good feature would be if it was possible to embed videos (for example for threads liek this one: https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/107/bioenergetic-music-music-theraphy/101). It would suffice if you could embed HTML code if it isn't possible in a direct way. Don't know if it's possible with the forum software, though. -
@Luke Check it out. Youtube Video
-
The embedded videos aren't working for me. Do they work for others?

I only see the frame. If I click the play button, nothing happens.
