Suggestions for new chainBB features

Without a doubt chainBB is one of the coolest forums I've seen. I feel like the way it categorizes things is so much better than steemit.

Some suggestions after going through it for a while:

• As a new user, not having a Post Now button on the home page made it a little overwhelming trying to figure out how to make a post. I think if you added a button to the home page it could possibly take the user to a screen that allowed them to pick from categories or a dropdown listing the popular ones.
  
  
  

• Before I clicked on any of the categories on the home screen I tried to do a search based on what I was looking for, "Poetry" for example. When I typed in "Poetry" into the search box it listed a few posts, but did not result in the category I was looking for. My suggestion is to have 2 search fields; one for Post Search and the other for Category Search.
  
  
  

• In order to prevent users from creating their own categories and subcategories (as this could just create a mess on the forum) I think there should be a section to suggest or request that new categories be created. Maybe allow them to define the primary tag that they want, but if it isn't already an existing category/subcategory within chainBB then it would would have to be approved by admin. Until that happens its categorized under their next tag that is used for their post.

• Making the Post Body box size adjustable (just vertically would be fine).

• An awesome favicon is definitely needed!

• My last suggestion for the time being is to add a "live" side-by-side preview of your markdown, similar to the way this open source online markdown editor does it https://github.com/benweet/stackedit. That way you can see what your markdown looks like as you are typing.

Overall, #chainbb is awesome. I hope there is some way that we can find ways for this to be used for other crypto projects soon. Looking forward to the next version!
